It's wholly unscientific but nevertheless throws up some interesting numbers. If you've got five minutes, fire up the Auto Trader website, limit the search to cars built since 2008 and compare the numbers you get back from the medium range coupe category. You'll find plenty of Sciroccos, quite a few 370Zs and Caymans, but only a few Renault Laguna Coupes. Rather worryingly for Renault, the paltry sales of the coupe were virtually matched by those of the Laguna hatch but that's another story. If you value an element of exclusivity, the Laguna coupe might well pique your interest.
But isn't exclusivity just a weaselly way of pitching unpopularity? In effect, yes, but it's worth remembering that some cars make much smarter used buys than new and we suspect that the Renault Laguna Coupe matches that description to the letter. So pay attention, don't turn the page and learn a bit about this rather interesting contender.
History
Despite that build up, we're not suggesting the sleek Renault is a dynamic competitor for sporty models like the Nissan 370Z or the Volkswagen Scirocco. It's a more laid back thing that campaigns in a corner of the market that has largely been abandoned by most manufacturers. Down the years, we've seen GT coupes like the Subaru SVX, the Mazda MX-6, the Honda Accord Coupe and the Peugeot 407 Coupe all fall rather flat, their lack of a premium badge not helping their cause. By contrast, the likes of the Audi A5, Mercedes CLK and BMW 3 Series Coupe have done just fine.
Our first glimpse of what would become the Laguna Coupe was back in September 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The prototype on display looked a little more production-feasible than most typical show cars and the real thing appeared at the My 2008 Cannes Film Festival, which isn't one of the normal spots on the motoring calendar to unveil a car but which suggested a certain old-school glamour. Most hacks and public had to wait until October 2008 and the Paris Motor Show to get their grubby hands on the Laguna Coupe and it wasn't until January 2009 that the car started to arrive in UK showrooms.
Where the rest of the Laguna range was treated to fairly extensive revisions in 2010, the coupe continued unchanged, though the petrol engines were quietly removed from the range. Then in 2012 Renault broke out the red pen and deleted a whole series of slow-selling models completely from their UK line-up. This action included all Lagunas, the Modus, the Kangoo and the Espace amongst others. The lifespan of this pretty car was over.

I've had 2.0 150 bhp DCi Tom Tom model for 2.5 years. It's needed replacement brakes, tyre, battery, but it's been totally reliable and all the electrics work. There is a big if turbo-lag on setting off but overall it's a competent car and the boot area is impressive!
I own 2 dci basic model for the last 5 years.Very reliable and great fun.Best car i have ever owned.
I own this beauty for more than 2 years and almost every day i get compliments, weird looks (wtf is that), thumbs up etc while on the road or parking lots. The longest drive was 10 hours drive and i literally havent felt it at all. The car is so comfy that makes me feel sad and uncomfortable when i sit in someone else's car
I been searching auto trader looking at these.
Do these have fog lamps in the bumper???
I like the look of the car BUT I’m not liking the front bumper! I prefer the Laguna hatch GT bumper but they have fog lamps so not sure how hard the swap would be
@@danhancock422 Hey man, they dont have bumper fogs. I would have to agree with you,i dont like bumper and headlights either on this car but silhouette, comfort,power and ass are just beautifuly for this kind of money
@@danhancock422 Lights are different shape, it wouldn't fit.
That was a superb review in all aspects, well done.
A fine car.
I was lucky enough to pick up a 2011 2.0 DCi Tom Tom edition in silver a couple of months ago, from my local Renault dealer, with only 32k miles on the clock, for just over £5k. I'm very happy with it so far, although I can't work out how it's twice as much to insure than my previous car, which was an 08 2.2 petrol Alfa Romeo spider, which was worth twice as much as the Renault.
Never seen one, beautiful looking car…from the rear
Rear is amazing. Front is just normal as well as interior.
You see a few in Europe
Just loved it, have the grandtour model now. It's awesome to. ❤😊
What can you tell from my avatar? I bought my 2009 205GT brand new, now only 6 left in the UK, so ultra-rare! The only problems have been with tyre valves, so they're replaced every 5 years regardless. After the R11Turbo this is my favourite car of all my 50 years on the road. I have no plans to sell it any time soon!
I have a 2012 205 GT, these petrol models are indeed very rare.
Nice car, great for long transits, good perfs if needs be, good sound isolation. Great looks too, but after 160K km reliability starts to be an issue in many corners. 200k are pretty rare.
I love the raer
Biggest diapointment. Had a 09 plate in GT trim. AFter a couple of years the ECU died. Could not get it it fixed si had to be scrapped.
oh damn that's too bad, i really really like this car it's actually very unique where i'm from and there's servicing available since it's a renault. i am very interested in buying it it suits everything i want but i am just so concerned about electronics, just like on your car. can you tell me your ownership experience beside the ECU?
@@thebalkansnorlax5455 Hi, I loved my 2.0 180 BHP Laguna coupé GT. The economy was good, the power very good, interior ergonomics also good. There is a lot to like about this car. Even the 2.0 DCI was reliable. Plus is that it is chain driven so no need for a cambelt. swap. I'd love to own a Monaco GP.
I had the 2010 Monaco GP, loved the car but the DCI engine was awful, slow, noisy and unreliable.
I got one 2011 coupe 2.0dci 150... 87k miles no problem at all...
It’s Definitely not noisy?
Wow, very sexy Car !!!
