2000 Renault Espace RXDT 2.2 turbo diesel

Summary:

A total and utter disaster

Faults:

Master cylinder went after 4 weeks of ownership. Both rear wheel bearings needed replacing at the same time. Tyre wear is unbelievable. Had to replace all four tyres for the first mot. Serious water leak ruined carpets and under seat stereo. Central locking failed. Imobiliser failed. Steering failed. Near side suspension spring snapped.

General Comments:

This car is seriously sluggish. No power from the turbo and not as economical as it should be. The staff I spoke to at the main dealers were very unhelpful.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

2000 Renault Espace RT/X 2.0 petrol

Summary:

Still by far the best MPV

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

The fourth generation of the world's favourite MPV. Renault provide a mixture of comfort, performance and reliability. Drive it hard and you will go very quickly. Drive it soft and you can hold a conversation with the guy in the rear set of seats. Bags of storage and fabulous in-car features.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
