renault Laguna Sport Tourer Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 1.9dci Privilege 2005

This is my first Renault and to be honest I was not sure to expect. But after collecting the vehicle from Essex and driving it back to the Wirral on less than a 1/4 tank of diesel, my first impressions grew. Needless to say after a few weeks the little annoying faults started to materialise such as a squeak / rattle from the centre console, especially on tick over also the GPS element of the sat nav does not operate. But over all I am impressed with the performance and economy of the 1.9dci engine whereby I am returning anything between 675 miles and 750 miles per tank, admittedly majority of this is motorway driving. Regarding comfort levels again the Laguna is very comfy on both short journeys and long journeys including an 8 hour drive to Paris. The only downside is the boot area as this can be restrictive when carrying high items as the height level from the floor to the roof lining is not the best in its class. If anyone is contemplating buying a Laguna, then I suggest you go for it as you get a lot of gadgets (no cup holders though at the front) good performance whilst bringing good economical figures for your money... good luck.
