  • It was only 30mph! It should've been at least 40 mph into another car head on! That would have been more realistic.

  • This shape Megane will go down in history as one fo the best cars of all time.

    The 106ps 1.5 diesel; one of the best cars money can buy.

  • ca c est de la voiture!!!

  • 2:08 scary ...  :( very good car.RENAULT MEGANE...

  • renault = Fucking shit

  • sooo slowwwwwww

  • wer is denn so behindert und fährt da freiwillig rein.

  • j aime bien les crash test surtout les voiture que j aimes pas comme celle ci! en fin je veux dire sur toutes les renault

  • This model of the Renault Megane is identical to the mk 3 Renault Clio, Although saying this they look same apart from small differences, Headlights ETC. Renaults are really good cars

  • holy.. crap..

    does it seem to me, or the renault is ok ?!

    anyhow, they're very good cars

  • ok, great test, BUT....This guys KNOWS he is gonna crash, but what if.....you are sitting behind the steerwheel, and just reraxt driving, smoking a cigarette....and something like this happends suddenly and completely unexpected......will you then survive this crash as well???

  • @EclipseFreak if you're going to crash and there's no way out of it there's nothing you can do in a car, whether you know you're going to crash or not, that could effect you're survival. So whether he knew or not doesn't make a difference

  • is this guy stupid?

  • 1. Neck MRI

    2, BPD?

  • that crash was at 60 kmph or something?

  • WE had this very car, an 04 version we were travelling at 50 mph when a Citroen lost control commIng towards us doing 60 ish . He slid sideways into us and we hit his passenger side ..closing impact about 100+mph !

    I had only a bruised right arm and a bloody nose, my wife had a fractured vertabrae and broken finger. we were knocked out for a few seconds but we both got out of the car using the doors.

    The Citroen driver was not wearing a seat belt,seemingly he never did, unfortunately he died.

  • i have the same car ...and i dont understand why the airbag of the side passenger opens ...its really dump...Although its a nice car.

  • wats it like 2 live with? im saving up 4 a megane just like that. my dad has a sceinic. really nice

  • :) well I think it's in case you have a passenger in your car.

  • my mistake ....i mean in case there is no passenger but the airbag opens...in this video for example opens but there is no passenger..

  • It's probably because it doesn't have the "advanced airbags" system that invovles automatically turning off the (passenger airbag) when no one is sitting in the seat or if the seat belt isn't buckled.

  • but.... would you rather hit a car without your seatbelt on and hit a load of plastic or hit an airbag coming strait at you. the airbag is softer

  • That;s because they didn't unlock the side airbag using the key!!

  • i think lol

  • renaults are the saftest cars in the world, renault make there cars safe, they were the 1st car manufacture to bring out a car with a 5 n cap safety rating, and have not long ago brought out a car with a 6 safety rating, audis, bmws, mercs or volvos, loool, all have around 4 star ratings. plus this video is bout 6 years old. that megane look like it had hardly been touched compared to the other car.

  • Renault are good cars

  • I smell something. Oh wait. It's bullshit.

  • Most people what?

  • KTZCss you dont understand me ;p

  • at 60kmh ?? test in full speed!!

  • its because this kind of accident come at this speed in cities... if u do it on a highway with 130 or 150KM/H you won't be here to post messages on youtube i guess ;)

  • in which car will you be here to post messages then? a 4-star X5, or a 1 star f-150?

  • i htink it will depends of your % of luck, and if you drive a volvo, audi, or saab more chances to survive i think.

    Sorry for you if you are a Renault fan ;)

  • 30x1.6=???

  • Gotta love the megane =) I've got my eye on a late mkII Break in dark grey! Stunning [please note that I'm not a big fan of french cars, especially estates, but this one's really cool =D]

  • Renault Megane is one of the best car on the world.

  • i think it's hard to be as u said

  • were u drunk wen u wrote this ?

  • La megane est une voiture rèussit par renault je peut l'assurer

  • poor car ;/ i love french cars, especially Megane ;(

  • The Renault Megane is one of the bests frenchs cars , so it' not a poor car like you say , it's a very good car.

  • Renault are great cars

  • had a focus and a civic but my megane is the better out of them both handles so much better

  • i own a 1.5 diesel 2003 megane .. and i have to say .. its the worst car i have ever owned .. CHECK INJECTION !! non stop ! nothing but break down after break down .!! FRENCH SHIT! do not buy one!!!!

  • Love top gear, love Megane. I own one and I feel safe.

  • Love top gear.

  • i have one

    it's a perfect and safty car

  • i have one

    it's a perfect and safty car

  • they have no brain brainless!!!!!!!!

  • Passenger side o the other car took most of the belt.

  • If they don't wanna that Megane, could give to me...

