Hello, at the moment we are driving a Mercedes 250D with which we are actually very satisfied. However, he already has the red badge and must be sold at the latest at the end of the year. Without that we need a little more space for a dog and so the purchase of a new vehicle is on. A Renault Espace would like us possibly. Now I ask the question which model it should become. Are there among the Espaces model series or vintages with more or less problems et are? Which series are considered more service-friendly or more robust – which are more susceptible to any typical problems (and which are these?)? Should we pay attention to a certain performance? So far we think about buying a diesel. The newer models look already visually significantly changed. Are there also technical changes that speak for or against to get a newer model. Since it should be a used one it would be interesting to know o b it would be better to buy an Espace from the newer series (since when is there any?) or was the series before that “matured” (for example children’s diseases?). Which year was the last with the narrow headlights and are they recommended? A lot of questions… I hope that maybe someone can answer me one or the other. Bye and a lot of greetings Ralf
