2000 Renault Espace review from Hong Kong
"Generally a good family people carrier"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Right mirror dropped out on the 2nd day of service and was replaced by the local agent immediately when reported.
Air-con value (not sure exactly what's the parts named) failed on deliver and replaced by local agent on 1st service at 1000 km.
A light bulb in shift column panel burned after 8000 km. Replaced by local agent at my cost.
Digits on speedometer did not illuminate after 9000 km.
General comments?
Good family MPV, but under-power for a 2.0 petrol engine when driving up-hill.
Comfortable inside for front and rear seats.
Electrical faults are a common problem for Renault.
