Worth going for 2008 Renault Laguna?

We are thinking of buying a 2008 Renault Laguna 1.5 diesel; are they as good on fuel economy as they claim they are and would it be a good family car?

Hi Gerard,

It’s a very good family car from the point of view of safety and comfort, and yes that 1.5-litre diesel is hugely economical (you should see better than 50mpg on a regular basis). You just need to keep a close eye on electrical items such as the central locking, the key-card and the windows and beware of traditionally steep depreciation for large French cars.
