Should I buy a Laguna?

I am a 71-year-old pensioner and am looking to buy what will probably be my last.

I want a petrol Laguna automatic about three years old and I have found a 2.0 litre turbo Dynamique for £8,600.

Are there any drawbacks to turbo cars? Insurance quote is fine and fuel consumption looks OK.

The main advantage is that a water cooled turbo actually heats the engine up faster in winter, making them more efficient.
