I know its French, I know it'll be worth 30p at 11.30 tomorrow but it's cheap and it's close.
Can it be that bad a car, looks alright and has loads of gizmos.
Come on, shoot down my Speckled Jim and tell me it's awfull.

My father in law has a 58 plate hatchback one of those.
It's a perfectly decent car, I have no clue why that one is attracting such derision, perhaps prior posters have a far more comprehensive knowledge of the car than I do - perhaps they have given the model a proper, exhaustive test.
Or perhaps they haven't.

I have the same engine and spec in Laguna coupe form. Would happily swap for that estate now we are three.
The engine is a joint effort with Nissan and nothing has gone wrong in the 20000 miles I've had it. Interior trim is a bit rattly in places which is a shame as the materials and design are excellent.
GT spec gets you loads of spec as you say. Great value.

Budget: £450 a month car allowance from work, don't have to spend the full amount as repairs, insurance, tax etc will be down to me, I get a fuel card (Diesel or Petrol).
Requirements: Estate (would get away with a 4X4) no older than 2007. Must be manual as Mrs Plumber won't entertain an Auto.
I like the level of spec and am attracted to the shiny bits like the shallow Magpie that I am, it shouldn't costly to run or insure and its nice and local and the dealer looks ok.
I had a MKII Laguna Estate on that 24 hour (4 days) thing Renault were doing a few years ago and ot was nice and comfy and I liked it.

Years back when these cmae out Renault did a deal with Avis to give you a 48 hour test drive. I did one.
It was absolutely dire. Cheap, nasty, horrible to drive. It actually went wrong on me so I took it to the local Avis who didnt have another one and swapped it for a Mondeo which was basically loads better.

The answer to your requirements has to be a Passat estate, surely?
I'm not sure what question other than 'whats the poorest value way to buy a completely dull car' is answered with a Passat. Heck buy a Mondeo, at least the dull-ness is cancelled out to some degree by the suprising addition of a chassis far more competent than you'd need in such a car.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
