Economy
Value
Very nice car for the money. Shame about reliability.
Costs
Longer intervals between services and AA is very much needed with a Renault.

On the road
Driving
Bit bumpy. Could handle better.
Performance
Quite nippy, but more of a car for cruising than speed.

Living with it
Reliability
VERY unreliable. Within 6 months it has been back to garage 12 times. In the first 3 months, the garage had it more than I did.
Image
Very nice to look at, especially in yellow.
Comfort
Quite comfortable. Seats nice and supportive. Like the lumbar support.

Security and Service
Security
Brilliant, except when the alarm switch is corroded by rain and wont turn off.
Service
They only provided a service becuase I made a pain of myself and got the local MP involved.
