This car was an ex-rental, less than a year old - got a good price.
Costs
It's not a diesel, but it's alright for a petrol car of this size. Good insurance!

On the road
Driving
This model has poor body roll, but this has been rectifed in the new Scenics. Hey, I haven't tipped it yet!
Performance
Poor for overtaking or performance past 40mph. Quite nippy in the town with good acceleration. Loading isn't much of an issue here.

Living with it
Reliability
Can't complain.
Image
I'm not a 'trendy' guy to be honest. I don't go out of my way to buy things that make me look 'cool'.
Comfort
Compare this to ANY normal sized car (not an MPV) and you'll choose the Scenic every time. Alright, I haven't been in an expensive BMW yet, but the leg and headroom is fantastic.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser fitted as standard. Radio requires a PIN if the battery is removed. Renault immobiliser wires are supposed to be unmarked, which is good.
Service
I've heard bad things about Renault UK, but always get good service from my local (non-Renault) garage.
