On the road
Driving
Light and easy-to-use controls. Visibility not that good.
Performance
Gearbox is dreadful. Does not know how to change gear properly and when it does it's jerky and nauseating, especially in S mode. Don't buy French autos, buy Japanese.

Engine quite good, but gearbox failed after 35,000 miles.

This is the only thing the French can get right. Very good.

Good.
Service
Ok when I bought the car, but terrible aftersales service. I use an independent Renault specialist who is superb.
