2000 Renault Kangoo Kar review from UK and Ireland
"I thought this car was brilliant until last week"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket blew, dripping oil onto the catalytic converter - interest smoke from under the bonnet. AA says there is a serious danger this car will catch fire if driven.
The dealer thinks Renault should do the work for free. Renault think I should pay over 300 euro.
General comments?
The Kangoo is a cheap, willing workhorse.
Good fuel consumption.
Carry anything - including large numbers of seriously large teenagers and their band gear.
Seats are really comfortable.
Its really safe if someone drives out of a side road into you.
But Renault don't give a damn about their customers. I'm going back to my Opel distributor next time even if I have to compromise on the sort of car I buy. Pity because I thought the Kangoo was the perfect vehicle for our lifestyle.
