Good Points
Smooth ride, gearchange and great MPG
Bad Points
Front brakes feel 'wooden', they need some decent pads!
General Comments
The car is fantastic. I always buy Diesels and prefer ones with Renault engines. The car is very economical, 42+mpg at 80+MPH, around town it drops to 37. If I 'nurse' it and drive around 55 to 60 mph the fuel consumption goes up to 51MPG. The car is as comfortable when I throw it around on the country roads as it is on the motorway - if only it had more power or I could afford a superchip..........
