Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not a lot really.Guess it says I didnt want to buy a Fiesta.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Really like it. Looks smart in Oyster Grey. Love the Media Screen.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Doubt it. Nothing wrong with the car, but Im not brand loyal and chop and change. Renault Delivery is Horrific. Not Dealers fault, but they cant get the cars from the dock to the dealers!
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure, Will keep this 3 years and there are some interesting cars coming up so will have to wait and see!

Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
April 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?
Paid RRP, but got Superguard and GAP insurance thrown in for free, so not too bad.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Was looking to downsize from a Mercedes but not give up a few of the toys.
What was the dealer like?
Intially wasnt that interested in selling but to be honest that worked for me. Much more personalised service once the deposit was paid. Word of Warning..... Renault UK Delivery Process.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The 0.9 Tce engine seems to get slated in the prss for not having enough grunt, but its isnt too bad at all, Nice 'thrum' to the engine. Suspension is a bit soft but soaks up the bumps well. Seats are more comfy than my 2009 Mercedes C Class.
What's it like to park?
Rear view is terrible, wish I had gone for parking sensors or the camera.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Only had it a coouple of weeks but so far so good!. Had DAB fitted, which is a bit of a faff to use.
What's most practical about your car?
Hidden 5 doors. Looks like a 3 door. Deceptively large car, somewhere between a Fiesta and a Focus.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Media system is great! USB stick with all your music, and can stream Spotify via bluetooth which is excellent! Sat Nav is very clear to use on motorways.
