We would tend to agree as an overall purchase 😁
I purchased a Bi Fuel Stepway, amazing low cost motoring.

Great value!
The stepway is best and thats because they offer in a 100hp Bi fuel engine, which gives around 750 miles of combined range ! And in the dusty Khaki color looks amazing. 👌

The range offered with the Bi-Fuel Sandero Stepway is fantastic, plus LPG is less than 50% of the cost of petrol at the moment 😏
I didn't think a video containing these three cars would be this entertaining - well done guys, great job!

I'd go for the Sandero, and save even more money by getting the standard version instead of the Stepway.

The Dacia is incredible value for money. And of course should be the LPG variant if it’s readily available in your area.

Hired a MG3 in Tasmania it was way better than expected tbh. The auto transmission hunting was the worst part. Unfortunately we don’t get the manual. I expected to drive like a 90’s Hyundai excel

Though the most comfortable ride was the Dacia because of the extra sidewall. It just wallows about a bit more than the Hyundai 😂

complaining about the lack of a 6 speed with a weak engine like that in the mg3 actually shows a lack of understanding from the presenters. 5 speed and 6 speed gearboxes paired with similar engines have almost the same minimum and maximum ratio. The gap between the gears however is different, which means that with a 6 speed, you are in the optimal power band of the engine more, but, need to change gears a lot more too. Having tried both, the 5 speed regular sandero actually drives substantially better than the 6 speed stepway. You change gears a lot less, you can sit in 4th from 30 to 50 mph, and the turbo easily carried the engine enough to compensate for the lack of "optimal power band in every gear", it's just about strong enough to push through. Yes, it means you go ever so slightly slower off the line, but, you also don't need to constantly juggle between 3d and 4th or 4th and 5th all the time at 30 or 50 mph respectively. And it sits at 70 mph at 2400 rpm, versus 2200 rpm with the 6 speed gearbox, so it does not worsen the fuel economy on the motorway by much. Dacia is actually very wise to have put a 5 speed box back into the regular sandero, the regular sandero is more likely to spend it's life in suburban areas, where the highest speed limit encountered most of the time is 60 mph, and in that scenario, the 5 speed box makes perfect sense. the stepway tends to be bought more by mums for school runs etc, and is likely to be used for longer trips to visit family, go on holiday etc, so the 6 speed makes it generally slightly quieter on motorways. The 5 speed gearbox in the mg3 makes perfect sense, there is no turbo so less emphasis on being in that "optimal power band" to spool up the turbo, it has a similar amount of grunt in low or higher revs, 6 speed would make it feel substantially worse and a chore to drive with constant gear changes...

Not all of us are slaves to convention. We're well aware that would be the case in say, a Mazda MX-5. What we specifically want in this scenario is an overdrive sixth gear, for economy and NVH benefits at motorway speeds.

@BuckleUpShow I would love that too. Sadly though, so far, I have not encountered a petrol 6 speed box that works just like a 5 speed but with an overdrive gear. It does not seem to exist. I have seen it on a couple diesel cars though. They seem to just be similar to a 5 speed box, but with tighter gaps between gears... it technically saves on fuel as you don't rev as high between gears, but you pay for it with clutch replacements...
Definitely the i10. I like a firm ride around town.

@@BuckleUpShow😂 I had the poor luck of the C-zero, but given the age difference, I can forgive them. 13 years on, MG and Dacia are still producing such tripe. If I wanted something like this, I’d 100% get a six month old car that won’t make me want to end my life every time I got behind the wheel
