The car is the best according to me at that price range. I used the car for 6 years but did not get any problems excluding the tire changing. The maintenance cost is very low. I have been satisfied totally. You won't be disappointed at all with the style of the car or the features available. The speakers are not bad but okay for families who want to buy cars at that price.

I have a top-end Diesel Scala and is driven by my family is a Tier 2 town. +ves Elegant Design : Scala has adorable cuts and curves - the French elements of design on the Japanese platform has given us a perfect blend of glitz with class. Boot Space is decent, it cozies up all passengers and can easily take 3 in the backseat. Reliability : 15 months into ownership and the only expenditure has been the regular maintenance service- which cost almost nothing. All parts, fabric and switch gear are in place and looks brand new and glossy. Engine is calm and doesn't disturb the cabin - it feels a touch slow from the accelerator response but you can see that you pick up pace very easily whether on traffic or highways. Suspension and Comfort levels are 5 star. I drive it only during my vacation visits to home, but it is incredible how the Scala adjusts to the twisties and bad roads of Kerala. With almost no stretch of long roads, Scala feels a little over-powered for the routes I drive around, but the ride is always comfortable. Yes, it wasn't the most updated mid-sized sedan , but it is priced well for the top end diesel variant. Renaults are VFM and are 5% cheaper than the corresponding Nissans. Lack of navigations, touch screen is a concern, but can always be made up for, with your mobile device. A neat buy for any family with the head member 35-40+ in age. Don't go for the outright loud looks of all too common City , buy the nicer Scala. Treat Scala as a stretch from your compact sedan budget, not as a midsize sedan in terms of pricing/features.

The first thing that comes to my mind is its space and comfort while going for long drives. Bought this car on 2013, drove more than 90000 km still engine and performance remains same. Read a lot of reviews while buying the car, no one suggested the Scala. Some say it's overpriced some asked me to go for the Sunny but somehow decided to stay with the Scala. Pros after using 90000km 1 ) Space: No car in 12 Lakh segment provides leg room space as the Scala. Its spacious interiors give us a lot of comforts. I used to have long drives with family (min 1500km) every two months. Everyone is comfort with it. 2) Mileage: Being a frequent traveller this is one of my major pros. I used to get 23 -25 km on highways and 16 -18 in the city. Mileage is constant from day 1 till today i.e after 90000km. 3) AC: I believe the automatic AC works really good in the Scala than most of its counterparts. You could feel the chillness in a matter of few mins even at peak temperatures during summer. 4) Safety: Nowadays cars coming with advertisements like ABS and EBD. Scala had this in 2013 itself. I have mid variant RxL. Good thing is it comes with ABS along with EBD and two airbags for the driver and co-passenger. These features come in the top variant in most of the other cars in this price bracket. 5) Boot space: With 490 litres you can accommodate everything you need for a long drive with the family. Cons: 1) Noise after reaching the speed of 120km/h. I feel this bit irritating as feel some noise after you reach this speed. But it's not that major constraint as we will not be touching that speed too often. If you ride between 80 -110 you'll feel awesome. 2) Interiors are bit sluggish, the dashboard is too plastic. they could have provided some more options Overall I am really satisfied with the Scala.   

Look and Style - Best in class style and looks, none of the other manufacturers can counter the aerodynamic design of this car. Comfort - Best seating comfort for 5 people, nothing is as good for long drive. Excellent drive comfort and feel fresh even after a long drive experience. Pickup - Really, good pickup compared to any other diesel variant, all thanks to the K-9 series engine. Very less noise compared to most diesel engines. Mileage - In the city, I was getting anything between 12 to 16 kmpl which is remarkable for a mid-size sedan segment. On highways, this touches 18 to 21 kmpl depending on the road conditions. Best Features: This is a big car and very handy to drive. ABS / EBS / Intelligent system make this car remarkable on hairpin bends and tough roads. Driver's pride. Needs to improve: Maybe the music system (which uses the CD players these days) and aircondition winds for the rear side. Overall Experience: Excellent value for money we spend.

Renault Scala looks and style are quite satisfactory.  Comfort : Even the comfort level is quite great and the cabin is spacious which no other sedan offers within this price range.  Pickup : It's even better, more than satisfactory.  Mileage: That's where it goes down. Quite poor than being claimed. The first tank fill gave an average of 19.9kmpl on the highway which is now giving only 16kmpl while in the city it is 15+kmpl only. In spite of complaints, it was attended and improved to 17.5 kmpl but again in the next fill, it failed. The true defect/shortcoming has not been resolved. Therefore, since prices of Petrol and Diesel now coming to par - the purpose of savings on fuel is defeated. So why pay more for diesel variant cars.  Best Features: Nice pick up and smooth driving even speed exceeding 100 Km on the highway. The probably need to work on the mileage part, rest everything is good.
