Car reviews

The Laguna estate is well equipped for family life. Its elegant cabin is supplemented by tough interior materials and a massive boot with clever features. Some may consider its body style subtle, others dull. Renault aims for the Laguna to be placed in the top three in its class for build quality. Only years of ownership will demonstrate its true long-term durability, but progress is evident. It’ll be difficult for Laguna to lure buyers away from the popular and capable Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat estates. But Laguna’s roominess and practicality makes it a good family proposition, nonetheless.
