2001 Renault Laguna RXI review from Netherlands
"Great value for it's price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There hasn't gone anything wrong with the car so far, only the usual maintenance.
The original good year tires have bin replaced around 50.000 for Michelin Primacy's, which perform far better then the good year's, both in dry and wet conditions.
Distribution belt replaced at 105.000.
General comments?
Considering the small engine the car is pretty fast, handles very good (Even in comparison with the Clio V6 I use in the weekend's). The torque curve is impressive, much torque at low rpm s. The interior is excellent although after five years there are some sounds, but nothing disturbing, and considering the very bad road conditions the car has to go by everyday it isn't strange. Brakes are also excellent, very good feel, and no fading.
