Lol so I see. Seem to be a popular choice atm. After having the jeep a week or 2 my insurance decided to drop a good bit. 225 looks alot for the money

Ep'3 are handy ran, i have had 2 as daily drivers one standard and one with a exhaust system and filter. Just like anything depends how you drive them. My wife has a fn2 now as a daily driver and its great i love it but its going shortly.

10k+ miles over the past year and the only issues I have had were self-inflicted really. Electrics are fine so get that out of your head, and at that you only need to check the window regulators.

I'm getting 22.8mpg according to the OBC. No point in working it out properly because I don't care all that much, I love driving it :grinning: It will take a load of abuse at the weekend and be fine for Monday morning for the drive to work (where it will also get driven hard depending on conditions)

You've been lucky. Speaking from experience, Megane electrics are a nightmare! I would say it's only a matter of time with most Meganes, I hope your luck holds out though.

Other than that, nice enough cars.
