Is the electric Renault 5 any good?
All versions of the Renault 5 have fairly big 18in wheels, yet the ride is pretty comfortable by small electric car standards. The R5 copes with poorly surfaced roads better than the ë-C3 or Cooper Electric, for example, and there’s enough control to keep things composed along faster, undulating country lanes. Especially on a small, fun and characterful car such as the Renault 5, which has been a perfect companion for me. It’s easy to drive around town, fun to fling around on a twisty B-road and quiet on the motorway, plus the ride strikes an ideal balance between comfort and composure.All versions of the Renault 5 have fairly big 18in wheels, yet the ride is pretty comfortable by small electric car standards.
