Australian Summer Cars 2

Renault Megane Coupe Cabriolet

Yesterday we started this series with one of the cheapest way for someone to get into an open topped car in Australia - a 2000 Holden Barina Cabriolet. There’s no way today’s convertible could be called ‘cheap’ but it certainly is the most unusual of all the convertibles in the ones we will be looking at over the next few days.

While all the other convertibles in our list of Australian summer cars have either metal or cloth tops the Renault Megan Coupe Cabriolet comes with something very unique - a glass roof. But then unique is nothing new to Renault

Renault Megane Cabriolet

The Renault Megane Coupe Cabriolet is powered by a 2 litre 16 valve 4 cylinder motor that puts out 98 kilowatts of power. It comes fitted with fully intergrated automatic roll bars, leather trimmed upholstery plus a full range of extras.

The Nissan Tiida

Friday, May 12th, 2006

When Nissan released the Tiida I had a feeling I had seen that car somewhere before. It was just one of those niggling little thoughts in the back of my mind made even more annoying because the claim from Nissan was that this was an all new design.

Well now I know why I had that feeling. Nissan in the US is quite open about the fact that the Nissan Versa (that’s what the Tiida is called in the US) is actually based on this car:

Nissan Tiida/Renault Megane

the Renault Megane.

That doesn’t mean that the Tiida is not a good car - in fact it just goes to enhance the quality of the car because Renault have been building great cars for many years.
