1997 Renault Scenic RT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much.
Creaking noise when pulling on handbrake since new. Not fully fixed at service.
Heat shield on exhaust bent twice after hitting floods at speed. Then exhaust knocks. Got underneath and bent it away from exhaust myself.
Seats starting to rattle.
General comments?
Remarkable design. Very roomy and versatile for length. Have flitted my kids to University in it. They think it is ugly and has no street-cred but it swallows their kit.
Good fuel economy 40-45 in country driving. Sensitive to cross winds.
Handles surprisingly well for a high vehicle. Good Picnic car.
The Megane is the best selling car in Scotland. The Scenic variant accounts for over 40% of the sales.
Soon all the other manufacturers will copy this concept.
