So just an update to all who responded here. I switched from Woolworths Mobile over to Telstra Prepaid Mobile a few months ago now. So far…

Fair point re fuel economy. Though I’m not sure many of the manufacturer claims are all that reliable - including the Mazda ones..

Yep, I’ve been looking at a new(er) car recently - the RAV is the ‘go to’ for 5 seat SUV’s it seems but they’re a bore to drive..…

Hey I’m just providing OP with some alternative options for their consideration. No need to troll.

Yep, just in front of the transmishin. :p

A 6 will generally not need to work as hard to get the same amount of power as a 4 cylinder engineer does, so lower rpm, quieter.. Probably…

If you're into the $55-60k range, take a look at the Mazda CX-60. Pretty sure they have leather seats and power tailgate. They also have a…

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why is it we should withdraw as soon as its at $10?

I've had my ego mower and blower for about 4 years now. Good gear, still going great! If I get 6-7 years out of it I'll be happy. If it…

Thanks Techie4066. I’ve read that about the engine on other sites, it’s based on a similar design to the A series merc engine. A few UK…

THanks for this! The depreciation does seem a LOT worse with Renault than with Toyota or other Japanese brands... This tells me to look for…

Cheers for the post! Yeah, no way I'd buy without a test drive.. I'm a little concerned about the lack of power from the engine, but they…

Thanks RinaW, appreciate the post!

You own the Arkana or the Koleos? Sounds like a nasty one..

Not far from us at all, cheers!

Cheers for this, may I ask what city you’re in? My nearest Renault dealer is in Homebush (Sydney), but there’s a service centre near me…

Yeah the 1.3L engine might struggle.. A few people have noted this.. Also, buying a used one might be better option anyway - MY23 dealer…

This makes a lot of sense actually. Helps me look past the initial buy price. I reckon we’d keep the car for a long time, but its hard to…

I haven’t even thought about the control surfaces and knobs etc.. I think i need to go sit in one.. I should probably go look at the…

Agree, CRV is the comparable size. HRV is smaller and has some nice features. Smaller would probably be fine for us, but I’d need to go…

Seems to be the consensus, other than ‘don’t buy one at all’ :) Cheers for sharing your experiences!

Cheers for this post! It’s making me think more about forking a little more money for a Toyota or Hyundai.. Any love for Honda? Perhaps…

Some of the review sites have made similar comments. Have you driven one? My wife wont care about this but I will. Wasn’t that long ago I…

Yeah my confidence in Haval and BYD is not high.. Based purely on my experience with completely unrelated products that are made in PRC..…

Soooo I’m getting some vibes here that maaaaybe you’re not quite feeling comfortable with the idea that these cars will quite meet your…

So there's a new ASX coming out this year apparently.. I wonder whether it'll borrow from a Nissan or Renault model.. Also the Outlander is…

Good to know. The Arkana has a 7 speed "dual clutch" transmission... Whatever that means. Sound like when the trans dies it costs twice as…

Haha, noted!

I'm curous about the Haval H6.. My other pick would be a RAV4, but they're a bit more expensive with less features..

Anyone here have any experience with the recent model Renault SUV’s? I like the features and styling of the Arkana, and the Koleos is a…
