Just wondering what cars people had before they had their Kadjar?
That is of course assuming almost everyone purchasing a Kadjar is replacing and old vehicle of some sort.....?

We became Kadjar'ers (is that a word or have I just made something up?)..  after many years of being an Espace family.
previous car was an 03 Reg Espace purchased brand new 6 June 2003, 
ran for 15years and 165,000+ miles.  Then sold for scrap 5 June 2018
(was supposed to collect Kadjar on 6 June 18, but was delayed for one  day till 7 June)

So we have had many years of Renault key-cards and automatic brake etc..
With 5 children and a caravan to tow the Espace was a great vehicle for holidays and university trips and a removal van for children growing up and getting married etc..

but now our youngest is 21 and we don't need a 7 seater MPV...

Our local Renault service dealership is 10mins walk up the road.. 
and they have given us top notch service for years..
so when looking to replace the Espace I was still generally biased toward Renault...

So now got a 1.6Diesel Kadjar which later next month I will find out how it compares towing to the Espace.
Anyone else a Kadjar Caravaner????

(Before the last Espace we had an older second hand MkII Espace for 7+ years,
so we have been a bit spoilt when it comes to having loads of room to just chuck all and sundry in the car!)


What are other's pre-Kadjar experiences?
cheers,
Stuart

Before we bought the Kadjar last May, we had Ford C-max twice. Very pleased with both of them. No problems at all. And a much superior radio to the Kadjar. But fell in love with the Kadjar during a test ride and here we are... First french car. Before the C-max, we had two Mondeos and a few other Fords, a couple of Opels (Vauxhall in the UK, I believe), Mazda, Volvo, VW,  and two Saab.

My previous car was Scenic 2008 (1,5 dci, 110hp), bought it second hand when it was 3 years old. Totally in love with that car. It had 7" SatNav and most of the other extras. Never had an issue with it for the 5+ years I had it. Then the garage guy who was servicing it, bought it. But the KJ and all it features is light years ahead... I was actually looking for a new Scenic, but they are not for sale in Eastern Europe, so... the KJ was my second choice, regarding the big trunk.

I had an Renault RX4 that my wife passed down to me when she bought a Renault Captur to try to get me away from my motorcycle.

As a historic Renault owner, you will find Kagy well different. Renault owners expect quirkiness, problem is the kagy is not all Renault and inherits the worst bits of Japanese finishing.

We have had Meganes, Megane est's, Clio's and scenics, loved 'em all. The Kagy is good, but it's not typical Renault.
We still have a relatively new Clio, next main car may be another brand
