Renault Scenic Dynamique 1.6 16v

Just bought this vehicle found out heater only works on speed 3 n/s/f window don't go up or down headlights come on whilst driving I have to stop turn engine off and restart . I can set radio and clock all ok but when car turned off and then restarted I have to reset them again please any ideas on what it is and rough price please (except scrapyard )mind you???car runs well and very quiet at side of my other motor renault rx4 plenty of space and storage easy to drive I wish the sellers could advertise properly if I had known all this I would not have bought

Mine had just done 60,000 miles. Window regulators failed, Renault quote £350 per door and there is a very high failure rate. Dash completely failed and had to be replaced, again common fault but not good when you want to sell the car. If your clutch goes be prepared to pay £1,200 for replacement clutch and flywheel at independent garage (Renault quoted £3500)! Remote locking no longer works. Poor waterproofing so water gets into doors and messes with electric. Intercooler also failed.

In brief the car ostensibly seemed good value but the build quality is so low that in my case repair bills quickly exceeded the value of the car. My advice would be never buy any Renault. The company will stonewall you at every turn, denying responsibility and I have done repairs only to find that Renault later recalled on those issues.

In brief ignore Parkers review and look at owners forums to get an idea of the amount of misery one of these heaps of junk can cause

Even if it's cheap, even if it looks good, even if your friend has it and likes it. If you feel you start warming up towards it, run for the hills and don't come back until you've walked it off.

I've owned this car and yet my mechanic had it for longer at his place than I did.

Car doesn't start and doesn't drive and when it does lights start flashing, doors are locking and unlocking themselves, wipers come on and off all that when you drive 50 miles per hour in heavy traffic. That is worse than Paranormal Activity 3.

This car should be exorcised and buried on the crossroads during full moon.

Bought a Grand Scenic 1.6 VVT because it looked good car for a growing family. Regret it totally now! Worst car I've ever owned and definitely worst car ever driven. Horribly under powered, massive problem which causes it to stall while pulling away when the engine is cold (Renault aware but refuse to admit it is a dangerous fault!) try pulling out of a busy junction and the engine stalls dangerous in my book! Now the dash board flashes and resets (but it's ok BBC watchdog got then to sort this problem!) please don't be fooled by the practical side of the car, it's rubbish, WORST CAR EVER!

I got the 2004 dynamique 1.5 dci 80bhp. Owned for 4 years. Amazing economy, great family car. Had the common electrical faults heater blower and elec windows. Have recently found out that windows can be repaired under warranty by Renault if car is under 7 yes old & under 100,000 miles. This is a £250-£300 job & Renault ask for a customer contribution of about £60. Ring a few dealers if one pleads ignorance to this as it's not been well publicised by them. My motor booked in for this repair. The electrics are certainly the weak points of this fantastic little package which is overall superb, cheap tax & insurance I paying £212 fully comp with protection & wife is learner driver. Only let downs to date are the windows (n/side), heater blower & earth strap broke. The economy is outstanding, car is not fast but steering is light & precise & keeps up on m/way. Interior a little flimsy but I can live with that. Dnynamique spec dark grey so good if you got kids. Buy one but get a decent comprehensive warranty that covers everything!

Had our Scenic for about 8 years. Aside from regular coil issues it has done 108k now and nothing major has gone wrong. It will certainly not light up your life but for a growing family including holidays in France Ireland etc I cannot fault it.

It is a good basic family car that copes with all we have thrown at it. We will likely change it soon as we may be pushing the boundaries a little but would certainly consider another.

I bought my Renault Megan Scenic not quite two years ago from Carcraft. Within a month the coils went. I have had nothing but bad luck with this vehicle. The stering lock went and even though under 5 year warranty, NAC did not want to know as they said the Warranty did not cover. I have also had a new clutch, breaks redone, and while comming back on our Christmas break the exhaust has packed up, most likely the catty.

I would not reccommend this car to anyone.

The Renault Scenic Dynamique 1.6 16v is nice inside, great for the kids. never started took to garage never got it back

I have a 55 plate Renault Scenic Dynamique 1.6 16v, from 12 mths old (but only had 11 miles on the clock). All four coils have had to be replaced, my brakes are atrocious, they lock at nothing.

My electrics have just gone. On arriving at work on a wet day the rear window decided to go down as I locked the car - yeah makes sense to me too. Would not go back up. Had it in and the whole electrics, including door locking is up the spout. For a car I have had 2 and a half years from new it is a DISGRACE. I found the Renault dealers were most unhelpful.

I only checked this site after I bought the Renault Scenic Dynamique 1.6 16v, very foolish and an expensive mistake for me. Buying another car this weekend, and no it's NOT a Renault.

Plenty of leg room both in the front and rear.

Rear seats slide forward for several inches additional boot space.

Excellent boot space for large loads as the rear seats fold so far forward.

Under seat and under floor carpet storage compartments are good for small items.

Great to drive the automatic version, particularly with the handbrake releasing automatically when you press the accelerator.

I probably should have looked for a diesel version.
