Faults:

Nothing car has worked well.

General Comments:

This is a great roomy car that I use for buisness and leisure. The safety is great with side and front air bags.

The partial leather seats are great and not to cold in winter.

Plenty of space in side for up to 5 adults.

Pretty good on fuel around town and on long trips.

Overall great car to own.

Faults:

Accelerator stopped revving while in a line of traffic.

Sunvisor snapped and wouldn't go back up.

Car stops as no revs when driving.

No warning lights when this happens.

General Comments:

We bought this car for comfort and reliability.

We have had this car back to dealer twice. They say there is nothing wrong.

Could be very dangerous if the car accelerator fails to work on the motorway.

Faults:

We had a dodgy transmission solenoid replaced and a new motor installed for the automatic locking on the fuel flap within 1 month of getting the car. Apart from that, it runs like a dream.

General Comments:

We wanted a car with lots of internal room, that wasn't too big outside, had a 5 star safety rating, was very comfortable and we could use for long road trips with kids - and we got it. My wife is a new driver, and she loves this car. I have been driving for years, and also love it. It's smooth, quick, handles well, is a great ride height, perfect for kids in booster seats and has a fantastic stereo!!

Faults:

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve was dirty. Also the car required re-programming which as carried out by Renault garage free and resolved the problems.

General Comments:

The RX4 is a great family utility vehicle providing comfort, space and reliability. On motorways the RX4 whilst cruising comfortably at 70, just under 3000 rpm can run at 50-55 mpg fantastic considering the weight of the vehicle. Fantastic caravan towing vehicle also averaging 30 mpg and with the 4 wheel drive... enough said. Love this vehicle. Shame Renault are not carrying on with the concept...

Faults:

The brake disc arrived from new with surface markings on inner disc faces.

When braking at low speed the the brakes are very noisy, this has apparently been reported with more Scenics of late.

The handbrake continues to stick when release after being stationery overnight. This I have been advised is due to adverse weather conditions and again has been noted with other Scenics.

When I purchased the car these problems were not highlighted by the dealer. I still have the problem and the dealer seem happy to leave it as it is not a safety issue. Cannot say I am very happy!

General Comments:

The car is lovely to drive and is very good as a family car.

I purchased it as I needed to use 3 car seats and have managed very well.

However I have found when needing to use the hazard warning lights it is very difficult to press the button as the steering wheel seems to block you view. This can be worrying especially with motorway driving.

Faults:

Water leak the in boot from the rear window seal.

EGR valve failure at 12000 miles.

Paint flaking from bumper.

All changed or repaired under warranty.

General Comments:

Excellent car, especially on long journeys, the journey to northern France from the north of Scotland is covered effortlessly twice per annum with ease and no fatigue to the passengers. An enjoyable car to drive with all the things I look for in a car. Unfortunate that no replacement is planned for the RX4.

Faults:

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

General Comments:

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.
