Absolutely, one thing however.... I still think the Megane looks cooler!

Hard to tell with this riding on such big wheels but the 'quietness' is not this cars strong point, it is a GREAT car but there are slightly quieter out there. Sounds like you need a test drive!

Glad you like it!

Glad you enjoyed it! That is a VERY good point, Renault seem to be very forthcoming with appealing to the mass market, so I’m sure they’ll release something soon.

You're correct! The one in the video is not Matte! Exciting times, when is it arriving?

@@johnbanksreviews I think the one shown briefly with the European plates was matte though but the British one was metallic. Mine is coming in and around 1st September so can get it on the new 74 plate 😊

Perhaps the Alpine is different in the boot ?

Yes it does! There was a time when it might have been an option for the UK (like on many VW products) but that went back on that.

Thank you kindly!

(This is Tish) I have tested both and genuinely I think this is miles better. Better value for money, better infotainment system, bigger inside, better looking and nicer materials. The Explorer may just be a touch better to drive.

Even we happen to agree that the pan roof should be an option that can be added to any trim. Fingers crossed Renault will listen to feedback.

They are not right for anyone but luckily Renault have lots of other cars to suit needs

Hello!

That's great to hear that it works for you

It is every much like me 😂 Surprised I only did it once! Sorry about that, you know what I mean ☺️

@@johnbanksreviewstwice 😂

Yes sorry, I have been really poorly and my brain was very foggy!

That is completely fair enough! We have a Hyundai in group... shall I do a head-to-head?

@@johnbanksreviews that would be great, id definitely watch 👍

Sorry I haven't been very well and was suffering with major brain fog!

Glad to hear you like it!

Oh 😂😂😂😂 blimey. Well it’s world now. As awarded by Tish

Yes it totally did, this won European. I have changed the title

@@scottgiddens1262You're very unlucky, considering they are not on the roads yet.

They are driving on the Dutch roads, for sure. Deliveries are well under way

You've personally seen 2 on fire on separate occasions?

Have you seen a video in which they have been mileage tested? Tish is planning to do this on her channel soon.

I'm buying one so I closely studied the mileage tests made by youtubers and magazines. Expect a solid 300kms/190 miles for a 80-10% at 70mph. In a pure urban environment, expect even better results than the WLTP (more than 600kms from full to 0). Anyway, the car autonomy should outclass your bladder's.

You dropped your tin hat

I agree; that’s why I put an emphasis on how they’re there to keep us safe however, some people hate them so much they’re a deal breaker to them. I think the most ‘irritating’ one is when you drift over 30-31 you get the spear warning. Personally I left everything on and nothing was too intrusive.

Well, some of the safety features are just intrusive and not convenient in a all-day use of the car. It's great that the car detects that you're falling asleep on the motorway and is able to keep you on track, but having the feeling that someone grabs the wheel each time you step on a line in an urban area is neither safe nor comfortable.

Agreed but some of the safety features don't necessarily perform as you might expect ... when I had an MG4 it intentionally steered me into the middle of the road (and oncoming traffic) when the road ahead was narrowing. It was essential to turn it off for every trip. If that is several levels deep in the UI then that is a deal breaker. Hence ease of disablement is high on my list.

The safety features are annoying and dangerous, you must be a terrible driver if you want that junk on your car

Safety features are advisory in nature. A lot of drivers are very attentive and responsible. They have no need for safety features like attention monitors similar features. Other features like presdestrian monitors and emergency breaking are essential. I don't think anyone has complained about those. We are humans ergo individuals. Some of us want a little more control of what we do. The next thing we will be saying is why don't we watch state controlled media and obey everything they tell us

Not that it changes your points but this actually won European car of the year and not world car of the year. However I understand people are always going to have differing opinions about cars and what works for them. For me, I think this car looks wonderful, it's very well styled and I love the thoughtful interior touches that its rivals certainly do not have. The range is very impressive and this has been proven to be a reliable prediction, this ultimately is where the slightly higher price tag comes in. It is as fast as it needs to be, it doesn't claim to be a performance EV and I would be shocked if the average person needed anything quicker. (Very valid that people want a fast EV but then there is many of them out there.) Charging is a fair fact however, the fact it comes with a higher AC as standard is a HUGE bonus as that really is where 99% of people do their charging. Actually finding a 100kW charger isn't easy. Like I said, you're entitled to thinking another car would work better for your needs but I personally think the Scenic hits the nail on the head in all areas.

If you don’t like this grill, then you have no taste, my friend! One of the best good looking models, especially compared to the latest BMW's and Mercedes.

That's totally OK that's it's not for you!
