1997 Renault Laguna RN review from UK and Ireland
"Top value 7 seater, but dodgy electrics"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Generally electrics to rear - middle brake light, rear light clusters, boot light (arcing on the contacts, repeatedly).
Central locking to boot.
Also clock electrics failed.
Steering wheel stereo volume control.
Generally noisier than previous older Cavalier.
Position of stalk and other controls means you can't see them past the steering wheel.
General comments?
Great value for 7 seater.
Great versatility for holidays, yet far cheaper to buy and run than M P Vs.
