2003 Renault Laguna Dynamique (Sport Tourer) review from UK and Ireland
"Another make next time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The biggest problem is the gearbox which snatches badly from 2nd to 3rd especially when it is cold.
The engine has a very bad flat spot at low speed in 2nd gear - makes moving off in 2nd from low speeds into traffic dangerous (I use 1st now!)
Rattles from radio cover and front passenger seat headrest - very annoying.
The car alarm went off every night, until the warranty dealer eventually acknowledges the fault and fixed it.
General comments?
It's a real shame that the car isn't put together a bit better.
It looks very good, is spacious and is very good on motorways - very relaxed cruising.
Unfortunately there is a real problem with the way that Renault run their customer support. If a dealer (Renault technician) cannot find a fault that a customer says is there, the customer is WRONG! (or can go to another dealer for a second opinion)
