Summary
What does this car say about you?
I was a fool to trust Renault.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Shocked at how bad it is.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Never, ever, ever, if you see me near a Renault dealer please shoot me.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably a V8 as it would cost the same to run as the little 1.2 turbo engine in this thing.

Buying experience

Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes

£16,800
When did you buy the car?
March 2015

It was an OK deal.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
It was 5 door, automatic, looked good and was meant to return good MPG (Renault lied about the last one).

Helpful while taking the money, very poor when issues started.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
In stop start traffic the EDC gearbox starts to burn, which isn't nice.
What's it like to park?
Hard to judge the front end as it drops away and A pillar gives large blind spot.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
From day 1 the MPG was terrible. After 5 weeks in the garage its no better and I'm now being forced to reject the car under Sales of Goods Act 1979.
What's most practical about your car?
Space inside is good. But practically running it is terrible.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Glass roof. However we had a red recall done on this within first 2 months of owning it.
