General Comments:

I still love driving in the cold night despite this. It loves corners and sometimes over steers when being reckless. It really has a charm that makes this car stand out; even the roof hood isn't entirely flat.

Faults:

ABS system failure after brakes being replaced at a cost of £300.

3 engine coils failed at separate intervals at a cost of £50 each.

Electric window motor failed at a cost of £60 to replace.

General Comments:

A nice handling car with comfortable seats and a good driving position.

Most controls in a good position except for the hazard warning switch; every time I needed to use it, I had to take my eyes off the road to locate it!

Not much leg or head room in the back, but the seats are comfortable.

Fair sized boot for a coupe, and the seats fold down for larger items.

The engine is under powered, and struggled with a full load, but returned 34MPG even though constantly used at high revs to get power out of it.

General Comments:

The car is comfortable and there's' loads of space for the people sat in the front but there is no leg or head room in the back, and it has all the con's like fog lights, air con, half leather, electric windows front ant back, 6 disk CD changer, with all the controls for the CD player on the steering wheel.

Reliability isn't too bad only thing which as gone wrong is the coil pack went after 20.000 miles, but it's a common fault with renault's, and the paint work chip's and dent's really easy apart from that it's been great.

Performance is really rubbish for a 1.6 16v engine you read on site's 0-60 is about 9.3 seconds it's not true it's a lot slower, the revs go up so slow and in gear acceleration is rubbish my old 1.4 16v fiesta zetec had a more willing engine.

Faults:

No major issues until lately.

Back in January it needed a new windscreen wiper motor, and now this week it needed a new cat due to a mis-fire. Located the mis-fire, and it was due to pencil coils, purchased those off ebay at a huge saving compared to Renault. The problem was still there, but not as bad, so changed all sparks and now OK. Currently at 70k, and I love my car.

General Comments:

Bought the car 2 and a half years ago; nice looking, does what I want when driving, good to great sound and performance, looks good, mpg good, general wear and tear good.

The 6 CD changer is good as I'm always changing my music tastes.

The seats are very comfy!!!

Cat costs £220 fitted.

Bearings cost £25 per wheel

Coils from Renault £45 each (you need 4 to change them all).

General service £99 incl plugs/filters.

Faults:

No problems at all.

General Comments:

Good reliable car.

Not comfortable enough for long trips.

Could be less noisy.

Perfect fuel economy. It runs on average 5 l/100 km all 240.000 km I own this car.

Faults:

The starter went bad at around 50000 kilometres and car had to be towed.

Tires have wore out quickly in the period of time I've had it.

Windshield Wiper blades wear out quickly.

The car has had to be towed in several to where the dealer could'nt explain. This has been lots of trouble because this usually happens when I'm going to work. It seems like I have spent more time in rental cars than this car.

General Comments:

All of the occurrences of the car not starting happened in the morning at work. I believe I have spent more time in rental cars than in this one. The Audi A3 I had before I had this car was much better quality.
