1999 Renault Scenic RN review from UK and Ireland
"Fairly good..... so far!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator burst at 8,000 miles, replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Paintwork appalling, chips far too easily esp. bonnet.
Annoying rattle from the overhead console.
Generally quite a good car but I consider the fuel consumption is rather disappointing.
I am not confident with the remote unlocking/immobiliser system having had a problem with my Megane Sport. The system on my Scenic is a radio controlled device rather than infra-red so it may be a little more reliable, time will tell. I never undertake a long journey without the spare key.
