"Good looking car, but very unreliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Car stalled in wet weather regularly if it had to drive through the shallowest of puddles and was never fixed despite several visits to the dealer.

Starter motor problems, poor connection, had to bring the car to the dealer several times before problem was solved.

Poor gear change, extremely sticky in 1st and 3rd.

General comments?

This car is extremely slow, particularly in 1st and 2nd gears. It takes long time gain any speed with the car.

The car is unsafe for overtaking.

The stereo quality was excellent.

This car is extremely comfortable.

The car handled very poorly when cornering.

Dealership service quality was good, always courteous and helpful despite problems.

I have a Renault megane RN of the same year and as yet haven't had any problems it corners well and starts first time in all weather conditions, its very comfortable and nice to drive. I will agree however that it can be quite sluggish, but after you have been driving a tank for a few years it's a not a high priority plus you save money using less petrol anyway.
