After 3 Scenics and a Seat Altea XL, I have decided that my next car will be a "SUV" type. Like the higher seating position, like th elooks, like the versatility of having part time 4WD.
Not looking to change for another year or so and looking at whats on the market just now, I think I would be interested in a Qashqai, the Hyundai ix35 or the new Kia Sportage. They will probably all be available in decent spec in the sub £20k by next summer.
However, dealer near me is selling brand new, 60 plate Renault Koleos Dynamique S DCi 150 4x4 for £17995 instead of £24k. Now I know this is a run out model, they no longer make them etc but the review on another website is very complimentary and I think it is based on the Quashy / X Trail 4WD system etc.
I know there are many Renault bashers, I loved my 3 Scenics, I only changed to Seat as at the time of changing, the new Scenic wasn't out so I would have been replacing like for like.
The Koleos seems to have good spec with bluetooth, BOSE sound system etc. Only thing missing for me is the panormaic sunroof which I liked on my Scenic. (when it didn't creak).
Anyone any experiences of the Koleos (the what? I hear the cry)
It seems to also be chain driven but does have FAP though.
