renault Grand Scenic road test reports and car reviews

Renault Grand Scenic Authentic 2005

To start with I owned a 1.4 mk 11 for 2 years (03) and put 34000 on the clock - very very little trouble with it. I liked the style until I saw the Grand Scenic. I don’t care much for the 5 seater Scenic with the sticky out rear end but the Grand seems to loose it! I’ve had my Grand for just one week, 1 owner, 19000 on the clock - it’s a 1.6 vvt authentic, 7 seats with a/c, I like the colour which is why I bought it (ottoman blue). The road handling is superb with true grip. I like it, the wife likes it and so do the kids. The only gripes I have so far is there are no speakers in the rear doors which I’ve now put in. Also the rear fog lights or should I say light. It seems that they (Renault) only wire up the offside and stick a bulb in the nearside holder, but given time I will get round to rectify it. Overall I like what I’ve got , give me a month or two to see if any thing has changed...

Renault Grand Scenic 1.9 dCi 130 7st 2007

This car is extremely versatile, great for carrying the grandchildren to school. Very safe and robust.

Don’t buy one of these skips unless you are an auto electrician. 4.5 years old: electronic dash replaced, headlamps failed, query BCM, and heater only works on 3, other than this the 1.6 is painfully hard to drive, vastly under powered and Renault aren’t interested once the vehicle is out of warranty. Extremely disappointed, worse car I have had the misfortune to own - Jim from England
