Waited 6 months for delivery because I ordered it fully optioned. I am also glad I did not post a review within a few days and have allowed the excitement to subside. Now with 2000 km under the belt I have noticed a squeaky clutch pedal and a squeaky drivers seat. Let's also mention that the seats are terrible and too small and uncomfortable. They don't seem to hold up well with the fabric showing signs that it just is not going to last. After washing the van I noticed water had leaked inside the cabin as I found a small puddle beneath the clut...Read more
ch pedal. This is not a door seal leak as I traced the water coming from beneath the dashboard. Washing the van also will give you an idea of how the panels feel and for me it felt like everything was put together with cheap plastic clips. I am expecting more issues because the van just feels cheap. Don't buy the genuine RENAULT carpets. They will fall to bits and crumble away. I cannot believe hoe genuine OEM products are so inferior to after market offerings. These cheap synthetic carpet mats will dissolve under your feet. The plastic round clips that clip onto the tabs to hold the carpets in place will all come off, they will fall apart to bits within a month. I am so upset that I paid $80.00 for junk that actually feel like junk even when new. I'm not a happy Renault owner and only because my previous van was a Mercedes Vito I had something to compare it to. Mercedes is worth every extra dollar they ask for. I am looking forward to the day I sell this crap and get back to a quality piece of engineering.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good Van, just needs some tweaking...
I've had the van since Dec16 and have only covered 3500km, but so far so good in most areas.
Good Points: good response from 1.6L twin turbo engine, economy is ok at 9L/100km (still needs running in), rides well at highway speeds, the extra length in the cargo area is welcome over my previous 2014 Trafic, quiet in the cabin for a work van, Bluetooth works well, the button for extra grip is a good inclusion for me on sandy, boggy work sites, build quality seems much improved over the previous model, reverse camera is placed high on the tailgat...Read more

Wow! Just Wow
I am glad I waited 5 months for delivery. Nearly lost my patience and went to buy a VW. I test drove Hyundai iload, Toyota hiace, Ford transit. LDV. VW Transporter, The wait was worth it although not ideal. I optioned my LWB with rear tailgate in place of barn doors as all barn door vans decrease visibility which I didn't want to compromise. This van is a dream to drive and performance to boot. 5 year/200000km warranty. Pro+ Service centre which offers van replacement if your vehicle needs to be off the road. Perfect for someone who's income so...Read more
lely relies on being on the rd. The quality and feel is solid and quiet, air con has worked perfectly on Victoria's hot summer days. I chose the Convenience pack option $2000 & keyless start a $200 option that I definitely haven't regretted no need to insert a key up to 200 times a day. I have halved my fuel bill in my first month. Previous van 2014 transit and VW 7speed auto transporter..900km stop start driving 80litres.. amazing...after careful calculations prior to purchase comparing all 5 vans the Renault Trafic for total vehicle cost over 5 years was the cheapest by far.. worst was the Toyota Hiace. ( still can't understand why anybody would want a 1980s performing van in 2017) back to the Renault, yearly service or 30000km. Nothing compares.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Renault Traffic Van
Van ordered June 2015, delivered 2016 Feb. We got lifestyle pack, heated seats, navman, etc.....we also optioned to have two sliding doors, either side and the barn doors for the rear.
Van looks great, sleek, clean smart. sounds solid when doors closed. Paint finish, looks good and solid.
Fogs, lights all look good. Europe’s top selling van.
Anyway what I have found so far;
I have telephoned Renault and been ignored and found my first Renault experience infuriating. I called about issues, eg seat belt and was told it was Australian standard...Read more

Solid bit of gear
I have the LWB version and surprisingly I'd have to say it drives like a car - something you wouldn't expect from such a large vehicle. Couldn't live without the reversing camera - probably prefer if it was dash mounted.
Struggling to work out how the interior lights work in the back - they seem a bit random, but it's just a small thing really. Otherwise love it.

Love this Van....
To drive this van, it feels like driving a suv. Quite, powerful twin turbo for 1.6 engine and safe me money. I did drive from Sydney to Canberra and back to Sydney, it only takes 26 ltrs fuel. I love the cruise control, very easy to use.
This the best van i ever had.
July 15th 2017 Update: My second Renault Traffic but The crew version
This is my second Renault traffic but in the Crew 6 Seaters. Bought it t brand new on January 2017.
My family loved this van for trips.
I have no problem so ever till now.
I feel bad to hear from some owner got some issues with Renault x82.
But anyway, again Im very happy to have this van for a family trip.

Way better than expected
Have a look at the 2015 Renault Trafic - I'm really glad I did.
At first, I wasn't going to even give this van a look because I thourght they'd be the same underpowered slug like may others, but in doing my homework looking at pretty much all the vans available today, I had to see if the sales blurb was as what was said.
Having the need to work out of a van for the last 25yrs+ I can say this is the best one I've had so far against ford transit, toyota hiace, mitisbushi express, vw transporter.
There is plenty of room, the cockpit is sensibl...Read more

Has anyone had problems with the handsfree I can hear fine but people I'm talking to struggle to hear me?

No problem's on my van. Maybe keep all the windows up, restart your phone and all its Bluetooth connections, sit closer to the mic, speak louder. If no change, take it back to the dealer.
Haven't had any issues or complaints from the person on the other end. I find I have to turn the volume up a bit. I've got a Lifestyle pack with the MediaNav, I'm not sure if this would cause any difference though.
Yep rubbish Bluetooth, cannot auto connect every time, can go thru the manual connect up to 10 times while driving to get connection. Never loads the address book. Almost have to stop to hear the caller and they have same problem.No recognition of the problem from Renault dealer.
Ever wondered why there are so many medianavs for sale on eBay ?

Now just on 20,000km and apart from a new radio head unit replacement (bad radio reception), this van is without doubt, the best on the market. My fuel consumption has stayed on 9L/100km, however, I d... Read more
o drive it like a twin turbo car and not a van... and have roof bars and ladders tied on, so to be expected. I've changed the oil twice (5000km & 15000km) and will continue to change it every 10,000km to be on the safe side. Nothing else to report, except to buy one and forget about any other make of van. It just does everything well that you would expect in a van. Now, we just need to outsell the Hiace and my work here is done.
