Faults:

No significant issues, other than there is a leak somewhere, as the inside of my windscreen ices up in very cold weather, and the gears are difficult to select when first started.

General Comments:

So far, I am very pleased with it. It has been by far the best car I have owned.

This is a post-facelift model, which I think looks great. The exterior styling is enhanced with 16 inch alloy wheels, side skirts, rear spoiler and fog lights.

This car has a high level of equipment, such as a six speed gearbox, climate control, traction control and satellite navigation.

This car is very quick with its 2.2 136 bhp Renault diesel engine. A very entertaining drive.

I have been a little disappointed with the fuel economy on this car, but this may be down to being used mainly around town. This car, with its 136bhp diesel engine, is best suited to motorways and A roads.

EDIT (Jan 2022): Apologies, I realised years later that this did indeed have a Nissan engine not Renault. I sold this car in 2021 with 106,000 miles. It wasn't a cheap car to keep on the road, but the best thing about it was the performance.

Faults:

Nothing gone wrong with the car so far.

General Comments:

This is a very good car in general; good in economy, very good engine, smooth driving, easy to control, extremely reliable, comfortable, good looking inside and outside, lots of equipment, good materials, solid built, refined.

It's good that the car market doesn't give much value to this car, like all Nissans and most Japaneses cars, because prices are better and smart buyers can have a better car that's much more reliable than Golfs, Focus, Meganes, A3s. It's the truth; if you don't believe me, try one.

Could be more potent in low revs, visibility to the back is not good, car computer, audio/climate control are difficult to operate.

Faults:

Noise from the front end.

Dirty fuel intake.

Oil consumption.

General Comments:

The noise from front end comes from a thrust bearings on both shock absorbers, which needs to be replaced.

The car was working bad on minimum gas, the cause was a dirty fuel intake, which was fixed in a half and hour (cleaning + reset of the car's computer), which cost 70 euros. The car consumes a lot of oil because of the worn piston rings.

Generally, car is built very good. Really quiet while driving. Fuel consumption is amazing for a petrol engine - 5.7 l/100km during summer and 6.8 l/100km during winter (mostly on motorways). Very comfortable and not made for high speeds, since the engine is quite sleepy. Accelerations are very slow, though it can be driven 150-160km/h at really low noise and stable on the road.

Car is ideal for people who like a comfortable, reliable, quiet and economic car.

Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

This car is very nippy with good acceleration.

All round view is good.

I find it rather noisy at speed.

Fuel consumption not as good as I expected, but by using the super unleaded, I get a further 6MPG. On a run I get 40MPG.

Nice and roomy inside.

Boot space better than most small cars.

So far it has been very reliable.
