2000 Renault Scenic RXE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best vehicle I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's seat replaced under warranty because the stitching came apart.
Right-hand headlight replaced under warranty. A spider had spun a web in the internal light bulb housing! This could not be removed without causing damage.
General comments?
The Scenic is an excellent family vehicle. Perfect for young children.
This is the first European car I've owned (previously all Japanese). One of my concerns when making the decision to buy was reliability. Thus far the Scenic has exceeded my expectation in this regard. The engine and other mechanicals have been completely trouble free.
I'm also impressed with the 1.6 engine, which is very capable for its 'small' size.
