Renault Laguna Estate 2.0 RT 5d Auto (SR+AC) (1998/S) Owner Review
-
Economy
Costs
Surprisingly good fuel consumption of 34mpg on a run. Original parts are expensive but not much has gone wrong yet.

On the road
Driving
Very good long distance cruiser. Soft suspension but grips and handles well considering its size.
Performance
8-valve engine is very underpowered. Auto box just makes matters worse. Would never tow anything, struggles on some hills !

Living with it
Reliability
Always starts first time. Has never let me down totally. Engine injection sensor required for MOT, £100 fitted.
Image
Fine as a family car. Not very sporty, but totally practical.
Comfort
Easily the most comfortable car I have ever owned. Regularly drive to France fully laden with kids and luggage; driven the whole way with no overnight stops and get out feeling fine.

Security and Service
Security
Doesn't attract any unwanted attention. Never been broken into. Remote central locking has an excellent range.

Problems
Engine
Sensor (fuel injection) replaced.
Other
Tailgate interior light failed - it's not the bulb and I would love to know where the switch is as I've looked everywhere. Front suspension has started to rattle when cold?
