Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
With all the extras, mine cost me a little over £10k. Starting to feel I could have got a little more for my money though. Good basic features though.
Costs
Haven't had it serviced yet. Been back to Renault Birmingham many times, but luckily ALL faults covered under warranty.

On the road
Driving
Good acceleration and stops well. Not fantastic at high speeds.
Performance
Very nippy when unloaded. Stick 3 in the back and you'll notice the difference a lot.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts every time, although I've had many electrical problems. Not major, all fixed to date.
Image
Spoiler, 15" alloys, what more could you ask for? Car looks nippy and certainly lives up to that vision.
Comfort
6' 3", seat right back and down, still feel like I'm on top of the wheel. Never seem to be able to relax my legs, too cramped up. Barely room for 3 kids in the back, let alone adults.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser and remote central locking, but no alarm. Visible flashing LEDs on dash can be a deterrent.
Service
When taken back for many faults covered under warranty, never offered a courtesy car and got the impression my car means nothing to them any more 'cause they've got what they wanted, the £10k I paid for it.
