Summary
What does this car say about you?
Family is important to me and so is practicality.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
thought it was a good deal and surprised at spec and space
Would you buy this car again and why?
would buy a scenic again but with a bigger engine. Have found local renault dealer expensive for servicing so would need to consider this cost. also mpg is poor (ave.30) with rising fuel costs diesel might be more appropriate
What are you likely to buy next?
maybe another scenic but would look at the Picasso too. Also wonder about the Zafira for the benefit of the extra rear seats.
