What Car? says
For The original mid-sized MPV remains one of the most versatile you can buy
Against It only has five seats when some of its rivals have seven, and the gearchange is poor
Verdict
The Scenic is a brilliant family car with a flexible and spacious cabin
Go for… 1.9 dCi Expression
Avoid… RX4
- 1. Even with all five seats in use, the boot will still hold their luggage
- 2. Check for loose trim and listen out for rattles from all over the cabin
- 3. It's best to buy a model from after 1999, as it will have extra safety equipment
- 4. Broken wiper motors are not uncommon, and can be time-consuming to sort
- 5. The engines are generally tough, but the gearchange can become vague and sloppy
