1999 Renault Laguna Reviews - Page 4 of 5

The Airbag & ABS lights would light on occasion and would then extinguish after standing for a while.

I traced the Airbag problem to the driver's seat - intermittent connexion.

The ABS was a little more of a problem!

It turned out that at some time in it's life the power line to the near-side road speed sensor had been snagged and the connecting plug torn off.

This had been repaired by simply soldering a piece of twin cable in it's place and covering with shrink wrap.

Unfortunately the shrink wrap allowed moisture access and the soldered joints corroded, causing poor conductivity, hence the warning light.

This was replaced and all is well.

Quiet, comfortable and smooth vehicle.

Ideal for the family man that does a large annual mileage.

Nothing yet.

Quiet, comfortable, reasonable handling, clear controls.

Automatic transmission not nearly as smooth as my previous car (a Vauxhall Senator). Also noisier. Took some getting used to.

I like the climate control and cruise control.

Rear visibility a little restricted. Small glovebox, not much storage space for maps or tools or whatever.

The clutch has started to show signs of wear at about 65000 miles.

Occasional reports of problems with the ignition system from the voice computer that doesn't exist.

Apart from that, no problems at all.

The acceleration is extremely rapid. 0-60 in 7s is easy to achieve, even with a full tank of fuel.

The Laguna RTI V6 is very understated and can out perform just about any standard production car on the road, barring Porsches and Impreza Turbos.

The cabin looks a bit boring, but it has climate control, cruise control, electric sunroof, trip computer all as standard. In fact the only extras I specified were a 6 CD autochanger and metallic paint.
