The latest Wheels mag is very negative about the Scenic, especially rattles and other quality items. What Car in the UK are also pretty disparaging about the Scenic quality, especially when compared to Japanese cars. I drove the Scenic 2.0 auto and Holden Zafira auto (basically a 2.2 7-seat Astra) recently. Holden were quoting $36 on road for the Zafira, Renault $33 for the Dynamic auto (in Sydney's east). The same Renault dealer admitted that the Nissan vehicles they sell along side were better made. He said the Scenic rattled because it was"hand made". they offer a 6 year warranty but it makes you wonder...
