Can I make a Profit on this RENAULT CAPTUR?

I love the first gen Captur…my missus loves hers..I bought it new and it will last her through her remaining driving career….the thing I like is there’s plenty of headroom for us tall guys and it’s easy to get into for us old guys..they seem to have surpassed Citroen for quirky design features….

[@cmartin_ok]

That colour scheme is known to Captur owners as "Guinness". The great advantage of unpainted plastics on the lower front bumper, rear bumper, doors and wheelarch trins is that it disguises any parking scrapes. I've found Michelin Crossclimates the best tyres to fit

[@juicypea8392]

Those rusty wheel nuts need to go though

[@Roadkill7878]

Agree. That really wasn’t good for my OCD 😂

[@g.d2450]

or even stick on a set of plastic wheel nut covers/caps. you can get a set of 20 for under a fiver. they look ok too for all the price of them as some tramp stole the set off my wifes astra k so ordered ones of eBay and done the job

I do love a Renault! Still driving my 2010 Clio in metallic blue! Done 112,000 miles and passed it’s mot on a clean sheet this year, best first car I’ve had and for it’s age it’s not too bad, has satnav and cruise control x

[@philcrockford5534]

Bought my wife a Tce120 Signature a couple of years ago and she loves it (purple with silver roof). Loads of kit, 1.2 petrol, and very comfy. Rear legroom is non existent but not an issue for two of us and a dog! Usual French flimsy plastics mean the heated seat switches disappear inside the seat trims and a few squeaks from the dash, but otherwise a good car!

[@mjolnir_swe]

You can slide the rear seat bench back if you want more legroom :)

[@jeffallinson8089]

I was nervous before I bought my 2015 Captur (from 2 years old) as I have heard so many horror stories about French cars but I needent have worried; its been bulletproof. You should have mentioned how well equipped these things are, the list of toys is very long indeed, you get a lot for your money. I was shocked about how much you didn't like the mk 2 though.

[@nickwebb9290]

I've never driven a Captur but a friend of mine is a huge fan. His late father had a couple and they were near perfect for people who have lost bit of suppleness shall we say. Small footprint but easy to get in and out of. Enjoying this French period in your recent reviews!

I used to be a sales rep for Renault back when these ones were new, and it really is a very sound car this. Not really a lot wrong with them and they are as you say quite clever in many ways. Too bad they kind of fell through the market a bit in Norway. I’d argue the best one is the 2015 HH-model with the 1.2 petrol automatic.

[@andrewroberts4736]

I was waiting for the "blown the budget" moment. 😁 Hope you make the full profit.

[@mikescott2496]

Yes no dipstick and the lack of temperature gauge is a mystery to me! The basics of a healthy motor, I buy older cars to put huge milage on, good service history then a good service including gearbox oil change then regular checks and upkeep and I have taken many cars over 200,000 miles then sold them on to people who have had many happy years of service after me! Basic maintenance and checks have become an inconvenience!

[@eggy1962]

add in TPMS and oil drainage that requires suction and no dipsticks ...i think manufacturers need a good ass kicking...oh i forgot the nasties of wet belts and waterpumps that are integral and cause engine seizure if they fail....some real crap out there

[@eeclass20]

I've had two of these as holiday hire cars (and a Clio and Kadjar)and enjoyed all 4, I was impressed with the 0.9 in TCE spec (Kadjar I think had a bigger petrol engine). However when I thought about a Captur as a UK purchase a test drive of a RHD car put me of , I couldn't get comfortable with the pedal arrangement.

[@RideOnTime1]

Matt needs a TV programme pronto. He's a great presenter and his dry humour is brilliant!

