1997 Renault Laguna RT review from Italy
"Comfortable cruiser if you can live with handful of minor malfunctions"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump produced strange noise, and was replaced at 27 Eur total cost, when it was 160000km on the clock.
Back door leaks still present. However, when back door window is slightly open, water goes somewhere else, but inside the car! Might consider drilling the hole in the door...
Central lock broke after few months, door lock rotates few times prior to catch. For some reason the engine is not coded, hence lock issue does not bother turning on.
General comments?
Comfortable family car was a must, and this turned to be great purchase.
After 70.000km in last 2 years (218.000 on the clock) there was no major problem. Wonder for how many more kilometers though :-)
