General Comments:

This is the worst car Renault made in years; even my old Megane 01 was much better, and it had 130000 on the clock.

I have a loan taken on the car, so I can't sell it yet, but in a few months will be trading it in for a Mondeo or Passat. I really wanted the Laguna to work out better, as it was a dream car of mine, but I was disappointed. Now I am stuck with it. Don't buy one.

Faults:

Drivers side electric window packed up. New regulator fitted.

Intercooler split open, resulting in a lack of power. New intercooler fitted.

Both offside and nearside bottom ball joints and track rod ends wear out very quick.

Key card stopped working.

Car has now developed a tendency to wander and pulls badly to right when accelerating. Told this could be the steering rack. Great!!

General Comments:

What a shame, could be a great car. Very comfortable and a nice car when all is OK, but let down very badly by expensive faults.

Sorry Renault, I won't buy another.

General Comments:

I really liked the car, but the reliability and build quality became such an issue that I sold it.

Renault, you had designed a comfortable roomy car very well, but built it like a load of rubbish, costing the end owner lots of money to put your manufacturing mistakes wrong. You need to do more reliability tests on your vehicles, and until you do I shall not be buying or recommending a Renault to anyone.

You can build a reputation for good looking cars in days, but a reputation for well built reliable cars takes years, and you clearly have a long hill to climb to be as good as other makes in that department.

PS my car was not a company car, but privately owned, and driven very carefully by the person who was buying it.

General Comments:

This car has fantastic looks

And that is as far as it goes.

Thought I might have been one of the lucky ones when buying this car, how wrong could I have been.

Had three months of motoring before things started to go wrong, and when they go wrong on a Laguna ll they go very wrong.

This has to be the worst car I have ever owned and has put me off buying French ever again, and it was green which is the most unlucky colour ever.
