DESPITE being copied, undercut and, in the case of the new Holden Zafira, outsmarted in the seating stakes, the groundbreaking Scenic mini-MPV has finally arrived in Australia with plenty of arsenal to wage war against big-displacement cars and four-wheel drives. It offers a persuasive package that combines loads of equipment with strong safety credentials, excellent use of interior space, smart seating arrangements and a unrivalled array of storage options. In the case of the Dynamique and Privilege models, good engine performance is there as well.
