1993 Renault Espace RN review from Belgium
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel alignment problems, short circuit causing complete electrical system to be replaced, poor inside material quality (carpet).
General comments?
I love this car because of it's driving properties and the Mono-volume concept. Expensive versus quality.
Good to excellent 2.1 turbo diesel engine. Poor finishing. Being a DuPont employee, I had my fellow employees refinish the car using our water-borne Cromax* quality. After 2 years this finish proved to be much superior in gloss, appearance and chip-resistance versus the original finish (supplier unknown).
The quality of the carpet and other materials inside does not meet the price of the vehicle.
Driving this car everyday is somewhat as having vacation every day, but this is a very subjective judgement.
