headrush Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 my wife has the sports model ( petrol ) great car 50mpg Quote
Will370z Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I know of 2 members on here who had them and were very unimpressed. One kept going back due to engine issues and another had some interference with the phone and the radio unit. Looks cool but not a fan of French cars, keep hearing stories of dodgy electrics. May be an old wives tale like alias reliability, but where there is smoke there's fire. Quote

Cheers Will, yeah you only ever hear the bad stuff I guess, not a fan of French cars either but we will see, going to look at a few tomorrow. At the end of the day it will only be doing a short commute & shopping runs Sent from the golf club... Quote
Peak 370 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Like the sporty ones, but buy used, as values drop as fast as a 70s TV celebrity runs when the door bell rings. Edited July 23, 2014 by Peak 370 1 Quote

zabba Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Parents in law had one for 2 years from new, it was red with the black roof like the one above. They loved it and never had any issues with it over the 2 years they had it (which cannot be said of the Audi A1 we had). They only traded it in as they needed more space, so got a DS4. I think it had a 1.6 120bhp engine. Quote
Peak 370 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I have always liked Citroens. Had 5 2CVs, an Avantime (2 door people carrier!) and a few others, like a DS23. Quote

Peak 370 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Spurs; no mine had a 210 bhp 3.0 V6 like the one in other Renaults from that era. Quick and quirky car. Rare sight now. Quote

Bems Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Sister & husband had one 1.6hdi sport for two years. Loved it. No problems & good mpg. Only traded in as they needed a five door. Quote
spursmaddave Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Went to look at a couple today and they are pretty nice for what they are, look good (imo) and the drive is about as good as you would expect. Looking at another one tomorrow that is still a year in warranty so a bit of extra peace of mind Quote
LRF4N Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Did it feel French to drive or did it live up to it's looks? Quote
spursmaddave Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Did it feel French to drive or did it live up to it's looks? It was quite fun to drive to be honest, and the interior isn't that bad either Quote
