  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    A little spongy on the twisty bits, and don't even consider towing a caravan with it unless you are a professional stuntman!

    It's an MPV for goodness sake!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Tick over like a Massey Ferguson, despite many futile waits at various main dealers

    Maybe not as stylish as the new model, but still looks reasonable, even so, I can't wait to be rid of it

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great for driver, but forget any rear seat giants, the legroom is barely adequate

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Overall good

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I have spent many fruitless hours waiting for the Renault boffins to fix the tickover problem, and have been repeatedly fobbed off with the timeless classic of ' Well sir, they all do that'
