Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A little disappointed, the car pulls well right round to 8,000 rpm however from 5,000 rpm it sounds like it's going to explode into a million bits, on the motorway is the same problem 70 - 80 mph and you are always looking for a 7th gear, bit of a harsh ride, but you don't buy a hot hatch for comfort! On the positive the handling to awesome, I may even say better than a Evo! If it doesn't break.
What's it like to park?
Very easy it's a small car so you can't go wrong there.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes avoid this car, Day 1 sticky brakes, all pads and calipers needed replacing. 2 weeks in, couldn't engage 1st or 2nd resulting in the gearbox cables needed replacing. 3 weeks in, Shuddering clutch? If you need to replace a bulb on this thing it has to go to Renault, just unheard of, build quality is rubbish, just feels cheap and nasty.
What's most practical about your car?
Good luggage space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Keyless entry.
