7 (OH NO 10) REASONS WHY YOU WANT THE RENAULT TALISMAN NOW

Yes, I saw my neighbor rolling his eyes again. I have actually been assigned a fresh Renault again. “Isn't that car a bit big for you?” asked the same neighbor. I could keep it short. No. The Talisman is what you want in life. And here's why.

1. It greets you with its own Renault tune, making it feel like you are recognized and welcomed by a loyal friend who is eager to go on an adventure with you.

2. When you open the door, your seat slides back so getting out is easy and much more charming.

3. It has massage seats (at least, the Initiale Paris version) where you can choose from the options relaxing, invigorating, and lumbar. Now I don't quite know what lumbar means, but it's divine.

4. It locks itself automatically when you walk away from the car and it also folds its mirrors in for you. They will, by the way, open up again as soon as you unlock it. The lights also stay on for a moment so you can find your way in case of darkness.

5. It has adaptive cruise control (which has helped me overcome my tunnel fear) that adjusts the car's speed if some slowpoke is driving 80 in front of you while you are allowed to go 100. Once you pass the family snail, the Talisman will ensure that you maintain a constant speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

6. Its name is Talisman and Talisman means ‘bringer of luck’ and that's what you want.

7. It has a trunk where you can lie down both horizontally and vertically, which means a lot of suitcases, clothing bags, boxes of wine, picnic baskets, fresh shoes, firewood, items you want to sell on King's Day, and everything else you want to transport.

8. It has a kickstart that takes you from 0 to 100 in 7.6 seconds. And it gives a nice feeling.

9. It has various ‘moods’ that you can adjust to your mood. Do you want eco or sporty or just standard? The Renault Talisman adapts and shows with a special color in the interior what mood you are in.

10. It radiates success and anyone who radiates success (and is also called ‘bringer of luck’) simply cannot go wrong.
