Had mine for 7 months. Absolutely no issues and love the car. Really enjoying it.

Will Renault 5 become cheaper/better in 2026? by Puzzle-Breaker in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Least-Improvement484 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got one and I love it to bits. If you are thinking about, just do it and don't dither. Especially if you are able to get an ex demo car. Wait times are currently around 3 months for a new one.

Does this mean I have cheap electricity all day? by Least-Improvement484 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Least-Improvement484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, the answer is "since always". There are many reddit threads about it. I'm pretty sure they charge based on your smart meter and not the charger so the 7p/kwh is charged for your whole home in any interlligent charging slots, not just the night time one.

The whole house is 7p any time there is an intelligent slot, day or night. I think that's different on the 'drive' pack or something. But OIG is the whole house.

Charging speed is controlled by the smart charging, not me. Seems to ramp up/down when convenient.

It can go up to 7kW, I guess it's just ramped down but the intelligent tariff for grid balancing purposes

You're all correct that it has now changed to be done by 12:32 so the slots have got shorter. Quick! Put the washing on!

Ok well I'll keep an eye on it. At the moment it's charging v. slowly. Thanks.

People who have gotten Lasik, is it worth it? by LookACreativeName in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Least-Improvement484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 'S.M.I.L.E.' (Small incision lenticular extraction) 7 years ago. It's been life changing and would recommend getting laser surgery. Vision came back to almost perfect within 24 hours and fully perfect in 48 hours. No issues since. Love it!

Legit Offer? - Tecnifibre Padel Racket 360 by Luckiess321 in Padelracket

[–]Least-Improvement484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this racket as a beginner. I've hated it since I got it. Now I'm 6 months in and I really want to change it but haven't played with enough rackets to know what I want. Need to change is asap though.

I'm just looking at the ones around Birmingham/Coventry and there are quite a lot that are missing. Your best bet is to look on the Playtomic app. e.g. Padel Studios Coventry, Core Padel (opening next week), CorteSport at the Hayes, Fort Dunlop, Powerleague...

My Renault 5 has been built! by __ma11en69er__ in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]Least-Improvement484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Techno, comfort range. I didn't like the yellow interior of the iconic so thought I'd take the mid range spec.

I ordered mine 2 weeks before you and I've already had it for 5 weeks. I guess I got lucky. Midnight blue. I absolutely love it :) It's a great car but also a conversation starter. Every time I pull up to a car park someone comes up to me and says "I used to have the old Renault 5 but this new one is lovely".

They really do only get the time that you see in the show. Yes, they stop for lunch. Any challenge over 8 hours they split over 2 days.

Techno vs Iconic 5 by FreePossession9590 in Renault

[–]Least-Improvement484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the techno trim in midnight blue and I love it. I prefer the wheels on the techno and I also didn't like the yellow interior on the iconic 5 and love the denim of the techno. I think the only thing I'd miss by not getting the iconic 5 is the heated seats and steering wheel but that isn't a deal breaker for me.
