Renault Laguna 2.0T Coupe Review: Love me and leave me

What we like:

Stylish looks and that hot rear-end

comfortable ride

convenient features like the front seats that return to their original positions after allowing passengers into the rear.

What we dislike:

Lack of GPS and reversing camera

cabin is (largely) the same as in the hatchback

asking price is expensive.

Considering this car's laid-back nature, the Laguna Coupe would really suit drivers seeking a "chilled" weekend car.

While it can be said that most people who can afford a weekend ride would probably go for the sporty option, there's still a good number of drivers out there who actually want the exact opposite - they want a car that they can take out for long, leisurely drives, without having to sacrifice ride comfort or practicality.

In fact, the Laguna Coupe needn't be restricted only to weekend duties. It just doesn't deserve to be loved only for the weekend and left behind when Monday comes around.
