Bought from brand new, came with 2 years free insurrance which was a welcome bonus.

Can't believe how much I had to pay for this car. The amount of arguments I had with Renault and the Warranty people...

On the road
Driving
Nice power steering, smooth ride.
Performance
Nippy for a 1.2, but an X reg 1.2 Corsa beats it hands down.

Living with it
Reliability
I think I got a ropey car as most of them seem to be okay, but this one certianly wasn't. This car makes me never want to buy a Renault again.
Image
Not bad.
Comfort
Cloth seats, nice room in the back. No problems.

Security and Service
Security
Excellent. Factory fitted remote central locking with alarm and immobiliser all in one fitted direct into the key fob.
Service
Utterly rubbish. They took over 3 months to fix my car. When I finally picked it up it had to be jump started as it had been sitting in their forecourt for months.
