...lovely car !

good serevice

.

Fantastic vehicle overall, love to just go for a drive.

There are a few things I would look to improve on though. Namely,

- DAB is very limited in the selection of stations available (UK). I've read that an update is available. At a cost which could be considered excessive.

But , haven't heard anything direct from DACIA on this.

- The cameras perform very well, after some adjustment to contrast of the image. However, the reverse lamp is not bright enough. I must stress, the Illumination from the reverse light is extremely poor, to the point of being hazardous.

- The field of view through the windscreen and front side windows is quite limited at times. Blindspots become apparent quickly at just actions.

But overall a really enjoyable drive, and so much in the design to please.

The car is beautifully optimised for road driving, giving both an economy gear and a higher gear for more precise control for all speeds up to and including 50 mph. It is wonderfully narrow, perfect for the mountain roads where we holiday, and great power for getting up the hills. Carrying capacity is also perfect for a dump run and good for longer holidays. I also love the demisters, they are the best on any car I've owned, while automatic wipers and lights plus heated seats are a dream for us older folks after going out for exercise, and I love the way the wing mirrors fold themselves away.

If the passenger seat folded forwards it could be useful for DIY purchases. Also worth reviewing the visibility to the left when approaching a junction at an accute angle.

car is ok, but i worry about the rattly automatic transmission at low speeds and in reverse with 4 people in its very juddery. Another disappointment is the dab radio reception, took it to the dealers after a week, they tested it and found that it had very limited DAB reception. They contacted dacia uk and were informed that it is a known firmware issue and is not scheduled for prioritised rectification. Also Startins, the dealership, said that i had to contact Dacia to find out when the radio firmware upgrade will be available then arrange with them for the radio to be upgraded!!!. Appalling that a new vehicle is sold, with a known radio issue, that the dealership does not inform a potential customer about!!, that could deter a potential sale

This is our forth duster , and have been very happy with it performance and looks , a couple of alterations which would not cost ( by altering the drivers side windows/ mirror buttons so the window button are at the top easier to use and not having to hit your elbow to get to them and with the mirror button now at the bottom which you only use infrequently ) the other which I have had conversations with salesman is why don’t you put a retaining LIP on dash board to stop items sliding off shelf every time you turn or alter. Direction ( easily done at very little effort ( self adhesive strip in same or contrasting colour) and please bring back desert sand !!!
