Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Three years ownership, 8 grand loss, second hand buy. Not the worst, but surely there or thereabouts
Costs
Tyres, 150 quid a corner. Replacement Renault cards cost same again, with Reno covering costs. Fuel economy ok, but, 150 quid a corner for boots.

On the road
Driving
Drives alright, grip from tyres is ok, but balance that with them costing nearly 150 quid a corner. Think about that for a second and you soon would happily give up a bit of grip.
Performance
Neither here nor there
-
Living with it
Reliability
Air-conditioning pump x 3. Trip Computer x3. Engine Management reprogramme x2. headlamp washers broken, dealer can't/ won't fix. Cd player has odd nuance. Trim and build quality beaten by a 1996 Vauxhall Astra, nuff said.
Image
It's a car.
Comfort
Cosseting ride, little wind noise, comfortable interior ambience. Only downside is rear headroom.

Security and Service
Security
We still have it.
Service
Generall the dealer, Arnold Clark, where happy to tell us when we had to give them money. However on following up complaints/ grievances they were disregarding and rather uncaring.
