1997 Renault Scenic review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle in driver door from new.
Exhaust back box gone within first year.
Engine "missing" especially when going down gears.
Heat shield keeps coming against exhaust causing loud rattling noise
Wind causes annoying whistle on outside wing mirror.
General comments?
Although there are many things I like about the car e.g. remote central locking, satellite control radio, general comfort etc. I would not buy another because of the problems listed above. I do not think this car will stand the test of time.
