General Comments:
Well it goes like a rocket, is absolutely gorgeous to look it, very sharp to drive, and very comfortable, I do like this car. Stunning in darker colors. Not a common sight on the road - it is good to be different!
Despite being initially unsure as previous Lagunas I had were unreliable, but they have really sorted out later cars, so I'm glad I gave Renault another chance. Yes the turbo failed among other things - but nothing out of the ordinary for the age and mileage. I believe my 2.0 dCi engine is better than the more problematic 1.5 dCi units.
It also can average around 50 mpg on diesel. Half leather seats, sat nav, electrics, the lot, "Dynamique TomTom" model is a good one.
Not worth much at this age and mileage, but I'll hang on to it until it dies, no signs of rust or anything nasty. It's a shame Renault couldn't shake the poor reliability image of previous cars, because this one is much better.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