  • OMFG i miss brainiac on g4tv....

  • top gear not brainiac

  • ? well hear in canada there's a show called brainiac that was shown on g4tv a couple of years ago that i loved to watch and he was the host..

  • yea he was the host on brainiac, but is more famous in the uk for TG :d

  • great test

  • go faster... like hundread miles /hour... lalalallaal

  • go faster buddy!!!

  • choca contra la parte mas ''blanda'' de un vehiculo, el lateral, arrastra al otro coche durante un par de metros, por lo que la energia cinetica se disipa en un intervalo de tiempo mayor que en un choque contra un vehiculo que venga en direccion contraria a nosotros o un obstaculo solido que este fijo.

    podemos compprobar que la cabeza del conductor apenas toca el airbag

  • Gamo tin Panagia sou deikse to trakarisma!!!

    Kariolara ksekoliari gamo ti mounara tis manoulitsas sou

  • é impressao minha ou o air bag do condutor nao abriu totalmente?

  • dumb fucker

  • just show the fuching crash dumb fucker

  • colourful u mean my language ie dh i could think of worse words to call a person but it just annoys me when people like the cretting he was just shows off to his philipino girlfreind hes lucky he never killed her to

  • i cant wait till the courtcase is over the photo evidence i have what happened to our car will show you theyre not as safe as they make the car out to be

  • Cars have crumple zones to absorb the impact. Modern cars look worse on slow speed collisions than old cars look on faster ones - they take the impact to keep the energy away from you. I still say that typing on YouTube 2 weeks after a 60mph crash is amazing. After your 'colourful' message though, I hope the drunk gets his hard justice.

  • bruv until you have been in a crash at that speed twat you wont know what it feels like or what mess it leaves so dont u dare call me ungratefull you up your own arse dickhead

  • lmao i thought he was going too pay him ...

  • what's the speed?

  • ~40km/h

  • 40miles/h ducon

  • Hey, j't'insulte pas moi -_-'

    Tu t'prends pour qui...tssss ça m'énerve les p'tit c** dérrière leur PC...

  • 30 mph

  • congratulations

  • these bloody cars do fall to bits was in 1 2 weeks ago and it got smashed to bits in a crash was fooking scarey as any crash is but seatbelt ripped right in to my skin and we got hit at 60 mph the engine even fell to the floor with the water bottle when we got hit and got laserations right across my stomache were seat belt was and now left with a possible limp the airbags scared the shit out of me but still breathing hope the arsewhole who crashed into us though gets book shot at him

  • "Bloody cars fall to bits"? You were struck at 60mph 2 weeks ago and you are typing on YouTube? I'd write a letter to Renault to thank them you ungrateful sod!

  • MEGANE IS THE BEST!!!!

  • The worst car in the world, for me, it's the fiat multipla. It's an european car, so you can see I'm not chauvinistic.

  • American cars are expensive and pollute more than european cars. And They are too big.

    This one (Megane) isn't ugly. But it' my thinking. It's not very debatable...

    If its interior don't look better than a chrysler, I prefer buy this french car because very very cheap than the chrysler ! And, for me, the PT cruiser is ugly... It doesn't respect dynamics...

  • i would like to say that french cars are not allowed in the united states because they do not pass our emissions test. so how can you say american cars are more polluting? then again, i suppose it would be more important because you are taxed based on this while i am not. i think the europeans are too harsh on american cars. bottom line: they are one of the most reliable cars on the road. they will last over 200,000 miles regardless of how cheap the dashboard feels.

  • Because they are bigger and transporting only one person generaly...

    You are taxed for the importation as we are for yours.

    My car is a R5 from 1979. The person who living next me have a 205 (peugeot) witch have 350000 kms. It's 30 years old too.

    Why should I buy an expensive Chrisler if I can have the same (less ugly) with french cars ?!

    Whatever, if we lived in the same place, we could compare with the same base... But for me, as's PTcriser is really bigger than megane o.O

  • no XD where i live mostly people carpool, suburbia, so usually people maximize their 8-passenger space. dont look at me, i technically have a french car, nissan, i think the engine might be french, 2.5L 4 cylinder? i dont believe in excess, i have 2 sedans for my wife and son. pretty much the last family i know who hasn't gotten an SUV or minivan for the family. my brother in law has the same wife and kid i do, he has an 8 seat honda pilot suv, and a 7 seat minivan nissan quest. idiot lol.

  • and when i said the same wife and kid, i didnt mean... you know lol. his family is in the same layout as mine

  • I m'not sure I understand all you say... I'm not the best in english here.

    But what I can say that it's alway rich people who pollute more. They are too good for us and thez don't try to go in the same car with us (I'm not sure it's possible to understand what I wrote XD).

    But I can say to you that being in a r5 with 3other persons it's very funny (without when the road is climbing) !

