Renault Laguna Sport Tourer (08-12) - Review

The Laguna estate is well equipped for family life. Its elegant cabin is supplemented by tough interior materials and a useful boot with clever features. It's not as bulky as some estates, but it's also not as large - both the Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer and Ford Mondeo estate offer more standard boot space. Some may consider its body style subtle, others dull. Either way, Renault is aiming 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. Where it can't compete is in terms of driving. It lags behind the best with lacklustre handling and artificial steering feel.
