1998 Renault Scenic RXE review from UK and Ireland
"Nice car, shame about the gearbox"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Beware the auto gear boxes.
My car is a fantastic drive, could use armrests in the front. For comfort, fuel and economy it's great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately the downside is 2 gearbox overhauls in 2 years, each one costing £2000. Please let me know if you have had the same problems.
