Still I can't fault the 3.0 Renault engine, until the rear main failed it went like a train! Almost, .... almost made me think FWD might not be that bad! We primarily purchase it due to the boot space and interior comfort, ferrying potential customers back and forth from the airport.
Hopefully Renault dont enter the EV/Hybrid race, we got enough rubbish on the road as is although they did increase their sales numbers this year by around 25%. Being a member of the Ateco group doesnt fill me with a lot of hope either...
