2002 Renault Vel Satis 3.5 V6 Initiale Road Test & Review - Matty's Cars

Renault wanted to shake up the executive car market back in 2002. They certainly got some attention, launching not one but two equally quirky big luxury cars. The Vel Satis (and it's even more garish sister the Avantime) were big on space, equipment and all round luxury. This did not translate into sales though, with Renault not even selling a third of the small sales target they had for the Vel Satis. Now one of the rarest modern classics on the road, what's the Vel Satis like today?

(Special thanks to Tom for allowing me to review and roadtest his car)

Car insurance disclaimer
The "Go compare" and having a "cheeky drive" segment was a reference to when (off camera) I drove the car up the street and turned it round and parked it for Tom. I was however temporarily insured when driving in this video. This was after Tom unexpectedly asked me to drive to the petrol station for him, that I decided to include the short road test as part of the then not so cheeky drive😆
