Thread: Renault Scenic

No actual experience, but looked at them as a car for my son & his family. Very impressed by the numerous different ways of configuring it, lots of stowage spots (so many you are likely to forget where you put things). Less impressed by reviews citing poor quality and reliability issues. Can't remember what these were though - ended up crossing it off the list.

That's not so good to hear. My mate had a Clio and it was a corking car. In three years it only had one minor warranty claim against it. I was hoping these would be similar.

Let me put it this way..

Your Land Rover was built where ?

Your Lotus was built where ?

Your Mini was built where ?


And Renaults are built where ? FRANCE, that's bloody where. Get over it.

We were thinking about getting a renault Scenic to fill the gap. They are a bit of a orphan, but because of that they are fairly cheap. Less than 15k for a 3/4 yo one with pretty low K.

Has anyone got any experience with these?

I had one of these from new (2002) and I would rave about it.
They are an excellent car for a family, very versatile and believe it or not they can fly along.
I found the quality and reliability excellent.
The price as you said, now is excellent. I found them very reliable, incredible fuel consumption, and very reasonably priced when it came to dealer servicing and parts etc.
If it had 7 seats, I would still have it.

I take all that on board

It's better than buying from Japan though :O

In addition to this, I have to continue my campaign to stay on the lunatic fringe of car ownership at all costs. People will think I have sold my sole if we buy a Honda Jazz. :0

The other compelling round is I like playing the field so to speak. I've never owned more than 1 car from any brand. I'd like to add Renault to the list. :O

In order of ownership (current to beginning) the brands I have experienced are... ... .land rover...MINI...Toyota..lotus...Mazda... Ford ....nissan... mitsubishi. There are still a few brands to get through.

Why not get an early TD4 auto - better car for about the same money. The early problems are gone and it is still a Landrover.
