Dacia Sandero (2013 - 2021) 1.5 dCi Laureate 5d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't imagine a car sold by virtue of keen pricing is going to have much of an image. But that's the point. image means nothing at the end of the day.

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

Everyone who has driven it is positively surprised- they all loved it, impressed with the specification, the price, the power, economy etc.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. its a thoroughly sorted design, there is little to dislike about it, and its unbeatable for the price. Its a cheap car that actually happens to be very very good- I'll be surprised if Dacia doesn't clean up with these.

Too early to say, we are planning to keep this one until end of its life.

What's it like to drive?

Handling not exactly pin sharp but perfectly adequate. the engine however is a gem, plenty of power and very economical. There is wind noise at higher speeds.

What's it like to park?

I find it tricky to judge where the back end is due to the shape but my wife who drives it the most does not have a problem. I'm not used to it yet.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

For a supermini there is masses of room inside. seats 2 adults and 3 kids plus luggage perfectly. It is excellent on fuel.
