I ordered the seven-seater from the catalogue. Had I had the opportunity to test drive one, I would never have ordered it. I wanted 7 seats so I could take my grandchildren out together. My granddaughter is in a car seat behind the passenger seat. I have to put her in one side, then go around the other side to fasten the seatbelt in as it sinks below the seat!!! If my granddaughter is in the car, then no one over 5ft 4 can sit in the front, as the seat has to move forward to give her legroom. When the car was passed over to me, my granddaughter was sitting in her seat. The showroom man showing me the car, had his knees up to his chest. Even he said “oops, this isn’t going to work well with tall people.”

I have long Covid, COPD, and a serious back injury. My back hurts more driving. I didn’t realise how low down it was as it was advertised as an MPV which I presumed was like my prior car with a higher seat. I cannot put my grandchildren in the back two seats on the motorway or faster than 30mph roads. The seats are too cheaply made, too flimsy, and only inches away from the boot should a vehicle or worse still a lorry crash into us. Even on a 30mph road, I am constantly checking the vehicles behind me. Then there is the middle seat, middle row seatbelt catastrophe! Who on Earth designed a family car with the seatbelt for it, in line with the back two seatbelts? I can’t have anyone sat in the middle, if anyone is in the back. It serves as a distraction. Kids are going to be kids and they have several times annoyed the middle seat passenger by tugging on the seatbelt that crosses their faces. Then we have the cars intelligence system, telling me how to drive. Stupids commands coming up telling me to take a rest or take control of the car, and so much more. Only yesterday it was telling me to take control, and trying to steer me into the hard shoulder. It doesn’t always recognise some of the lines from lines that have been painted over. I cannot use the seven seats to go anywhere with all the grandchildren. The two back seats are a no, and only my grandaughter or a front seat passenger can ride. Therefore making is only a 4 person car!

It is not a smooth car to drive, it almost feels like I’m driving on cobblestones, it feels rumbly. I’ve always driven cars where I pull the sunshade down with my head hand, but on this I’ve got to pull it down with my right hand, after forgetting and trying to use my left hand, my right hand is always on the steering wheel. All other cars I’ve driven, when I use cruise control ( which I use every time I drive), when I’m in a 30 zone and enter a 20 zone, after having being stopped, when I re-engage the cruise control, the cars I’ve driven automatically go to that speed. On this, unless I remember to deselect, then re-select cruise control, it remains at 30, and by the time I take to switch it off, I’m going about 25 or 26 mph. I drive at a proper 30 mph, not the speedometer 30 mph, so I get an annoying overspeed beep which I try to turn off, but immediately turns itself back on. I am 6’ tall, in my natural driving position, nobody can sit in the seat behind me, unless it’s a child. It’s a bit frightening, when I’m driving at 40 mph and I go too near to the white line, and the car automatically takes control of the steering. I am also finding it very difficult getting into, and definitely getting out of the vehicle.

Seals around doors coming apart! Car refuses to start unless key on ridiculously position card zone! Random instructions come up on control board having no relevance to what the car needs to do! Lack of appropriate storage space. Handles too lowdown. But does loads to the gallon!

It’s to low for me to get in and out, not doing my back any good

Make the height bit bigger

We love the well, thought-out interior design with tons of space, cleverly placed storage and simple and easy to use infotainment/climate controls.

Simple, clear, physical. The infotainment system is easy to use, wireless carplay makes it a breeze to use with your phone and the super conveniently placed charger/mount near the wheel makes for a delightful experience. The different seat configurations you have at your disposal are great. I'll often lift one of the middle row seats up at stops and have a snack, stretching my legs whilst my dogs join me at the back.

Sure the materials aren't posh, but for us, with two dogs and a very active lifestyle (mountain running, hiking), this means we don't have to be as precious about the car as we would have otherwise been. If I had to pick one thing that I wish was even better it would be long-distance comfort. We frequently (4x per month) drive 6h in one direction, where sometimes I wish it could be a bit softer/plusher, but hey for the price it comes I cannot complain!

8000 miles traveled so far and very happy about it.

Too many beeps and alarms. Plus the car tries to drive itself unnecessarily. with a keep in lane warning or a control your car warning when the road is bouncy (holes in the road) or the road has had the white lines temporarily removed for road works. Plus when you have changed speed limits and the car is slow to realise and it beeps to tell you to slow down but you are correct. Drives you nuts.

Other than all that, reversing is a nightmare as you cannot see out of the back window. Blind spots are massive.

Car is lovely. Drives nice. Comfortable. Economic. Lovely colour, we picked forest green. Did take a LONG time to get it, but was worth it. Hybrid is fabulous.

Unacceptable delay on resolving defect on new car.Took delivery end of September last but fault with drivers rug fitting so new part ordered from Dacia via Renault Bolton but still not had new part fitted as Renault say still awaiting part from you. Additionally Renault Bolton registered vehicle incorrectly and I had to pay an additional £25 + postage for a new log book. This is the 8th new vehicle I have purchased from Renault Bolton in the last 22 years and by far this is my worst experience.