[@gileshalliwell3591]

Whenever I hear the words “Nissan Juke” I’m reminded of an interview where “Car magazine” interviewed renowned designer Giorgetto Guigaro and he was asked which car he wished he’d designed, Citroen DS, and which he was glad he didn’t (!) Nissan Juke…

[@Lizzard-t]

We brought a 14 plate dynamique nav to replace our Qashqai. Was my wife's idea. But must say was impressed. Especially the cream with Black roof colour. Quite classy.the only thing I couldn't quite grasp was the "eco" button near the gear leaver , which was a bit like driving it in limp mode. All in all a very capable car . Fantastic video as usual.

[@MadLFC]

I went from a Mk II Qashqai ntec plus to a Signature Nav Captur and although it was a step down in refinement it's still been a decent car overall.

[@davidhalfacre7220]

I’ve just bought a 13 plate one in the same colour but a 1.5 dci, great little car and really enjoy driving it

I saw, a year old Mercedes S Class in my local Tesco car park. Rusty wheel nuts. I would do my NUT at the main dealer.

Must be really good car considering it is French and Matt likes it🤣. Anyway, had a Clio IV with this engine, same year. It is actually still at home. Rock solid reliable, love this thing. Was driving it my first years of driving carrier so you can imagine how it was. Car was floored a lot 😅

[@snbala]

For the MOT guy to not see those rear tyres as a fail is unbelievable and something fishy is going on there I think. For the owner to run on near 10 year old tyres too, just wow. On another note, I think many will have anything over a Nissan Juke too lol.

[@andymccabe6712]

Have you considered the possibility that the MOT guy er, knows the rules....and you don't..!? ...just a mad thought....

[@williamfence566]

Had a hire captur on a 15 plate for one month just after it was new. Not my cup of tea but company was paying. I remember having to get an SD card for the nav to work ( E bay had loads ) Hire company didn't provide them as they went missing. Put it back on E bay after using. I agree the seat covers are a great idea.

odd tyres dont often scream red flag to me. if its just one axle that is odd, and the tread is only 1-2mm difference, it just screams puncture to me, one thats too bad to fix. especially when its good tyres, instead of two of the cheapest budgets around

[@RoderikvanReekum]

Nice video. A 0.9 litre engine in a reasonably large car, can it tow a caravan aswell? Would be great in the alps. Looks like a decent/practical car besides that.

[@slider2c2]

I driven the engine in a different car for around 5000 miles. It would probably tow a small caravan but it would struggle. Either go for the diesel but it can be more problematic or for another petrol engine. Stay away from the 1.2 TCE especially made before 2016. The best choice would be the 1.3 TCE but it is expensive

[@reececollison5101]

It’s a very reliable little engine. You needn’t worry about it because it only produces 90bhp, which isn’t too much strain on the engine but plenty enough for the car

[@JedHall-t4k]

I would buy a diesel captur if your towing a caravan.

[@michaellongstaff4624]

I had one and liked it but definitely underpowered.

[@eggy1962]

@@michaellongstaff4624 i agree its just adequate , the 1.3 are much better , i have driven my sisters dacia duster with the 130bhp 1.3 that flies along and i have heard the 150 bhp version is even better

This is a really cool looking car, I do like the colour combo. As always Matt, you’ve made a great car for a new owner to enjoy. Great video, I really enjoyed watching it❤.

[@Tom-bp6no]

Had a rental Clio with the same engine, it wasn’t fast but seemed quite entertaining to drive with a nice 3cyl hum. Pressing the eco button to off seemed to give it a smidge more power on long inclines.

[@peterowen4456]

Think the eco button does really hit performance. I've had it switched on on my hybrid Honda Jazz thinking I was doing the right thing but decided to turn it off the other day. Like a different car and chat on forums indicate that the fuel saving is minimal anyway.

[@Darth_Buttercup]

As far as I can tell, on mine, all the eco button does is make the eco light go on and off.

[@fatbelly27]

Not sure I'd be brave enough to buy a Renault but that looked like a nice car. I probably wouldn't have chosen Pirellis for the tyre as I think they are overpriced for their quality. I'd be looking for a deal on Bridgestones or Hankooks.

