Think carefully. I went from a Ford Focus to a DcI 100 Clio and I have some regetrs. After a few months I really stated to miss the interior space of the larger car. The interior is very French. The plastics are not very good and don't fit that well to gether. They also fall off frequently. The car is made from the thinnest metal and paint known to man, it dents and scratches increadibly easily so DON'T buy a black one like I did.It depreciates like a brick. I bought mine for a38850 (preReg 6 miles on the clock) and was offered a35200 one year later.The mpg figure is pie in the sky, it's not bad but nowhere near 67mpg. 56mpg is more realistic on a motorway/urban mix, 62mpg A/B mix.Good points the major componants have been reliable. It's a refined on the motorway the seats are comfortable and the climate control is worth having. The auto lights are useful the autowipers can be a pain. It's fast and doesn't eat tyres like some diesels, I've done 29000 on the first set so far with plenty of tred left. Servicing is cheap if you steer clear of Renault. The first service is no more than an oil change but Renault charge a3140. Go independent and use Renault parts and you save cash and keep the warranty.Sevice intervals of 18000 help too.I've heard the don't last past 3 years too well. I'll find out in 18 months.Focus is a better car but dearer, the 115bhp diesel is nice. The VW diesel in the leon is sublime, I've only driven it in Audis though. Too expensive though.Enjoy your car whatever you get, but don't get a black one unless you have shares in T-Cut.
