3000 miles in a Renault 4: Is it even better than my Renault 5?

And just like that: the Renault 4 has been on sale for a year already. It seems hardly believable, doesn’t it?

It’s partly because it still looks so new and distinctive, but also perhaps because the towering success of its smaller Renault 5 sibling has cast a long shadow in which this little electric SUV has been beavering away quietly, similarly impressing the critics and amassing a decent market share but without quite so much pomp and fanfare to mark its achievements.
