2000 Renault Laguna Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Major problems with the Valeo Card Key fobs. The car was supplied with two card keys. Both keys developed the same fault 10 months apart, the miniature switches mounted on the printed circuit board directly under the lock/unlock symbols come adrift from the circuit board after a period of use. Replacement cost for new key as quoted by Renault dealer is c. £140 each.
Check yours now! Does one of the lock/unlock buttons feel more solid? Chances are you are suffering from switch demount syndrome. Take the spare Cardkey with you so you don't get caught out like I have... twice.
General comments?
Cardkey build quality poor.
Acceleration is noticeably sluggish when moving from standing. My Doblo van pulls off way faster.
Steering does not inspire confidence, well balanced for motorway use, but seems to lose sensitivity at normal road speeds.
Very low laid back driving position, car seating is too low to the ground causing frequent driver head bashing on roof lining when entering the car.
