1997 Renault Scenic review from Netherlands
"BEWARE: back & neck breaker"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
If you care about your back and neck, don't buy this one. The driving position is the worst I know. I got (still existing) neck pains from the seats. They are clearly composed for small french men's bodies. Having said that I have to state that my small children and my wife are small and also suffered backpains, although less severe. The dealer told us he recommends this car to back pain sufferers. Shame on him.....
I don't understand why so few automotive journalists criticise manufacturers for the fact they fit their cars with bad-fitting seats.
