Dacia Sandero (2013 - 2021) 0.9 TCe Laureate 5d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Nothing really - its functional. I'm not fussed by the badge.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyones commented that its much better than they'd expected - a couple of friends who are top gear fans enjoy ribbing me about it a bit but even they say its pretty good.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - although I might consider the MCV for the extra boot space (but I think I'd stay with the sandero).

What are you likely to buy next?

No idea - I'm likely to keep this one for the next 5 years.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£9,600

When did you buy the car?

March 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

There are no deals - which to be honest I like.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

.

What's it like to drive?

Its not a sports car but its quite fun - I had a 155bhp Mondeo 2.2 Diesel before so its clearly slower but I find that I can still overtake most places I would have done before.

What's it like to park?

Its small so easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No - everything works fine. I'm currently getting 48.5 mpg out of it after 3,000 miles on about 50% motorway driving, this does seem to be edging up with each new tank of fuel.

What's most practical about your car?

Its very cost effective to own. The boot is also much larger than you'd expect, plenty of space for me to take my two kids away.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

MediaNav is good - but annoyingly doesnt do full postcode navigation (you have to use the first part of the postcode and then also supply the street name).
