Rusty

Enticed by the size per pound.

Much like property I have learned that location or quality is far more important than size.

If the car had not started to rust as soon as it was delivered I would probably be less harsh but it has some really annoying faults that get more annoying as you live with the car.

The seats, the quality of the foam is really poor and the squabs are short. Two hour is my limit. Heating and ventilation, the blower fan sounds like a jumbo jet on takeoff.

Wipers fail to clear the screen to the point of being dangerous in heavy rain.

The cars leak, the secondary seals are made of really cheap rubber according to the bodyshop man I spoke to, even when compressed they fail to seal. The doors all leak check the sides if you drive one.

Handling, ok, steering dreadful kickback when pressing on, not a pleasant experience.

Square electric window switch digs into your right knee.

Oh and the final nail in the coffin, they rust, everywhere, in the middle of panels, on the seams, behind every fixing.

Oh and one more thing Dacia/Renault customer service and a truly awful bunch.

Report as offensive
