The best car i have ever driven
Aug 19, 2017 05:45 PM10656 Views

By far this is the best car I have ever driven. Powerful, elegant and classy. Powerful in the sense that you'll feel like you are driving a racing car when you touch the highway. The biggest mistake renault has done is that they have not done enough marketing for the car. This is cost effective, when compared to other models like Verna, City, Amaze etc.


Sad to say I have met with an accident which was so fatal that the car was categorized as total loss. Even though the car went off the road(at a speed of almost 100k), overturned, flipped a couple of times and crashed into a fence, the only damage I had is a leg ankle ligament tear a few minor bruises in the body. And trust me, no one would believe this if they see the damages in the car.

Good sedan feel. Rich experience.
Aug 06, 2017 03:01 PM12600 Views (via Android App)

Hai viewers I gald to share my experiences with you all. We used to have maruti wagoner in this year we wanted to go for sedan class, then we visted honda, Nissan, some other foreign company showroom. Some how we liked this and bought.


Its really great feel in comfort and class. Awesome leg space. Great luggage space. Engine performance is also good. This car is more better than we thought. But what the problem is renault services are not that much good.


This is equally compitative with nissan sunny. Little less than honda city.


Overall we are satisfied with this product.


Thank you for reading this.

Good Car but expensive maintenance
Mar 30, 2017 11:43 AM17369 Views

I have been driving this car since last 3 years and the drive and mileage is upto the mark. The comfort factor in this car is also awesome, there is no comparision to the leg room space it provides.


On high speeds the car is very stable and very well controlled.


The only negative side of this car is maintenance which is little expensive as compared to Maruti or Hyundai.


Very good positive side the customer care which matters a lot, they have a very nice customer center where you can call and expres your concerns which is taken on topmost priority.

Mar 12, 2017 01:31 PM16301 Views (via Android App)

Recently my uncle bought this beautiful car buy spending lots of bucks. initialy it performs very well but now performance keep declining.


As per their experience, some different sound come from the engine. Moreover customer service support is good but the parts are very expensive. Space inside is also average. it provides a milage of nearly 21kmpl. Main problem with this car is comfort level beacuse outlooks are good but internal style is not really well designed.


So guise if you want a budget car, then other companies provide much better options.


Calicut India
Renault: A company that lacks Professionalism, Cus
Mar 02, 2017 10:54 PM16075 Views (via Mobile)

The cost of maintenance is exorbitant. In fact the company does not have a transparent and customer centric code of conduct in place for its dealership. Hence the dealer like Renault Calicut are fleecing customers by jacking up the maintenance cost by including unwanted checks and replacements as mandatory service advice. Further, a car that had run only 2300 kms during the two year warranty period was subjected to wheel alignment and wheel balancing twice. Second and third so called free maintenance service costed somewhere between Rs.7000/- to Rs.8000/- on each occasion. Service Adviser of Renault Calicut never asked about the driving experience but advised whether new mats are required for this then newly bought car. The complaint of exorbitant maintenance charges as well as denial of free maintenance was then escalated to Renault Customer Care. Renault company was never empathetic but rather rude and obstinate and completely endorsed the action of their dealer'Renault Calicut' as just for good performance of the car. Their so called Customer support do not have the basic etiquettes to at least allow the customer who initiated the conversation to complete his/her points' of grievances. Well I do not blame the dealer but it is this'Renault's self serving and customer inimical policies which allows leverage to their dealers to fleece, harass and extort from customers of their hard earned money.


The complaints of harassment of Renault customers especially in Kerala by Renault dealers which is TVS is sporadic and their usual way of conducting customer service. Even escalation to their Regional Head Mr Udaya Das finds no discerning action and is in vain. Mr Udaya Das is adept in the art of dissatisfying customers and aggravating their grievances. Whenever you ask anything about the conduct of TVS mechanics and Manager, his answer is, it is Renault's recommendation. When I asked why a car that has run only 2300 kms in the last two years was subjected to wheel balancing and wheel alignment twice he fumbles and his answer is, 'I will get back to you'. He never reverted telephonically as promised. But replied through email that all service advices rendered as per periodic maintainance schedule of Renault and as recommended for good running and performance of the vehicle.


