"Hopeless pile of poo"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Exhaust fell off about 2 weeks after purchase from main dealer.

Replaced free of charge then got sent a bill!

Ignored them for 3 months and got threatened with court.

Told them to carry on and they went away.

Water pump went at 28000 miles.

Seal came away from front window.

Noisy tappety engine.

General comments?

Underpowered noisy tinny pile of gallic dross that fell apart, the nasty ownership experience being exacerbated by terrible main dealers.

Terrible performance and mediocre fuel economy.

We bought this car, the very base model with no electric bits not even windows as I am aware that the French cannot do electrics, but everything else fell off instead.

It was my wife's car, I wish i'd driven it before letting her buy it.

Awful.

Speaking as someone who has just let his wife buy a Renault Laguna without driving it (or even seeing it), I find this rather worrying.

Cheers Simon.
