Just Had A Go In This

[Urban Sports]

My Brother in law picked this up last week, I wasn't sure what to expect TBH after a horrific sport Renault ownership experience a few years ago.

Looks really good in the flesh in this colour especially with the gloss black wheels, the only other one I have seen was red which looked fairly bland.

I was expecting it to be made of crépe paper and to be honest it feels typically French

The seats are good but you sit really high in it, it feels almost like you are sitting on it rather than in it.

It corners superbly, almost go cart like, it's fairly nippy but probably not as fast as I thought it would be, I'm sure this will improve with more miles on it!!

The brakes are excellent the ride is very hard, but being honest it's like that in my BMW so I personally don't notice as much as somebody else might.

It is a cup so is very minimal inside, all it seems to have is electric windows and a CD player, no aircon!!

It feels very very light which is a good thing.

Above all though it is really good fun!!

Now my wife wants one

That does look rather nice. But I see the wipers are on back to front...

Looks alright - so long as it's fun to drive it, all that matters to me.

What about engine/exhaust note?

Yep, most French cars tend to be, lazy buggers.

I'm liking the single dial in front of the steering wheel - especially the fact that they made it the rev counter.

typical renault.

OP: do you mean crépe paper?

[Flanders.]

I'm very much tempted to get one in two years when they start to become a litte bit cheaper. What sort of toys does it come with, if you don't mind me asking?

TBH it just sounds like any other small 4 pot until it revs then it makes an nice subtle rasp. Not as sporty as I would have expected though.

He got this on scrappage and pays £163 per month, can't be argued with at that price, and it a hoot to drive!
