I purchased my Scenic in December 2010 and it then took 9 months of it being in and out of the garage to try to fix a rattle on both front doors. After all this time and the money spent trying to fix it, both Renault and Benfield motors washed their hands of it saying it was acceptable car niose. I still have the rattle. I would not buy another Renault nor would I buy another car from Benfield Motors.

Terrible mpg, lucky to top 35mpg urban driving. Dealer and Renault say it must be the driver’s fault, or the heater is on too much, or the radio on too long, or we are using cheap fuel. What say you ASDA about that? Dealer had it back twice and said it did 45mpg, but that was in extra urban driving, it should have been more than 55. Treated like a simpleton by the dealer, as if we had never had a car before (in fact had 25 or more) and told we should not expect it to deliver given figures, or it seems anywhere near on any new car and could take up to 12 months to settle down!??? Company policy seems to be ’BLAME the CUSTOMER’. They reduced my wife to tears on one occasion by insisting that it must be her driving. We won’t be buying that Clio in March, or as things stand any Renault.

Fantastic family car with loads of space especially in the boot. Drives really well and very smooth. We’ve replaced the dashboard as this is a common fault and Renault do accept liabitity and repair for a small fee...no other problems, very happy with it and always reliable.

Swapped my Citroen Grand C4 1.8 VTR+ for a this MPV and I’m afraid I’m very unimpressed with this Renault. It is woefully under powered and takes ages to reach speed leaving the 6 speed box pointless. Build quality seems OK but the interior looks cheap and plastic, but the seats are nice. Very nice stereo fitted but the lack of ability for it to play MP3s is a draw back considering they added an aux point for an ipod and usb dock. The on board TOMTOM SAT/NAV is good but the addition of a remote seems to be pointless when the SAT/NAV could have been touch screen saving space and one less thing to have ratterling round the car to lose. A very good point over the Citroen is the ability to store the parcel shelf in the boot floor when using the rear fold out seats. Over all an average car with a poor powered engine.

We bought our Renault Scenic in July 2010 and since purchase we have had fault after fault. The air conditioning has never worked and the dealership has not been able to fix it, it has had the dephaser replaced and today it is misfiring and there is a ’check emissions’ warning light on the dash - upon reading reviews posted about this fault it seems that the start of 2011 is going to be an expensive one! We tried to give this car the benefit of the doubt when we bought it but please please please please do not make the same mistake as we have and end up with finance on a car that does not work. DO NOT BUY A RENAULT SCENIC YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Hi, Having read other bad reviews on the Scenic I would like to let everyone know my death defying experiences since I bought it 5 months ago. 3 Times on the motorway in the fast lane CHECK EMMISSIONS came up the dash board with a loud Bang. No power and all controls lost their use. Took it into Renault who test drove it and said yes it is the computer.They changed it and mended the window which stopped working. Yesterday to my horror it happened again - in the fast lane of the M25! It is now in the garage, they are trying to find the fault. I have said I don’t want it back and I either have another car or my money back. Probably won’t ever look at a another Scenic. Traded my lovely Modus in for this pile of C***
