Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) 1.6 VVT Extreme 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I love family and comfort as well as style is important to us.

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

People who have been is the car do like it and the rear seats give the passengers lots of leg room. They also like the drinks trays on the back of the front seats.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No I feel because the car is not suited to how our family has changed and grown and a car which could offer high performance and style and still be efficient on fuel would be better for us.

What are you likely to buy next?

I am very open to looking for a new car which could fulfil my new needs. Looking good for work use and also ideal for family use on the weekends!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£12,500

When did you buy the car?

November 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

We do not feel we got a good deal. It was out first ever new car and we where told a lot of things about the car that where not true when we got the car. We felt although they were nice enough on the day, we felt the person dealing with us was not honest about the car being good on fuel etc.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We were about to have a child and wanted the space of the Scenic offered inside. We also wanted to be comfortable when travelling and a nice overall look to the car.

What was the dealer like?

The dealership was very open with a small waiting area. WE were kept waiting for quite a while before we got to sit down with someone to discuss the car.

What's it like to drive?

The car is quite heavy and even more so if I have passengers and a full boot. Its quite smooth on the road and I like the speedometer which is a very clear digital display. It can be hard to see past the drivers side front window bar, if you are small like myself, because of the angle of the window support which leads to the roof.

What's it like to park?

It parks well but getting out of your car in a small space can be a problem because the doors are very wide. This can also be a problem when you have children in the back which you are trying to get out of the car without damaging your doors or someone else's car in the process.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Overall we have not had any faults with the car. It was difficult to find parts for the car however after an accident as they had to be sourced from abroad. It isn't great on petrol and because I now use it for my business it really eats the fuel!! The bonnet is a nightmare to open and I have trapped my fingers under it more than once. There is a very small space to put your hands into the bonnet to release the catch. This is one of its worst features.

What's most practical about your car?

The car is full of hidden storage so it doesn't spoil the look of the interior, yet offers a great way to hide your essentials and your car doesn't look cluttered.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the boot space and the fact the seats can fold down to give extra room if we need it.
