As an owner of a Brown Bose 7 seater, I too had the problem with the headrest. I switched them, from the passenger to driver, and then it did not occur anymore. The fire-extinguisher also made noise, so I dismantled the holder (plastic) which is fitted with 2 torx screws. That's in the trunk now. Then there were the 20" Tyres. Bob says at a certain point that the wheels are 19". Incorrect. 20". And Renault tends to overinflate them. So when you get your car, make sure the pressure is correct: 2.6 bars for all wheels. Then there's the Tyre manufacturer. I have GoodYear summer tyres. Very hard. I have Continental Winter Tyres. They are perfect for the car. The car was transformed into a very refined driving experience, compared to the GoudYears, which are, in combination with the 20" wheels, just too hard. I like the gearbox, every gear is just right, I have the 110Bhp diesel. Never out of power (unless you go like mad, then it's just a 1.5 diesel). I like the interior, although not all panels fit as good as they should on the other panels. I like the seats. I used to have leather seats, but one summer's bottomburn too much... And in the winter, your b*** freeze off. I do not like the ergonomics. There's a telephone button on the steering wheel. But it's only for picking up or ending your call. To place a call, there's a satellite behind the wheel with 3 buttons. One of them is the telepone, another is the source selector of the radio. You cannot guess the times I switched radio station when I wanted to call. Because, the satellite is behind the steering wheel, you cannot see the buttons, nor their meaning. Getting used to it, I guess. My former car, Skoda Superb, was much better in that respect. I do not like the ergonomics of the big interior tablet. It handles things like heating and ventilation. You do not want to fiddle about on a screen when driving. The screen also is for the driving modes, e.g. sports. This screen stays on, it does not return to the main screen. It's details and overall I am very happy with the car. You get used to it's - let's say character.
Renault have lost the plot with the Scenic... I had a Mk 1 and the parcel shelf could be put in at half-height to divide the boot into 2 vertically, when not needed it slid down the back of the rear seats to take up almost no room, and the rear seats could be reclined/folded or taken out of the car individually to give a huge load area, like a medium size van. It also had a full-sized spare wheel and tyre, essential on a family car. The latest Scenic is nothing like as practical or versatile, a great shame as I was hoping to buy one. Looks like the C-Max is about the only decent family MPV where the seats can be folded or taken out now :-(

Good man Bob, great review as always, and totally agree with you on the facebook thing:)
Totally agree about Facebook, I also avoid it as much as possible!

Yes, Facebook IS a whole in the ground.
You're such an Irish driver. Not a stitch of indicators on any roundabout.... ah sure be grand.
Nice review. Bob, have you got Benz GLC review?

Not a single use of indicators while going through roundabouts there bob. Tut Tut
He probably doesn't want that tut tut sound from indicator get into his talking..
