1998 Renault Scenic RT 1.6 petrol
Summary:
An excellent car for travelling in
Faults:
Needed a back box after only 2 years but it is low mileage so perhaps should not be too surprised. Other than that nothing.
General Comments:
So far the car has been excellent. The handling - especially in high winds is well, interesting and on roundabouts also,is eventful - but you cannot have everything.
It's comfortable and practical.
I bought the car fron a VW dealer and it's to them I refer with my dealer score. I can honestly say the Dane Motor Company in Wrexham - North Wales have been rubbish and I would tell anybody who would listen - don't touch them with the proverbial stick. Other than that a superb car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have bought a 2nd hand Scenic Megane from a Renault dealer and my gears crunch when going into reverse. I have complained to the dealer who has replaced the clutch twice and had the gearbox checked by a specialist and Renault themselves, the response
"Your Scenic is performing correctly as per manufacturer guidelines when reverse gear is selected appropriately. Operator methods may affect the smoothness of this selection"
Yet their head mechanic has done this also the service manager!!!
Also the brakes groan when you press the brake pedal when the car is stationary, these have been stripped and cleaned several times all TNA
Anyone else with a similar problem.
