    How are you finding the fuel economy and the cost of a service?

    From Renault, any change from €300 is doing well. As above though, lots of locksmiths are getting good at repairing them for ~€100 but even that is saucey.

    If family is on the way the I recommend you get a large hatch or estate. The megane estate would be similar to the fluence but a bit pricier.

    Agreed Did my sums and research and a Megane hatch or Estate came out tops.

    Have had my Fluence just over 5 years now. Has given me no bother at all. I find it a lovely car to drive, even on long journeys. Big plus is the huge boot.
    The card key has literally been in my pocket for 5 years and apart from 2 battery changes its still perfect.
    My local Renault garage is walking distance from my house, so have had the servicing done there. Not overly expensive for a main dealer and never had to have anything fixed or replaced other than the normal service items.
    Am thinking of trading it in for a new one at the moment.

    Our fluence has a full main dealer service history, it's not bad at all cost wise, the 1.5dci seem to be generally acknowledged as quite frugal as regards fuel consumption , if you want the exact cost details, pm me on Thursday, I'll dig the history out

    Renault has 4 services that they do on the Fluence, Service A, B, C, and D. Service A is the cheapest @ €189, Service C is the most expensive @ €279 and the rest fall somewhere in between those two figures. The intervals are recommeded to be 20k by Renault, but most dealers seems to promote 15k.

    Timing belts are due at 160k kms and they are €599 to replace.

    Key cards are just a bad design in comparison to a chunky key. The cards flex and bend, which causes issues
    Toyota and ford keys are expensive too.
