2004 Renault Espace Base

Summary:

Excellent

Faults:

The Radio Reception especially around the city center is extremely bad, if under tall building.

General Comments:

Poor Radio Reception

Very Comfortable seats, if you're inside all day.

I'm a taxi driver, I average about 150 kilometers a day.

Handles with ease for a large MPV.

The cabin is very bright with all the windows.

The exterior paint is like a navy blue.

1998 Renault Espace RXT 2.2dT 2.2-liter turbo diesel

Summary:

Good deal, but service has to improve on

Faults:

A leak at the top of the fuel tank made the car difficult to start (air bubbles in the pipes). But it was fixed for free by Renault.

I am also experiencing several minor (but annoying) electrical problems : the seat belts warning light does not work, the radio sometimes goes off for a couple of seconds on bad roads, the lighting of some switches does not work,... But all this was reported by Renault as "too expensive to fix"!!!

General Comments:

Great car! The family (and the dog) love it. Comfortable, easy to drive, even in town, even with 7 on board, lots of torque,...

I just regret it is a bit noisy on motorways, say over 130 kph / 80 mph.

I sold my previous ESPACE 2000TSE with 241,000 km / 150,000 miles on the clock and intend to do the same with this one :o)
