Renault Scenic 1.4 authentique 16v petrol 2009

1 star review

I’ve had my scenic now for 2 years, when I first got it, the coil went within weeks and took it back to the dealer, got it fixed and I had no problems until recently. The first thing that happened, my breaks failed, I went into the back of my sisters car, thankfully I wasn’t doing any speed and no damage was done. On my way home my steering went, I could hardly keep control of the car, with 4 children including a baby it terrified me. The next day, the car was totally dead, I couldn’t even lock the thing. The window wipers started going off when no one was anywhere near it and was making a banging noise as if it was trying to lock on it’s own, this drained my battery. I am now waiting on getting it fixed, but the mechanic has told me the steering control unit has gone as well as cpu unit and he thinks there are more problems there he hasn’t discovered yet. As soon as I get these matters sorted, I’m selling the blasted thing and never going near Renault again.

Renault Scenic Dynamique 2009

5 star review

I bought this car new in August 2009 from a Renault dealer in Dresden. I had test driven a couple of versions, both with the new TCE engine, a seven seater and a regular sized version. The TCE was OK, but for me, the extra performance was not worth the extra 1000 euros, plus, it is a turbo, it is always running. Instead, I chose the 1.6 bog standard petrol model. Since then I have driven it every day, driving to work on an average of 90 kilometres a day, and taken it to England twice. I have two kids, so it must bear the rigours of family life. It has done so admirably. I have had no problems at all in a year of driving this car. The ride is good, the comfort level of the cabin is first class and I drive in a variety of different road and weather conditions. Smooth, fast Autobahns, to pot hole ridden DDR roads. Everything taken in its stride. In summer, with normal Michelin tyres, I average 8.2 litres per 100 km. In winter, with Pirelli winter tyres, this figure climbs to 9.2. I have covered 25,000 km in this time, and there has been not one single problem with this car. I part exchanged it with a 1999 mark 1 model which had 135,000 on the clock, and had had problems since 110,000 with electrics, mounting and cylinder head gasket. I took a bit of a punt buying another Renault, but so far I am more than happy. I do not intend to keep it beyond four years though. Perhaps I will buy another Renault after this, or plump for a Dacia Duster, let us see. Dresden, July 2010

Renault Scenic 1.9 DCi 2009

1 star review

I won’t buy a Renault Scenic again I have a 1.9DCI, the diesel gives lots of problems. Also the parts are very expensive especially in a country like South Africa. It is cheaper to maintain a Toyota or a Volkswagen, many mechanics are familiar with them, but many mechanics are scared to work on a Renault. And not even Renault are always familiar with the faults on their own cars.
