Scenic III

A very spacious and comfortable car with a large number of storage compartments. The naturally aspirated petrol engine, if oil is changed every 15,000 km, causes no problems (there are fewer and fewer such engines). Sometimes, despite the 6-speed gearbox, it's loud inside above 130 km/h. As for the looks, it's a matter of taste. I personally like it.

Pros: Very spacious and comfortable, Numerous storage compartments, Reliable naturally aspirated engine
Cons: Can be noisy inside at speeds over 130 km/h

Scenic III

Comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped. Purchased at the price of a mid-range German competitor, plus it's attractive inside and out. I switched from a coupe to this minivan, and surprisingly, I'm much happier with it.

Pros: Comfortable, Spacious, Well-equipped, Attractive exterior and interior, Surprisingly practical minivan

Scenic III

A truly comfortable car, but... and that 'but' is the guiding motto. Unfortunately, after years, shortcomings emerge, the quality of materials used, and always something to fix. While they aren't major issues that would immobilize the car, they exist and appear in surprising situations. It's just a shame the Germans didn't make it...

Pros: Very comfortable, Spacious interior
Cons: Material quality issues over time, Recurring minor faults, Unexpected problems crop up

Scenic iii

Owned for 6 years. These years showed that this car can always be relied upon. After purchase, a STAG LPG system was installed which works great with the car. During this period, covering 100,000 km, the car only required maintenance repairs. Timing belt replaced at 198,000 km. Electric parking brake caliper regeneration, interior fan motor, shock absorbers, discs, pads, spark plugs. Otherwise, only oil changes every 10,000 km. Ideal car for families, plenty of space and comfortable ingress/egress. Holds the road very well.

Pros: Reliable, Spacious and comfortable for families, Good road holding
Cons: Needs regular maintenance (timing belt, brakes, etc.)
