1998 Renault Scenic RTE review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent value, drive, and family friendly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've only had the car earlier this year and recently had to replace the nearside rear wheel bearings. I believe the previous owner towed a small trailer so this may have been the cause of the fault or the high mileage.
A recent leak had developed around the thermostat housing unit. Repaired by my self and car is working fine.
General comments?
Absolutely brilliant. My Scenic is only the third car I've ever owned and if I could afford it, I'd buy a brand new model.
I'm 6ft tall and there's bags of room; not only in the front but for the back passengers too.
I love the elevated drivers position the car provides and gives you a clear view of the traffic up ahead.
