2003 Renault Scenic Fidji RX4 review from UK and Ireland

Small water leak in the boot, other than that nothing, although not too many miles yet.

This car was purchased as a replacement for my 3 year old, 43000 mile Scenic Sport Alize 1.6 16v, this car ran totally trouble free all of the time I had it and apart from a few minor rattles, performed extremely well. I found the fuel economy on long distance driving to be up to 44mpg, the best I achieved being 47mpg. I would personally recommend the Scenic as a good family car, that is the reason I bought another one.

To date my new RX4 Fidji DCI is returning 42mpg on average peaking to 45mpg, I have not experienced the body roll reported by some other owners. I would however agree that the engine becomes a little noisy, although not excessively so at motorway speeds.

I am also a little concerned at the lack of a spare wheel cover and the effect that U.V. from the sun will affect the tyre rubber over a long time.

I like the part Alcantara upholstery and it doesn't have the same rattles at a very early age that my last Scenic did.
