I have one of each at the moment and the fL interior is awful quality.

My mini FL has had the FL bumper and side strips added along with the front colour coded which I think is the perfect mix of the two. Just my opinion !

Facelift... all the way!

[x1xv45]

Prefer the facelift - the side view is awesome, rear end a bit tidier, as is the interior, but I agree with other  comments about the strange plastics. Facelift front end being a bit longer and pointier is maybe why the bumpers are often scuffed.

facelift particularly with the irmscher kit

[cem_devecioglu]

old shape.. any day..

[Webby the Bear]

If the options had been:

Old shape, new shape or a proper car....... I could have answered.

you must have another car as well as the Laguna then

I have both on my driveway, both pretty similar spec.  I always jump in the prefacelift

Pre-F/L 

Exterior:

The front of the earlier cars look more aggressive.... the F/L model looks like an Astra.

Door mirrors are hideous on the later cars.

Add F/L bump strips and colour code the black parts of the bumper and you have the best look.

I am endeared by the boot of the F/L though, the little crease looks more modern.

Interior:

With the exception of the door-cards, the Pre F/L is infinitely better than the later cars.  What were they thinking?

A Renault though seriously  :-?

You may say it has needed nothing, but my Omega in 5 years cost me, an exhaust, 2 sets of pads & discs, cambelt, aux belt and rocker cover gaskets, a water pump in keeping with cambelt etc, an alternator, an ABS ECU and a battery. Now half of that list is normal wear & tear on a car, so Omega's bad, I think not. As with your Renault obviously, you get your good one and bad ones.

i think there are good and bad examples of all cars. i have spoken to loads of people (not on this site) and they have nothing but praise for the omega. reliable, comfy, good performance, engine great etc etc but it sounds like u may have got a 'bad 'un'. my point is i think thats rare

Yes mate, have a '56' 5 series BMW and an '09' Mercedes C220 CDi AMG sport, plenty of other things lurking at the moment too, but they're the most commonly driven the others are bought to be sold instantly. I'll give you the link to the pictures
