  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Very nice car for the money. Shame about reliability.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Longer intervals between services and AA is very much needed with a Renault.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Bit bumpy. Could handle better.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quite nippy, but more of a car for cruising than speed.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    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.

    Quite comfortable. Seats nice and supportive. Like the lumbar support.

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Brilliant, except when the alarm switch is corroded by rain and wont turn off.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    They only provided a service becuase I made a pain of myself and got the local MP involved.
