No costs apart from fuel and cleaning on a sunday at the total station.

Driving
Okay for a 7 year old design. Minor tweaks keeps it going. Not the best, but comfortable ride nonetheless. Position not the best either.
Performance
Nippy, and a match for rivals at the time. Could get a good speed on a long run.

Living with it
Reliability
No major problems to report. It was near the end of its production life, so all niggly problems would have been sorted years ago.

Who rates Scenics for image?
Comfort
Very bouncy seats. Has the alcantara leather which is light. Spills ran off the seat. Soft and supple seats make for no numb bums, but driving position is a nightmare. Gear lever set too far down. Need to have arms like Mr. Tickle.

Security and Service
Security
It works, rather sensitively after a neighbours cat jumped on its roof. But i'd rather it work than not.
Service
Well advised and informed. Helpful and explain in detail if you are dumb (like me).
