Driving it
What's it like to drive?
really nippy - I was concerned that being the 1.5 diesel and the grand scenic it could be sluggish, but am amazed at the power and torque. I have come from a 1.9 dTi (100bhp) scenic, and it's quite a lot quicker than that. It also seems to be very good economy, with the computer showing 50+ mpg
What's it like to park?
not that good - visibility worse than the old shape scenic. it's really big as well which makes it more difficult. parking sensors would definitely be good even on the front (you can't see where the car ends at the front)
