Needed the extra room, and fancied a change from my megane 1.4 petrol.

Nice bloke, very upfront and honest. wouldnt budge on price when i tried to get an even better deal. understandable.

What's it like to drive?

Smooth, good torque in any gear, good seating position, steering is very light. a pleasure to own.

Only parked it a few times, its hard to tell if the front is close to something, reverse parking is easier.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope. its been great so far, im a little worried about the horror stories you hear but ill cross that bridge if it comes to it. (touch wood) only thing ive replaced is a boot bulb. it also hasnt been back for the auto handbrake recall, but its now booked in.

What's most practical about your car?

Nipping about the village i get 50mpg, 60 on a longish run. boot space is good.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air con. it dosent seem to affect the mpg or the torque of the engine like it did in my megane petrol.
