In short, no, the Renault Megane can’t touch the Volkswagen Golf in terms of perceived quality and brand cachet and in all honesty it’s the later which holds the biggest sway of consumers’ minds.Īnd while you might think the Golf is leaps and bounds ahead it really isn’t, and the refreshed Megane does an admirable job of competing with its very Germanly engineered competition. Because surely, in both respects the Renault Megane, can’t touch the Volkswagen Golf?Ī few years ago, the answer to that question would have been a clear cut, “No!” but as in all situations where you find an underdog scrambling to make it in the big league, the gaps in quality which were huge a few years ago, are quite quickly closing in and becoming smaller and smaller. Likewise the GTi sits proudly atop the heap as ‘King of Hot-Hatch Hill’ (yes debatable, but not now) and while you might wonder what this has to do with the Renault Megane GT-Line I’ve recently been driving, there is reason to my madness. But, like or not, the Golf is the benchmark within this popular segment and to not acknowledge it as such would be almost, well…rude. And, there are fewer more worthy of wearing the market leader badge than the Volkswagen Golf. There are fewer more hotly contested segments within the industry than the one the Renault Megane finds itself in.
