    My car

    This is an update from my previous review. I have now owned the car for 6 months or so and have driven 7,500 miles in it, including a 1200 mile round trip to France an back.

    Overall I am still incredibly pleased with my purchase. I have had no problems with the car - bar one and the interior quality is excellent, there are still no rattles present and everything is holding up well to a lot of use.

    I have had one minro problems the glovebox lid unaligns itself leading to the light staying on constantly. I have been back to my dealership twice regarding this issue and have had one new glovebox lid and light set fitted with another set being ordered and rejected by the dealership as they thought that it wouldn't resolve the problem. At present I have a tempoarary solution (i.e glovebox light permenantly switched off) and am waiting for Renault to come up with a solution.

    Despite this I am still satisfied with the car and the service.. and would recommend the car to anyone seeking a super mini.

    My car

    The 106bhp diesel is stunning. I have obtained an ex-demonstration model with 4500 miles on the clock, so it's well run in.

    It is a Dynamique S and has practically everything on it, including rear sensors, keyless card entry, a panoramic sunroof, air-conditioning, upgraded stereo and tyre pressure indicator - all for £10,900 with an excellent trade-in on my old 65bhp Clio, bless its sluggish heart.

    The car itself is a joy to drive and I am conviced that the new generation diesel engines kick their petrol counterparts into touch every time for refinement and torque.

    I loved the car so much I bought it despite the fact that it's black. However, the saving on full retail was the clincher. I've been driving for nearly 40 years and the car makes me feel young again.
