General Comments:
My second Renault Laguna now. Overall I am Impressed with its looks, equipment and drive. It does have a few typical Renault faults such as a fierce and stiff clutch and the engine is starting to sound quite tappy, but it has been looked after well and has got many years left in it! I hope!
Performance from the 95 BHP engine is average, you really have to rev it high before you feel anything to shout about, but is smooth, refined and quiet.
The Stereo is the original unit and has many features, but sound quality is poor with not much bass. But the steering wheel remote control is very useful.
The seats are very comfy like most Renaults and I have just fitted some rear head rest which I got from a Scrap Laguna. it was so simple to do as the holes are already there! (finishes the car off nicely!)
Overall a nice looking stylish car.
Would buy another!
