I had it for 24 hours and its amazing little car. If I would need small car just for the city, this would be it. Interesting that entire trio likes it so much

Got my Renault 5 e-tech a month ago as our family 2nd car. Wasn’t expecting much but I absolutely love it, and prefer driving it over our family Merc suv. Highly recommend it.
