    Economical on fuel. Non-Renault parts freely available.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Surefooted, positive and surprisingly unlike a van.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Sluggish when fully loaded. Nippy otherwise. Sits at 80mph on the motorway.

  • Living with it

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Descends from the Renault 4! Not a status symbol, more a lifestyle choice.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Big comfy 'van' seats in front. Basic bench in rear. A bit unrefined at high speeds.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good 'tamper-proof' locking system and immobiliser.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0
