Had 2 Renault Espace's - and that was 2 too many!
1st we owned for 12 months - and was actually on the road for 3!! snapped driveshafts - ALL engine mounts -2 complete head strip downs - electrical gremlins that made an 70's alpha Romeo look reliable - spark plugs that would unscrew themselves over about 3 miles..the list went on. eventually sold it at a massive loss..only to get a diesel one last year - nice engine - erm thats about it!
Hate em, nowhere to put your left foot - seats feel veryuncomfortable (to me anyway) and a gear change that requires a clairvoyant to work out where the gears are .
Also having 3 kids I had the misfortune to see one get involved in a fairly minor crash - and it came out looking well and truly shreded  :shock:
