Economy
Value
Good value for money but could have done with some PAS and at least one front air bag.
Costs
Good mpg for your money and servicing cheap. Good first car for a young girl. Cheap insurance and tax.

On the road
Driving
Good drive but lacks any power overtaking on the motorway. Good around town and nippy at low speeds.
Performance
Not to good on motorways and uphill. Very sluggish uphill in fact. Top speed not too good, lucky to reach 85mph on the flat. Good around town though, nippy.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable car for me. Mine has done 102,000 miles and keeps on going. Watch out for themostats and radiator fans going. Easy to fix tho. Starts up well first time in the winter months.
Image
Still looks like a new car even now, it doesent look as old as it is and scrubs up well. Bumpers look cheap.
Comfort
Comfort is good but the cloth seats become tatty after time. Steering wheel gets very worn over time too. Nice and roomy inside for a small car, if you are tall you have head room. Boot is a good size too.

Security and Service
Security
I have not had any problems so far so that must be good. No central locking though.
Service
To expensive from the Renault Garage.
