Funny. I’ve been driving Renault pretty much my entire life, starting with a then 16 year old Renault 19. Which lasted until I totalled it in a one-sided accident 4 years later (misjudged the distance to a fence)
Only issue I ever had with that car was a broken drive shaft. And that was the worst thing that I’ve ever encountered with Renault cars.
IDK much about Renault’s, or cars for that matter, but isn’t renault one of the badges which is really just a badge now?
My grandfather swore by renaults. They were expensive because they were imported from France (to Australia).
Now, they’re one of the cheapest cars on the road because they’re manufactured in Korea. They have terrible resale value because rightly or wrongly, they’re perceived to be very poor quality.
What I mean to say is, does renault the company really make cars, or do they just license their badge to whoever can make the cheapest Megane? I honestly don’t know but that’s the impression I get.
It’s definitely not a rebadge car company. I highly doubt a rebadger would have been able to win Car of the Year with the Scenic this year. I believe the Clio, Megane and the Scenic cars are produced in Romania.
Nope, that’s been seriously the only problem I’ve ever had with Renaults. Maybe I’ve been very lucky. But with my Clio previously and now my Megane that I’ve had for five years now, I haven’t had a single issue. *knocks on wood*
I’ve got a bag of potatoes in my cupboard that will outlast a Renault tho

I didn’t say they were a rebadge car company. Just pointing out that if you buy a Koleos in Australia, it will have been manufactured in Korea.
If you’ve been driving old Renaults your whole life I absolutely 100000 percent guaran-fuckin-tee that’s not the only problem you’ve had
