yes John raf's recommendation

Good Points

Motorways get 63 MPG at 60PMH my personal experience of many runs
Nice ride, comfortable seating position.
Not noisy as suggested by some reports see governments dB test figures, they are good.
Masses of room to carry passengers or furniture etc:
18,000 mile service interval.
Very nippy and super quiet engine. Direct injection common rail high tech engine/management system.
Can't praise it enough, great vehicle, I love it!

Bad Points

Restarting after a shortish stop on hot summer days, can require a number of attempts. But it always starts.

General Comments

Motorways get 63 MPG at 60PMH from the Renault Kangoo.
My personal experience of many runs;
Nice ride, comfortable seating position.
Not noisy as suggested by some reports see governments dB test figures, they are good.
Masses of room to carry passengers or furniture etc:
18,000 mile service interval.
Very nippy and super quiet engine which has a low pressure Turbo fitted. Direct injection common rail high tech engine/management system.
Can't praise it enough, great vehicle, I love it!
Restarting after a shortish stop on hot summer days, can require a varied number of attempts. But it always starts.

Would buy it again!

Renault are looking at the problem. Local Renault garage excellent!

*******Update from John*******

This model does have a low pressure turbo fitted, but it is not listed on the spec.

Renault sorted the warm start problem, they get full marks for helpfulness.

    The bad point I mentioned regards starting was corrected by Renault under guarantee. Now that is perfect, and the Renault garage at Telford were excellent to me and my humble steed. Full marks to them also. I have no connection with them or Renault, this is just praise where it due!

    I have had this MPV now for three years and 70,000 miles. It has had its major service in march 2007 and still runs very well, looks like new and goes like new, never essentially let me down. I am still delighted.

    I notice the Kangoo MPV is listed under people carriers, when people carriers should be under an MPV's as a list! (Multi purpose Vehicle), because some MPV,s don't or are not always equipped as people carriers, whereas an MPV describes all and includes people carriers.
