Renault Kangoo (1999 - 2008) 1.6 16V Trekka 4x4 5d (01) Owner Review

Surprising refined, beautiful engine. Fuels perfectly at extremely low revs. The driving experience is executive car elegant, only the noise of the boxy shape diminishes the experience - which is a lot worse with the rear seats removed. The hinges for these protrude hugely, sometimes I remove them (2 bolts each) Quiet short (4m) so fits behind other cars in my driveway. Roof is as high as my Terrano (which has Land Rover tyres making it 35mm more) but load bay much lower. Can take wheelie bins upright. However too short for a bicycle without turning the front wheel. I have removed the rear driveshaft as the bearings are squeaking. Will get done sometime. Sliding doors very handy, and the overhead shelf. Great visibility with low dash and a lot of glass. Seats nicely coloured and good quality materials. No home should be without one, at least as a 2nd car. At low speeds towing a trailer, I got 40 mpg. Last run 35 mpg, keeping to 60 mph on motorway (which I do with all unaerodynamic vehicles). 20 mph/1000 rpm is far too low.
