1998 Renault Scenic RT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust heatshield has worked its way loose, causing excessive vibration, FOUR times in my 18 months (22,000 miles) of ownership - each time after driving through standing water as a result of prolonged heavy rain. Each time it's been dealt with promptly by the dealer (while-u-wait), but I can't help thinking this is some kind of design glitch - I've never experienced this problem on any other car.
General comments?
Generally speaking, I'm very happy. Performance and economy are good. I like the upright seating position, which releases lots of legroom front and rear, and there's lots of headroom too (I'm 6'3"). Lots of storage space helps to keep things tidy and plenty of boot space.
