You’ve got to love these guys – they would dearly love to build plain, sensible cars like Volkswagen does, but they cannot suppress their Gallic creative streak. The result is a history of oddly attractive but badly flawed cars, but the new models are in a different class. Style, reliability and value all in one? Yes, you can.
-
Clio
£8,035 - £18,920
Renault has rediscovered its form with a loveable car in a class that lacks them
-
Megane
£10,780 - £27,425
Facelifted in 2012, the Megane is better than ever. But ask yourself, this or a Volkswagen Golf?
-
Megane CC
£19,195 - £23,910
The second-generation Megane was hardly the smallest in the posterior department, so with the even-more-generously-arsed CC it’s a wonder the thing can keep its nose on the ground. There are better coupe-cabriolets around nowadays...
-
Megane RS
Now even more powerful for 2012, the Megane RS is a very fast and very engaging hot hatch.
-
Scenic/Grand Scenic
It was refreshed for 2013 but others have now caught up, and passed, the original compact MPV
-
Twingo
£6,145 - £14,180
The latest Twingo is much prettier than before but a small Renault should be more zesty than this
-
Twizy
£6,795 - £7,495
Renault appears to have detached itself from reality. Doesn’t stop us from thinking the Twizy is genius
