"A lot of car for not a lot of dosh"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only problem so far are some minor paint runs on one of the passenger doors.

General comments?

You get a lot for your money from this car. I got a special import deal so got mine for just over £11,000.

Its top of the range with climate control two CD players (A single and a 6 CD autochanger) part leather interior hands free remote key card entry, folding door mirrors, automatic light, automatic winscreen wippers and this list goes on.

Would have like cruise control, but that was an extra. So far I've only just run it in, but it's performance is starting to pick up to something quite good for a 1.6.

Its very smooth and incredibly quiet on the motorway at speed. The boot is huge and I think it is a most unsual, but great looking saloon. Room inside is excellent.

Have only got a couple of complains - the windscreen wippers go made for now reason at times. Also once the auto lights come on and stayed on at 7pm on a sunny evening. I think the light sensor may have been dirty.

In summarry it' a great car for the money so far. Just hope things start to go wrong as time goes on.

Just a reminder to any customers who have AUTOMATIC WIPERS on their car. A sensor is mounted just behind the windscreen and is an eye to the outside.

If it rains, the eye 'sees' this and according to the amount of water and speed of the vehicle, adjusts the speed of the wipers accordingly. Now, if any oil or deposits are over this 'eye' or your wipers are dirty (more often than not because nobody cleans their wipers) the 'eye' will be confused to the condition of the windscreen.

It is essential that you both keep the wipers and the screen scrupulously clean for trouble free operation.

I have these wipers on my Renault Megane and the work perfectly. Try it, it does work.

I´ve had the saloon, 2006, for over a year, 29800 km now, and have no problems. Well, it was some problem to replace the left front head bulb, but it worked out after a hour or so, and now I know how to do next time! I´m very satisfied with the car, nice, smooth and it have a sense of high quality. My model have all the equipment you can get and everything works perfectly. Very much car for the money.
