Good review, I really like how carbuyer does their review. Sad that they don’t produce much videos.

Love the dungarees. Plus she's got a fab personality I reckon. A charming breath of fresh air. Oh and the Zoe is a great EV.

Carbuyer back on form with a likeable, entertaining new presenter. So good not to have to watch Steve Fowler.

Great review. I really like the Renault Zoe and generally I'm not a renault fan due to the reliability and build quality. The biggest issue for me, is that the government is pushing people to change to EV cars, except for those who live in Flats or external/street parking spaces there's no way to charge these cars.

Good review. We purchased a ZE135 as a Fiesta replacement, and it's super with a little bit more room inside as well!

I'm sorry but is it possible in 2020 to have a car without even change the height of the seats?

I once did the Applecross pass anti clockwise and got 91 miles of regen in the R110 - I am testing B mode tomorrow :)

I was wondering what happened to Nicola from Heart FM but there she is :)
