I must say I am very surprised. However I have driven the auto as a hire car. I think it's the CVT gearbox that wrecks the car. And 1.6 is tinny for that size body. Glad I got the 2.0T in manual. I thing that cvt gearbox is flawed.

I brought this car because it was cheap, (had it 2 years now) but did I get a shock. Some how an unmarked and un badged sport version slipped through the net. Will do 150kms in 4th, only need 6th after 185kms. Will 205kms before it'll start to slow and struggle. It's roomy, comfortable, economical, good looks, and fast. Its quicker off the line and around corners than my friends 5.7ltr r8 Hsv maloo. 1 tank of fuel,in the high way does 700km, cruise on 140. Heaps of room in the boot, plus you can fold the seats flat. Nice driving position, well weighted clutch and gears nice and close together. Auto lights, auto wipers, alloys, reverse sensors, hill start assist, auto climate control, CD player, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, electric mirrors that fold in when you lock it. For $27,990 with metallic paint 3 years capped price servicing at $399 and 5 year warranty and 5 year road side assist. I think it's a good deal.

I made a review in June 2011 and here I am sharing my views after owning Fluence for 1.5 years. This car cannot make it!!! In spite of much higher car prices these days, I am prepared to lose money and sell it off but there are no takers. Dealers told me they cannot quote me because I will lose too much and it is hard for them to sell this brand.
I drove to KL last month during school holidays. I struggled so much in North-South Highway. I tried to overtake big trucks on left lane and in midst of overtaking, I could see other cars coming from FAR distance in the right lane. I tried to filter left but this car is so underpowered that I actaully struggled to overtake the slow trucks. Those cars from FAR distance could get so near to me. At 120km/h, that was about the max this car could do. Anything more gave rattling and wobbly feel. Horrible! Just cannot make it!!! I also tried using the manual mode to change gears several times and gave up. Changing to lower gear would only hear louder engine noise but there was NO increase in power at all. Only consolation is this car will forever keeps me within the speed limit and never ever likely to get a speeding ticket.

By next month, I will have own Renault Fluence for 1 year. Although it is the newest and so-called the best model in Renault line-up here, it seems to be overstated. What a silly choice I made to buy this car and I have to live with this agony for a few more years because I cannot afford to get another car with the high car prices now. I have always been driving Toyota and decided to give a continental brand a try after reading the positive reviews of Fluence in newspaper and magazines. My test drive was ok too. After driving for 1 year, I have to say that all the reviews were overstated. How should I describe how underpowered it is? I have been stretching the engine to work so hard and I wonder how long the engine can endure my ‘hard treatment’. Nothing special to talk about the comfort, handling or efficiency of the car. Maybe, it is more consoling to say that the car is my basic transport tool for shuttering family and for personal errands, nothing more.
