These look arlight. Was speaking with a Taxi driver on Wednesday night when he picked me up in one. His had done 190k and said he'd had not real problems with it apart from wear and tear.

Both my pugs still going strong

In a strange way I quite like these - very comfy to drive and the power steering is the lightest of anything I've ever driven! And pretty much one of the quietest things too!

Watch out for the Keycard playing up as they aren't cheap to replace via Renault, although some guy on eBay can repair your existing key for a fairly good price from what I recall (as I got 2 fixed for my ex gf's parents)

The keycard microswitches go - can be repaired for £25 a card - www.keycardrepair.co.uk.

Mrs has a 1.6 in same spec/trim - its gutless, but otherwise ok. The aircon is shite, the fan blowers are really weak, and the window regulators pack up, but otherwise it is nice to drive and ideal with the little one and his luggage

Dont buy keys from ebay - they are coded to the ecu and cant be recoded

Stealers = £200+ last time i checked. I sent mine away to the link above - got it back in 2 days all fixed. Just left the car unlocked while it was away - no doorpins to show etc so didnt worry about it.
