Stupid idea from Renault, make a black plastic grab handle then paint it beige! and how long will that last, considering the amount of beige interiors thay have on the megs would it have really been that expensive to cast the whole handle in beige plastic, opposded to casting in black plastic then colouring it as well, again with them it is that small issue with detail that they always seem to fail on, I have found it worse on the Meg 2 you would almost say they have an attitude of "oh that 'l do" you know issues with window motors at the bottom of the regulator acting as a drip rail, HUDs with stuck on ribbon cables ontop of the dash where they bake and the ribbon cable is folded in such a manor that all the presure of the ben is on the glue, front deat belts can't be reached if you push your seat forward (shorter people) Handbrake throttle leaver designed to fail via a small screw in a plastic fixing, once this screw works its way out or the platic hole enlarges through hand brake operation, the hand brake is then rendered "in op"
I think the list must be endless. No doubt not much larger than other makes now, seems to be the way they are made now, I was passed yesterday by two TR6,s an old convertable jag, and a very old MG, my first thought was nice! then bet my car lasts nowhere near as long as them...
