Renault Mégane CC: Really responsive
The Renault Mégane CC is an all-weather Frenchman, says ChroniquesDuVasteMonde editor Katharina Wantoch.
"Maneuver finished." This warlike rhetoric does not want to fit the elegant Renault Mégane CC - to this coupé convertible, with whom I'm traveling on the Spanish Costa del Azahar. But the display in the test car would just signal to me that the panoramic glass roof, as promised by the manufacturer, folded and sunk in exactly 21 seconds - and that the coupe has become a convertible.
For safety reasons, this can only be done if the Renault Mégane CC is stationary. In the case of sudden rain showers, drive quickly to the right, but then please do not bother about the bad weather, because this car can also be closed. And because the glass roof is dimensioned across all seats, all occupants are guaranteed to know when they can be open-air again.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Renault Mégane CC has become 13 inches longer. Who sits behind, but still has little legroom, but recently a protective glass in the neck. If you are traveling alone or as a couple, you can buy a wind deflector. A worthwhile extra - especially when the six-speed transmission is properly maxed out. How that feels when the speedometer needle is 200, I can only guess because of the Spanish Highway Code. But at least that feels good. , ,
"Test drive finished", the Renault man welcomes me at the airport. "Too bad, too short," I think. When I finally get my luggage out of the trunk - quite comfortable with the only 59 centimeters high sill - I think not for the first time: really responsive, this Frenchman.
