What does this car say about you?
Its a tropical green - so bright and individual. Also the bright colour means that the car is noticeable and that is an added safety feature.

Several neighbours bought the same model within a few years of seeing mine.
Would you buy this car again and why?
If I was not chasing MPG then yes ...
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably another Renault - the Captur or Citreon C3 are favorites.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Easy to drive with enough power to cope with challenging roundabouts.
What's it like to park?
Relatively easy. Its only around the length circa (4 metres) of today's super mini - mini MPV gendre - so no issue.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Normal wear and tear apart from the coils that are part of the engine firing cylinder system. The four coils have failed at least 6 times between them so I carry a spare all the time. Cost of replacement is around £30 approx. which the AA seem happy to do.
What's most practical about your car?
The 500 litre boot space and high seating position. Loads of internal space and comfortable.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
MPG measurement - that helps me learn how to drive economically.
