2002 Renault Laguna Dynamique review from UK and Ireland

Electrical ignition fault has come on twice.

After this has happened I noticed that it was after refueling and if I stopped the engine and locked the car it would remove the problem.

Apparently its due to a fault Turbo pressure switch that cuts off the turbo, hence the limp home mode.

The new Laguna II is my 5th Laguna and I have to say that apart from the niggle of the ignition fault I have had 20K of faultless comfortable driving.

I tow a caravan and this car has amazing pulling power which is way above its class, plus the wide track gives it good stability.

The level of trim is impressive and the half leather helps with the kids spills and food remains.

I think the above reviews are over the top from people who expect something that's not achievable, remember this is a Renault costing 17k not a BMW or AUDI costing 25K but look it has twice as many extra's including. You'd never get half leather, air con, CD, electric sunroof, alloys, spots, spoiler included on a BM or Audi.

I also had a pressure sensor light up, but a check of the pressure showed it was over inflated so a few pounds removed and all was well.

So over all I rate this car very highly, I know its got a few electrical faults, but the ride, economy, equipment and general ease of use massively out weigh any small faults.
