I think the price actually doubled tis Q, was £495 now £995 for the Techno. Have watched a lot of reviews on the new Scenic.. the reviews mention the brakes a lot, same issue as the Megane e-tech i believe..may just have to live with that sharp feedback. the ride seems to be on the stiff side from reviews. The base Techno spec seems pretty decent and even has BS detection and a very handy profile button to turn off the pings and pongs. A test drive would be in order to see if the brakes issue and seating position (some reviews mention cluster being partially blocked by steering wheel) is to your satisfaction.
