1998 Renault Laguna RT Sport review from UK and Ireland
"A cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just one hour after buying the car (privately) the cam belt broke. This took 3 weeks and £1100 to sort out - turning what was a keenly priced car into a fairly expensive one. The cam belt was due to be replaced at 72,000 miles so no idea why it went so early. The car had been AA tested and MOT'd the day I bought it so I'm putting it down top bad luck rather than bad judgement.
General comments?
Great comfort and lots of in-cabin toys.
Particularly good on corners (is this for all Laguna's or a special set up for the Sport?)
