We have a fox here too. Haven't caught on cam yet but seen it running around the neighborhood couple of times.

Don't really like the Smart shape either. I think there are other more interesting propositions on the same Geely platform like upcoming Volvo or Polestar SUVs. Hopefully they've sorted out most of their current model issues by then and the infotainment could use a revamp too.

From Renault the upcoming Scenic interests me the most. I think the Megane looks great and drives great but sits a tad too low for my liking.

Renault Austral would otherwise be interesting but it's only available as hybrid.

I read about the scenic a month or so ago.
Might look at that again.

Do they supply a screwdriver for the emergency escape through the boot or must you still supply your own?
I might be interested if they put some proper wheels on it but those silly little wheels on big cars are plainly ludicrous.

So I picked my car up the other day.

Happy enough with the car, but the dealership still rubbed me the wrong way, lots of harrumping about delivery being a mess, even though my complaint was about their lack of updates.

Anyway,

Only thing that seems to be not working on mine is the lane assist. Although, there could be more, but figuring out how to get all of the multimedia stuff actually signed up seems to be a bit of a nightmare. Managed to get the media system stuck in safe mode for a bit too. I read on the book about factory resetting this, and click a world icon here, and all that doesn't seem relevant for the etech.

Ah well, wonder if hitting the brake and accelerator just right does a screenshot

I warned you guys about safe mode.

Yeah, I'm one of those guys who, when told not to do something, it is normally far too tempting.

Think a really long press on the multimedia power button is what brought it back round to regular mode.

A number of problems appeared for me after I went into it. Coincidental maybe but I was hoping it would make some options appear, it didn't. It looks like there are a number of unpolished items which in the last 6 months should have been ironed out but I guess they couldn't find someone to test the car properly.

My car was delivered today, it's stunning! But Friday 13th bit me when the delivery driver hit the bumper on the curb so that's broken 🤪 He was very apologetic and the dealer communication this afternoon has been really good. New bumper is on back order with Renault France and could be 4 weeks + though. Shame but I'm going to enjoy the car anyway 🙂

 

[208's Plenty]

Oh, bugger, at least you won't have to worry about damaging that area.

I don't usually go out on Friday 13th, other people's bad luck. I don't need to be involved with that.
When my Mokka was delivered, the driver drove past my house 8 times, 3 of which I was stood there trying to flag him down.
He then came within mm of curbing one of the back wheels and parked on the pavement.
Getting out of the car he swung on the door then dropped both fobs on the ground, one never did look right. There's more but you get the picture.

He came very close to having to walk home with a car stuck up his arse.
Well done for not being in custody, !

What colour is the car anyway? Any pics yet?

Photo angle hides the damaged bumper!

Okay not driven yet but spent the last hour in the infotainment.....and interior

• Sound superb -- Harman Kardon...excellent
• Seat adjustment all manual bar Lumber support (electric)...
• Apple Carplay over BT perfect and Local Android setup ....all relatively easy....Wifi same... all the Android bits do ....
• Android Developer mode is disabled unless u email Development at Renault
• Android 10 Q (2019)... so a good bit behind.
• app store, limited but some apps...Spofiy/Amazon Music/Plug Share but Video limited etc.
• You can turn off the auto Keyfob entry....so secure...
• Heated Steering and Seats all good. (Seat pressure sensors turn it off if empty etc...)
• Screen is really too small the "Scrolling" ...Swipe up for Music....will take ages to get down a list as the area available for swipe is even smaller due to the top bar and bottoms heater ac controls
• Massive gap between the arm rest and the storage tray/tunnel below....Would have been useful for a cover on top of that... so I can put a cleaning cloth tissues etc.and the keyfob...

Were you able to set up Amazon Music to use? I found the app in the store but when I clicked it it said something about not being compatible and then it disappeared from the store.

Also, yesterday on my very short trip to the garage to check my broken bumper was safe to keep driving, I was flashed twice and I think it's because of the bright lights. Checked in settings and car is set to driving on the left and haven't quite worked out how to adjust them up/down with the button yet. Anyone else had a similar experience please?
