Economy
Value
O.K paid £7000 - after two years part-ex offered £3800 sold privately for £4250
Costs
Reasonably good keep away from main dealers. I had a major service (using uni-part parts) and a middle and rear exhaust fitted for £220 all inclusive at local Chemex garage. Main dealer wanted £340 just for the service.

On the road
Driving
Car like, comfortable, some body roll, but not as bad as Citroen Picasso
Performance
1.6 16v pulls really well, but has to be worked to 4500rpm in second and third. (My car is always full though - three children). Brakes are a little poor

Living with it
Reliability
Reanult make things complicated with loads of gadgets to go wrong. My car has been pretty good - they suffer from engine to gearbox mount failure and leaky sunroofs.

Still looks good after 6 years - sport model has nice alloys
Comfort
Excellent - like a moving armchair!
