General comments?

Have had many major and minor problems with the car (See list)

Renault and supplying dealer have shown very limited interest in rectifying faults.

Fuel consumption is nowhere near figures I was shown.

Overall, very disappointing experience all round and I will never buy another Renault.

Reading your comment on things that have gone wrong on your Renault Laguna (especially interested in details re gearbox as I am also experiencing problems).

The gearbox on our Renault Laguna Sports Tourer 1.9DCI, 13months old, which we purchased in Jan 04, is really loose and noisy. It has been to the dealer twice, on the second occasion (now) there is in their opinion no problem. I have a family with three children and have refused to have the car back until the fault is fixed.

Today we asked for a Renault inspection, at which the dealer stated that that would cost him money!!

Is there anyone else experiencing the same type of problem.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
