Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

After waiting 9 Months for the car, one month was just spent at the port waiting for Renault to collect it for delivery, I decided never to buy another Renault again.
The build quality, considering I configured top of the range, is poor. The car was built in Valladolid Spain. I dont know what type of quality control they have there, but if at all, its poor.
My car should have been delivered with a Bose system - it wasnt.
Its also missing the rear passengers grab handles. The labeling or badging is missing on the door frames. When accelerating in electric mode, when I get to about 75km there is a power drop to facilitate gearing, I still cant get used to that. Furthermore the my renault app doesnt work propperly, the climate programming works in the car only, I am unable to set the time from the app.
Also now that Mitsubishi are selling the captur as their asx I would not buy from Renault as they only offer 2 years manufacturing warranty unlike Mitsubishi who offer 5.
