I work at Dacia factory and so does my wife and my father. My mother and grandfather worked there as well (he helped building the factory in the 60s). I grew up in Mioveni and I still live there. I never had any other car besides Dacia. Me and my family had Dacia 1310, 1410, SuperNova, Solenza, Logan, MCV, Sandero and now Duster. I can tell you that Renault saved the factory back in 99 when they came to Mioveni and they did an astonishing thing with the brand. I'm so happy Dacia lives on and has gotten to this level of fame and appreciation

That's the Mat I love. Reviewing a Duster, and comparing it to R8. Making the potential customer of a Duster feel special by doing a full review will all things considered. Full format review. Classic Mat.

We have 5 Dusters at the firm, 2020 model. They work fine, never had an issue, they are fast enough for motorways and tall for country roads.

Duster is like cars used to be in the past: easy to drive, simple to repair, cheap to buy.

I’ve had mine 2 weeks and driven 1000 miles through France in it. I can safely say that all the 5 ‘issues’ mentioned are irrelevant. It’s a fantastic car for the money, there is no excessive road noise, the cruise was fine on the French roads and the blind spot sensors are super helpful. 4 adults with luggage and a baby seat in the middle. No issues with comfort or room. I think the clowning around distracts from the review and makes people lose interest. It’s a great car and I’m happy about saving 10 grand over the price of the Civic I had before. It was a very wise move.

Many cars have a remote opening fuel lid, and have had them for many years, I cannot see why that is even an issue, and as far as the soft suspension goes we are back to slagging of the very thing that gives the vehicle any off road prowess without any explanation, the two wheel drive has firmer suspension as it does not need to keep all its wheels in ground contact to maintain traction due to the fact that it wouldn't be in that situation, due to pushing the extra metal the 4x4 version doesn't quite get the same to the gallon as my conventional one, the only real criticism I have is the rather light tow weight, my old Discovery was three and a half tons, but at thirty three to the gallon as opposed to fifty eight point seven (my best yet), you can't have everything. When you next criticize a four wheel drive for soft suspension could you please qualify why it has it or can we see Ferrari's criticized for lack of ground clearance when off road, fair is fair.

a fact about duster is it has lower ratio 1st gear for off-roading, so that some of the drivers around here prefer to launch in 2nd gear

I must admit I did laugh at the how to let a fart of the cabin bit! 😂 Thing is the quoted 0-60 time was more than likely for the 2wd diesel version and not the 4wd as it has a different gearbox than the 2wd with a shorter 1st gear for downhill decents when offroading. Yes it will be noisy when accelerating but all diesels are. I think they're cracking value for money and a good buy.

You could just import it

I recently bought a FWS petrol 1.3 turbo and I love it! I prefer to call the (what you describe as) "scratchy" door and dash plastics as "easy wipe clean". OK, performance is not lightening fast but it's not a Ferrari and is very much more than adequate, as is it's road holding - the extra ground clearance soaks up most potholes like they were never there but I have found it to be more than able in country lanes and twisting corners, and can easily keep up with whatever is in front of it. I prefer not to think of it as a cheap car (as it is very well kitted out), but more that other cars are too expensive!

It's satisfying reading the comments and noticing that dacia finally had a good reception there. Greentings from Argentina.

Buy Buy Buy! I have my Dacia Duster 2018 Prestige version and It's honestly the best car ever for me. 0 problems so far and I am at 45k kilometers as of now.

I bought the Duster Extreme Special edition. I think it's great, I love an underdog. The heated seats have 1 setting and come on and off. The little cipholder I use for a California scents air freshener. The other 2 aren't an issue except the back one with the arm rest can end up covering it up. The side seel definitely does touch the back of your legs. I've driven the car in snow and it did very well, better than the other people I was around. Its not fast at all but it doesn't feel as slow as it is. What I like that Matt doesn't go into is there's a good amount of storage under the seats, so under the passenger seat I've got a bunch of things. The headrests are very hard which is about the only bad thing I can say. It's got lots of cheap plastics but it's cheap and it keeps the car from being a full on family car and keeps a bit of a rugged off road feel which is what I like most about this car, it doesn't feel like it's just a useless over sized hatchback, it feels like it's got serious purpose

Loved this car, owned for 6 yrs but renault didn’t care to give proper updates despite ruling the segment and being the one with best ride and space at that time.

