Renault Vel Satis (02-04) rivals
Overview
The British have never been fans of big, French executive models. Whether Vel Satis changes that is another story. MPV-like looks aren’t to everyone’s tastes, and there’s not quite as much room as you’d expect inside. The interior seems designed for middle class French ladies transporting their poodles to the parlour. Almost camp and quite funny to be in, but spec is good and it seems very safe.
