The Renault 5e may have been many reviewers car of the year 2025 but that apparently comes with a massive downside if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident. My daughter’s car has now been off the road for almost 4 months since an accident on new years eve due to Renault’s inability to provide parts or even to tell the garage when parts will be available! It’s quite disgraceful that she has lost the use of a depreciating vehicle for a quarter of a year already with no end in sight. Her insurer cancelled her insurance because they did not believe a new car could be unfixable for this long so her joy at a pretty and practical new car has turned into misery and cost through no fault of her own. It is the more puzzling because after being rear ended by a taxi the vehicle was entirely driveable so goodness knows what parts Renault are unable to provide. How can Renault be unable to provide a few parts for so long and not even be able to say when they will arrive? It’s boggling and massively disappointing. The car was lovely when it was available to drive but people will think twice when its clear Renault simply can’t service this popular product adequately
