I had a number of Renault 12s when I was younger, great cars! Bought my lad an early 1996 1.4e Megane when he was learning to drive, had around 90,000 miles on it but had no real problems with it once the coil was replaced. He had it for about 5 years, but the engine was a sweetie, the oil came out of the engine every year looking as it did when it went in, clean as a whistle. Not much performance, but I used to thrash it a bit and it was fine. Bit of a hoot to drive really.
