I’m starting to look around for a replacement car, and with my criteria of comfy, reasonable size and economical, the Laguna 1.5 dCi in theory ticks a lot of boxes.

Do they tick the boxes for comfortable and economical? I do a 200-mile round trip commute twice per week which is all motorway – all I really need is for it to sit at a decent cruise and return >50mpg.

Is a 1.5 going to be horrendously gutless? I can imagine that engine in a Clio, but how does it cope with the size of a Laguna?

And will it work? The last Laguna in the family got bought back by the dealer when they couldn’t rectify the growing list of faults. Have things moved on since then?
