I have decided to get rid of my 13 year old Renault Scenic. Have narrowed down the alternatives and the B-Max is top of the list at present. Normally I would buy 2 or 3 year old cars, but what is out there is still quite expensive and I may go for new if I can get a decent discount. Still trying to decide between engines. Petrol (as I do mainly shortish journeys and not a big annual mileage). Not sure about the reliability of the Eco-boost or whether it really delivers the consumption claimed.
Have heard (apocryphally) of people 'cooking' the turbo and this being very expensive to repair. Therefore am wondering whether the 1.4 is the safer option.
This forum also seems to suggest some quality/build issues, but difficult to determine just how serious.
Has anyone had experience of buying via an Internet discounter such as Orangewheels, Broadspeed, Carfile etc?
Any advice (particularly on engine decision) welcome
