ரெனோ ஸ்கலா [2012-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior Looks great. Lenght of the car gives a very classy look. Looks best in Black or blue color.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors are ok. Chrome door handles gives a luxury feel. If they could add 2 more inches to the width of the car, it would confortably fit in 3 full size grown adults. Leg space is something to die for. Very very confortable on long drives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine packs a punch. Used to drive a Ford IKON(josh Machine) earlier. Diesel engine is a little noisy though quite refined. Cabin noise is also low. economy is phew 20-21kmpl on highway with 5 adults and AC, and speeds of around 110-120. City driving returns around 19 to 19.7kmpl(asper car reading) with speeds under 85km.

Ride Quality & Handling I am quite satisfied and impressed.

Final Words This is a car to keep for long time. My experience has been great with Renault. Keep open mind and think beyond reselling value :) and it will suprise you.

Areas of improvement Couple of inches wider :)

Lenght, Safety Features and MileageShould have been couple of inches wider.

Exterior The exterior is great and looks similar to High End cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Renault should have provided the high end features like rear wiper, Bigger Glove space, Body side moulding, Rear Camera. The seat height adjustment is not too useful as the height increase is limited. Other common features which may not have added to cost like coat hanger, and glove space on driver side could have made car great. The side door pocket space is not to useful as the space is small.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance & fuel economy seems to be ok. Gear box is ok.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality and handling is OK.

Final Words Good car. Renault should advertize the car as market is not aware of the name Scala. With no advertizement , I wonder if Renault is serious on the car.

Areas of improvement NA.

Good Fuel Economy, Great Styling, Great SpaceNo rear wiper, Glove space small, No side mirror indicator,

Exterior Average Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Extremely Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Fine.

Final Words No Complaints about car. Just annoying with After Sales Service. It's going near about 2 months, but no progress in the service. Service center employees explained us about major problem with renault service.

Before 2 months, When I was driving to my native place. In the midway, oil chamber got damaged and engine was stucked. We took the car to a service center and now they are telling us about spareparts problem. They told to renault about provide the spareparts, but renault dooes not provides spare parts to them. And only because of that I am a car owner but without car.

I have written to the customer care so many times and have not received a reply even after a month. Completely disgusting service of renault. I suggest to buy any other car, If service is important for you. Now I am thinking about sell this car and buy a new one, but not Renault... NEVER.

Areas of improvement SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE.

Performance is ExtremelyAfter Sales Service

We have first book Fiat Avventura, But my friend recommend me to check this once, and this was the only car in the market we thought not to buy, except this we had tested every car which is available into budget of 6-10 lakhs, When I booked Avventura my friend who works for Renault requested me to at least drive this car once, I decided to give it a chance, And frankly from the first ride I was so much confused whether to go it or not, But then Renault offered me a handsome discount on this car which was irresistible so could say No, And buy it.

And after this my thinking completely changed about this car, the engine is exception, I ran it on highways at maximum 15-160 KMPH and it was so stable, it crossed big path holes with ease, many time the shock was as much as, at high speed that I thought It broke the suspension but it didnt, If you go constantly at the speed 80-100  KMPH  it will deliver max mileage more than  KMPL, And yes this mileage figure is not exaggerated.

Now comes the best part is its leg room it just so awesome that no tension in longest route, I went with my family as far as 1200 KM nonstop and we are still not that tired that we could be from this long travels all thanks to above the class leg room and superb quality of seats.

The exterior and interior is quite basic, other thing which I realized is it headlamp doesn’t have much focus and power to see in night clearly which needs to be worked out.

If you dont care for what people say to you after buying this car and only listen to yourself then go for it, I still remember people are making joke on me that why you have invested this much of money when you can easily buy Verna like category, After my first long trip I realized it much much sophisticated and ruggid then any other class near to it, I feel it has much comfort then Honda city, because the same distance I have covered from Honda city I was extremely tired. As a title said if you need combo pack in reasonable price go for it. The after sales service of Renault is very good too.

Fuel economy, comfort, space, performanceInterior and exterior are bit outdated

Exterior Great looks, road presence.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Plastics used are below expectation, music system complete put-off.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Thumbs-up on fuel economy, gear box mating is not that great -- one has to get used to using the stick and clutch as the revv's tend to keep the car speeding further on low-gears.

Ride Quality & Handling I doubt if the engineers have considered Indian roads for suspension. My brakes tend to make loud noise -- silly reason sighted by dealer was because of carbon from alloy wheels and ABS (planning to replace them while in warranty)

Final Words I favoured scala for safety (ABS & 2 airbags) considering it a must, while my father liked the massiv boot space and cabin space -- After spending all that money, you also need to feel good while on the inside, and the entertainment and plastics clearly disappoint. I doubt the re-sale of Renault cars in near future.

Areas of improvement Interiors, infotainment, suspension.

Lavish boot space, massive leg room in the back, safety features at a good priceNoisy disc brakes on alloys, poor interior & plastics, very sad music system with no USB

Exterior Simple & Good looking, The 17 inch alloy wheel gives stylish look to the car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious & Comfortable with features like Bluetooth, USB & Auxilary input. The quality of the plastics used for the interior is good. There are lot of small intelligent features built in the car which add decent value to the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The proven Renault engine is great in performance with Good fuel conomy (i am getting an average of 20 Km/l with A/c On). Especially the engine performance at the mid range is excellent. The gear shifting is good.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality & Handling is good.

Final Words It is very Good buy considering the cost paid & the comfort you get from the car...

Areas of improvement The body thickness can be increassed & can use better tyre makes rather than JK tyres which gives bit of noice, Seats can be much more comfortable, The front & rear of the cars doesn't looks like a big sedan.

Space, Comfort & Fuel EconomyFeel the body is thin,the front & Back of the car doesn't gives a feel of big sedan
