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

Had a diesel years ago 55 to the gallon all day long never any problems

Was it the mark 2 mate?

 

[davethediver]

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

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

Had a 1.8 on a 2004 dynamique engine and gearbox were great body was fab as wings etc were plastic, But the electrics were a knightmare the keycard reader broke twice and just general electrical gremlins,spent half my time on the renault forum,On the plus point it was a joy to drive.

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
