    PURCHASE:
    Not Purchased

    DRIVING:
    Few hundred kilometers

    Exterior Very nicely crafted. the redesigned tail lamps are very nice. the crome strip that enters the tail lamps is excellent. the front end is also very pleasing. The side view of the car is very excellent. it gives the feeling of a rich car like the merc c class. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) There is no exemption for space. it comes with a keyless start stop system. the seats though come wrapped in leather. there is lots of space at the front and acres of legroom at the rear. auto matic climate control, ABS, ESP, EBD across the range and and also gets equipped with twin air bags.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The K9K 1.5 lt diesel engine is a solid work horse. its got a wide spread of power.it builds pace gradually. in the mid range it feels really powerful. it gives you good responsiveness. its great for city usage. but in ghat sections you need to work a bit more but its not at all a problem. it is a free revving engine. the gearbox can feel a bit notchy when shifting quickly.

    Ride Quality & Handling Unlike the sunny, the 15" rims are only available on the top end variant, the scala offers the bigger wheels on the mid and top end variants. the scala's ride quality is pretty good. at low speeds it feels more pliant. but as the speeds build the ride quality still feels quite composed, soaks up bumps quite well. the scala will offer a calmer back seat experience. hte additional weight of the diesel engine and the bigger wheels give the scala a bigger air. the steering is very direct. it is very light at low speeds and weighs up nicely as speeds build. you can chuck this car around corners which you cannot do in case of sunny. because this car has a slightly stiffer suspension.

    Final Words So the renault scala is a perfect family car. go for it and you wont go wrong.

    Areas of improvement The rear air circulation vents can be replaced with ac vents. for a change from sunny. so that the rear passengers can feel still better comfort. but its very nice.

    Space, fuel economy, style, comfort, VFM, better to look at than nissan sunnyNothing yet. neatly redesigned not like the sunny.
