Buying a Renault Megane Sport Tourer - which model is best?
I'm looking to buy a new Renault Megane sport tourer GT - I need the extra room and like the sportier look of this estate, I'll be going for a manual but I can't decide which engine variant to go for though - 3 choices:
1. Petrol 1.2 TCE 115 (119 Co2 £30 tax)
2. Diesel 1.5 DCI 110 (93 Co2 £0 tax)
3. Diesel 1.6 DCI 130 (104 Co2 £20 tax) +£300 for this engine
If you have any knowledge of expected reliability, actual economy, performance, noise etc or generally any advice you can give it would be much appreciated.

This is actually new/old model Megane because a new Megane is already being built but won't come to the UK until summer. The 1.6DCI 130 is the best diesel engine. The 1.2TCe is much smoother. Tested here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/renault/renault-me.../

Plenty of interior space. Good comfort levels and easy to drive. Revised model from 2014 looks good. Well refined.
