Weve got a megane mate and its great, nothing wrong with french cars its the auto gearboxes, infact you tend to find the synchro meshes in alot of french boxes tend to go n leave you with a crunch in one or two of the gates, its just how they are. Both the ford and vauxhalls have pretty good boxes to be honest just look for cars upto 50-60k, there should be shed loads mate

IF ITS NOT BROKE, YOUR NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH!!
