Renault Scénic 1.9 dTi

Sorry the title is the same as the Renault Ad but I think its true! If you have read my Freelander Op you will know we recently traded it in, and I have been playing with our new Scienic over the Bank Holiday I can tell you that on first impressions its a great family motor, and since we have owned one before I don't think it will disappoint In case you didnt know, it a mini MPV, which means you sit up a bit higher than a saloon car, you can load stuff like furniture through the tailgate onto a level load space and you can tip / remove seats to more room Our version is a 1.9 diesel dynamique ... more

My owner purchased me in March this year and paid £1450 for me, I was manufactured in 2002 and I display a 52 registration plate making me around 9 years old.
