1997 Renault Laguna RT review from United Arab Emirates
"An excellent car compared to others of the same class and price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bumper paint peeled-off easily after repainting by the Service Center.
Front bumper mis-aligned after repair by the Service Center.
Paint scratched easily.
Radiator leaks after travelling more than 400 kms.
General comments?
Excellent overall performance. Very smooth gear shifting and braking.
Spacious room for luggage but has a very difficult to open and raise hatchback door. Comfortable and excellent seats of its class. Power steering is not good or smooth.
A very fast car, high torque, fast acceleration and sporty!
