The Scenic 75 is a decent engine, but its performance is hampered by long gear ratios
Based on similar underpinnings to the old Renault Clio, the Sandero is agile
The boot is certainly big, but it's not particularly clever, with nothing to secure any load you have in there
Most of the car's controls are easy to use and feel tough
As you would only expect at this price, the seats are soft, but not very supportive
There's much more room in the back of the Sandero than in the back of a similarly priced alternative
The boot is certainly big, but it's not particularly clever, with nothing to secure any load you have in there
Fold down the rear seats, and you have 1,200 litres of space, but...
...the seats don't leave a flat floor when they're folded down
There's actually a reasonable amount of storage space in the cabin
Our favourite engine is the 0.9 The petrol unit, which gives the best compromise between price and performance
The Sandero proves reasonably comfortable on a long journey
The diesel engine is the most economical unit in the range, but too expensive to make financial sense for most people
