I can be heard in many places singing the praises of motoring underdogs. I have after all bought an MG5.
Dacia is one of which I have no experience but have long admired them as cheap and cheerful.
Go for it Rob.

Aren’t they Renault’s now? :pleading_face:

Yeah, the 1.5 diesel is and it uses a Clio floor pan I think(?).

Renault is plastered all over the car (look at the etching on the windows, for example). Heating controls are all Renault.
If yours has the full spare wheel make sure you check it first. We had a slow puncture a couple of weeks ago and I went to put the spare on - it’s a completely different sized tyre!

You’ll be telling me next that they include all the air in the car in the base price too - madness!!

I think I have the bucket of goo in place of the wheel unfortunately.

A fellow school gate Dad works for national grid who has a fleet of Dusters. Aside from the very short range from the tiny fuel tank and that they seem weirdly susceptible to punctures, they’ve been bombproof.

Of course they do, it isn’t like they are BMW.

Our puncture was due to hedge cutting in the lanes round our way. Plenty of blackthorn needles on the road. When we took the tyre to get fixed the fella said they’d had plenty of the same issues.
Country problems :roll_eyes:

This is no time for half measures. If we’re going to be fucking stupid, it’s time to be really, really fucking stupid.

Let’s just consider that if Dacia have managed to take Renault designs and parts and actually make a car work most of the time, that is a considerable achievement given the example of what Renault themselves did with the Laguna.

I hadn’t realised that a car had been named after me, love the dash.

:face_with_raised_eyebrow: You’re confusing me with someone who isn’t a cunt.
