Good Points: Performance, ride quality, noise levels, visibility, removable seats, opening sun roof, electronic handbrake / launch control, comprehensive tool kit for changing wheels etc.
Bad Points: Expensive to buy, fuel consumption, positioning of cruise control / speed limiter rocker switch, iPod integration with (expensive) sound sytem is pathetic.
General comments: Have owned 2 Espaces (1 old style, 1 v.old style), 2 x Sharans (petrol autos) & 1 x old style Galaxy diesel auto).
Best car to date by a long way - wafts along in regal comfort and, although diesel auto, very responsive and bags of power from the FAP diesel engine (175PS from a 2.0l diesel?!); press the accelerator and hang on. Cat3 emmissions. The penalty is a fuel consumption of (to date) 35mpg over 3,500 miles - compares with 40.5mpg over 124,000 for diesel auto Galaxy.
Lots of toys and the panoramic glass sunroof is vast - when open, it's like driving a convertable (there is a solid blind if it gets too sunny). Excellent driving position, very comfortable seats (back & front). Flat load area with seats out.
Opinion: DO NOT buy the new Galaxy / S-Max = Seats don't come out and no spare wheel (can of foam which renders your tyre irreparable I believe. Also, not good if you're 150 miles from home at 7pm either!)

My Renault Espace Dynamique 2.0 Turbo 170 Auto has good leg room for children in back and also boot space, but there is a major design fault (it leaks), poor material. It also costs a lot to run and not enough power - very slow up hills. If you are going to buy this car, get it in the highest spec!
