1998 Renault Scenic RXE Monaco review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, economical and so much space"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Piece of plastic trim on the side of the driver's seat came loose. Apart from that, nothing.
Much better build quality than any new Ford or Vauxhall I've owned.
General comments?
Amazing fuel economy - 45 to 50mpg if you keep below 3000rpm.
Driver's seat position is critical for long drives. There is a zone of perfect comfort between the pain in the shoulders region and the pain in the lower back region, but finding it is difficult.
