Segment/Specs
Supermini
Has to be a consideration in the supermini segment.
Performance 
Smaller engines need to be pushed hard, having been designed with economy in mind, but they should oblige if pushed.
Driving
Grips well and will ride around town well. Ride is pretty good.
Feel
Diesels drone a little but the cabin is well insulated from exterior noise.
Price
Running costs are good, especially on the lower-rated engines and starting prices are competitive.
Quality
Good mechanicals and cabin.
Safety
Plenty of safety kit and a 5-star NCAP rating.
Space
Good space for four and increased boot capacity.
Equipment
Remote central locking, alloys and CD player are standard.
Alternatives
Fiat Punto, Peugeot 207
Pros
Well refined, good drive, good space.
Cons
Smaller engines aren't for those who enjoy their driving.
European/Continental/Old skool

My title basically describes the car, it was a pleasure to drive, a very smooth drive, as I said in the title Renault are trying to capture the essence of old skool French and new skool European, although I drove the basic model the "Authentique" 5dr 8V 1.2 Hatch but would recommend the later models.
