Living with it
Reliability
A few niggling problems, but sorted at the garage quickly.
Image
I've made a slight change to the tinted windows - I've made them darker. The car looks awesome, clean lines with a mean image. Gives a nice sporty appearance.
Comfort
Surprisingly comfortable. The lumbar support holds you nicely and is a pleasure to drive for long distances as well as short runs. The controls are well arranged and all easy to use.

Security and Service
Security
Thatcham 1 alarm. No more needs to be said - reduces insurance premiums. Remote central locking as well.
Service
I've used two Renault garages. One was absolutey superb, the other just annoying and not helpful. I can only hope they are all superb.
