One of the ugliest cars in its class, but cheap. BE AWARE - mine has had loadsa problems and I mean loads!

Not bad interior, comfy seats, feel cheap, plastic dash.

Security and Service
Security
Poor security. Comes with Cat2 immobiliser, no deadlocks.
Service
Although my car did break down a lot, Renault did eventually fix everything under warranty but it was loadsa messing around. I definately do not recommend this car. Go for a Japanese car becuase they are reliable.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
I have had new injectors, head gasket, distributor cap and engine mounts.
Other
I have had new heater switches and seat rails, but everything was eventually replaced under warranty. If I had no warranty then I'd have spent over £6000 in repairs. Do not buy this car imported, becuase you will lose warranty. You will need it trust me!
