Spacious, economical and good handling
Expensive parts & visibility problems
The Renault Laguna I have is a 2000 W reg 1.8 16V sports model. The 1.8 engine gives it a fair amount of power with 120bhp which is good for motorway and town driving, but it's never going to keep up with anything that actually is "sporty".
One surprise is the handling, for a fairly big car it doesn't wallow around corners and has a lot of grip (due to large 205 tyres) Petrol consumption is also quite good for a large car.
One complaint would be forward visibility at junctions etc. The side pillars seem to always block where you want to look and I always find myself bobbing back and forward to see what's to my right. Parts are also very expensive unless you'll settle for second hand.
Overall a very good buy.
