Hey guys,
This has been coming... However since Thursday I have done 650km in the new car! As you can tell, I love driving it!    Things I like about the Renault: - Trip meter; I can work out how much petrol since the last refill, Kms since the last refill, Kms left etc etc. A great feature - The seats - WOW. You do not move 1mm when cornering! Can also set the headrests behind your head so your head doesn't even move! - Cornering... You should see the corners this thing can take. Put the power down and it corners harder too! Back off - and Oversteer!  - Anti Hijack feature; Locks the doors when driving at 6km/h - Xenon headlights... Damn they are bright! Turn on the high beams and fog lights... and they are deadly! - Power; OMG - hit 5,000rpm and it just takes off! - Cruise Control... Although I claimed the XR5T not having it sucked... I actually like it. Works really well though... accelerates pretty hard to go up a hill... so it doesn't slow down. Also has speed limiter... which you can set to 60km/h so you cannot accelerate harder unless you push it all the way - ESP... Works VERY well as it does not limit the power. You can even get slight chirps to start.... and a massive one into second gear! It is also fully switchable... - Very good seating position... everything is clearly visible. Although... that Steering wheel.... Disappointed: - Steering wheel... has a very weird angle. Works great if you drive the proper way. However, no lean back driving (which I never do... but friends hate it) - Sound System - EVEN THE FIESTA IS BETTER! Far out! - Turning circle. I'm yet to do a U Turn. Everything turns into a 3 point turn! Also makes it a pain in the ИИИИ to park too! Even though it is small... - No Spare Wheel. All i get are two tyre foam repair kits and 24hour Renault RoadSide Assistance (through NRMA). Although, I rather have this... as the reason it isn't there is because the 182 has Dual Exhausts.... - Fuel Consumption - averaging 12L/100km at the moment... Anyway, I really miss the Fiesta. Although, I smile everytime I drive the Clio. And, at work I cannot wait for the day to finish so I can DRIVE home  Steven
