new here,
just bought an 08 full history 25,000 mile example in showroom condition and as much as i wanted to avoid a gold one, the colour is growing on me ! Still on original tyres and brakes and its good to see although the tyres are ready on the front, the brake pads wont want doing for ages !
coming out of a civic diesel, first impressions are boy is this a nice comfy relaxed ride despite the scuttle shake which came as a shock it was that bad on my local roads and takes some getting used to - but.. Give me scuttle shake every time over the harsh jarring ride of the civic !
Everything works fine having had a oh my god the roof is knackered moment until i realised the cargo height thing had to be over before the roof comes down !
The car had an mpg average over the entire 25k miles of 47mpg and now i have reset it and done all town driving the figure is alarmingly low despite being gentle with the car and if i m honest, having had an 05 plate hatchback megane dci 100 i have to say thus far i am a little disapointed and didnt expect a figure well below 40 mpg...

Is this low figure normal in real life rather than what renault claim ?
Took a picture of the dirtiest thing on the car with the cover removed !
