The Renault Kangoo Can Do!

I run a local mobile catering business, and although my client base is pretty small, there came a point when the back of my old car just wasn't up to the job. Realising that squashed sandwiches wouldn't get me much repeat business, I visited a Renault Scotland dealership to have a look at a new Renault Kangoo.

The Renault Kangoo is everything I need in a car for my little business. The back seats fold down to make a great space in which I can store all the food that must be kept flat while in transit. There's lots of passenger room, too, so on the occasions when I'm catering for a larger event I can still easily take extra people along to help out by adapting the seats accordingly.

I'm really impressed with the interior features - I spend a lot of time whizzing around in my car, so I went for the Expression model, which has lots of great options to keep me (and the food) cool, calm and collected. I opted for sat nav, which is always a dream if I happen to cater an event further afield.

A feature I haven't yet used is the folding roof bar option, which adapts to make a fiddle-free roof rack. I'm not sure I'll ever need to carry quite that much food, but you never know! It's a good piece of innovation, nonetheless. The parcel shelf can also be moved around - that's so useful when I want to keep something separate or up out of harm's way.

I like the look of the Renault Kangoo, and it drives nicely. The safety features are reassuring for someone like me who spends a lot of time on the road. It may not be the sportiest of little cars, but if you run a small service like me, it's a dream come true.
