1999 Renault Espace review from Belgium
"Expensive fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
High consumption (13 L / 100 km)
Gear synchronisation broke at 140000 km (high cost)
Have been told that cardan has to be replaced (high costs!)
1st gear NEVER worked properly (car stalls when not starting very carefully) (PS: Yes, with other cars I managed not to stall :-) )
General comments?
Easy to drive car, which is fun to drive.
We used it often as a camper, as the back is big and great and flat, perfect to sleep in with 2 persons (if not giants, quod non).
Great when driving quickly: overtaking with 120 km / h. is easy!
