A big soggy gets very 'out of breath' when fully loaded or climbing hills.

Not exciting but for a 1.9 diesel in a large car it's not too bad.

Living with it
Reliability
In less than 8 months had to be recovered 4 times, dealers useless and un helpful, had to fight with Renault to get people carrier loan car. Faults to numerous to mention.

Not a bad looking bus!
Comfort
Seat quality poor but surprisingly comfortable in spite of this.

Security and Service
Security
No issues to report.
Service
Renault customer care simply don't care!, when you have a problem its all about them saving money i.e. giving the minimum they can to keep the customer quiet. I spent hours on the phone trying to get a 7 seat loan car when it broke down on holiday.
