Faults:

General poor quality control at both Renault and dealer as car was received with minor paint defects, scuff marks on interior trim.

The front offside wheel trim was extensively damage and showed evidence of having been driven off a ramp with the retaining clasp attached.

The diagnostic light came on when the car was just 7 weeks old and the car had to be returned to the garage on 4 separate ocassions before if was finally repaired. It spent a total of 3 weeks off the road.

General Comments:

Now the car is running as it should it is astonishingly quick although the handling is a bit twitchy. The engine's power delivery is throughout the rev range and just doesn't let up. There are faster cars, but why?

The car is very smooth and quiet on the motorway; more a GT than a hot hatch. It is exactly the sort of car I thought it was when decided to buy it.

The interior is fantastic and a very enjoyable place to spend time.

Faults:

I bought the car on April 19th, on May 1st roof stuck for first time. This happened at midnight with rain threatened. AA fixed it by closing it manually, but it went wrong again on May 18th. That was the last time I saw it until July 19th. Renault put a technical block on the part until it had been tested.

Once the new parcel shelf had been delivered, they discovered a stretched cable, which again had a technical block on it. All parts finally arrived and installed two months after taking car to local Renault dealer.

Other than this fault the car is brilliant and I love it! However what is the point of a convertible that I am now extremely nervous of converting!

General Comments:

This one is the Sport specification level, which in Ireland, includes the 16" Alloys normally fitted on the Dynamic specification.

I traded up from a 2002 Kangoo, and there's simply no comparison, the quietness, performance, comfort & safety are worlds apart.

The road holding is simply rock solid, with a very comfortable ride, Irish roads to tend to test both of these aspects to the limit...

Economy is good an average of 44mpg to date.

Boot size is very good and takes all shapes and sizes. For our family this involves Double Buggies and all the associated items children bring with them!

I like the Child Lock Button on the Drivers Door arm rest, this child locks the back passenger doors & disables the rear electric windows to prevent any mishaps involving same (I believe the electric windows have an anti-pinch feature anyway, but better safe than sorry).

The leg room in the back is very good, considering I'm 6' tall and have the drivers seat almost all the way back, still plenty of room for an adult to seat comfortably behind.

Overall a fine car which I would have no problem in recommending to anyone.
