Welcome to drive the debate

very economical parts are available and cheap

rust on rear doors lots of vibration and noises lots of repair excessive road noises cheap plastic interior seats tend to wear out pretty quickly

i bought my second hand one for £2000 and spent a further £1000 on repairs. The car is now more or less reliable, only broken down once in very hot weather (i think it was a vapour lock) Considering the amount of money i have spent on it, i will NEVER buy a renault again, i will rather rely on unpredictable public transport.
