1997 Renault Laguna RT review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable cruiser, but no power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back box needed replacement as it was dragging on the ground!
Annoying continuous squeak from some belt or other under the bonnet.
On a very rainy day, Wellington boots are required if sitting in the back seat on the windward side.
A bolt on the left hand side of the driver's seat was missing. I removed the bolt on the left hand side of the passenger's seat and brought it to a Renault dealer and ordered a new one. It was then that I found out that the inner and outer bolts are of different sizes (Doh!)
General comments?
For a 1.8 engine, it's very sluggish.
Wouldn't beat Del Boy's van at the lights!
Cruises nicely.
Nice cabin controls - electric s/r and door mirrors, radio controls on steering column.
There is no obvious damage or wear on the rear door seals, but you could have an inch or two of water on the floor on a wet and windy day.
