Extremely easy and light car to drive.
Performance
Not bad considering it is a 1.2. Overtaking is adequate once the car is at reasonable speed.

Living with it
Reliability
I have had the car for nearly 4 years, and it has never let me down. Still seems to be on original brakes and exhaust, despite me doing average 12000 miles per year.
Image
Doesn't exactly stand out in a crowd, but not a bad image either.
Comfort
For a small car, very comfortable, but then I don't sit in the back!
-
Security and Service
Security
Never even had an attempted break in. Fitted with immobiliser as standard.
Service
It has only been serviced once at the Renault dealer, who forgot to stamp the service book. After paying about £130, they could have done that without me having to point it out. Every other service has been at an independent garage.
