Modus operendi

Have you any updated reports on the Renault Grand Modus, please? The only thing I don't like about this vehicle is the manufacturer. Renault doesn't have a reliable background, but the size, seating position and neatness of the car is what I need. I am also considering the Nissan Note. Any advice, please, for someone who needs an easy access/egress and space in the boot for dogs?

Funnily enough I was speaking to a friend today who has run a Grand Modus 1.5DCI for a year with not trouble at all. Renault has become very much better than it used to be. The new Scenics are excellent, and the new Megane and Laguna are very good too.
