1998 Renault Espace RXE TD review from UK and Ireland
"Poor quality for a top of the range model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty oil warning several times - see comments.
Front doors out of alignment.
Leaking sun roof.
General comments?
Oil warning light kept appearing from the first 1000 miles. Renault as of today, some 2 years later, have still not got it sorted. They have however given me a 3 year extended warranty for my inconveniance
This is my second Espace for which I paid over 26,000 pounds, I don't think I shall have another!
The car is not what I would expect for a top of the range model.
