Yes, mine had twin sunroofs, A/C, CD multiplayer and best of all, everything worked!
Except for the rear wiper which had a mind of its own, pull the stalk and nothing would happen, three days later, the wiper would come on!

Ten years ago I had this beauty. I saw it for sale on Gumtree for about £300 with tax and test. The easiest collection caper ever as the bloke selling it lived six doors away on my road! I owned this at the same time as the Kawasaki G*****S that I've moaned about at length on here before. The Renner was one of those cars that would start first time 9 out of 10 times but the other time it'd need a bump start. I bridged it after it pissed me off.
Don't see many Scenics any more. A MILF customer of mine about 10 years ago drove a tidy one. She had a lovely arse, and the car wasn't bad either.

Is it just me that's never had a problem shifting gears in a classic 900 manual? The internet and contemporary road tests are awash with people slagging them off.

Mine sort of clunked and attempted to turn over but sometimes couldn’t manage it. A bit like flat battery symptoms.Warren t claim wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 11:39 pmIt was more a case of turning key to the starter position and nothing would happen.angrydicky wrote: ↑Thu Jul 06, 2023 8:34 amCrank sensor.

Re: 5 10 20 Years ago. Your car from this day in history.
Loving the Golf, in white that’s got to be the ultimate Q-Car. One of my brother’s wrote his wife’s ( blue ) one off at Christmas. He spent 4 months looking for something as fast and practical, even when he added money to the insurance payout, looked at Macans, RS Audis , AMGs etc etc ended up with an another identical Golf. Reckons until he can afford an M3 Touring there’s nothing else and even that has got a smaller boot.

It’s a Golf R , which even taking into account the modern 600+ bhp things I sometimes drive is still the fastest ground coverer I’ve ever driven . Don’t think the estates are any slower, never actually driven my brother’s one, it was certainly going well when he put it into a field.AMCrebel wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 9:32 amWhat type of Golf is that?NorfolkNWeigh wrote: ↑Fri Jul 07, 2023 7:16 amLoving the Golf, in white that’s got to be the ultimate Q-Car.

This is his latest, not quite as stealthy as a white one.
