very nice to drive, cruises easily on the motorway. sticks to corners nicely. acceleration not the best but this isn't really a problem in a family hatchback!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Since owning this car I have experienced many problems, starting with one problem and escalating to a new problem each time I use the car. Here is my list of problems that this car has caused me: 1. Both electronic windows stopped working and after following advice from renault we bought new switches in the off chance that this was the fault. Little did I know, this just the beginning... in the end it was discovered that both of the window circuits had been completely corroded. The result?....ripping all the window circuits out and replacing everything at a cost of £600! :O 2. Wind screen wipers...the function that allows you to pull the indicator stalk towards you and manually control the number of times that the windscreen wiper moves as well as the windscreen spray broke.
What's most practical about your car?
the start/stop button
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
panoramic roof (and the handbrake)
