When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
When did Renault begin charging extra for white?
Late in September I ordered a new Renault Clio for delivery at the beginning of this month. In early October I changed the colour to white, which was not a problem to the dealer. I was informed last week that it would not be available until the end of this month. Since then I've seen on the Renault website that they are now charging €540 extra for a white Clio, whereas when I placed my order the extra charge did not apply to white. However, as my original order was for a colour that carried the extra charge I would not be surprised if the dealer tried to hit me for this extra and consequently am wondering when precisely Renault introduced it.

New Toyota Verso or Prius+ for our family MPV?
Hi,
We are planning to purchase a new MPV this year. We've three kids so need a good sized five-seater with two additional seats for occasional use. We've narrowed the list to the following: Toyota Verso - looking at the 1.6 D-4D - or the Toyota Prius+. We do around 17,000km a year with about 5k of that long motorway journeys and the rest short school runs, local shops etc. We've never owned a diesel and I'm a little concerned with going that route given our usage is mostly in town and I've heard horror stories about EGR/DPF problems . The Verso (Luna Skyview) is going to work out about €3K cheaper than the Prius+ so my head is saying Verso but perhaps the Prius is a better fit for our usage patterns? I'd appreciate any advice!
