Such things could have been avoided with adequate testing I would have thought, but what do I know, Im only a lowely techie!!

Trust me, you are 100% correct. No longer does everything get tested, mostly they randomly test now.

When I got my puncture it damaged the wheel arch of my car and left a hole. I booked it into the renault garage to be fixed. When it came back today, I had lovely new mudflaps, which I didn't have before and still have a large hole in my wheel arch!

don't they use their brains??? Didnt they realise there was still a hole there.. so I made ANOTHER trip back to renault, to find I would have to buy a new wheelarch that is extortionately expensive so I have ended up paying 50quid for something I don't need, and still have my original issue.. which after paying for the mudflaps I can't afford to buy!!!

ARGH!!!!

I own a Renault too(well at least Mrs Nutty does)... and get the same CR@P service in South Africa... Must Admit, I love the car tho...

Mrs Nutty's "Making" me trade in my Volvo S40 T4 (my baby) for a "Family" Car (I thought that's what the Renault Scenic was????)... Sadly the Volvo's nearly 10 years old now so about time for a new car I guess... was going to get another fast luxury saloon but I guess it's time I grew up and got a more Family Oriented car so we're getting a SUV of some sort... So far, for value for Money, the Hyundai Tucson is looking very good

The hyundai looks very nice. I have a grand scenic, and I do like the car, I've jusst been unlucky since I bought it! It's a very good car, loads of room for all the rubbish I cart around with me!

We only have the 5 seater Scenic...
The Renault is a great car, I just Wish Renault would jack up there after sales service, it's quite shcoking, esp. when I compare it to the Service I get from Volvo... My ONLY complaint with Volvo is that they are damned expensive...
I can't actually believe I'm considering buying a Hyundai (and trading my volvo in for one) But the car has a LOT of nice features (like climate control, Leather Seats, Cruise Control, + the normal Onboard Computer) at a fraction of the price of it's competitors

Here Hyundai offer 5 yrs free servicing as well. They are a good brand and cheaper than most cars that size.

Kia is also a good brand, cheap as they are still trying to establish a place in the market.

My car is the 7 seat one, but 2 of the seats are in the floor under the boot, and I full that full of stuff! Anyway, I dont use the 2 back seats, never mind the ones in the boot!
