    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Younger than we look and we want to drivbe something which stands out from the run of the mill.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    Impressed with the full kit.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Of course, if it were still available new, because it doesn't look like the usual Eurobox on wheels.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Strange to say, we have ordered a Megane Coupe Cabriolet to be delivered on a 59 plate. Not pre-reg but brand new for £15995 from Renault UK. "Silly old fool", I hear you say!! Bysey bye!

    Super deal as the car was pre-reg(9 miles) with all the gizmos. Electric folding mirrors,panoramic sunroof, handsfree entry,6 channel dash mounted cd player.

    Fully specced and super looks

    What was the dealer like?

    So-so, with very inexperienced saleswoman who tried to get us to sign a Duty of Care form although we paid cash. Under new staff, the whole place has improved.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Now that "Ruby" has loosened up she is a real flyer with impressive torque for such a small engine. The steering is imprecise and she crashes over bumpy surfaces, however we have been to South West France three times and when we get out at the end of a days motoring there are no aches and pains. Supremely comfortable.

    What's it like to park?

    No problem.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Not a thing. 23000 miles so far.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Handsfree entry without doubt. To lock the car tap the button on the drivers door handle OR the Renault logo on the boot twice and not only is the car fully alarmed and immobilised but any windows or the pan roof will close as you walk away. Truly great.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The vaudio system in general.
