1997 Renault Scenic 1.9TD review from UK and Ireland
"Adaptability is the key"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Screen washer pump replaced under warranty.
Alternator drive belt failed at 48000 miles.
Central Locking remote control failed, meaning the immobiliser could not be disabled and the car had to be towed to a Renault dealer.
General comments?
A good car, room for 5 six foot+ adults to sit in comfort.
Diesel very frugal 45mpg.
Performance pretty good.
Very adaptable, take the back seats out and you have a very capable load lugger.
