Renault Scenic in general Reviews

With Renault you got to be lucky to have a good car. Usualy we say we are unlucky when a car reveals itself to be a bad number, full of failures, since your neighbour's or friends' ones never had a glitch. But with Renault it's absolutely the opposite: Luck is required. But then, when you have it, it is the Eldorado ...

I am not a mechanic, or indeed mechanically minded. My Dad once tried to show me how an engine worked over breakfast when I was trying to cram for a German test and then got cross with me when I wasn't interested. So it does actually feel strange to feel that happy with a car that I've wanted to write a review on it. This is the first occasion in ...

Renault grand scenic expression 1.5 DTi Having both rented one of these vehicles and now owned one for a year I felt it time to review this vehicle. Unfortunately I can't find the exact catagory so I've decided it's suitable to place it here. Safety ratings - Having achieved a massive 34 points in the safety ...

Mixed feelings - Advantages: Space, Comfort, Climate Control - Disadvantages: Poor handling, Noisy at speed, Fuel Consumption

I have recently bought this car for my girlfriend. We have a child, and regularly carry 4 adults and a child in a child-seat in the car, and even in our estate car this proved to be uncomfortable to say the least. So we decided to look at the MPV market. Having a budget of £8,000, this meant we couldn't entertain the newer mini-MPVs such as ...

It was that time again, you know, the one you never look forward to, changing the car. I can't say I was looking forward to the endless trekking around the dealers, haggling for the best price etc and all the other pressure that goes with buying a replacement car. I recently changed jobs, the new one giving me the use of a Renault ...

I am driving a Scenic 1.9dTi for 18 months and 16000 miles and get more disappointed by the day. The car is full of great ideas and very versatile. It's comfortable to drive and all passengers enjoyed the ride, especially when you remove the middle seat in the back. The engine is powerful, economical and not too noisy. All in all it seemed to ...

as well as having an engine and four wheels, this car also has 4 doors and a boot which is quite good if you want to get in the car because you have to open the door to get in and if you did not have nay doors you would have to get in the roof or something and there is no ponit in getting in the roof really because then you would have to take it ...

Having owned a 1.6 8V Scenic Alize for the last three years the time has come to renew my car. I had a quick scan around the MPV market but nothing still appeals as much as the Scenic. The original 8V lacks power against some of the other makes but this has been addressed by Renault by making their engines 16V. My ...

I've never had much luck with cars, they are just like the romance I have had in my life. At first it's fun, full of passion and excitement, and then the niggles start to set in, the endless recriminations and wishing I hadn't bothered in the first place. Such was the problem when I had my Fiat Bravo (Fiat Bravo? I thought ...

Dear Scenic, I remember when I was young, like you, being told that there are two kinds of report: those that are embarrassing to give (for poor performance) and those that are embarrassing to receive (for good performance). This, my dear Scenic, is one of the latter, you’ll be pleased to hear. We bought you almost three ...

By far the most comfortable car I've been in. Although it's quite expensive to run and insure, it's well worth it. I visit my parents in Scotland quite regularly, and driving all that way on my own is nothing short of a pleasurable experience. It's quiet, spacious and I reckon the 'body roll' reputation is a load of ...

My family and I have had a Renault Scenic for about 2 years now and we are all very pleased with it. It has many good features such as it has plenty of space for 5 people and luggage if you go on holiday. This is a real advantage when buying a car. We also fnd that it is easy to drive but is not too big like some people mover cars. It does an ...

Why buy a Scenic you may ask? Well it was partly down to those excellent ads, but my wife and I did spend a lot of time on our research working through endless reviews in What Car and Which before coming to our short list of The Scenic, The Mondeo, The Audi A4 and The Zafaira. In the end the Scenic came out trumps because of ...

Just coming up to 12 months since we purchased our Scenic, only one problem, both the electric sunroofs decided they did not want to be closed one showery day in May, rang Renault Service and in half a day problem (loose connection in headlining was fixed, I think the driving position is great, you are sat high up, and can see over the top of ...

On august 1st I will have had my Senic one-year and it has been superb. I had the megane before this car and with 3 young teenaged sons things were getting rather squashed. My local dealer has always been very helpful so I decided to have a look at the senic. He let me test drive the senic for a morning so I drove it home put my 3 ...

This is without a doubt the most disastrous and BAD buy that I (and my dh) EVER have bought. Initially we where attracted by the space and versatility this car offered (we bought it Nov 97) and at the time it was the first of the so called mini people carriers around and we thought it was great. Well we got it home and for the ...

Since my original opinion the Scenic has reached the grand old age of 30 months and is nearing retirement, however it has now carried me 99800 miles with only a small problem. When on a general service the fitter badly installed a bearing and gasket on the gearbox which caused all the oil to leak out, this happened in the garage car park so no ...

We have been owners of the above family car since October 1999. It was a choice between that or the Kia Sedona, but I feel we made the right decision. We purchased the diesel version of this model and I must say it has definitely been the best purchase car wise. There is plenty of room for 3 young children all in car seats. Certainly from a ...

From the outside this is a pretty nice looking family car. I was never too sure about the old look scenic but this new shape suits me fine. It's a bit beefier than your normal car but then it's for moving people from A to B is relative comfort and let me tell you, there's bags of the stuff when you get this car. Recently ...