Matt you forgot to give us a review of M&S and Tesco. Should we avoid them, shortlist them, consider them or go right ahead and buy from them 🤔

Appears to be a fairly decent vehicle. I still am convinced that this could do well in Australia , with the bigger petrol engine, Auto tranny & AWD.

Why is the fuel filler annoying? Seriously Matt that’s almost universal in Australia. Personally I don’t like having my fuel filler open all the time.

in more expensive cars, they fuel filler is locked shut when the doors are locked. This is achieved by a solenoid which would add cost and complexity, and dacia are a bare bones kind of brand

@@RD19902010 Yes i know, but thats because Alfa are not trying to make the cheapest car possible. Base model hatchbacks back in the early 90s had fuel flaps that only unlocked when you pulled a lever in the cabin... but again, that added unnecessary cost to the car. You either care about car cost, or you care about security and other nicities

Our Sandero Stepway is brilliant. 4 years of trouble free motoring at the moment.

6:50 I *hate* the automatic window scroll, it just feels so counter intuitive. Most of the time when I want to open a car window, *I don't* want it to go all the way - and before I get a chance to stop it from scrolling too much, it's already past the intended stop. And it becomes annoying to try and adjust. I would like a window system that allows me easy *control* of the opening length, thank you!

Double tap the button in the scrolling direction. Bidirectional control of the automatic window scroll does do that to you, yes.

What Dacia keeps doing for Renault is truly amazing.

Mine just arrived, getting it next week. That was 5 months since I ordered it. They did have to deliver it without the screen because, chip shortage, so I'll have to wait for that one but I'm super excited to get my Duster. It's a cute little SUV and I don't care how budget it is - it's cheaper than many used cars I could buy, it drives nicely, and it costs peanuts to repair if anything breaks. I've been waiting for a carwow review of it since before I ordered it though. I'm glad there's one now XD

I like Duster from 1st gen. The ratio performance/money/reliability is good. 2nd gen started to look nice and its getting better. I would love to have one of these.

It’s a really great little suv. Fuel efficient diesel and really likeable. Capable light off-roader.

Light off-roader that absolutely surprises and surpasses any expectations in sand. Drifts like a dream albeit with a bit of understeer at first. Fun, cheap, decently sized aftermarket, perfect for Romanian roads or bad roads in general.

Do these come as 4x4 as standard or is it a module type you can chose because I can't see anything on the site but a family friend says his is really quite good

8:20 My 1996 Peugeot 106, Phase 2 - the XR trim level - had gas strut on the bonnet. When I purchased my 2001 Renault Clio 2, Phase - with many more luxuries - I was quite surprised when I noticed there were no gas struts holding the bonnet up... Small little details for those who like to check their car's fluid levels...

Is door mirror a thing in english? I thought it was side mirror or side-view mirror?

Usually love the CarWow reviews although this one pissed me off a little bit. Just because it's a cheap(er) car doesn't mean you should treat it like shit and treat it like a joke.

For the 0-60 mph, you should have tried starting in second gear. First gear is very low.

I don't really see the reason, it would make video longer and after all, if you wanna get any car on this channel you would definitely dig out more information elsewhere, not only on carwow and so you can find it yourself. But with today's cars, the rating is flawed anyway cuz shitty cars that won't stop people inside car getting hurt, but has a shit-tone of assistents will get better rating than car that has almost no assistents but in a crash, it would perform much better

Hi, will you be reviewing the new Nissan juke hybrid. I always take note of your reviews, valuing your opinion. Cheers

i think that the carwow presenter is NIT PICKING, ive had one for 8 years and for the price its great value , ive no issues with stupit things he has commented on , is a value car and it does what it says on the discrpition,

Not a bad car, amazing what standard features you get on cheap cars.

Would like to see a review on the MG HS some day!

I don't know if the car is out yet in the UK, but I'd really like to see you review the Dacia Spring.
