Good value on purchase, but this has been spoilt by continuous problems ever since.
Costs
Very cheap to run. Good insurance and fuel costs.

On the road
Driving
Very easy to drive and handles amazingly. However, the overall driving experience has been spoilt by constant creaks and driver's seat noise / movement.
Performance
Very fast car. The 1.4 16V engine is full of torque and is great at overtaking.

Living with it
Reliability
I have had nothing but problems with my car ever since I have had it - Leaking sunroof, noisy / rocky driver's seat (replaced twice), creaky sunroof (replaced but still noisy) and faulty airbags (twice)…
Image
A great little car to look at. Looks very sporty both inside and out.
Comfort
Very comfortable driving position. Sports seats grip you really well. Lots of head and leg room in the front and back. Overall comfort has been spoilt by the constant movement from the driver's seat.
-
Security and Service
Security
Very secure. Immobiliser and Category 2 alarm come as standard. The doors automatically lock you in when you start driving. This can also be maunally selected if you are sitting anywhere in the car.
Service
Very poor service from West's Renault in Cambridge. Extremely bad workmanship has caused more things to go wrong and replacement items needed (Sunroof and driver's Seat).
