[cem_devecioglu]

one very close friend bought yesterday..and today I was in..nice car but not a mig..and I like the talking lady.. saying somewhat similiar emissions failure.. (have LPG OMVL)

and the triptronic gearbox was practical..

may get use to it, the lack of comfort, power, quality, street cred, indivuduality, also the color is a bit gay

its a shame its not a v6
 

[unlucky alf]

are these cars [loose terminology ] the ones that have a coil thing on each of the leads that go on average every 12 months?, i recall a friend of mine that works in a motor factors telling me the coils are one of their no1 best sellers, but dont panic in case ive got it wrong :-/, but i think i`ll stick to a lovely comfy non french mig,

[Del Boy]

They do have a few major reliability probs, tyre pressure sensors and the card that starts it costs overa grand to fix so a m 8 was telling me, nice looking though and the V6 model does shift.

Could be :-/  A work mate has a Renault Scenic and that's had a few ignition coils while he's had it.

the card only costs 150 quid, or apparently old cards can be reprogrammed to a different car, have just bought oine for a tenner to try it

He took his to Renault

[Bacon Butty Man]

......one of life’s' rich stories cem 

[James Q]

i had a renault once, never ever again!! spent longer in the garage then it did on the road!

[Vmax]

My Laguna's auto box went bang at 70K 

[James Q]

my turbo kept going bang on me! hence why i'll never have another turbo car!!

[Vamps]

Well I have a Citroen C4  Grande Picasso, 7 seater thing. Very comfortable and so far, nearly 2 years old, totally reliable. Semi Auto high 40's mpg or into 50 if drive like Loo Knee............

[omegadti]

my brother has a laguna - one of his xenons has gone - he took it to Renault and they told him they have to dismantle the front of the car to take the headlamp out and with parts it's about £450 to fix.   Then there is his passenger window that keeps falling down, the lady with the nice voice has been turned off 'cos she kept telling him his car was rubbish and all his tyres are apparently flat!!!

  And I thought Vauxhall's HIDs were expensive!  :-? 

[omegadti]

at least WE can get to the headlamp without removing the bumper, the front panel, the radiator and who knows what else - I changed a sidelight bulb for him and was lucky not to lose a finger or two!
