"The worst owning experience ever!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The speed regulator for the rear wash wipe failed.

A completely new exhaust system needed fitting after only 18 months.

Second gear is sometimes extremely 'reluctant' to engage.

The oxygen sensor failed causing the car to stall repeatedly and run erratically.

The speedo and rev counter failed on the dashboard requiring a new speed regulator chip in the engine management system.

The injection management system failed requiring a new computer module to be fitted (very expensive).

General comments?

The aesthetics of the car are very nice with a good cabin layout.

You seem to get extra features for your money with Renault such as column mounted radio controls, speed sensitive wipers and electric everything. This is all let down however by the very poor build quality and parts used.
