1998 Renault Scenic RT review from UK and Ireland
"Who needs anything else?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattling exhaust (seems very common).
Intermittent oil level readings.
General comments?
Terrific family car.
Only bitches are lack of power and too soft rear suspension. Both are fixed on latest models.
I've recently driven Fiat Multipla (too ugly, too wide), Vauxhall Zafria (very disappointing - it's a 7 seat estate, not really a mini-MPV), Citroen Picasso and Mazda Premacy (both poor copies of the Scenic) and am about to order a new Scenic 2.0 RXE from Holland at £4500 under UK price!
