Renault Laguna 2.2 dCi

I’m a girl so clearly I am not going to be able to tell you about a car!!!! Oh except it’s blue I can manage that. My dad wanted a new car, he used to have a Toyota he liked that but wanted something he could show off with a bit something a little faster, something slick and well Mum wanted something practical… Dad and I went around looking at all sorts of cars, BMWs, Volvos, you name it we looked, we looked at the Renault Laguna and I quite liked it but it was nothing special really it was a sensible boring car, quite nice looking and well designed but they are really common ... more

I reserved the car from the Renault website (Renault to go) with only 6 miles on the clock.

I bought my first ever estate car slightly by accident - I was trying to sell my sisters People Carrier for her and a chap wanted to part exchange. It also happened to be my first Renault, but with a full service history and an engine running sweeter than a Cadbury's Flake on a Sunday, I thought I'd give it a go. Whoops. It's not that the Laguna is a duff choice - far from it.

This thing was ... more
