    Overall very good and cheap to run. Dealer servicing is expensive, though.

    Love it to bits. Lots of poke, nippy around town and good on a long journey down the motorway.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    An all rounder.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far so good, although spark plug coils failed after 18 months; needed an exhaust refit after Renault London West failed to put it back correctly after its first 'saftey' check.

    Quite a bland looker compared with the latest offerings on the road.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Highly specced car for the price!

  • Security and Service

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I'd have given a 1 if I was still using Renault London West, as they cost me my warranty by their ineptitude. Renault Stockport have been fantastic; very helpful (even tried to get my warranty back!)
