2001 Renault Laguna Dynamique review from Norway

The electric heating on the right hand mirror is defective.

Periodically the automatic unlock-sensors on the back doors are unstable. Never a big issue, as the front door senors always work.

Both faults fixed at no cost at my local Renault dealer, even considering the car was about five and a half years old.

When I bought this car, I was told from almost everybody I know that this would be a complete disaster. Luckily for me, no one told my Laguna that it was supposed to cause a lot of problems.

Because after nearly a year of ownership it hasn't caused much headache, despite the Norwegian climate (cold, wet) often can cause problems on cars loaded with electronics. And the few problems that have surfaced, my local Renault dealer have fixed at no cost for me. And they offer excellent customer-service, so I've become a loyal customer (I also have a Volvo V50 that I bought new from the same dealer).

Instead I've enjoyed excellent comfort, very good seats that fit my 187 cm long body perfectly, good economics, loads of space and a lots of practical equipment.
