Economy
Value
Bought car for £150, but needs to have some work done to get it through MOT so not great. Should be economical being diesel though
Costs
Very cheap on diesel

On the road
Driving
Very good for age
Performance
Good performance. Plenty of low down pull which is ideal for towing. Turbo really makes a difference to acceleration, but can lag a bit

Living with it
Reliability
I have not had car long enough to give a fair verdict. Engine, gearbox, clutch and electrics all work well, which is promising
Image
Much better then the saloon model, which I had previously
Comfort
Excellent. French cars are the most comfortable going

Security and Service
Security
Has remote central locking and immobiliser, but I don't have the immobiliser key
Service
I only use the Renault main dealer for parts. Any repairs I cannot do myself I take the car to an independent Renault specialists. If you find a decent mechanic stick with him. B.G Motors ST PETERS KENT. TEL 01843 860001. REC HARRY
