Hi,
I am planning to buy a new renault captur. Anyone bought this one recently?How is it?

Had one as a rental car. Was surprisingly well equipped. Satnav on big central lcd & keyless entry/start. Funky styling. OK to drive. Refined enough.

Will depreciate like a brick, hopefully you're keeping it for a while.

Isn't the 1.2 non turbo supposed to be a bit overwhelmed by the weight of it?

It is very like the Nissan Qaskai, probably the same chassis/platform. It is less well equipped - or at least the one I rented was. Small engine so gutless, but very good on fuel.

Its a juke rival. The Qashqai is much bigger.

Smaller than the Cashcow.

It's the French version of the Juke.

My mistake. I rented one a while back. It was OK, but not great.

I had one for a day with 1.2 litre engine and EDC gearbox.
It was pleasant enough. quite refined, comfortable and went around corners quite well for a car riding so high. nowhere near as tacky as the Juke.
The headlights were rubbish and the fuel guage appeared to drop quite quickly but I can't prove that it was hard on fuel because I only had it for the one day.
I wasn't driving it particularly hard. It drove well in City on Autobahn and on country roads.
The light in the recess on the dashboard in front of the passenger seemed a bit silly.
I think the diesel might be a better car but it might be a bit heavy to be hanging over the front axle.
