Precise steering, refined engines, quiet, well packaged.
Not the prettiest car, jury out on reliability.
Renault has built a solid, well-packaged car - but it just lacks that certain je ne sais quoi to be able to beat the Mondeo.
The Laguna is a very comfortable drive, thanks in part to the quietness: there's very little road noise and even the wind noise is barely perceptible.
The driving position is also very good, with reach and rake adjustment to the steering wheel (which is flat-bottomed in Dynamique trim and above) and a range of adjustment in the seat that allows drivers of all sizes to find a position that will suit them.
The Laguna is also well equipped in all four trim levels. The base Expression trim comes with 16" alloy wheels, CD/radio, air con, electric windows, electrically heated door mirrors, Renault's keyless card system and leather steering wheel.
Move up to the Dynamique trim level - the best-selling version - and you get chrome cabin detailing, part-leather sports seats, cruise control, front fog lamps and speed limiter.
At the Dynamique S level there's 17" alloys, leather and Alcantara electrically adjustable seats, aluminium dashboard, automatic parking brake, automatic headlamps/wipers and climate control.
The top-of-the-range Initiale trim gets pale wood trim, full leather, sat nav with Bluetooth, a CD/radio with MP3 CD reader, electrically heated seats, electrochrome rearview mirror, integrated sunblinds in the rear windows, rear reading lights, front and rear parking sensors, bi-xenon directional headlights and folding wing mirrors.
There's also a long list of options, including a choice of two Bluetooth and sat nav systems, video screens in the rear, tyre pressure monitor, electric sunroof and metallic paint.
