Posts: 1,840 Thanks: 8 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Renault Laguna Tom and I have been offered a renault laguna 2 litre, which apparently runs but needs an mot and an exhaust. Anybody had a laguna and know of anything specific we should look for if we decide to go have a look at it? Also, any ideas about insurance group etc? Ta

![]() | Re: Renault Laguna Family owned one for 3 years and I took it over for 6 months, loved it, absolutely loved it. Far better drive and comfort than my Brava with a much better interior. The 2.0 8v isn't much good though in terms of performance or economy. The specs are more than reasonable, my 1.8 8v RT had: Aircon Renault CD player with steering wheel controls Electric tilt/slide sunroof Electric mirrors Nothing specific that Tom wouldn't notice I doubt.

Posts: 1,840 Thanks: 8 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Renault Laguna oooo spooky coicidence lol got a couple of quotes for insurance for Tom and it will be about £400, so not bad at all. How are they on fuel consumption? Been told should be around £100 to get it through MOT, so could be a winner! Bit of difference to a cinq, be able to put it in the boot ![]()

![]() | Re: Renault Laguna Huge boot, as I said before, poor economy and performance from the 1.8 and 2.0 8vs. Even so, I absolutley loved mine, the driving position, the gear change, the ride and the interior are very good in my opinion.

Posts: 1,349 Thanks: 27 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Renault Laguna Depends how you see poor performance as. Reading the reviews for these cars, some say the 2.0 8v is quick, some say its not that quick. Mind you, im going from a 1.2 litre Mk1 punto, anythings gotta be quicker ![]()

![]() | Re: Renault Laguna Don't go expecting it to be quick, it's not! They are both very calm engines, both nice to drive but you don't get a lot more out of them when pushed compared with normal driving. There's lots of little things that you will appreciate of the cars ![]()