Renault Company seems to have given a free hand to them to fleece and extort from customers their hard earned money.


Are the spare parts like diesel filters and many such spares as advised by their service advisor during the three so called free maintenance service(But never Free) used in manufacture of this car have such a short life of only 3 - 6 months that they need to be replaced so frequently?


Well we customers are to blame for having gone for this WHITE ELEPHANT called Renault Scala RXE Diesel or THE SHYLOCK'S OF THE 21 CENTURY - RENAULT.

Amazing machine

I bought it 2.5 years back.To be very frank I was not very confident while finallizing this car as at that time Renault was not the household brand.Renault was not successful at first in India when it was manufacturing the cars in collaboration with Mahindra.But still I went for this model as I got impressed by its looks.Then if you talk about the features and configuration, it has amazing leg space, beautiful interiors and very very spacious box.Power, Pick up are much better than others cars in this segement.1500 cc engine , 100 bhp engine added more value too it.

The fuel economy is very good and performance is also good. But sometimes the cabin becomes noisy. The car also gives a decent milaege. Me and my family are very much happy with our car. I am very satisfied with this car and it feels much more comfortable and handy to drive long journeys. It has got a lot of cool features and an amazing eye catching exterior look.


Drive it to believe it: A complete pack
Sep 21, 2016 04:38 PM17145 Views

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.


Very Spacious Car with Luxurious design
Aug 13, 2016 03:31 PM19084 Views

I am having Renault Scala diesel since 1 year and I am very comfortable while sitting and driving. I love its Smart key unlocking feature without pressing the buttons. Sensors are quite strong both inside and outside the car.


Its looks was also very seductive and luxurious. A perfect sedan offering best features at good price. Renault Scala has very large boot space along with chrome strips across tail lights which makes it look more impressive.


My New Renault Scala RXL CVT petrol version
Jul 20, 2016 05:13 PM17430 Views

I purchased Renault Scala RXL CVT petrol version in november 2015,


The petrol variant of the Scala is a 1.5 l engine, which can generate 97.6 bhp of power and generate around 134 Nm of torque.


The interiors of the Renault Scala are much more lavish than what the exterior would lead you to believe. The interiors have been designed with utmost care and precision.


The car comes with power windows, power steering, tiltable steering wheel, etc. The car also comes with electronically adjustable ORVMs.


There is a dash integrated MP3 player in the car that can play CDs or even the radio. The music system in the car comes with 4 speakers. The car has the general safety features too- ABS, brake assist, EBD with emergency brake assist, auto door locks that come on when sensing high speed or an abrupt change in speed


Only USB Port for music player not available

Best sedan class of renault..
Dec 12, 2015 01:08 PM28741 Views (via Android App)

Renault scala is the best car of renault compared to nissan sunny, scala got specias inside. comfortable in driving,   renault scala got leather seats , and keyless entry, and even folding mirrors, scala is a wide rang car , tyres are verry broad compared to nissan sunny.


The Scala will inevitably be priced higher than the Sunny. This is the company's 5th car in India following the renault Fluence, Koleos, Pulse and Duster. Renault is focusing on small hatch back car also like renault kwid, renault scala is the one of the prestiges car. Renault's dealer network is even smaller than that of Nissan, and it is hoping for managing 40-50% of the Sunny's volumes with the Scala, The SUV's popularity will have some  effect on other Renault products and thus, now is a good time to introduce the Scala. I suggest those who have craze on sedan cars with best price is renault scala

No user manual
Jun 04, 2015 05:27 PM36049 Views (via Android App)

Owner manuals have a periodic maintenance section. No Renault India manuals provide this info, either in the owner manual or a separate booklet. We don't even get coupons for free service! This leads to abuse of billing by the franchisees.

Yes, I can confirm, surprisingly there is no separate service manual nor is there a section in the main manual which speaks about the service intervals and what should be done in which service. Even the typical table to record the maintenance history is missing.


