2000 Renault Scenic Monaco 2.0 16v
Summary:
The most versatile car you can buy and is reliable too!
Faults:
N/S fog light had water inside thus blowing the bulb, dealer replaced at no charge.
Leaky expansion bottle cap, noticed by me because of a lack of coolant, dealer replaced and filled the coolant bottle in 5 mins for a 5 pound charge.
General Comments:
This car is very fast, having only a 2 liter engine, is very responsive and smooth, the gearbox works great too, thanks to the new fuzzy logic software.
It gives near 29 mpg which is not great but is OK.
More stable than I thought.
Very solid construction.
Flexible seating options.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

What went wrong indeed?!
My Renault Scenic is now two and a half years old and as of yesterday (10/10/03) needs it's 3rd ignition coil.
And because I have bought my car via one of the large car importers, every time this needs doing, arranging this is a nightmare.
Contact with dealers is fine, but contact with Renault UK for warranty aspects is near impossible.
So be warned if you have a Y reg Scenic.
One comfort apparently the same for Y reg Volkswagen Passat as 2 of my collegues shared 4 ignition coils between them.
