Other BusinessCar team members have highlighted two issues with the Grand Scenic.
Firstly, one finds it difficult to operate the control buttons (stereo etc), particularly at night. The reason seems to be a combination of the layout not being intuitive, and the lack of an ambient light source, although Renault has addressed the layout issue in the newly revised model. Secondly, I'm not alone in sometimes hitting the brake and accelerator pedals simultaneously. Perhaps they're too close together, although in my case the problem only occurs when I'm wearing my clumpy Nikes.
