Renault Laguna Hatchback 1.6 16V Authentique 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought this car as my previous one (Vauxhall) was getting expensive to run. Biggest mistake ever made in my life.
Costs
Tyres and wheels have been an issue. On first name terms with Kwik fit... and my unsociable local Renault dealership.

On the road
Driving
Bit sluggish, but gets there in the end.
Performance
Fuel consumption is fairly good.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Tyre pressure monitor gets on your nerves, even if it just needs a puff of air...
Image
It does look cool and aerodynamic, but don't be fooled...
Comfort
Nice seats, plenty of room for two adults and two late-teens kids. Cramped with three on the back seat and the seat belt system is a nightmare.

Security and Service
Security
No problems yet (touchwood!).
Service
Absolutely diabolical. No courtesy car is ever available and they expect you to get to work by other means of transport, when you work 30 miles away. A total rip off with labour charges.
