Nice, but has problems
I rented a Kangoo several times from EasyRentACar in London. I enjoyed the car quite a bit and found it pretty comfortable. Sadly Easy-Car decided to discontinue offering the car. I asked two different people working there why they were dropping the car. They both responded that the Kangoo's were maintenance nightmares. They cited belt problems and said "things fall off a lot." I wish it weren't true as I really liked driving it and found the size useful.

A practical alternative to a more expensive traditional people carrier
Rattles from around the dashboard from new. Rectified by main dealer under warranty.
A great practical car.
Which has large carrying capacity.
Benefits from Nissan sourced four wheel drive system.
Excellent common rail turbo diesel engine.

Plenty of Space, well laid out, comfortable, would buy again
Setting 1 for Heater stopped working, Dealer replaced overnight under warranty.
Brake Lights only coming on when brake pedal fully depressed. Dealer fixed under Warranty.
Lot's of room & storage, this version came with the overhead lockers at the back which are of a size that they can actually store things in, as against some pokey storage options on offer around.
The previous model was a 1.4 so when presented with the a shiny 1.2 16v there was a concern of having just bought a seriously under powered car. This has proved to be untrue to date, bearing in mind when you by a car of this type you know its not a Ferrari anyway.
Disappointed Dealer not interested at all in suppling Anti Lock Brakes. Renault pride themselves on safety, but it is sadly lacking on this model i.e. No Anti Lock Brakes, even the entry level Clio has Anti Lock Brakes, hopefully this will be rectified on the new model if & when it arrives.

Re the heater control failure. We had the same thing when we bought our 2001Y Kangoo. Either the heater was on full blast or not at all. The solution is to replace the resistor pack which is located on the passenger side behind the bulkhead. It's a bit of a fiddle as to access it one has to remove both windscreen wiper blades followed by the panel beneath them.

I own a Kangoo for the last two years and had a lot of problems with it which have led me to take the decision to sell it.
The first problems were with the seat belts. They did not lock after a few months. The next problems were the electric windows, they stopped working on both sides (not at the same time).Then the back door did not lock. Then the engine went dead all of a sudden and this has happened three times in the last 4 months!
Even though I love it's design and the motor was quite good when it ran well, all these problems were a real disappointment and pain as the second time the engine left me I was stranded up the mountain and if I hadn't my mobile with me, I would still be there...
