Good Points: Wow - After having had a '95 Cavalier for 6 years this November. '02 Laguna 1.8i 16v Dynamique is a beauty! Style, comfort, quiet, and seems in every way just about perfect!
Bad Points: There have been lots of bad reviews. So far the only thing I have a problem with is a broken catch on the cover over the radio/CD; That's going to be fixed under the 3 year warranty even though I'm not the original owner - great! I do wonder about the 'electric toys' however. I don't like the wheel/tyre pressure sensors, or all the information from the 'computer'. What's wrong with 2 or 3 warning lights?
General comments: I have to say that I just love the overall concept. The general appearance of the Renault Laguna, due to excellent styling is very impressive. The seating is very comfortable with plenty of adjustment. Climate control is good. Running/engine noise is low - in fact it's hard to hear the engine at rest when listening to the 60 watt CD player at just moderate listening levels. The 'toys' are OK if they don't cause trouble - none so far according to the full service history I've got. The 18,000 mile service interval should be ignored in favour of say 12K/annually. Plenty of boot space too. The test for reliability will become evident over time though. If it's as good as its looks then I'm a happy bunny!! I'll keep you posted over the months to come. In 6 years the Cav. only needed a water pump in addition to the usual 'consumables'. Beat that Renault!! I hope so.

Have had a '96 Laguna 1.8 for the last 2 years and it has been very reliable. Little things do irritate though - we are sick of freezing to death because the heater is so pathetic. Also there are leaks around doors and windows, so the carwash is always good for a laugh! Trying to overtake something on the motorway takes a fair while - it just DIES! Have just test-driven one of the new ones - looks sporty and very comfy but seems to have the same engine problem - just not nippy enough to get you ...
