Yeah it is, pulls very well (Only went up to 70), loads of grip too. Build quality seems pretty good tbf, I know when you think Renault you think "sh*t", but it's not actually that bad. No creaks whatsoever when I had it out, and much quieter and better ride than my Ibiza

Edit: Well quieter drive, you do hear the exhaust though haha.

Pics shall be with you shortly Phil Shame they were taken on my phone, but some of them look ok

 

[mick-fr]

Well I left my house in this, this morning......

 

[mick-fr]

And I arrived home, in this

The trip said 22mpg when I got home... I blame the Clyde Tunnel tbh

 

[rf860]

I like that a lot tbh. Wish i could get a fast petrol Weekend of detailing then ha ha? No doubt the dealer will have done a crap job of 'valeting' it

 

[mick-fr]

Two more, kinda crap quality as they were taken on my phone - But thought I'd put them up anyway

Thanks It would have been, but I'm going upto Dundee so a nice driving weekend The inside is spotless tbh, and the outside pretty clean too - But looks dirty because of the rain/spray etc

 

[rf860]

Thats more interesting i suppose. Bet i could find some dirt lol, bit ocd that way!

 

[mick-fr]

Yeah, hopefully it's dry Lol.. it would be hard as it does look immaculate!
