would never recommend this car, all electric windows have now gone, quote £400 each window by Renault garage! Renault are aware of the design fault and as a good will gesture!! offer you a percentage paid by them, NOT GOOD ENOUGH RENAULT!!!!! they are well aware of this fault in these cars so they should do the right thing I pay for the whole thing to be fixed, if it was the brakes or something the cars would be recalled and fixed for free, this should be the same ,i cant believe they actually think they are doing YOU a favour by doing it as a discount, will never buy another Renault again.

I've owned this car for 2.5 years and paid £5500 for it but I can honestly say that this is the worst car I've ever bought and I will not be buying another Renualt ever. I've been to the main dealer 7 times as windows keep dropping and each time parts were changed and the problems fixed (bearing in mind there are only 4 openable windows on the car!!). Driving at night on the M5 and the dashboard went out, meaning I didn't know what speed I was travelling at, how much fuel was left etc. - Renualt paid some money towards the cost of replacing the dashboard but it still cost me £100. The dashboard and window issues should be sorted free of charge as they are such a common fault. Then the turbo has gone and Renualt want an astronomical amount of money to fix it. Depreciation is also terrible as I was offered £850 part ex as my milage is up to 150000 (based on the thing being fixed and roadworthy). Renualt should recall all these cars and scrap them which is what I'm doing with mine this week.

After many breakdowns a new engine.. and pretty much most things changed... its back in the garage again! most unrealiable car i have ever had the pleasure of owning

I have a 2007 1.9 diesel Grande Scenic bought through Motor Provider at a big discount four years ago. It is a fantastic family car with a great view out for the kids when they were little and storage areas for everything. Now the kids are older there is huge space for an entire drum kit and other musical parapheralia. Great performance from the big diesel and average of about 45 mgp on a long run and about 38mpg on the school run. Light bulbs occasionally fail and the radio has lost the security code every time the temperature has dropped to minus 5C this winter. Renault have just offered to replace the radio free of charge. I have received excellent service from Wokingham Motors over the years with very reasonable prices. They recently replaced a tyre free of charge after accepting that they had not set the tracking correctly. My wife wants to buy another Grande Scenic to replace this one later this year. Sorry to hear about other people's bad experiences but cars are mass produced to a price and there is always going to be the rogue.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! I PAID 9 GRAND FOT THIS CAR AND HAVE SPENT A FORTUNE ON IT. Instrument cluster coost over £400, problems with valves, air con not working, gave garage £350 yesterday to fix some bits now need to find another £800 to replace engine bush, dangerous to drive. Absolute rubbish car, will never buy another Renault. I see other people have mentioned wipers not cleaning all the windscreen, I have this problem too. In fact one of my wipers flew right off one day. Anyone else who has had instrument cluster do you know that Renault will now give you back £300 if you have receipt and proof of ownership, thats if you are unfortunate enough to still own the car. Don't know how I would get rid of it, I could'nt sell it on to anyone, as I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Oh forget to mention the engine pulleys are faulty now too and the exhaust is hanging off. OH yes and be prepared to fork out for lightbulbs every month or so, I have other cars and never had so many bulbs replaced. If you still want to buy a Grand Scenic after this ARE YOU CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE READ IT MAY SAVE YOU LOTS OF ££££. Ive got a December 2004 Scenic 1.5DCI 80 BHP WITH FAULTY ELECTRIC NEARSIDE WINDOWS.

FOUND OUT BY ACCIDENT THAT IF YOUR CAR HAS FAULTY ELECTRIC WINDOWS IE DROP INTO DOOR CAVITY NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN & YOUR CAR IS UNDER 7 YEARS OLD & UNDER 100,000 MILES RENAULT WILL REPAIR WITH A SMALL CUSTOMER CONTRIBUTION OF (IM QUOTED £60-£70) TO FIX. THIS IS A £300 JOB & THIS REPAIR BY RENAULT I DONT THINK IS WELL PUBLICISED & I WANT EVERYONE TO BE AWARE. WHATEVER RENAULT YOU OWN IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR WINDOWS & YOUR CAR IS UNDER 7 & UNDER 100,000 ITS WORTH CHECKING. I would also recommend ringing two or three main dealers to see if they all tell you the same thing.
Regards

Scenic 1.9 DCI,2004
The previous review is uncannily similar to my experience - bought second hand and 1 month after the warranty ran out the dashboard went, then the power setting on the fan (needs the dash out again) and now we have just had a new turbo fitted but the thing keeps smoking when accelerating (not idle or revving on standstill) - spent a grand trying to fix and still no clues/solution. We loved the car to start with but it has proved a costly mistake in the end as aside from these various other bits and bobs have failed in the past 3 years too. We were going to upgrade to a grand scenic this year before the turbo issue but I couldn't now risk another one of these.

I have had a 1999 senic TDi and with only a few faults so on balance not 2 bad then got a 05 senic Dci thought we should up grade LOL. What a mistake Dash stopped working Air con fan control had to be changed then the door windows X2 stopped working Next check injectors come up, then a 150mile trip on the back of RAC truck at 3am. Found the car in the car park with the window going up and down the wipers going and the lights on, Central locking would not let me in so had 2 get the back up key out. When I got the car open no power so jumped started the car so we thought still no power and the steering was locked to the right. At home found the foot well full of water and the car is still dead on the drive . RENAULT SHOULD BE TAKEN TO COURT FOR TRADE DISCRIPTION THESE ARE NOT CAR THEY ARE MONEY PIPT FOR RENAULT.can,t wait to trade this pile of ~###### if anyone will have it

baught this friday grand scenic 1.9 diesel and kept cutting out or loosing power at low revs/gears. after persistant starting on sat morning and driving 1 mile while jerking as if we were in the wrong gear the car cut out as if we had stalled it.
rac called out and say its an egr valve and turbo is gone on way out - on the drive now un driveable.
and from all the reviws and sites they are minor and the start of more to come im fixin it and sellin it asap

The Renault Scenic 1.9DCi offers comfort, ideal travel car, gas/oil consuming very moderate (6 lit / 100 km in city). I even travelled from the south of France to home with a gasoil consume of 4,9 lit / 100 km ! With 4 persons and a lot of package, this car is very spaceful. With 126.000 km on the counter within 8 years, I had no problem with this cat that is worth a mention (perhaps a halogen lamp and a little exhaust pipe connection) I would recommend this car to everybody, but you have to have some luck. My next car will be a Scenic again !!!

This is a great car! I drived almost 1000 km in one day, and I was not tired at all when the ride has finished. I wood never change the brand!

I would never buy a Renault again. I have had nothing but trouble with this car, in fact during the year that I have owned it, the garage has probably had it more than me. The pistons went on it which cost 1200 to replace and now the turbo has gone and the whole engine now has to be replaced with a recon which is going to cost 1500. I will be glad to see the back of it.
