2007 Renault Grand Scenic 1.9 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Very good

Faults:

Rear windscreen shattered. Reason unknown.

Neighbour was outside and heard a loud 'POP', then the alarm went off.

He looked around the corner, but no one was around.

Close inspection would appear to show that the window and blown from inside out.

Very little glass on the inside (until the policeman shut the door too hard!!) His view is that it has exploded inside out, so did not record as a crime.

Spoke to a garage mech who has seen similar, but not on rear windscreens.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

2007 Renault Grand Scenic 7 seat Dynamique 111 1.6 petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Great car, but the faults are letting it down

Faults:

Knocking noise from offside front wheel when turning left

Plastic bumper clips broke

Drivers window groaning when operating

Car seems to skip about about when hitting bumps

Clutch has failed after 7000 miles (fair wear & tear) I think not.

General Comments:

Overall the car returns good mpg; have done 3 trips to France and 1 to Amsterdam, with an avg 45mpg.

Around town 34mpg.

Comfort levels and visibility when driving are very good.

Ease of use of controls when driving is good.

Acceleration not too bad considering it's a 1.6 and a heavy car.

Very impressed with room and boot space, and how easy it is to convert from 2 seats all the way to 7 seats in a flash.
