My parents occasionally had a Renault, I don’t remember any cursing and swearing. I was only a kid, maybe they kept it to themselves!? I did a lot of research before buying my Renault, looking on the internet, numerous magazine satisfaction surveys and speaking to owners when the opportunity arose. My research concluded that it was the older models that were poor and the newer ones were OK. There were a few things here and there but no patterns and probably no better or worse than a lot of other manufacturers. I looked at other MPVs but the Scenic impressed with its comfort, smooth diesel engine, quietness and value. Lots of people who ride in it comment on its excellent seats and comfortable ride. I was lucky to find a 2.0 diesel, there don’t seem to be many around second-hand. It’s a bit more to tax than the 1.5 and uses more fuel but its performance is better.
I get to drive quite a few cars at work and often am happy to get back in my Scenic and its rapid but quiet engine and fantastic seats. It’s a bit like getting home and settling into your favorite armchair in the lounge. it's not a car most of my age group would buy and in the future who knows what I will own if my circumstances change, maybe a soft top BMW or Lotus but for now I really like my car and it ticks all the boxes I need at the moment. I would buy the same again if it got nicked, can’t really say more positive about it than that. Too many times people have told me what I should or shouldn’t do, well this time I used my own judgement and if it all ends in expensive tears then I will just accept I got things wrong and put it down to experience!
