Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Oh, just a few things... The alarm kept going of everytime I opened the door this took 3 dealers 9 months to sort after they replaced most of the computers. The traction control computer, had a tantrum and had to be replaced. The split tail gate no longer works as one of the gas struts has ripped out from the body of the boot. The bill to repair this is £1400. This is an ongoing argument between Renault and the lease company. My opinion is poor build quality. Its had quite a few other electrical hiccups over the last 2 years with the various computers like refusing to allow the engine to go over 1500 rpm, cruise control not working, heater fan not working etc. Most of these were resolved by treating the car like a computer and switching it off and starting it again!
What's most practical about your car?
Excellent tow vehicle.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Keyless entry (until it goes wrong and it will someday)and autobox.
