Renault Captur 0.9 TCe (90 Hp) Start & Stop Crossover 30,000 km

Problem: ABS

Comfort: Seat and suspension comfort/support, though rear passengers might find the ride a bit firm at times. Engine soundproofing is acceptable, except during hard acceleration. No annoying wind noise reported, even on the highway. Excellent space-to-size ratio for city driving. Full LED headlights and LED cornering fog lights are very effective.

Pros: Comfortable and supportive seats and suspension
Cons: Rear ride can be a bit firm for passengers

Renault Captur 0.9 TCe (90 Hp) Start & Stop Crossover Mileage unknown

Problem: Gearbox

The engine is lively in the city and on the road, with good braking and road holding. However, the manual gearbox can be a bit notchy in gears 1, 2, 3, and 5. The soundproofing is insufficient, and the interior finish quality is lacking. The price is also a bit high, the GPS screen position is awkward, and the rear tinted windows are a bit dark.

Pros: Lively engine (city/road), Braking, Road holding
Cons: Manual gearbox slightly notchy on gears 1, 2, 3, 5, Insufficient soundproofing, Insufficient interior finish quality, Price, GPS screen position, Rear tinted windows
