1994 Renault Laguna RT review from UK and Ireland
"Shapely family car, but too often painful to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS sensor failed after 1 week. Renault dealer had problems with locating the fault.
Gearbox is a real pain, though it has been reconditioned twice. You can not push the 2nd gear in when the engine is cold.
Apart from that:
- Leaky doors and even the roof
- Bad front tyre wear
- Whole exaust failure at 80000
- Incurable rust in the cooling system
- Driveshaft collapse on the motorway in Germany
- Very scratchy metallic paint
General comments?
Very handsomely styled French automobile, but very sluggish and completely let down by an obstructive, poorly synchronised, cheap gearbox and also high servicing costs at main dealers.
