Why ?
These are known for electrical faults or have they improved these?

Old ad, but there are still a lot of these going around. They're not bad cars as long as you find one without the electric handbrake.

Generally speaking 2000's Renaults seem to leak like a sieve, but in this car the controller for the handbrake is under the floor and can suffer from water ingress - resulting in the dreaded handbrake fault.

As with all French cars check that every last switch and knob works as intended, and walk away if it smells damp. :lol:
