Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Just want to say all these people with faults most of them are silly and just wear and tear. With the Renault engine you have to expect few problems due to them getting the power out the engine, that's the reason why they're so fun to drive.

A lot of you are taking your car to garages for silly things like spark plugs and stuff like that.

Expect to pay silly prices or get a brain and learn to do it your self It's common sense, go to your local gsf or Halfords or Partco or go to Renault get the parts and fit them yourself you will notice it's so cheap for parts. All that money you wasted.

Faults:

Well an exhaust gasket failed (covered under warranty)

Had an intermittent misfire, so took it to the dealer. They fixed it under warranty. All it was is that someone put the wrong spark-plugs in when the car was built.

General Comments:

This has been a great car. I have only had it for 12 months, and have done almost 25000 miles in it. All I have done apart from the above mentioned and a service, is a set of tires, and this car has never let me down.

I do a lot of motorway mileage as you could probably guess from 12 months mileage. I thought that the car would feel a little out of its depth here, but it was as happy at motorway speeds as it was pottering around town.

The dash is well laid out for the driver. A little basic looking, but it does the job. The sports seats are great and very supportive.

This car has been great on fuel, as my average has been hanging around between 46-56mpg, depending how I’m driving, but either is good to your pocket.

As for the handling, mine was upgraded with the sports pack from new, so it had lower harder springs and shocks than standard, and these did the job intended for them. They firmed up the ride a little, but not too much. The only thing to complain about really was the amount of body roll. I did however get used to this, and it's not that bad.

Good strong engine. It pulls happily with the car full, though you can tell. I put a K&N 57i kit on mine, which livened it up an amount considering that this was all I had done.

Great colour, Nordic Green, which to be honest isn’t really green, it changes colour between blue, black and purple with a tinge of green when the sun is on it, but it is the best colour for the car, as the shape of the car brings out the changes (very impressed).

The boot has good space. There is plenty of room up front, but space is limited for passengers in the back for the longer journeys. This was not a problem for me though, as I am either on my own or just with one passenger.

That is about it really. A nice car, cheap to run and insure, very reliable and comfortable.

The biggest let down is the resale values. They lose a dramatic amount of money in the first 3 years, but hold well after that. 3 years warranty and AA recovery with the car is great too.

These are much better than Corsa SXI's, as they come with all the extras and better interior, auto headlights and rain sensor wipers. The doors can automatic lock when you set off to make a hijacker's job more difficult, it and makes you feel a little safer when driving around at night.
