Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The car begs to be driven quickly. Lots of power for such a small car. Brilliant on back roads, not so great on motorways as the engine noise drives you crazy after a while. Firm ride in town, but that's the price you pay for the handling. Shocks other drivers when they can't eep up with a little clio.
What's it like to park?
Very easy to park. Only probelm is having to keep getting dents pushed out from people bashing my doors with their car doors.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
5 days after the warranty ended the motor for the climate control died. Excellent news in December. Howerver Renault has agreed to pay 80% of the repair bill. The front undertray split and it took ages to get the right part from Renault to repair it.
