1994 Renault Laguna RXE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear exhaust box fell off on the motorway, quite scary. Others in the company say this has happened to them as well. New battery required at 40,000 miles.
Has just started drinking large amounts of oil, 4 litres in last 5,000 miles. This has not been bottomed, probably because the lease company does not want to pay for it
Otherwise, just normal niggles.
General comments?
Have had the car for 3 years and enjoyed it. Excellent economy with regularly 35 - 37 MPG over thousands of miles.
Bit of a struggle setting off, typical French engine, no torque low down, but will rev very high. Also the suspension could be a bit stiffer. I like the talking dashboard!!!
It is now time for something a bit bigger, shame my budget will not stretch to a decent Safrane.
