ரெனோ ஸ்கலா [2012-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior Great design and eyecatching appearance

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Super spacious front and rear, great boot area, Average plastics but limited storage slots and spaces

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Below average pertol engine. Too much engine whining noise for a petrol engine. Strange engine sound in first gear.Clutch plate wobbling sensation in first gear. Gear ratios tooo short in lower gears though mid range gears are great. After 80 kmph i felt the need for a 6th gear. Follow me home headlights which were promised are not included in this version. Have not driven a full tank full of mileage to calculate fuel efficiency but am quite sure she will not cross10/11km in the city. Suspension is good but with replaced michelin tyres improved the ride dramatically. Stupid of the company to cut minimal costs on tyres for sake of a comfortable ride and cabin noise. No alarm sensor in security system.

Ride Quality & Handling Petrol RXL version fitted with horrible noisy JK tyres. Spent 12000 extra to replace  michlens which reduced the cabin niose and ride quality IMMENSELY. Spare wheel has no alloy wheel. Noisy cabin with engine and tyre noise is quite irritating.

Final Words Nice effort by renault to produce a premium mid range sedan but as a customer for the price i feel the company has fallen way short of a buyers expectations . Average car overall but the few points mentioned above make me feel cheated. Horrible job by dealer to fit art leather seats and leather cover for steering. No leather gear knob job done either. No chrome front grill in stock. Have to return to the dealer again.

Areas of improvement Dealer delivered car without mud flaps and car cover asking me to come back a week later even after colleccting the charges. No enthusiasm in the staff. Generally a Bad buying experience. No professionalism sorry to say.
