Renault 4 Plein Sud
Discussion
I had a look at one last weekend.
I currently have a 5 and fancied the 4 for the mrs.
The front is fine, headroom no problem.
The rear seats are very high. I’m 5’11 and my head was against the roof even with the roof open. The opening is forward of the rear passenger head area.
Because the rear seats are so high, with the roof open, it did feel like you were riding a roller coaster though!
I’d still have one as I don’t sit in the back!
The mrs isn’t so keen based on range and boot size event though we often don’t go that far or carry that much!

Thanks - how do you find the hard top as a car?
Mine won’t arrive for another 5-6 weeks, but I got it on the strength of the test drive. It’s not far from a 5 in the feel good stakes, but with much more room in the back, which we need. I think it looks great, and the range is usable for us, to only charge once, sometimes twice a week.
Now A-B, moving people/commuting/whatever carsare all as capable as each other, feel good factor is a large part, and then the small little things make up just as much of the choice. The single button on the dash for ADAS disable, physical volume buttons on top of screen, and no massive non integrated iPad screen are the touches that just made sense to me
Test drove a non sunroof Iconic+ today and was impressed - it's no rocketship but nippy, smooth and comfortable with great seats. The dealer had a Plein Sud on display but said they weren't available until November. What I did notice that the Iconic+ had a subwoofer under the boot floor instead of the extra storage space - loses some practicality. It also had a sort of slightly rubbery recycled seat and dash material instead of the woven fabric in the Techno trim which also didn't feel quite as nice although probably easier to clean. I also prefer the alloy design on the lower spec car. The downside of the lower spec car is it misses heated seats and steering wheel.
Sitting in the back of the Plein Sud I had just about enough headroom at 6'1" but it does feel much more open. I think headroom in the front is actually more vs the standard car.
Found a lease deal for £249 a month plus 12 months upfront for a 2 year / 6k miles deal for the Iconic+ Plein Sud - seems decent. They did say it could be delivered next month as well so not sure why the dealer told me they weren't available until November in the UK .
So not sure which version to get now.