  • i understood you

    what's an r5?

  • You have just to write : "r5" or "renault 5" on web. It's an old little car which specifities is the easy it can rust XD

  • French cars are allowed in the US, they easily pass emission tests (well the diesels maybe not). But it's a question if you want to be in a market at all. Strict US emission tests are a myth, most new cars from the US market don't qualify for Euro4. If I want to import an Infiniti I get Euro3 only. That means as new car it wouldn't even be allowed to be sold anymore because all carmakers have to offer at least Euro4 norm.

  • it says on peugeots website that they do not comply with us and canada emissions standards. i saw a renault scenic with mexican licence plates in arizona over the summer, but they said on the site that if you were to import one, it would be confiscated.

  • Automobiles Peugeot does not manufacture any more vehicles in conformity with the standards in force in the United States. In fact, it is unfortunately impossible for whoever to import a Peugeot brand vehicle in the United States. Any attempt at importation would involve the blocking of the vehicle to the port of arrival and impossibility of using it on the territory of the United States and Canada.

  • i got that from their web site, if you do not believe me, go to peugeot's global site and look at the us part.

  • Er, no. First of all, Peugeot does not equal all rfench cars. 2nd, that may be possible for the diesel engines as the USa have stricter emission regulations for diesel engines inc ars than Europe, but more lax for gasoline engines. As for Canada, they have a law that a car ahs to have zero damage in a 7kph crash, that's why they don't have every Mitsubishi Evo for example. If the french carmakers would want to enter the USA, it would be simply very expensive, but not because they can't.

  • idk about diesels because they're in the mexican market, and mexico does not use diesel either.

  • how can you guys tell me that european cars are more stylish than american cars, when all peugots and renaults look like they are a fat man with an enormous ass lol. their interior looks like its been lifted out of a dodge nitro also. by which i mean it looks and feels cheap

  • American cars are horribles !!

  • how can you tell me that this car is any better? it looks way uglier than any car in general, let alone american, its interior looks no better than a chrysler, so how is this car any better? explain this to me.

  • les voitures franciase st mieux que vos voitures américaines!! on pollue pas tout la planète au moins!

  • cette voiture ne regarde pas meilleure que le croiseur de Chrysler pinte. en termes de pollution, im non sûr, parce que le gouvernement américain n'impose pas sur celui. je pense que vous des types êtes trop dur sur les voitures américaines. le tableau de bord se sent. de l'autre côté, ce megan shitty semble avoir le même tableau de bord grêle que n'importe quelle voiture américaine. la différence étant... les voitures américaines durera plus de 200,000 miles.

  • aussi, à ce jour, le renault, le peugeot, et citroen ne passent pas les essais d'emmissions que de notre gouvernement l'agence de protection de l'environnement gère sur des véhicules. c'est pourquoi ils ne sont pas vendus en america/canada.

  • Mégane, a really good car!! !! !!

    i love mine :)

  • Same mate. Decent car, love riding in them. :)

  • they went in to the Ford very slow, I think that they should have driven it in about 120 km/hto really see what happens

  • 3:26 LOL! This is the safest car ever made.

  • I have been told that renault was actually fine with it. And yah i have ridden in the car. They should export them to the USA i think they would do quit well here.

  • I dont know, but arent they shipped to Canada? I seen a canadian driving around in the same car here in Texas

  • I think so but i am not sure.... Ford own renault. I know that unless they sold them off sence last time i have checked.

  • Ford has never owned Renault.

  • Megane forever I love you

  • I have a 2004 megane 120dci in 3 Doors Luxe Privilege and I Love It... very comfortable on the Road and good reaction in High Speed...and we have in my family the RS 235Cv and it's an excellent Car too !!! I love my Megane !!!

  • i love my megane

  • i had the same sort of crash in my 2002 ford focus but i hit a toyota camry, i walked away from it but i really hurt my wrist and the car was badly damaged.

  • MEGANE IS THE BEST!!!!

  • mercedes is shit .i cnow this cars very well Renault and Volvo for ever!

  • It's top gear!!!!!!!

  • if you want to be safe...buy european...american cars are shit...i saw a Ford F-150 crash you assume it's big it's safe..NO the whole cabin crumpled...korean cars are shit because they're made of paper and sticks...get a volvo or a merc or a BMW

  • I don't know about that. My brother drove our 1991 Ford Aerostar van directly into a brick wall and only a golf ball-sized dent is present.

    British Land Rovers are great too. It's only new American cars that are absolute shit. Crash a 2006 Chevy Venture at 30mph and it will fold like an accordian. We call those cars "Beer Cans". I suppose that's the best we can get for $25,000.00.

  • w124 and w201 are the best cars!!!

