It is the only model in the range to come with climate control and rear parking sensors as standard and it is £750 cheaper than its diesel powered sister.
PROS: The Renault Megane Coupe Convertible GT Line TomTom 1.4 TCe 130 is the best equipped model in the three-car range but it is not the most expensive. It is also the fastest and quickest.
CONS: At £22,750 it is not an overly expensive cabriolet but it is still £2,500 more expensive than the entry level Megane Coupe Dynamique TomTom 1.6 110.
The 1397cc engine produces an impressive 130bhp at 5,5000 revs and returns an nice 140 lb ft of torque at 2,250 rpm. A top speed of 124mph and a 0-62 mph in 10.7 seconds make this the most responsive cabriolet in the range.
The GT specification suspension should give the driver of this car a better ride and handling experience.
There have been reports of restrictive viewing through the two from windscreen pillars which will not add to the driving experience.
The ride quality is best described as solid but not overwhelming, with decent refinement.
All of the open top Meganes in the range are head turners, especially when the roof is down. One nice feature is the solid glass roof so even in cold or damp weather you can still get the feeling of open-top driving despite the roof being in place. Standard alloy wheels add to the good looks.
The entire range is well appointed and the Megane Coupe Cabriolet GT Line TomTom 1.4 TCE 130 is the best kitted out by far. As the name suggests TomTom satellite navigation is standard along with Bluetooth and MP3 connectivity. Climate control as opposed to air conditioning is also included as are rear parking sensors..
Power steering, central locking and stability control are also standard fittings across the entire model range.
All three variants in the range offer 211 litres of boot space which is not all that good if four adults are on board and you need space for all their luggage. However if you are using this car primarily as a two-seater the boot space will be more than sufficient for weekend baggage.
Again all three models come with driver, passenger and side impact airbags and stability control is fitted as standard. Security features include an alarm and immobiliser.
The car comes with Renault’s standard three-year or 100,000-mile warranty and the back-up of its 260-strong dealer network.
Given its exceptional performance figures, advanced handling and driveability this car should offer the best value for money in the range.
Potential buyers of the entry-level Megane Dynamique TomTom 1.6 110 could do worse than try to raise the extra three grand that is needed to make the step up the Megane GT Line TomTom 1.4 TCE 130, certainly if they are second time buyers and are looking for something more challenging and fun to drive.