I'm not miserly and allow the dealer to pad the bill a bit, but what gets my goat is when the extra work leads to problems.


However my previous car had been lined up for an engine lacquer coating and ever since, the car stalls. After innumerable service complaints( it wasn't possible to reproduce the problem as it was intermittent), I finally traced the snag to a primary circuit wire which was almost totally severed, affecting ignition performance. After twisting together the ends and taping the joint, ( the part was not available) the problem disappeared. After 10000 kms.


When I took the Scala for service, they slapped on lacquer service, wheel balancing, air conditioner vent cleaning and some oil and filter changes that were not due owing to low mileage. I struck of the first three as I did not want the lacquer, my running is only for small shopping runs( milk and bread!) and I don't use a/c as I am affected by a/c use. I allowed the oil and filter changes as they affect the warranty claims.


On collection I was charged for wheel balancing and vent cleaning. After refusing to pay, the charges were struck off, the parts removed and warnings were given to me that warranty would not be honoured if the relevant parts( blower motor) failed.


When I drove away, it began to rain . I switched on the front demister and the blower began to roar like a jet engine.


This was really upsetting, the fact that they carried out a work that I had expressly refused to take on and created problems.


Since I dreaded fighting the traffic to the workshop, I dropped in to the sales showroom. They apologised and asked me to take the car to the workshop. This made me even madder, and I felt that an apology did not suffice. It's so easy to say sorry, but it didn't solve my problem.


This troubling nuisance occurred because Renault chose to leave out the maintenance schedule in their owner's manual, opening an avenue for their franchisees to pad the service bills. If businesses adopt sharp practices, they should be prepared for the loss of goodwill.


I went back into the workshop and gave the service manager a piece of my mind. I insisted on being given the preventive maintenance manual. He directed me to the FAMILY lounge where the preventive maintenance schedule was hung in a back facing corner. He promised to email me a copy of the same.


For the trouble that Renault has given me on this issue, I am going to publicise the trick they use to extract more business for their franchisees, here in mouthshut as well as other forums. Being retired has its advantages, excess time on our hands being one.


I will also email Renault as the sales rep on the showroom offhandedly and casually advised me to do, to avoid taking on responsibility for the goof up of their service outlet, haranguing them in the email for not making available the maintenance schedule in the owners manual, a standard and useful feature, or should I say, mandatory feature in ALL owner manuals. This is the only way to prevent dealers from adding services that are not listed in the manual and insisting they are required to be eligible for warranty claims.


HIGHEST QUALITY CAR!!!
Apr 29, 2015 02:38 PM36485 Views

Renault Scala is almost same as Nissan Sunny, but is definately much better looking than it. Scala's design is much more mature than sunny. It has one of the best legroom and cabin space with some unmatched interiors and plastic quality.


It is launched at a price of Rs.7.44 - 10.35 lakhs.


: Comfortable seats offering extreme satisfaction.


: 1.5 Ltr diesel engine offers excellent drive quality, fuel efficiency and durability.


: It is priced much less than its rivals like Honda City, Verna, Rapid and Vento.


: Awesome brake and tyre quality offers safe driving at all time


With having features like leather seats, keyless entry and start, rear AC vents and folding mirrors, it can be said that it is a highest quality car.

Danger of using Scala
Dec 11, 2014 12:18 PM41055 Views

My first review on Scala was on 24th December2014. I discovered this beauty becoming dangerous after free services. I pay Approximately Rs:14000/- per 10000km. It means I pay Rs28000/- per year. It amounts additional burden of Rs: 2333 per month along with fuel and toll. Exactly at this point Maruti and Hyndai cars differ and are pocket friendly. though I get good fuel economy with this car, it is being washed out by dealer and manufacturer golden handshake. Somehow it is similar with almost all brands where as Maruti car(versions upto Ciaz) cost you 10000/- per year(20000km) It is aprox. 750/month. Think seriously of this candid review before you by Renault/Nissan cars.


Mumbai India
Excellent car SCALA
Dec 06, 2014 11:59 AM40347 Views

I was fed up of MARUTI vehicles and I thought of selecting Euro cars.


