Customer reviews for Dacia BigsterDacia Bigster seen by those who use it on a daily basis

I like the car, it gives a smooth comfortable ride. It has a lot of tech that is great to assist the driver. Very economical.

What I have found is that in a sunny day the front camera does not work. Which is ok as should not re!y on technology. Electric driver seat would be a bonus as when you get in 9 times out of the you have to readjust the seat as you catch the seat lever when you get in and out. I had the side steps fitted as it is rather high but the step needs to be wider as your foot does not fit on.

2,000 miles in and so far, very pleased with my Dacia Bigster 155 Hybrid Extreme. I love the commanding elevated drive position, intelligent hybrid drive and head-turning looks. The economy is excellent and interior very practical and well designed. What could be better - the 4 auto gears appear to struggle with appropriate changes up, and the volume/mode stalk on the steering wheel is completely hidden from driver view - irritating but bearable once to learn to 'feel' the position to change anything.

The bigster feels comfortable inside, we love the heated seats and steering wheel. Room for two child seats and an adult in the back. The high clearance has been great in the recent floods. The screen is a bit complicated for a non techie!

The screens giving all round views are great but the alarms when you get close to something are so overwhelming that when we actually reversed into our daughter’s car we don’t know if they sounded and we just ignored them like usual when there’s only a hedge there!

Touch screen buttons not good and takes many presses to turn certain things on.

DAB RADIO - awful

Rear seatbelts disappear down the gap when anyone tries to clip in.

The sensors are absolutely awful(non existent) in wet/cold weather

Adaptive cruise control randomly disconnects because of the rain - not very safe on the motorway!

Occasional horrible smell (like perm lotion) coupled with juddery drive (happened 3 times so far)

Door lock issue - sometimes open, sometimes don’t.

4x4, decent size, good fuel economy, rolls ahead easily on mild hybrid motor/engine combination, soft bouncy ride (good for offroading and over potholes), sunroof lets in more cabin light.

Stop Start has only worked three times since I've had the car last October, not sure it's worth having.

Lack of a valet button for when you don't want the vehicle electrical systems to switch on when parked up and opening/closing car doors during valeting or loading/unloading with engine off.

Love the drive..love the car to a point..just small things..camera issues. Speed camera issues..lane departure..totally pain on country roads..rear door handles to flimsy for me..gear box..1st to 2nd..to short..5th to 6th..gear to tall..revs to low at 60mph ..so car engine struggles..headlights on low beam brilliant..but unfortunately not great on high beam..should all be Led..other than that well happy with car..would purchase another in the future..

The first time I saw the Daccia bigster in the showroom my wife knew it was the car for us the size the colour the comfort it was perfect Angel Webb came over to talk to us she answered all our questions my husband had a. test drive and we was able to add some extras it didn’t take long to seal the deal Angel was amazing (many thanks )

I bought the Dacia bigster 4x4. Firstly for a 4x4 and size of the car it laks power. I wish the 4x4 version came with the 1800 hybrid engine. The gear ratio is short, I presume it is due to being 4x4 which means you actually spend more funds on Fuel trying to get the car up to speed. Apart from the above I have no concern with the car.

I am a big fan of Dacia and getting the Bigster was definitely a great choice. I am particularly impressed with the hybrid as it significantly reduces need it refuel.

The only thing I would change is more information about the controls and I am definitely missing a user handbook in order to fully understand the vehicles capabilities.

We spent quite some time looking for a new car that met our needs and was affordable. Having done research and then test driving the Bigster it was clear it was the car for us. It is very roomy, economical, comfortable and a great drive with lots of safety features as standard. It also gets great write up in independent reviews.
