Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Enjoy the comfortable seats and ride but can be a little harsh on Wiltshire roads with the pot holes.
Excellent equipment levels but would of expected blind spot warning on the model.
Easy to drive, and excellent fuel economy which benefits from being a hybrid so you won't kill any babies with the fumes.
Acceleration is smooth, engine doesn't scream unless you plant your foot which you don't need too.
Looks very smart in oyster grey with 18" black alloys and black badges, not too in your face and not bland.

How reliable do you find the car?

No problems so far, I think Renault have come a long way with reliability and build quality.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

First hybrid and very impressed.
Regeneration braking is additive adding battery power.
Well built, comfortable and has lots of toys but nothing too complicated and easy to use.
Looks great too, nearly went for a Peugeot 2008 but glad we didn't.