I test drove Etios, Verna, Vento,  Linia. Finaly, I purchased a Scala RXZ Diesel, in Dec2013 and clocked in around 18000kms till date.


Very spacious inside and almost 500lts boot space. Huge car I would say. Rear seat is with Arm rest at centre with bottle/ juice can holder socket. Better suspension. Slight noisy at 2500 engine rpm.


It is tricky car if u have to get excellent fuel consumption. Believe me, my car registered 30km/lt, though it was very tedious drive for me for two trips. As a casual drive, it delivers 23km/lt in city. 25km/lt on highways. AC and speed does not make any difference on fuel consumption.


Passenger seating capacity make difference on fuel consumption and it returns as low as 18km/lt if you drive it recklessly. This is the biggest advantage of car of this size. I think this is only plus point of this car. Steering wheel efforts are hard compared to Honda city/Toyota etios etc cars of same category.


Clutch efforts are also high and are promptly noticeable while driving in bumper to bumper drive for a longer period. Breaks are comparatively weak. AC is excellent. Car stereo is big blunder by Renault. It neither has USB nor Bluetooth.


Dealer's staff force are not compatible for car's technology and surrender if you ask technical difficulties. They claim that Renault did not give specific training for this car. According to my observations, all dealers and even Renault India feel that DUSTER only is their bread and butter and accordingly concentrate on that model. Anyhow Scala or other cars from Renault are better choice than Maruti products.


During one year, I did not face any issue except fuel lid lock. Surprisingly, it gradually started malfunctioning and at one point I could not open fuel lock lead at petrol pump. Thanks to great mileage, I could not fill fuel for 200kms and took it to service station and got it done.


Another WORST point from RENAULT is, they do not clean car internally during free services, it is chargeable basis if you wish to do it and mostly they offer 3M services for Rs1400/!


I did only one modification- I replaced roof light bulbs and selected T10 LED bulbs at front and rear. Another surprise from Renault is no rear parking sensors even in this is highest version in this category. All other brands offer it with their highest variant.


If one is interested in better fuel efficient and spacious car he can definitely buy this beauty.


VFM to certain extent.


Chennai, Tamil Nadu India
Scala CVT - Point to Point no nonsense car
Jun 18, 2014 07:28 PM44626 Views

Bought: Sep 2013(10 months now).


Driven: 5000 kms(mostly city+ 3 outstation trips)


Like: Overall: Point to Point no nonsense car


Like: Rear Space


Like: Engine is extremely refined. You need to crank twice to understand that Engine is on


Like: Super Smooth CVT. Boon in traffic. You will never get frustrated of traffic jams anymore


Like: Linear smooth acceleration. Absolutely no jerks during speed increase/ decrease


Like: Ride Quality: Extremely supple(I have a back pain and can isolate the ride quality clearly). This car cleverly  isolate the passengers from bad roads. Best suspension and ride quality in class.


Dislike: Handling: not so sharp(I drove a Fiat earlier and am biased towards FIAT experience here)


Dislike: Lack of Sudden acceleration+ prominent rubber band effect during sudden acceleration


Dislike: Entertainment system is pretty normal


Dislike: rear air vent is non usable


Dislike: storage spaces are not so well planned


Mileage: Extremely good for a 1.5Ltr sedan of this class


City: 11kmpl(grueling ITPL Bangalore Traffic). Sedate driving in general.


Highway: 16-17 kmpl(sedate lower three digit drive with occasional sprint)


Purchase priority: Ride quality followed by Ride Quality followed by Ride Quality.(have a back pain on this was the prime decision criteria)


Other cars considered before choosing Scala:




  • City 2008-2013 model: All fits except the low height for driver ingress/engress. Ride was not as supple as Scala.




  • Verna: Bouncy ride. Goodies/ accessories galore.




  • Vento/Rapid: Excellent handling, Stiff ride quality. I wanted a softer suspension




  • Maruti/ Tata/ Fiat - no worthwhile automatics






Dealer: So So experience. Not so great. Just average
