It's a very comfortable car, but it will be a pain to even change a light bulb.

Sold the car after 3 years and more than 60.000 km.

The main reason is that engine in the car is too small and would need more power. It is a K4m, 1.6 Litres, and is barely enough to get the car running.

100 Km/h are at 3500 RPM, which makes long trips seem a little longer because the noise. Also fuel consumption was high for such a small engine.

Also, ergonomics are crazy, as there's 1 usable cupholder in the front.

It's crazy that Renault still uses as timing belt engine instead of a timing chain one.

Plastics started to squeak at around 10.000 or 15.000 km.

No major faults. Had timing kit changed at 63.000, and discovered that the water pump was already leaking.

Not actually sure if I would buy a Renault again. Probably not.
