Summary
What does this car say about you?
That you needed a diesel hatchback with some seats in it. It's just a Renault for God's sake......
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It's quite funky for a little hatchback. My Dad said it's not as noisy or chuggy as he thought a small French diesel would be.......
Would you buy this car again and why?
No - but only because I like to change cars. My main quibble, however, is that the boot is an awkward shape because of the bum styling.
What are you likely to buy next?
I now have a Ford S-Max.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very economical and quite good fun to drive for a diesel. 120bhp is quite a lot in a light little hatchback.

Couldn't be much easier. But that bum does stick out a bit.....

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
A couple of little niggles but on the whole, pretty reliable.
What's most practical about your car?
120 bhp diesel is frugal but powerful enough when you need it.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Key card entry and start button is something I never got bored with. Panoramic roof is a nice to have too.
