Popular car's enduring appeal is proving to be more than skin deep
MILEAGE 12,607 WHY WE'RE RUNNING IT To discover if Renault's retro-infused EV hit is as good to live with as it is to look at
It’s not quite curtains for our Renault 5 yet, but its departure from our long-term fleet is fast approaching. It’s therefore definitely time we started talking about what worked and why, rather than conveying too much further excitement about its arrival (even if privately I still have such feelings).
Two things continue to stand out about this rule-changing Renault, and I suspect they would still be highlights in a year's time, were it to remain on our fleet. One is the car’s sheer, enduring star quality; the other is the maturity of its development, especially given that it was rushed into production from a standing start.
