Used Renault Scenic cars for sale ...

Plenty of storage areas take care of the little things in family life. Most trim levels are well equipped with creature comforts and all have first-class safety features, which helped earn the car a maximum five-star crash safety rating from Euro NCAP. It’s also a comfortable and pretty refined car, provided you avoid the smaller engines. The ride is supple and it feels grippy and composed in corners, albeit with a fair degree of lean in bends and precious little feel in the steering. The gearshift is imprecise, too, but more irritating are the bulky pillars and small rear screen that are frustrating when reversing.

Running Costs
All models lose money pretty fast from new, so even nearly new examples are relatively cheap – although you’ll still lose a chunk of your initial outlay if you buy too new. And, alongside cheap prices, affordable running costs are one of the Scenic's greatest attractions, and all models are very economical. The more powerful 1.9 dCi turbodiesel, should manage more than 45mpg, while the 105bhp 1.9 takes it to just over 50mpg and the 1.5 dCi into the mid-50s. Even the 1.4 and 1.6 petrols nudge close to 40mpg, and the 2.0 and 2.0 turbo petrols mid-30s. Servicing costs are just above average. A VW Touran will be cheaper, for instance, especially if you choose diesel, but the Scenic is broadly on a par with a Vauxhall Zafira. Still, insurance ranges from a modest group 4 up to just 8 for the 165bhp 2.0 turbo.
