1998 Renault Laguna RT review from UK and Ireland
"A good looking, reliable and comfortable drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with this car. When I took it for a test, the brakes were dodgy, in that they 'Juddered' when braking hard. Also the front tyres were quite badly worn, but these were replaced by the dealer before delivery.
General comments?
The cabin is excellently laid out with all the controls easy to get to, apart from the headlight adjustment wheel which is impossible to get to as my knee is in the way. This isn't something which is uses a lot though, so not really important.
Air conditioning is an absolute lifesaver in warm weather - it's quick and effective, however does smell when first turned on and does have the effect of reducing the power of the engine quite significantly.
Stereo in this model is okay... not the best in the world but it does the trick.
Engine bay is very cramped. There seems to be much more in there than there ever was in the Cavalier!
