I bought it and it's my only car and I would say it's alright. Prestige has all "basic" blows and whistles you could ask for (I mean do you really need city stop brake system, auto parking, lane monitor, Itp?).
Also the ride isn't as dynamic as other cars but then again you don't buy budget cars for racing. I can comfortably go 55km/h from highway in 270°, 100m circumference, slip road without wheel squeel and without extreme body roll. When I let engine get to higher RPM it also accelerates fairly OK (not BMW levels of fast but more like cheaper hatchbacks).
The only thing (Lub 2) I hate on my Prestige 4×4 1.6 petrol is first gear – it's so short I usually go from second one and no sensors in front – I have to rely on camera.
Waiting for automatics in dacia range before i buy again. Not sire when there comming.
Mark, you need a spin-off channel. I'm finding your content isn't coming thick and fast enough lately…. I need my fix of jovial Geordie banter.
Pretty good car then.
I'll have one of these. Not fluff & fuss. I can spend the rest of the money on proper things.
studnia, for the money I'd rather have a secondhand Suzuki Vitara or Ssangyong Tivoli – at least you know corners haven't been cut (eg corrosion protection) and they drive properly and safely.
My Friends dad has a Dacia Sandero 2016 and after 46.000 km the cars engine died lmao
Hi all This is the second Dacia Duster we had the first one was the top of the rangeLaurent diesel we had it for 6 years Not a thing wrong with it 😎We got the top of the range prestige now the 1.3 tse Another great car can’t find no faults in it So much better than the first one and quieter 😀
Worst car ever , dislike
Sorry mate, but not all of us can afford an BMW or Mercedes…
I'm considering this (gasoline version) as a replacement for my 2005 Hyundai classic (I think it's called). I need something that can take my new urban lifestyle while at the same time fitting my empty wallet.
With that in mind, any reasons why I shouldn't go for the duster?
sounds like a crybaby troubling with driving
It's one of the best mini-SUV ever….and l'm not talking about the price!!
Duster looks like a car designed for men. Most SUVs except maybe for G class , Jimny or Lada niva look so womenised that is no wonder that 9 na zewnątrz 10 are driven by women. This is an unfair review and any Dacia owner can confirm this. This car has be understood. Unlike other suvs where you work to pay for the car this car works for you and the family as it provides a cheaper alternative than public transportation, is about freedom and being chilled and relaxed even when kids spill something on the backseats or the car gets the first scratch. It's ok, a scratch will give the car even more character!
Imagine that people who buy this car were driving the dacia Logan or the Matiz or cars like that so having AC or electric mirrors is something amazing. I don't like the duster because it's not safe in case of a crush but I think the basic model is a good work horse to trow around and make money with it.
I't's not surprising that the reviewer is 'disappointed' with the Duster as he's not the target buyer for this. I'm early 50's and when I was younder I'd be exactly the same – much more interested in having a better experience, more technology, image etc. However as I've grown older these things get less important and a simple family runaround for a good price is what I need now. The Dacia covers what I need perfectly. If I was 30 then no way would I look at one – I'd laugh at it, but I'm 50+ and now laugh the other way. Dacia are just targeting a different buyer and for them it's pretty much the perfect car.
As all British car journalism, they are critical of everything
Company's buy the duster most, even in our work all cars are mostly duster, my work car is duster 2017 with 115k km on it for work car it is perfect
A very nice 4X4 SUV , I own the diesel model. It has all you need , not the fancy things that will give you problems and nobody would be able to fix them.Spacious , it runs very smoothly , electric supported progressive steering. One of the last cars to, Nadal ,have a full size tire as spare , other cars now have only "repair kit". Pricewise the best SUV for a family in Europe.
Best review of the duster I've watched. I wanted to like it because of price but too many little annoyances add up. And the deal breaker as a family of four was the 3 star safety rating. There are plenty of used SUVs which are far superior quality.
We have got the prestige it’s a great car don’t listen to him
Well it's great you don't like it Duster, very soon you will get lost from Europe 🇪🇺 so probably Dacia will not sell there anymore cars with steering on wrong I mean right side
Finally an honest review for this car.
a £7000 duster will last you for ever 10yrs
buy a bmw x5 and lose lots n lots of money…shit loads of money..I know somebody who lost £20K IN TWO YEARS…
Another total shitbox from Renault.
Harsh words for duster,the second place in the top sales suvs in europe:)…yes..nr 2 in europe..no rival for his price.
Probably one of the few 4x4s left that owners wouldn't be too scared to actually take off road.
The french peasants like them, plenty on the road here. A guy at work bought 2, one each for him & the wife. As the Nissan is around double the price this was the realistic option for their budget.
1.3tce 150 makes it more of a pokey ride….but come on – you can get a 2018 Kajar with 8k miles on the clock for £15k, which looks better inside and out, has nicer materials and features and drives nicer.
Great reviews as always Mark. Love that 'Dacia Way I Like It' t-shirt! Where did you buy it from?
An interesting and fair review, jak zawsze.
I've never driven any Dacia, but just yesterday as a bobbed and weaved and banged along the UK's shite roads, I thought why do British motorists apparently turn their noses up at soft riding cars, such as the Duster, even if the notion of a soft ride?
Maybe it's my happy memories of soft riding French cars my family had when I was a kid, but I think there's much to be said for comfort, even some roll, over 'sporty' Zawieszenie. Maybe I should try a Duster…?
