• Volkswagen Golf IV (1998 - 2004) - 2002 GT TDI 130 - first impressions. 18 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  It's a good looking car which drives well, and is stupidly quick in real world driving conditions. The build quality is a step up from the Renault, but not as good as the reputation suggests, and the handling better than expected. It's also frugal, and for us will be cheap to maintain unless something expensive goes wrong. Yes, it's two years older than the Scenic, and yes it's done 20,000 more miles, but it's had the big cambelt service that was going to set us back £600 on the Renault, and it feels more "together" and actually newer.
• Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Test Drive - Impressions 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Nevertheless, I can drive around the problem in the Mondeo where it's a thousand times worse, so I don't see any problems here, but SWMBO thought the engine a little disappointing low down compared with the Renault unit. It's not quite as quiet as the Renault unit either, with a distinctly "rumblier" quality at higher revs, but again it's nothing excessive. Kept on boost, and in the middle of its rev range, it's an absolute gem, and the gearbox is just delightful to use, but if we were seriously looking, a drive in the 2.0 model would be required though.

• Moscow motor show stars 29 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  But despite being designed specifically for the Russian market (after consumer research), it seems Renault may be thinking of taking it further afield. And while i am no fan of the SUV, i can certainly see it being successful in this country (obviously depending on prices), as it is a nice looking thing.
