Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) 1.6 VVT Privilege 5d Owner Review

As others have observed, a well-designed, spacious and safe car let down by execution in terms of build-quality and hence reliability. Although this car is old, with two previous owners, I can see some flimsy plastics that probably broke early. Still, if I can get a couple of years out of it without expensive problems I'll be content. LIkes: good visibility, reasonably comfortable (though poor lumbar support of seats, even with a lumbar adjuster), good storage and space, apparently safe, reasonable economy, some useful gadgetry such as tyre pressure sensors. Dislikes: fiddly gadgetry such as incomprehensible wiper control and unnecessary (and apparently unreliable) electric parking brake, concern about general reliability, flimsy, easily-broken cabin plastics, sluggish 1.6 petrol engine.
