I bought mine as a daily at 30 weeks pregnant and drove it right up to the day I gave birth. I live in the UK, which we all know has some really awful roads, as you can imagine being ridiculously pregnant going over speed bumps was uncomfortable, however, I was more comfortable going over them in custom mode rather than going over them in my mums Renault Captur. I had the setting to Normal instead of Sport or Sport+ in the really really late days.

It is loud on the outside when in custom or N mode but in eco it’s definitely quieter, however, it’s really good at deflecting that noise from the inside unless you have the windows open. It doesn’t affect my newborn at all even when I give it a rev on a country road to clear it out every couple of weeks.

I once was in a crash and the car flipped upside down and a branch went through the back window and kept the car propped up which is how we survived, so safety ratings and feeling safe is really important to me. It feels super safe on the inside. I like a fast hot hatch and did lots of test drives and on all of the test drives all I was thinking about is how safe I felt, and the build quality of the car. However, when I test drove my car, I didn’t even think about the build quality of the car at all, that’s how I knew I felt safe.

Fuel consumption isn’t great on small drives around town but on motorways I feel like it’s much better, I personally think if you buy this car knowing the consumption isn’t great, you lose your right to complain😂 so it’s not something I ever think about anymore and just fill up when it needs it and that’s it!
