“The Scenic is a classic case of design over functionality. It's totally unreliable and has awesomely bad electrics and mechanicals - apart from the engine.”

“Good all-rounder - can be a car one minute or with the back seats removed, it can be a small van. Radio is not as good as car, though.”

“Two known faults, one fixed under warranty but failed again, the second appeared after the warranty ran out. :-( Otherwise it is the best car I've had. It does what it's meant to and nothing has been broken by the children yet.”

“Its a family car purchased for safety and practicality. Performance was not required nor is it an issue. Great car for the kids, very safe.”

“Two problems have occurred. (1) ignition coil failures, replaced by Renaut slightly OUT of warranty period. (2) Brake discs. Rears replaced at 36k miles, fronts will need changing at next service (around 42k). These parts are excessively dear. Only other minor fault (so far!) is boot release button on tailgate needs replacement. Otherwise, car is a super family car - and, especially important to us, we can carry two adult bikes INSIDE the car. Biggest problem to me is... it's French!!!”

“Handy and practical for transporting family and all their related 'stuff'! That said, it's about as exciting to drive as, well, something not very exciting! Interior isn't up to the job though - bits coming loose and far greater wear & tear than I'd expect.”

“Excellent for families with small children. I've got a 5-, 3-year-old and 6-month-old and they all fit in. Take the seats out and it makes a great mini van too.”

“Easy to drive, good driving position. Seats are a bit hard, rear seats most uncomfortable. Great lights, really bright, much better than our previous Sharan.”

“Very unreliable, been through nine ignition coils, each set of four lasts approx 20,000 miles. Can break down at any time. New gearbox, diff, too many other parts replaced to mention.”

“To much electronic gubbins to go wrong now.”
