I have recently got my hands on 2003 Renault Laguna for an extremely good price as a run around while I look for a permanent car and I have to say it is definitely worth the money, there is plenty of room for the kids in the back. The fuel lasts a good while too probably getting around 45+ mpg out of it. The only thing I was let down with was its reliability on a couple of small things. Over all I was happy enough with this purchase.

My first ever car was a Renault Clio. I only have very fond memories of it! The only reason I got rid of it was because I got a company car with my first real job.

It was a great wee car, fairly cheap to insure and tax, and easy on petrol. Very nice to drive, and while I kept it serviced well, never had any mechanical problems at all.

Mine was the "Expression" model, which wouldn't have had many of the fancy extras, but was still stylish and nice inside.

I've had this car a year now and put 20K miles on it, (70K total) only problem was a broken drop link bar, not expensive to fix and driver’s seat belt is very slow to coil back when released. Refined in town and on motorway, comfy seats and has one the best diesel engines around in terms of quietness and smoothness. 60mpg isn’t hard to get which doesn’t drop much when towing and with a good sized tank means almost 700 miles to a tank between files. Was sceptical when first buying due to Renault reputation with reliability, but so far has proved to be very good. Now for a new timing belt.

This is a nice car to drive, but poorly engineered. There were constant problems with the electrics and mechanical components which cost a fortune to repair when it was out of warranty. Even when it was in warranty Renault would dispute whether these were a fault or normal wear and tear eg brake discs which required replacement after 20,000 miles. Intercooler was replaced twice within 16 months and Renault refused to cover it. I estimate I spent £3000 on unnecessary repairs.

As a daily Belfast commuter, it's great for getting me from A to B. Low insurance group, reasonably fuel efficient and few repairs required. It's reliable even in the harsh wintery conditions we seem to be bombarded with every year. I broke the sunroof, but who needs one of those in this weather :) Also my CD player keeps turning off and my temperature display constantly reads 29degrees, but as well, gives it a bit of personality!
