£3,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yeah i got more money p/x for my old car than i paid for it and that was after i did 12k miles. I got this car at like trade price, and it had a full service, and it even had half a tank of petrol.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Full leather interior, 1.6 16V engine, 110BHP and 0-60 in 9secs. Insurance grp 7. Enough said. :-)

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was a really nice, genuine guy. No rubbish about anything, just really to the point.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent to Drive! Fast, fun, excellent handling and sounds good. If accelerating from low revs, you can hear the air getting sucked in. Sounds cool.

What's it like to park?

Easy, because the end of the rear spoiler is at the edge of the car. So if you can see then end of that, then you have no problems knowing how far back you can go.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Leaking coolent from the water tank, but this is apparently a 'common' problem. Easily sorted by buying a new water cap from Renault. Back left window sometimes sticks, but this is very rare and fixes its self after 2 mins.

What's most practical about your car?

Cheap insurance and decent running costs. Can do around 40mpg if driven normally. Although I have had 26mpg, and 60 mpg

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather seats. Look nice, and make such a difference to the cars appearance. Looks more expensive than it actually is.
