Love
- Looks

- Overall solid fell of the chassis

Hate
- Cold Starts
- Rattles
- Lack of staright line grunt
- Rattles
thx for coming back

yeah have to say I agree

if I had the car where I grew up on roads I know id prob really love it

but I only have mountain roads here with no speed cameras

and I don't know the roads and any mistake would be death

plus like u said grunt it lacks the pull when going up hill or in a straight line

all about carrying that speed round a corner/track

driving mine from Geneva to nice after work today

big test as a all rounder

checked coolant and is full

but is orange water not green

green is the correct Renault coolant right ?

and mine does about 28mpg ...rarely driven hard

I regularly drive mine across France - 700 mls in a day is a breeze on the autoroutes, with a couple of stops for coffee and fuel. Cruise set to 140 kph and 28-30 mpg.
yup got that mpg as well bang on over 1200km

your not gonna like this but I was really craving a tdi golf or something

is yours a cup

mine just feels quite brutal and the steering is break neck sensitive

but I did like the feeling of it cornering flat on those windy fast auto routes

mines for sale if you know of anyone who's interested

its on auto scout now @ 11k chf ;-)
