Hello everyone as i mention to previous post i had a Roomster for a test drive for 2 days (actually for 1,1/2 ) so i tryto do all my regular jobs (Shopping, work, travel) in order to get a general opinion for this car. So :
1. Driving in the city
- As a owner of a Renault Clio II 1.4 98HP, i have to say that in the small roads in the city i never felt that i drive a bigger car than my Clio, only when i was parikng i was a little afraid but thsi is matter of use and Park Sensors .
- I miss the little extra throtle that i have in my Clio but this is nothing to worried about.
2. Drivng in Highway
- General i felt very nice drove it, acceleration was fine both on 60-80 and 80-120 km/h but after 130 (and this noise from engine) the roomster want more and more space to get the 170 km/h.
- The thing that impressed me is that so the front passanger as the back didnt felt nothing when i was steering very neurus in order to check if the car get strange angles. That was VERY GOOD !!!!
3. The TRACK use
- Ha ha, i try to find a way that Roomster did't respond to extra heavy duty, So i get it with my Wife, and went for clothes shopping , then we went to LIDL Store and for finish we decide at the same time to get the little bed (1,50m x 0.80m) for our little boy (we excepting him this October). And guess after i fold the 2 seats (not take them out) it fits like a charm, and still had many room of other....
Bottom Line
(+)
Fuell economy
Many many many storage
The better room for passengers
Comfort - Climatorinc etc
Price (17500 euros for Elegance Version includig ectra fees)
Unique Design - and as more i looke it so i like it more
(-)
Noise Engine
Little Top Speed
I would like a little more extra equipment (MaxiDot for example and the 3rd pillow back)
-> I defiantly buy it (i hope in the end of 2007)
Sorry for my English
Best Regards
