Are renault scenics 1.4 any good?

Question

i was looking at one on ebay , are they expensive to run and repair?

Answer 1

renault scenics are ok but seriously underpowered with a 1400cc engine, go for a 1.6 at least.       You really need to test drive one as they are an acquired taste and not everybodies ideal vehicle.  but if you got a load of packages/kids/stuff  its great

Answer 2

I have owned several Renaults, my last being a 2.0 litre Scenic automatic, fantastic mpv but i feel that the 1.4 is far to underpowered for the size of this vehicle, would suggest a minimum of 1.6.

Answer 3

I have nothing against french people however french cars are notoriously known for being badly built and unreliable.

Answer 4

they are expensive to repair.  need lots of special tools, so lots of the repairs really need to be done by a dealer.

i don't know what country you're in but in australia parts are expensive and take ages to get here from france, but if you're in europe it shouldn't be a problem.

take one for a drive-  i personally hate them.  bad driving position, gutless, pedals too close together.....

but some people like them, so take one for a drive.
