DEALER SATISFACTION
- COIMBATORE RENAULT SHOW ROOM - HAD A GREAT TIME AND EXECUTIVE WAS SO PROMPT. GAVE US FULL DETAIL AND TEST DRIVE 3 TIMES UNTIL WE GOT SATISFIED. EXCELLENT ON THAT PART.
SPACE AND COMFORT
NOT VERY SPACIOUS NOR TOO TIGHT. BETTER THAN AVERAGE. BOOT IS SPACIOUS.
A/C IS COMFORTABLE EVEN AT 45 DEGREES TEMP. COOLING TAKES A BIT OF TIME DUE TO LARGE CABIN
COMFORT THIS IS WHAT I LOVE IN THIS CAR. ON HIGHWAYS IT JUST GLIDES. ABSOLUTELY STABLE AND NO JERK SUSPENSION IT IS ONE OF THE BEST.
ENGINE, FE AND HANDLING
- ENGINE IS GOOD AT HIGH SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS BUT LACKS POWER INSIDE CITY. BUT GOOD TO DRIVE.
STEERING FEELS BIT HEAVY GETS USED TO.AFTER 40000 KMS ENGINE HAS BECOME SILKY SMOOTH.
- FUEL EFFICIENCY IS 14 INSIDE CITY AND ON HIGHWAYS BETWEEN 16-17 KMPL DEPENDING ON THE SPEED.
USUALLY I DRIVE BETWEEN 100 - 120 KMPH.
- HANDLING IS VERY EASY DON'T FEEL BULKY AT ALL.
TYRES
- MRF WANDERER WAS COMPANY PROVIDED WHICH WAS BIT HARD. NOW REPLACED WITH YOHOHOMA GEOLANDER AT 50000 KMS. RIDE QUALITY HAS IMPROVED FAR BETTER.
SERVICE
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE RENAULT HAS TO IMPROVE. NOT UPTO THE MARK. THEY HAVE TO LEARN FROM TOYOTA AND HONDA TO DEAL WITH THE CUSTOMERS AND FEEDBACK.
SERVICE CHARGES ARE VERY REASONABLE. TILL NOW THE HIGHEST BILL AMOUNT I HAVE PAID IS 6500.00
AMT GEAR BOX
ONE OF THE BEST GEAR BOX I HEARD FROM AUTOMOBILE EXPERTS AND OF COURSE YES.
SHIFTS VERY SMOOTHLY. DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS WILL NOT LIKE ITS SLOW CHANGE OVERS.
ITS VERY COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE INSIDE CITY TRAFFIC.
REMEMBER AFTER 55000 KMS I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW
BRAKES
- THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES. I HAD CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS TO BREMBO PADS WHICH ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE BUT DOES ITS JOB WELL. IF ANY USERS FIND BRAKES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TRY BREMBO PADS THAT ARE AVAILABLE IN OUTSIDE MARKET.
RELIABILITY
- ENGINE IS NO DOUBT VERY RELIABLE BUT SERVICE CENTRE. KEPT MY FINGERS CROSSED. WILL WAIT AND SEE.
PROBLEMS AND AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
LIGHT IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND CHANGED WITH MORE POWERFUL HALOGENS FROM OUTSIDE MARKET.
INTERIORS CAN BE UPDATED.
DRIVING ON THE MUDDY ROAD AND ONCE YOU TRY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR DAMN SURE YOUR PANTS ARE GOING TO GET DIRT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR(COLLECTED DIRT FALLS OFF FROM THE RUBBER BEADING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR) IT HAS TO BE RECTIFIED. NO SOLUTIONS FROM SERVICE POINT.
THATS ALL FOLKS FOR NOW.
HOPE YOU GOT A FAIR IDEA ABOUT THE VEHICLE.
WILL GET BACK TO YOU AFTER REACHING 1 LAKH KMS.
UNTILL THEN SEE YOU.TAKE CARE.DRIVE SAFE.
