Faults:

Turbo failure.

Oil leak.

Air con stopped working.

Suspension mounts failed front and rear.

Engine management light on = cleared with fault code reader, no apparent fault.

Clutch feels "different" lately, but has not failed.

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.

Faults:

Right front loudspeaker was changed during the first week due to a defective woofer (It was giving some rattling noise between 90Hz and 100Hz frequencies).

The dealer was effective.

The cup holder has a dull articulation that was sometimes giving a shy rattling with low RPM while closed. Fixed by putting a thin sponge in between the articulation. It simply doesn't bug me.

General Comments:

The car is generally well built with an exquisite interior execution (apart from the cup holder toy).

The driving position is correct, and the handling improvement was tremendous concerning the last model.

However, the increased stiffness of the suspension is giving a much more german ride rather than french. Which isn't bad.

On B roads it can jiggle a bit more than expected; maybe due to the rear suspension type.

Sound isolation from the exterior is excellent.

Smart interior.

Not much wind noise.

It saves fuel if driven properly.

Comfortable and peaceful ride.
