Renault Laguna II
« on: 05 March 2011, 20:25:00 »

HI all

Anyone have any experience of these?

Looking about for a replacement for the Astra G we are selling and apart from Omega the only other car that appeals is the Laguna II Sport Tourer.

Read varied reviews, but they are a lovely looking, spacious, safe estate car which is exactly what we are looking for.

Been looking at a couple of 2003-2004 examples, both in very very nice condition and reasonably priced

Owned a mark 1 for a few years and then had a 54 plate or may have been a 55 as a company car, fuel ecomomy was amazing and at that time diesel cost sod all in comparision to today.

Only problem was depreciation but won't affect you  :y

Watch the mileage on the diesels as the Renault diesel is pretty crap when it gets past 80K miles.

For me, Renaults are still very poorly screwed together and uninspiring.

+1 although it seems that if you can coax one past 100k they seem to go forever ,between 80 and 100k turbo's tend to fail and take the motor with them :-X

Sadly, the VX vans have the Renault engines in, they throw rods, cook heads, eat turbos the lot......not many get past 100K!

So worth a punt or not do we reckon?

Lovely looking car, immaculate and well maintained.

Astra is now gone so got to find something soonish
