Got a good deal on the price at time of purchase. But have had problems since so wish I had never bought it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Bought the car for my wife and hoped it would last for 10 years or so with no problems. How wrong could I have been!!

What was the dealer like?

There were very nice but then they are trying to sell you a car.

What's it like to drive?

Ok when its running.

What's it like to park?

Easy its tiny.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes kept reving up to 4500 revs on its own, dealer could not find fault at first but eveventually replaced the throttle module. Then just out of warranty all the warning lights came and steering went very heavy, was told the engine wiring loom at fault and after they replaced the loom the fault was still there so then they replaced the ABS module, total cost £1180. Car only done 8000 miles so complained to Renault uk who covered 75% of the cost. I still think that it was diagnosed wrongly in the first place but they will not admit to that.

What's most practical about your car?

Rear seating.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Air con in the summer.
