I’m with you Alan. I’ve just had a new Renault Captur (probably spelled wrong) for a week as a hire car.
A pretty mediocre car with a gear change that was truly horrible and was filled with electronic gadgets that took me two days to turn off. Probably loaded that way to make it appealing to people buying on the never-never/PCP.
The one saving grace, which you may appreciate, was that it had 60 section tyres providing a reasonably cushioned ride - better than my everyday modern.
