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

    £12k brand new import. There is NOTHING that can touch this little car for value.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Car has been in the garage almost one week out of every month I have owned the car. Master brake cylinder/engine mounts/gearbox mounts/brake servo/suspension top mounts/exhaust... Shall I go on?

    I got a better CAT1 alarm fitted.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Renault service is the WORST I have come across. I get treated with more repect and customer care in McDonalds.
