2001 Renault Laguna Sports Tourer review from UK and Ireland

This is a further update on the most hateful car I have ever owned. Finally had the brake issue resolved. I received absolutely no customer care from Olympian Renault in Salisbury. They finally washed the car to compensate for the fact that my car was a health hazard and was off the road for 7 weeks. I have had no further serious issues with the car, but it is slowly falling apart. They were not interested at all, could not care less. How they have ISO 9001 quality certification is beyond me.

The dash has more rattles that a 1 year old and the car chooses when you may or may not lock or unlock the car. Often I have had to open the car with the integrated key, very embarrassing in a petrol station when people are queuing for pumps. I often have to restart then stop the car to left me lock it.

Really, I have tried to like this car. I only have myself to blame. It looked good, was the right price and my earlier negative experience of a Renault 19 16v was forgotten. However this just is not a good car, it does not drive well and is unreliable to the level that it is dangerous. Do not buy one.
