We’ve had our 5008 for 2 years now. Went for a 1yr old 1.6 diesel which has returned 53mpg on average, although it managed 57mpg on a weekend jaunt form central Scotland to Taunton.
Plenty room inside & we don’t have to shift the 2nd row seats forward when using the 2 in the boot area – something we had to do with our previous 7 seat Scenic II. I use a tailgate mounted carrier for the bikes, not because they won’t fit, but because I’m just trying to keep it tidy inside. As with other cars you can get a towbar mounted unit if you prefer that option.
From a reliability side it’s had a little work done under warranty – tailgate release switch, EGR valve and both rear shocks.
I’ve only just replaced all 4 tyres which lasted 25500mls from new.
All in all we really like the car, as it does everything we need it to.