[@UnusSedLeo-w5l]

I own a 2009 Twingo 2 GT since 2019 and... no worries. The smaller the French car, the better 😊.

[@gravemind6536]

Don't rate Bridgestone tyres at least not the Turanza range they feel far too wallowy and they seriously understeer, don't know anything about Hankook except they're a decent tyre thats almost considered a proper premium tyre. I have the new Pirelli Cinturato P7C2 and they're brilliant very comfortable, quiet and good on fuel all whilst having responsive steering and outstanding grip. I'd only go for Pirelli, Michellin or Continental when tyre shopping. I do drive on Bridgestone UAP 002 tyres all the time at work and they're very good but you won't find them on anything weighing less than 7.5 tonnes lol.

[@stevena9305]

He went for Pirelli to match the ones already on the car. Probably shouldn’t have used the word chosen though.

[@robertmarsh3588]

Love the look of this generation Captur though never driven one. Shame the latest model has lost its good looks and simplicity.

[@phiscoe]

Matt -don’t know how you find the time to make such professional videos but they’re great, love watching. One question I have is about how you calculate your profit. You never seem to add in cost of the warranty I assume you are obliged to provide. Do you have to buy this externally or do you just take the risk as part of the sale?

[@sandwormgod4771]

I had to look for this one. Another interesting video. Fingers crossed on this one, it looks and drives fine, so it should fly out.

Another great video. The Captur looks like a nice car for someone. I see Renault still excel at ergonomics with the placement of their switchgear. 😅

[@FatHead1979]

Only the French would think it's a sensible ergonomic choice to have an "A/C off" button, instead of an "A/C on" button!

[@dornsmichel_1364]

The idea is: With automatic climate control you aren't really supposed to turn the A/C off, since the car handles this automatically. Mercedes also did this in the early 2000s. Opel/Vauxhall used to have the A/C on/off setting within a submenu in the infotainment screen.

[@thomasyoung4804]

I've seen several times on cars around this age having the original tyres on the back and replacements on the front. On our (at the time) 2yr old car the front tyres were worn down to about 5mm whereas the rears had 7+mm on them. I requested the back wheels be swapped to the front and the dealer was trying to advise me against it. I replied that I was willing to take the risk of having slightly less tread on the back of my car so I can replace all four tyres at the same time when they had worn down evenly

[@fatbelly27]

My local tyre place has done thar for me loads of times. Then when new tyres are needed I buy a new matching set

Went to view a car today and you know what I followed your route around the car all 4 tyres matched and spot on service history . All buttons and air con checked as well. Another great up load.

[@pammy5260]

I bought a car and sit in it and started it up and looked out for smoke from exhaust listen for rattling or vibrations and then check stereo works and then thats it. But all windows fromt and back worked only to realise hours later that the passenger side electric folding mirror doesnt adjust anymore. Cant tilt the angles or height on it. Air conditioning along with cruise control is two things i never use though but car has it all anyway.

[@markreville6917]

The fuel consumption is no doubt far higher than the diesel. A 0.9L three cylinder petrol will require fairly hard revving.

[@alexdalgleish1061]

With Renault if plate starts with L believe their head office in Herts. If an H it's via their office at Southampton Docks where cars come in I believe. Like Fiat, lot of hire cars registered.

[@thomas05ish]

I thought you were repainting the front bumper but you only mentioned buffing the paint at the end. Sitting higher means the car is easier to get into as you said: at your time of life I suppose that’s important!!!!😂

Renault make much better all round cars these days compared to twenty years ago. I owned a 2001 Scenic and it was a dog of a car. Ignition coils and suspension breakages galore. I own a 2015 Captur Signature Nav now and after two years it's been a decent if not spectacular car. I have the flame red/black colour which does look nice when polished up but the interior still has some cheap plastics that thankfully don't exist in the much more refined mark II.
