Excellent review, Mr Lloyd. It's a really nice car, not as pretty as the 406 coupe, but it's still very striking and distinctive.

Lovely looking car. They type of car I'd like to be driving. Makes me sad that the 2/3 door coupés have all but disappeared from new car listings.

A excellent little review Sir, had forgotten about the Laguna Coupe, it's a pretty car and sounds good burbling away.

Isn't that a sunglasses holder above the driver's seat, where the grab handle would be?

This car has become one of Renault's best-kept secrets. After the problems with the Mk.2 they decided to go headlong into the German market. Their quality-control system was just amazing, but the 2008 crash did for the car's development. If I ever drove into the dealership they'd be holding their breath in case it was more than a bit of puff in the tyres. Else, it was an electronic paper-trail that could take as long as a repair to deal with. There was only ever one "software" update, it was that good! RenaultSport in Dieppe had some high hopes of repeating the Laguna Mk.1 successes. What this led to was some over-compensation of the suspension in the Mk.3 leading to a harsh ride, not helped by fitting dreadful Bridgestone tyres. Once I got rid, the Bose sound system was no longer interrupted by the echoing thrum of the tyres. My car the 205GT, now 15 years old, has passed all its MoTs with no advisories. I have nothing but admiration for the build quality, style and class that makes every trip out in it an absolute joy. There is no replacement that could come close to matching it. This has been my all-time favourite car and despite everyone telling me what an idiot I was, I don't regret my purchase. My previous favourite was the R11 Turbo, with a similar performance and build quality.

Slot opposite from cup holder in dash is for manual loading of the keyless entry fob/key I believe

I own a 2007 Laguna 3 2.0 DCI automatic..it's just great 😃👍🚙.. comfortable and ironically very reliable for a French car .. I've owned it for X 26 months.just had to change rear brakes and discs . including both tear calipers.and the front wheel bearings..uts done to this day 168 0000 kilometers.. so for me it's a keeper..

The slot on the dash is for the keycard Had the same set up on my 2013 Megane

I've had one of these for 2.5 years. It's a nice, reliable car. I'm 5'10 and find the rear headroom ok, but kneeroom is compromised, but that's with the seat set for me driving. The boot has been a revelation especially with the rear seats folded! I'm thinking of changing it for something higher up, but that's an age thing I guess!

One of the prettiest coupes that came out of France in recent times, even Aston Martin reminiscent from some angles (or maybe I’ve been on the sweet sherry). To me only the 406 coupe is a step ahead…such a pity many were diesels.

Thanks for this video. I have only ever seen one of these cars in New Zealand! The styling is very similar to the earlier Peugeot 406 Coupe, isn't it?

I've had the same model coupe for five years and it's a brilliant car mine has the satnav and Bose stereo system got it remapped to 250 bhp and 370 nm torque makes for a lovely drive been very reliable anything I've replaced has been through wear and tear and what you'd expect given the age of the car

Hope you can get parts😭 having seen megane gt turbo nightmare with duel mass and other parts

also needs a good scrub inside ?

Nearly brought the saloon version years ago on an 03 plate .

The car I'd been waiting for since the very first generation of Laguna. Sadly Renault waited too long and these were destined to become something of a white elephant. I considered replacing the Laguna 2 Privilege I owned at the time with a mk3 V6 GT coupe. I've still got the brochure which is a hard backed book. Though the early MK2 Laguna dud have a reputation for electrical issues the facelift model I owned was very very good and the interior was I felt was one of the cars best features. After that Renault went through a funny period where the quality and style of their interiors wasn't of the same standard as previous models and I just didn't feel it matched up to the cars stunning exterior. One car magazine back in the day had the car on its cover with the headline of "£25k Aston". The cars certainly grabbed attention but when it came to people handing over the money it just didn't convert to sales with many probably buying German instead. The Monaco GP from memory had a white dash insert and many of the GT luxuries but without the 4 Control system which may have put off potential buyers fearful of its complexity. It is however a timeless design and never a common sight even during production. You could spec your GT with various colour leather interiors too, my favourite being the tan leather but I'm sure there was a colour even more to your liking sir.

never seen a coupe always seen the four door version ?

Shape reminds me of the old Alpine Coupes.

Nice car but I'd be worried about the parts supply.

Nothing screams performance more than a manual and a turbo!

9:09 its place to put key card bro

Had almost two handfuls Laguna coupes. So the 406 coupe is indeed better than this and the 407 coupe. Did not alot right or wrong the Laguna coupe although the hatch totally hated on used UK market the better overall car to the coupe. Only the rear of the coupe is truely great in design. The front grill can discolour and the design is ok. The GT 2.0t in the 4/5 door was nice in electric blue with suede alcantara interior. I just cannot think of any reason to ‘want’ come get the horn for the coupe, other than price. That is
