Having had two of them of 2000-2004 vintage, I've concluded the trick with Renaults (of that era at least) is/was to do one of:
- Buy as basic a manual diesel spec as possible, or
- Get shut before 5 years/100,000km, or
- Accept that electrical stuff will break as it gets older, and accept that you won't fix it unless it stops the car running.
If you want a foible-free car, a Renault's not for you. But, Alanovic, is a DSG Passat a better prospect? At middle age, surely the search for fault-free motoring leads to a Toyota Avensis or the later Hyundai/Kia big saloons?
