69Renault Scenic/Grand (new)82.68%
Cars like the Scenic and Grand Scenic are bought for one reason to shift the family with the minimum fuss and hassle. All of which makes this result rather worrying. Only nine cars were rated as more unreliable than the Scenic in this year's survey – an awful result for a model so many owners rely on to get the kids to school. But you rated practicality as very good, while ride quality and comfort also came in for praise. However, 15 per cent of owners said the Scenic hadn't lived up to their expectations.
Your Quotes
“I am truly sorry I got this car. The electrics and auto gearbox have a mind of their own, and you only have to look at the paintwork and a scratch will appear.”
Mr Michael Todd - County Down“Deeply flawed, underpowered, snatchy clutch, terrible electrics, poor quality plastics.”
Mr Phil Lawrence - Moray“A very comfortable ride, a pity an updated model came out three months after I got mine.”
Mr Dennis Brown - Bristol“The Grand scenic is practical but the third row of seats there is not enough legroom even for kids from about 10 years old and the second row of seats are hard to take in and out. Apart from the rear suspension being quite loose it is a nice car to drive.”
Mr Philip Malvern - Darlington“An innovative, if not the most up-to-date, car. Well built with a number of quirky features, although the rear seat-folding mechanism could be better. Good handling for a MPV and excellent roadholding. Extremely satisfied.”
Mr Alan Tuck - Louth“I think it is brilliant. I wish I could buy a new one of the same model but I regret it has been replaced with the new Scenic which is too wide for ease of use in a single garage and does not have the appeal of the previous model, which is small on the outside big on the inside.”
Mr Peter Harrison – East Sussex
