You should be fine assuming you get it registered with Renault you will have the normal 3 yr warently.

Some garages can be awquard but then again there awquard with UK cars as well so you cannot blame them on being import cars.

And as long as its an EU import. There were some imported not too long ago from Malta (I think), and warranty was only a year.

Well Cyprus was my first choice ... but then I decided that since Greece is in the EU at least of part of Cyprus is probably in the EU

And of course Malta only became EU members on 1st May 2004

Mines an import from France and it had two years warranty left on it. The imports dont have alarms, just immobilisers - so youll have to bear that in mind as extra cost.

Theyre much cheaper though.
