Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 1.8 16V Dynamique 5d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Let someone else (probably a fleet manager) endure the initial depreciation. Well equiped for where it sits in the range.
Costs
Not as frugal as you would expect, 5th isn't tall enough. Hope that it's still under warranty if anything goes wrong or watch out plastic.

On the road
Driving
Fat tyres ensure loads of cornering ability, steering prone to "tram lining" though.
Performance
Not enough mid-range torque, 1.8 engine tuned too much for power and not enough for pull. Adequate all the same.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Far too many silly faults and failures. Front wishbones at less than 30k miles - the council aren't that bad at repairing the roads.
Image
Not the prettiest carrier about (lets be frank, the back is well ugly). Says you're not a Ford or Vauxhall clone.
Comfort
Part leather, air con and plenty of adjustments make long hauls a piece of cake.

Security and Service
Security
So far so good, the cental locking's different levels can be a real pain.
Service
Dealer has been very good and am happy to keep using him while its still under warranty.
