Not sure how this will go down but this is a hell of a big car for the money.
Not the best reviews, not the best economy but this is a full size SUV for Super Mini pricing.
You can finance £6K on interest free for 36 months also.
So chopping out the first 1-2 years depreciation.
Offer on is until they sell out or until the end of the month, which ever is soonest.

Surely they should of changed the design of the stereo by now. Reminds me of being in a vectra. A roller coaster was more comfortable.
On a serious note, looks really tacky.

It's a Renault, so utter rubbish, all the quality of Pepsi can and a nightmare to work on.
Electrics are good for probably 5 years then they become a nightmare.

The reason it is so cheap is though is because it is being replaced in 2016 and they have purchased a bulk amount of the remaining stock.
Good deal in my books, but others may think otherwise.

All true, but the review is done at £20k+ list price, it would be better value for money @ £13k

For a 35K miles or under 12 plate cheapest on autotrader is £10k, even if trade in was only £8K, you are only staring at £6k depreciation in 3 years.
Don't think may new cars can in the class can beat that to be honest? but always happy for people to prove me long.

Not exactly "Full Size" is it.....

Well it is in the same size bracket as Ford Kuga, Landrover Discovery Sport, Kia Sorrento, Hynudai Santa Fe.
I would class them as full size and things like Qashqai, Duster, Mokka, Capture etc. as compacts.
Only the proper Discos, Range rovers and Pathfinders are significantly larger.

Don't actually dislike these, anyone out there in HUKDland actually got this model/spec?
Are they any good from personal experience? :smiley:

From what I here (as with all diesels) they are no good if you are doing mainly short journeys an the DPF and MPG get hammered.
But to be honest people moan about the same issues on nearly all diesels. Shoddy research and manufacturers and dealers not being clear on what type of driving suits a diesel are the main issues. :smiley:
Think the pre 2011 versions had a number of quality issues but the face lift seems to be a lot better.

I've got a 15 plate, and had before that a 13
Plate and love the car.
Both times had the Diamond FWD, but my parents have had the Exclusive twice. Love

When I bought my 2002 vectra, the very same stereo was installed. So effectively that stereo is coming up to being 14 Years old.
So I guess that would be where the cheat emission device is hidden if there was any. :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed.
I own a Astra Mk5 06 plate and you would of thought a 65 plate car would look totally different, but it looks the same ???

It's awful but so is the new Toyota Avensis dash >

Looks ok to me, especially if you choose a picture that represents the current variant. How much more tacky is it than cheap fake crystals, cheap jogging pants and some unknown um bongo drinks???
If you have actually been in one of these, the dash is actually a quite nice soft touch variant as opposed to the crap you would find in an equivalently priced duster!!
They are selling at £15,500 they are only £13,495 if you scrap your old car for £2K

I rang them as they are closer to me. But they cant touch this deal, the price or the finance.

Depends if you reviewed it at £14K I suppose rather than at nearly £22K? prefer this to a Dacia duster to be honest.
Owners seem reasonably happy on reevoo

For a 2015 car that dash looks hideous.
