What has Renault done to the Renault Scenic? We have had 3 Scenics, an 04, 08 and 10 plate. In February 2014 we went to our local Renault dealer but they did not have a new model in the garage for us to look at. The salesperson assured us that it would be exactly the same as our old one so we happily ordered a brand new one. That turned out to be one huge mistake!!! The colour goes as Damask Red, I'm not sure what colour it is but it certainly isn't red! One feature I did like about the old one was the big open space inbetween the seats (we had an electronic handbrake), so what has Renault done? Put in a huge storage box that is so bulky it isn't any use, it is so tight to the seats that my husband cannot put on his seatbelt. Also, please be aware that the radio/mp3 player is not actually compatible with any mp3 player, only Apple. When we play CDs it never plays the CD right through, it jumps tracks and often only plays half a song before jumping to another track. But, my biggest complaint is the seats. I have no idea who Renault got to test these seats but they are the most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in. We have only had the vehicle 3 weeks and I now have a permanent ache in my neck and between the shoulder blades. I have had the seat in all positions possible and I still cannot get comfortable. I have complained to Renault direct and they are not willing to help us in any way, even though they said we should have had the chance to reject the vehicle before purchasing. We have also come to a dead end with our local garage. So I'm sorry Renault but this is final car we will be buying from you. We have come to the conclusion that we will have to sell the vehicle in the next few months before I become permanently injured from the seat
