    My car

    I have owned this car for 3 months and 3000 miles and so far, all good. I loved the looks from first sight and when I found I could get one for similar monthly payments to a Clio there was no contest. Went for the Cayenne Orange and don't regret it - it looks great in that colour. On the road it's quiet, refined, comfortable, great 6-speed box. Performance is nothing to write home about to be honest, but economy is very good - 40mpg on motorway easily achievable. Cabin quality very good and I like the dash layout - the digital speedo looks strange initially but it's clear and simple. Stereo system is great and the i-pod connection / bluetooth just add to the ease of use. Downsides - apart from the average performance, the rear view is rubbish - thank god for the standard fit (on this model) rear parking sensors. And the ride is a bit on the hard side (not unexpected for a "sporty" car with 55-profile tyres). Looking forward to many more months and miles with it - yeah, maybe the diesel would have been a more sensible choice but the higher purchase price would have taken a long time to recoup. Oh - and my teenage kids think it's cool.....

    My car

    Although I yet to own this car, having had a test drive, I am having to wonder how tall the guys are that test these cars are? I am 6'1 and a half and I managed to sit bolt up with an inch of head room left, my legs never felt cramped, and the comfort was fantastic! Styling on the interior is a little bland, but to be honest this isn't highly important. The exterior is really impressive, some parts look a little cheap, but it really is a good sign that renault is at last taking styling serious. Whilst the engine sizes may not be overly powerful, they are plenty good enough for the legal limit, plus low emissions on the expressions dci version makes ownership very reasonable! Anyone looking for an entry level coupe this is your car.
