We purchase the Trafic new in December 2016. In January 2017 the door handle came out of the sliding door. It was repaired at the dealers.
Door handle came out again a few weeks later and we told they had used a new part to remedy the problem. A few weeks late the door handle came out again and this time they fixed it properly( after many wasted hours without the vehicle). Next was the clutch master cylinder which went. We were told a new part was fitted. A few weeks later the clutch master cylinder want again and it had to go back to be repai...Read more

I bought my van near new with 12,000 kms on the clock in June 2016. First tow episode was at about 14,000 kms when the clutch master cylinder bypassed leaving me stranded. On the upside, the tow, retrieval and repair was handled well and back on the road two days later. This van is great to drive and performs very well so no issues there. I had a check engine light back in December last year which was cleared and did not return immediately. The light came back on 2 months ago, same issue and it turned out to be a blocked manifold pressure senso...Read more

Got it new. It's called an auto..it's not it is a auto shift single clutch manual. BIG difference. First problem week 2. ERG valve melted. Causing errors which were constantly reset by Renault without repair. When repaired no parts. Two weeks turn around. Next radio stopped working. Software update removed temp on display did not fix the radio. AC hose was not connected so the water from AC filled interior under the floor. Notice when stinking water poured out the back when parked on a steep hill. Next transmission issues. Poor shifts, no shif...Read more

Bought a secondhand 2015 LWB Trafic with The Lifestyle pack, first registered in 2016 and has done 32000 km.
I've had side windows installed and a rear folding seat and removed the top part of the bulkhead.
It came with some rudimentary tradies drawers which I've adapted and carpeted to suit my needs. Even with the bulkhead down it's still very quiet to drive although I'm getting some road noise over 60kmh from new tyres I've had fitted on the front.
Economy is great, I drive about 30km every day for work and I'm still getting about 1100/120...Read more

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

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

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

I drive in Auto mode but tend to do the downshifts myself. At 107K I am again getting shudder in reverse after the same issue at 52K. That time resulted being stranded 1,600k from home. Supposedly modified slave cylinder fitted by dealer under warranty.
Not being able to adjust dash lights or having the option to install same seats as the Master are other issues. The AM band on the radio doesn't suit Australian radio frequencies.

My engine fan came off at 52K. My window motors both sides stopped working due to poorly fitted plugs about 30K...Read more

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

The "auto" transmission can have a very nasty shift down to first when slowly approaching a stop, and sometimes the change up to second is like a learner driver in a manual. It has been back to the dealer for a factory reset 3 times, and on the fourth, they changed the clutch. But it still happens. It also tries to change up too soon when climbing a hill, resulting in a slow-down and a change back to first - on a slippery steep driveway, this results in some wheelspin on takeoff and some nasty clutch smells.

Other than that, it is a great va...Read more

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
