    Nice looking little motor especially in black, not quite so keen on the grill at the front in other colours though.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Can get four adults comfortably, 5 a bit more of a squash. Very comfortable on long journeys, especially in the front.

    Renault did fix the car when the coil pack broke, but had no courtesy cars to give me so had to rely on AA for 24hr car. After some complaining, Renault did fix the car the same day.
