    I have a Renault 5, was one of the first owners of the new EV model! It’s a fantastic car, but interestingly, the whole interior material is… denim! Seats, trim, everything. Even the inside of the roof! And it’s made out of recycled blue jeans. How cool is that?

      Oh, good. My first instinct was that they’d use that plastic fake leather stuff. I really dislike fake leather. It’s not very durable and really difficult to mend when damaged. And it’s so very sticky in summer. Denim sounds like an amazing option though.

      It’s so ugly, though. It looks like a Fisher Price toy. Nothing like the original R5. Same for the 208, this generation of cars is horrible. Massive square tanks.
