Advantages: space, looks, safety

Disadvantages: nothing worth mentioning

got a scenic some 6 months ago. not new but new to me.

i have three kids and as such needed the space to get around, and this motor does it all with ease.

You sit higher than a saloon car, and combined with the large windows means you command a great view of the road. this combined with a five star ncat rating means that it is one of the safest cars on the road, which is good to know.

The car is quite economical for a people carrier. Currently i am getting around 45 to the gallon. The large diesel engine would make you think that the car is sluggish, when actually it is quite nippy. A great car for city and country drivers alike, it also looks good which i found to be a problem with a lot of the people carriers out there.


The great thing about the scenic is the flexability it gives you in terms of seating, as you can move all the seats independantly. Also having individual seats means it is easier to keep in with the new legislation about car seats. With three kids in a saloon car you cannot put in the three car seats that you need due to the handbrake going right down the middle of the chassis. This is not a problem with the scenic , and keeps you safe and legal.


Very comfortable to drive, the seats can be raised , or changed to give more support as needed. Also the steering column too can be moved. All of these actions are easy to perform, and add to the pleasureable experience.


a good car for a family i would reccommend it to anyone. Also i have not had to spend a penny on it. I think that they are reliable and economic, and from £17000 o the road you could not put your family in safer hands

Summary: fine example of why safe and reliable cant be beautiful.
