I bought my Renault Grand Espace as a used vehicle from a non-Renault dealer with the odometer on 140000 km. The first month was spent fixing everything not properly fitted or checked by the dealer. The only times I had problems with my car, was after services. The quality of the service delivered by the local agent is appalling. I must admit I once had a problem with the fuel pump. The high pressure outlet for the fuel broke - bad design. Apart from that, I had driven more than 60 000 km with this vehicle, and once loaded a complete x-ray generator in the rear. I drove 300km to our office with this load. I personally believe that if the technician that service your vehicle does a proper job, you will not have complaints about your Renault.

Great to drive, smooth,quite,comfortable,pretty good on fuel,
I bought this Renault Grand Espace RXE 14 months ago and even though I read a lot of reviews about this car which were not good, I still fell in love with everything about it, and still do !!
In 14 months I have only had to change a front wheel bearing and fit a water pump, which did not fail, but was picked up when I got the timing belt changed.
I tow a caravan and the Espace is just a dream when towing.

If someone said to me five years ago I would have a Renault Grand Espace RXE on the drive I would have laughed in their face. We initially bought a espace helios petrol for business purposes and that is when the love affair started with the espace. We then purchased a RXE 2.2 diesel model. The grand offers a wealth more of features. I tried other MPVs, but the espace just did it for us. Its a car that can take seven people and a picnic hamper. Its the most comfortable car I have ever driven or been driven in, I can actually fall asleep when my wife is at the wheel.
Admittedley the first service was a shocker, but we had things replaced that had not been since the car was registered.
The air con is effective too, providing the manual is followed to the tee. All the mod cons of a luxury car including a remote control for the radio/cd which gives control to the passengers as well as the driver who has the controls at finger tip on the steering column. I think that was the overall impact I got about this car is that they have thought about everybody who is sat in the car and not just the two front passengers. Also the depreciation of the new value to second hand is quite dramatic, but then they seem to hold thier price.

I love the new Renault Grand Espace RXE. I purchased the
"Renault Grand Espace 2.2 Initial Auto". It is one of the best MPV's I ever drove. Very comfortable on long journeys, and that sun roof is nice on summer days.
You really feel like you own the road when you are in a Grand Espace, Driver and Passenger!!!
Very Safe and loads of airbags airbags adds an extra safety point to the new espace.
BUY ONE!!!
