Driving it
What's it like to drive?
power good across the range. Motorways and town cycle. most of my driving is done with a boot full of tools, tunking in the car, and a 6m triple on the roof, so can be a little sluggish at times!
What's it like to park?
no problem at all. Sensor is excellent, visibility is fine. Can't hear the sensor with the radio on!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
within the first 2 months had a problem with one of the tyre sensors. Car was within warranty, and the dealer (a peugeot dealer!) took it in and sent it to local Renault dealer on my behalf (saved me the hassle!). That was 2 years and 35,000 miles ago. Have not had even the whiff of a problem since!
What's most practical about your car?
like the luggage space - takes a bundle (25) of self adhesive trunking (I'm a "sparky") within the car - 3m length without interfering with the drive. Boot space is also good.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
like the keyless ignition - no keys jangling about your knees as you're driving - still love pressing the button to start the car! Computer givng info - MPG, distance left in tank, distance since last service/to next tec, very useful
