Renault Megane Scenic 2.0 RXE 5d Auto (ABS) (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Well worth the money for such a large, practical car.
Costs
Haven't had cause to spend a lot on it yet, but the parts costs are similar to my previous cars and well within the budget of the home mechanic.

Driving
Very comfortable to drive. Doesn't roll around in corners and the steering is very light, but precise. High driving position is good, although the view over the bonnet can be a bit restrictive when parking in busy car parks.
Performance
2.0 engine has plenty of power and the automatic transmission makes for a very easy ride. Have to be careful to watch the speed though as it is quite easy to be going faster than you think you are.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems as yet, bit of a muddle trying to remove the battery for charging though.
Image
The image is of a practical family car. Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Comfort
No complaints from any of the family yet. The kids like the tables in the back and the ability to slide the rear seats forward allows them to recline their seats enough to go to sleep on long journeys.

Security and Service
Security
Cat 2 immobiliser is good. No alarm fitted as standard, but it's not the kind of car that people seem to want to steal where I live!
Service
Very helpful. Kindly gave me the radio security code after I had disconnected the battery and dumped it!
