What does this car say about you?

Boring!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Nice colour (Eclipse), comfty seats.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, like to change as we only get it replaced every 4 years (about 100,000 miles).

What are you likely to buy next?

Whatever my job will let me!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

April 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

N/A - Company Car

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Company car - to replace a Laguna. We had a choice of cars but all were Renaults!

What was the dealer like?

Good

What's it like to drive?

Good - after having a 1.9 dCi 120 Laguna we were worried that a 1.5 dCi 106 might be quite sluggish in comparison. It actually feels faster! *UPDATE at 13 months/26,000 miles: Engine became very rough at about 16k, this seemed to be rectified after service.* *UPDATE at 32 months/67,000 miles - car seems to become very rough and sluggish when coming up to service intervals, I think that 18k between services is too much*

What's it like to park?

Easy - good visibility. Good steering lock and visibility.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet - only had it for a month! *UPDATE at 13 months/26,000 miles: Radio reception was awful so new arial and Driver's seatbelt frayed so replaced - all done at 18k service. Not bad for 26,000 miles!* *UPDATE at 32 months/67,000 miles: Electric window fuse went, nothing apart from that. Very happy with car overall*

What's most practical about your car?

Big boot, opening tailgate window (£150 option).
