Renault Laguna Coupe
Discussion
Just a small update.
With this being my first car with DRL, they looked a little naff being halogen bulbs. So having received an Amazon gift card I bought some LED DRL bulbs which improve the front end image somewhat.
I just need to buy some LED sidelights now for when the xenon headlights are on.

I have a mk3 ph2 estate. I traded my 172 in for it after over 100k happy miles.
20k in and I still absolutely love it. Like the rarity as there are hardly any ph2s. Its very practice and very comfy for long distance work. I dont miss the cambelt worries I used to have with the 172. It will need a aux belt soon.
Only gripe is the stereo. I have every option bar the bose pack. Might see if I can retro fit it.

Do the Bose systems come up very often? I wouldn't mind fitting a sub speaker in the boot, seems the standard stereo doesn't come with one.20k in and I still absolutely love it.

I've had my Laguna 3 version 2.0 16v since August 2013 and it's the most reliable car i've ever owned. In that time and having done 100,000+ KM it's only needed regular servicing, new discs and tyres.
I chipped it to 175bhp and then to 190bhp.
6 speed manual, fully loaded with every possible safety gadget, very comfy on the daily commute (85 mile round trip) and an incredibly bullet proof Nissan chain driven engine.
Very smooth but it does lack torque.
I really wanted the coupe with the 3.5 Nissan engine but it was over my budget ( divorce funds!!!!) and the weekly fill ups would have been rather painful!
95% of Laguna coupés here in France are diesel.

Going to look at one of these at the weekend, 2011 150 Tom Tom, how did this car work out for you then? Any advice
That sounds to be the same spec as what I had. Check the rear springs as they seemed prone for snapping, make sure the handbrake works as it's electronic on these.My main gripe was the engine felt laggy and not 150bhp, I remember unplugging the MAF sensor and it ran a lot quicker (albeit with some smoke). The car never had an engine management light up etc but worth nothing.
Oh and check that both seats fold forwards, the handle on my passenger seat snapped as the entire mechanism is plastic.
I'll add that i had a 2009 dci 180 GT with 4WS
loved the car but got a company motor.
Never had any issues but as per the previous poster if i check the MOT history, since my ownership it has failed MOT's for snapped springs.
I'd have another
in fact it was 12 years ago to the date of this post i bought mine^^^ 13/03/2011

Very rare car, I have the 2011 Renault price list in front of me and it is no surprise (not that many people paid list I would imagine)
Dynamique Tom Tom dci 150 = £20500
GT Line Tomtom dci 180 = £25000
GT Line Tomtom 2.0T 205 = £25000
GT Line Tomtom V6 Dci 225 Auto = £28,500
I really like these, I have a 2011 Megane Coupe GT Line, and Renaults of this era seem very well screwed together and well equipped.