  • YES! I got a W124 rolled over three times! And i got out and said: "Damn..i wanted to drive this Car forever". But the axel was crushed...:(

    I didn't even had a scratch!

    Oh and i rolled it over at nearly 90 Kp/h

  • renault and volvo are the safest cars.mercedes is shit!

  • Legioner You're idiot.They showed a simple and the weakest crash I have ever seen! This is not a big crash hiting the other car in it's door. Nobody wants to make a comparable crash test with Mercedes W124 for example - I think it will be not very good for renault driver believe me. The only car in 1992 crash test which won was the Mercedes W124 - the passengers compartment stayed intact! It was the only car with stable compartment. The W124 can stand against some modern cars as a very safe car!

  • renalt and volvo are the safest but mercadies is not far behind and not even close to being shit

  • 1993/4 REnault Clio's crash well i know. i crashed one at nearly 120 kph.... it hurt like hell but all i have to date is a scare on my right arm. and occasional twinges in my back... but all in all not bad for a car thats teh size of a bean can

  • Fiat too

  • Hmmmm I appreciate the safety of the car, but it's so damn ugly.

  • ahahah ... :D

  • They did use a dummy.

  • BULLCRAP that was barely even an impact!

  • respect

  • wich episode # is this

  • what an amazing car

    Thats what I call safety !!!!

  • wicked car love it

  • Impressive. I'll get one for the wife. Wait a minute, I'm not married! Phew! I won't be needing safety then. ;-)

  • lol

  • Love this car to bits, got a silver one, absolutely brilliant

  • y yo quiero un automovil

    y estos lokos los asen mierda

  • hacen

  • holy shit i wish my jeep was that safe

  • fuck alf

  • megane é uma bosta !!!

  • 2:20 too bad

  • he slowed down before the crash. at 2:04

  • do that at 90 mph and I'll be impressed. 30 mph is a pussy hit

  • Show me a mass production car that can assure drivers safety in such intense hit, I mean 90 mph isn't even legal speed so it's your own responsibility

  • haha he opened the wrong door!

  • No he didn't he opened the drivers door

  • we drive on the right

  • yea, the wrong side

  • no.

  • Excellent Car!!!

    Few months ago had a car accident and hit a telephone pole, most of the people that were in the car walked away from the car accident, if your asking just the passenger broke his leg, but I highly recommend the car to any one!! I still miss my car, even thou I already bought a brand new one (hope this one last more than the megane) Hello from Panama

  • idiot

  • J'ai du mal a y croire, ce ne sont pas des voitures réputés pour leurs performances et leur sécurité . " Renault, tout les jours un bruit nouveau " (mon père vient de vendre la sienne je sais de quoi je parle )

  • c'est faux! je suis pas du tout fan de voitures françaises mais les renault ou souvent gagner des titres de voitures la plus sure ( niveau sécurité pas mécanique) dans plusieurs magasines même etrangers, et les ingenieurs de renault sont des precurseurs dans les dispositifs de sécurité dont le travail est imité par beaucoup d'autres marques

  • he sits on the wrong site

  • pauvre megane

  • moooouuais! tu sais ce qu'on dit en france :"renault garde ton velo" "buy a renault keep your bike close"

  • huh

  • Pseudo-real ? Debile tej "sztuki" nie ocenią !

  • yesterday night i crashed frontally at 70kph into a concrete pillar, i walked down my secure car to phone my family, i'm totally save, the only problem, i'll miss my dear car!!

    PS don't drive when you're drunken, greetings from mexico

  • im gonna use it to kill sumbody

  • its safe but what a fugly car by all means. the back is repulsive.

  • i have to phone renault :))))))))))

  • they should crash the renault (without the stuntman) head to head with the other car, the damage would bigger ... in these case they hit the weakest part of the other car ...

  • manyakmı bunlar ne!

  • nice job be a crash tester man LOL

  • nasıll gençler beğendinizmi

  • megancıyız yanlıs olmasın

  • The smoke effects that happened after the air bags deployed was the particles of fiber glass(dust) stored in the air bag canisters. Peace.

  • no its not, fibre glass would be quite dangerous to inhale. The bag is made of nylon. The bag is coated in corn starch and/or talc powder to ensure smooth deployment. The only thing in the canisters are gases that mix to create a sudden expansion of gas to inflate the airbag, about enough to keep it inflated for around 1 second. No fiberglass is used in any airbag system.

  • The dust in the car is the gas escaping from special vents in the SRS bags, allowing the gases to escape and the talc and starch.

  • I miss hamster :))

  • choca a 120 y luego m lo cuentas franchuti de las pelotas, menuda mierda de pruevas a 60 km/h a 60 no va ni mi abuela de paseo

  • espectacular!!!! yo tambien quiero hacer eso!!!
