No fireball on the test track so the Sport tag seems a bit misplaced, but the diesel-powered Megane estate is a good towcar that stayed in control of its caravan all the way.
There’s a six-speed gearbox, though you’ll rarely need top gear when towing, and a gimmicky-looking handbrake that looks like an aircraft throttle control. It works well though and is ergonomically sound. As an estate car it works fairly well, taking about three-quarters of our typical accessory load.
