It pulls well...it handles like a dream... is rather frugal for a car of its size and is very comfortable...normally i get bored of cars after 2-3 months but its nearly a year old in my service (its done 105k miles so far) but it still feels amazing to drive and keeps me interested

Stunning look. Good value for money. Tires are expensive 225/45 r17 Extremely comfortable and practical Normal tear and wear after 9 years old (ie. shock absorbers, electrical window) Front suspension assembly very fragile. maybe too heavy at front? Currently have clicking cv joints, on previous mots i have always paid to rectify some rubbers due to wear and play. I have had two broken coil springs too in the past 4 years in the front. I still like the car but running costs are getting expensive.

I'm the second owner, the first being my father. The car has nearly done 165000 miles, now has some rust issues and central locking faults, but still runs well and is quite economical. I can't afford to change the car so i'll run it as long as can

Has been a good and mostly very reliable car. the state of the kent roads (shocking) did for the car suspension more than once - same with most other car makes (even land rovers). Have missed the standard faults that have been reported as affecting the laguna 2. Have just changed my car to a 10 plate megane sports tourer diesel, but too early to feed back.

Very capable, very good levels of kit, nice to drive, good handling, roomy, good hatchback shame its let down by high spare parts prices/high dealer costs, several manufacturer deisgn fault issues which are still current on new models. Fuel consumption not as good as vag. Again design fault issue with egr (exhaust gas recirculation valve) which appears to need regular repalcing

The car is excellent, It gives me excellent economy, and a very comfortable ride. It is light on tyres (43+k) from the rears, and still original brake pads. Performance on the motorway is excellent, it corners with ease and presision.

Until recently i was a relatively high mileage user - 100 mile commute, hence nearly 70 000 miles in less than 3 years. The car recently had its first mot with no issues, rear tyres are original as are brakes. Very pleased with all aspects of the car.

This is the best renault (i have owned 3 previously) i have had. It is fast, economical and comfortable and has a high level of spec (eg twin level aircon, elec sunroof, courtesy light on all doors) and is a good workhorse. I have had only one problem in the year that i have owned it (broken drive belt) and am very very pleased with it.

Suspension failure <60k miles <6 yrs old is appalling - renault were not interested - could have been fatal !! Electrics totally unreliable everywhere. Rear seat belts almost impossible to fasten - not just my car other laguna estates have same problem of fastener access. Spares parts costs from renault are expensive - 3rd party suppliers that are equally as good are 1/3rd the cost.
