    My car

    Great family car for long distance holiday driving and even the daily commute. If only the dealers and spares parts were more reasonable then it would be ideal. Top-end push is lacking for the drive into/though German when on business and holiday but for a 1.5 diesel it was okey. Fuel economy was good for a brick and in normal use the performance was more than enough - regardless of weight being carried. I used this to drive from west of Copenhagen to central Germany on business rather than flying: only 30 minutes longer and no airport security/waiting/delay hassles.

    My car

    This is the best car I had. I purchased this on 2008 second hand model of 2005. I dont think anyone can buy a better car/ MPV , seven seater in this price range. Exterior and interior are incredibly impressive. I owned 1.6 petrol, very cost effective then many 1.5 engines, can handle seven person perfectly (though the last two seats are shild seat , adults cannot sit on it). In two years time I just had one experience when it failed to climb a very high slope road, but lot of cars were unable to ride on that road. Not spend a single penny to fix any problem, just once a routine service and tyre change. I lost the car in an accident. Again It impressed me, it spin over three four times, but I escaped unhurt as the car was so strongly built that it took everything on itself. I recommend this car to every one

    My car

    This latest Scenic promises much more then it can deliver. Having owned both Mk 1 & 2 models the new car seemed the obvious choice. How wrong I was. The car was generally slow and heavy with the 1.6 auto proving underpowered for the size of the car and giving poor fuel economy. My previous Mk2 1.6 auto was much more economical and rewarding to drive. Frequent trips to the dealership due to poor reliability, mainly electrical, added to high routine service costs have persuaded my to cut my losses and move on. The Scenic has been replaced with a Mercedes Benz A class which was a similar price and is cheaper to run plus being a very reliable, competent all round vehicle. No more Renaults for me!
