Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

After reading reviews in many car mags, I realised this was probably the best hot hatch around.

Very helpful. After ayear, however, they had lost proof of the Free Service deal! After a call to renault HQ they sorted out the original deal for me.

No.

What's most practical about your car?

I have taken 5 adults with luggage to the Vendee in France, in a car which has looks of a svelte hunkered down coupe. This is remarkable. I have removed a carpet and underlay from asatirs, landing, and a bedroom- in one go, to recycling centre!

Sat Nav.
