Renault Laguna III - 2.0dCI Sport Tourer Owner's Review - Alanovich
I reckon it's always been a bit lower than Ford on that scale, WDB. In 1983, when my Mum was looking for a smaller replacement for a Triumph 2000, I suggested the Vauxhall Astra. "Nope. Working man's car, a Vauxhall", came the reply. Which is odd, considering we were very much a working class family. A couple of years later, she was happy to buy a Ford Escort (Mk3). Ghia, of course. She still says that was the best car she's ever had.
