Dont worry Rich-D, I just needed the car so much I went out and bought it!
Regarding ABS, With all these drivers aids coming out, I feel that it is taking away the control of the car from the driver, I say if I want to lock all 4 wheels I damn well will.
I understand the pros and cons of ABS and other drivers aids, at the end of the day its upto the driver to control his vehicle not some box of electronics.
I think its more manly to have no ABS, all these girly drivers aids!!!
Dont worry about the lack of ABS just drive it normally and you wont get caught out. Ive braked pretty heavily in mine and not managed to lock up yet.
Make sure you run it properly, if you look in the manual it will say no higher than 3500 for the first 625 miles then go for it. Apparently Renault are saying the engines are bench tested sounds like pants to me. It is important as ECUs can act as black box type recorders now and it is possible to tell if a car has been run in or not. Some manufactorers, not sure about Renault but Lotus definetly, are using this as an excuse not to honour warrenties, you may need it. Mine has been back in to get small bits and pieces sorted out....
