This obsession for SUVs is a joke these days. Usually some silly attention seeking woman with blonde hair, big sunglasses but best of all, the SUV is usually the front wheel drive version LOL because they cant afford the PCP payments for the AWD version. Pretentious or what. I dont need an SUV, and neither do most people. Its all about boosting the ego with the "look at me, im in a big car so I must be really special" attitude. Fucking morons. If I need to take a sheep to the vets then maybe id consider an SUV, but id sooner drive an A35 Mercedes.

Lagunas may not be as reliable but having driven both Passat B5 and Laguna 2, I can honestly say that Laguna 2 is miles ahead in terms of comfort, handling, power delivery (both were 1.9 diesels), technological advancement and style. As long as you remember that it's a not a German car and service it accordingly, it's gonna last just as long. In fact, I'm still driving a 2003 Laguna and it's just fine. Surprisingly, the interior and exterior are in a way better condition than most of the Passats from early 00s. Mechanically, everything's also alright, although the Passat gets its point for reliability. If a had to choose between Laguna 2 and Passat B5, I'd definitely go with the Laguna because it's a way nicer car to drive.

They may have had CD changers in the boot. My 1992 Jaguar is like that. I quite like it because it means you can play both cds and tapes, and because you have tape, you can use the tape aux jack thing. Most CD head units from that era lacked aux jacks so thats a good way around it.

This is exactly why the show tanked in the ratings and why the replacement Top Gear in 2002 rocketed to success. They scrapped all these clever inside phrases that only the hosts understood and replaced it with funny lines that the audience could actually understand. It has nothing to do with being inoffensive and more to do with phrases that actually make any sense.
Completely agree on the Mondeo. I think that generation still looks beautiful and classy today. And drives great! Disagree with them on the Charisma though: I think it looks quite cool and much better than most cars in this video. That Laguna was and always will be so ugly..

The Renault Laguna looked good but my new 2001 DCi was hell on earth that days..
Last autumn I was looking for an estate in this class, and it came down to the Laguna MY2005 (restyled version) - spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. I found Avensis and Primera bland, the C5 ugly and the Accord too pricey. The Passat is a good car but it is quite hard to find a well maintained one (at least where I live), and the same goes for the Mondeo. Tip: when bying a Laguna, go for a petrol version.

This was the golden era of comfort and reliability. As a mechanic of 25 years I've seen countless diesel passats, 406s, avensis and a few primeras and mondeos with way north of 500k miles. The Laguna was nice but had too many flaws inc a few that would take the turbo or gearbox out.
Shame they rejected the nissan just on looks. Sr20 engine and multilink suspension giving it higher lateral gs than the Nissan 300zx. Genuinely one of the best cars I've ever been in.

Not just the Passat, the Accord, Primera, Avensis, 626 and Carisma are all still worth it. All reliable motors that just keep going. You could get most of these cars for very little, besides the Accord and the Passat as they have retained more value.
If you get a top end Passat it wipes the floor with every car on this list. The 1.9 TDi engine is like a low flying aeroplane and the handling is brilliant. Mine has done 115,000 miles and it’s still going strong. The interior also just feels superior and more well made than its French or Japanese rivals.

Never had a single problem in 3 years motoring. Then changed up to face lift 22dci initial fully loaded it had more buttons than cadburys. Had 3.years of trouble free motoring with that too. Was quick big time when needed. As i said extremely safe and modern looks. But before the laguna i had a Renault fuego. And then a Renault 25 gtx 2.2 litre petrol missed the on board voice computer wish Renault bought that back to new renaults lol
Yep Mitsubishi really ruined the Carisma when they revamped it. They made it dull and boring before that it had a stylish dash and was not too bad. Why is there a Daewoo badge on the front of the Avensis they are driving? and what a horrible after market grill. The standard grill that comes with Avensis was much nicer.

I would have gotten a mondeo passat or vectra at the time
