Hi all, new to the forum......
Thinking about upgrading to a Megane 225 from a clio 172, as i now need to have a 5 door car due to me becoming a dad in the near future.
I have had my clio for nearly 2 years and have managed fine with the runnings costs insurance petrol tyres etc, but was wondering of anyone else has swapped from a clio to a megane and how they found the difference, (if there was any) I currently get around 33-35 MPG in the clio, how much is this likely to decrease by?
Thanks
Ian

Totally depends on your style of driving really, I would expect a decrease

I upgraded from a 172 to a 225 in January. Get about 30mpg average out of my 225. Was getting up to 40 out of the clio. My megane has got a lpg conversion fitted so it is v cheap to run.
Running cost are kepy low if you drive sensibly.

Did you get the LPG conversion done yourself? I was looking into it but they wanted about £1800 for the job

I used to average around 40mpg in the clio - its hovering around 33ish in the megane now..
tyres for the megane will be more expensive than the clio
Insurance should be about the same, maybe a little higher due to the value of the car
