    I don’t own one but I had a two hours long unaccompanied test drive in one a few weeks ago.

    This was because the Scenic E Tech I’d booked hadn’t been returned on time 🤦

    Personally I didn’t like it. The ride was jittery and there was far too much tyre noise. Some of the interior plastics felt cheap. Very small boot

    By the time I got back to the Renault dealer, the Scenic had been returned, so off I went for another hour or so.

    This was a far better car and I was pleasantly surprised by the interior quality and materials. The ride was still a bit firm and skittery for my liking but the mid range Techno Alpine has ridiculous 20″ wheels as standard. However, I’d decided that I could live with that by the end of the test drive. Good tech with lots of standard features

    When I got back in our BMW i4, I realised how much nicer the BMW was in every way.

    Try a Megane for yourself but then compare it with a Scenic and you’ll see and feel the difference immediately. The mid range Scenic is startlingly good value currently, with an AP of £995.

    With regards to range in the Scenic, the Guessometer was saying 275 miles at 75%, so in this regard, far better than the BMW. I think over the test drive, the efficiency was running at about 3.9 miles/kWh, but I wasn’t trying for economy. It was also one of those very warm days.
