Value
Very good value for money, the features within the car for its price outmatch competitors.

Cost £120 for new front disks and pads as they are also used on Lagunas and Scenics. Catalytic converter expensive.

Comfortable, although a little compacted with passengers.

Sharp acceleration for a small engine but again outperforms competitors.

I did over forty thousand miles in this car and it never let me down!

Bit dated now but there are uglier cars!
Comfort
Maybe a little too comfortable... have nodded off before on long distance.

Security
Factory fit immobiliser but no alarm. Key fobs often need batteries removing and replacing. Still has key access to both passenger door and drivers door. Not really needed.

Never used dealer for servicing... Bought second hand and hadn't been Renault Dealership serviced.
