Renault Grand Scenic (2004 - 2009) 1.6 VVT Dynamique 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I fell for a practical joke

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They wouldn't touch Renault with a long stick

Would you buy this car again and why?

Never - one of the least reliable car manufacturers in the world and it shows.

What are you likely to buy next?

Honda or VW.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,800

When did you buy the car?

January 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

No - Not sure the history of the car is accurate. Either that or it was literally built by monkeys..working blind with one arm tied behind their back.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

the same as all dealers are. Wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

What's it like to drive?

sluggish. Can hardly get up a hill with only one person in it

What's it like to park?

Fine

Have you had any problems with the car?

Has anything gone wrong? Hmmm. Within the space of three years - the head gasket had to be replaced at a cost of £1200 - the back electric windows open and close at will and have had to be disconnected because they get stuck open- - the air blower has only two settings, not working and tornado. - The handbrake cable has had to be replaced at a cost of £660 (only a renault dealer can do it) - the car has been recalled to fix a problem with the handbrake across the range (apparently it turns itself on while you're driving at speed which Renault say can be dangerous!) - The electronics on the dash are going nuts. They reset themselves and the range indicator seesaws up and down at will so you can't tell if you've got 400 miles left or 3 miles. - The sensor which regulates emissions

What's most practical about your car?

Good space, high roof - nifty compartments to hide things away

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Auto lights.
