Customer reviews for Dacia DusterDacia Duster according to those who use it on a daily basis

This is our third Duster, all bought from new from Lookers Stockport, all three cars have been very reliable with good standards of comfort and reliability.

The above says it all, however the radio on our current model, which is the Extreme lacks the ability to manually tune into different FM and DAB frequencies and relies on auto scanning, this fails to pick up news programmes like GB News or music programmes of our choice, which our previous 2019 Comfort did without any problems, perhaps I am missing a trick here, if I am, it is not obvious, this in my opinion lets the car down. I would appreciate a response from yourselves on this issue.

Was a bit unsure at first after 3x stepways. But the upgrade to duster is amazing. Took a while to get used to 6 gears, but now after 1500 miles getting used to it.

Still some sort of issue with the dab radio, so just use FM. This needs sorting.

Loads of room and mahoosive boot 😁

Same size engine as the old stepways but no noticeable difference, in fact the duster appears to have more grunt. Technical Dacia wizardry.

Oh and the heated seats mmmmmmm

Lots of usb sockets front n rear keep everyone charged.

Long journeys easy with the sat nav cruise control and comfy seats.

Nice car quieter than my previous Dacia

Disappointed no spare tyre or stowage rack.

Noted that the parking break does not stop shut off engine eco mode

Ignition key slot not as intuitive as previous model, have to get key perfectly square on, could be dished in so key does not slide all over the flat surface

Petrol engine stalls often

Clutch catches fitted carpet on release

Otherwise a nice ride, comfortable for town and long distance. Easy to drive and steering wheel is very comfortable.

Very happy except for niggles. Hence 4 stars

Comfortable, spacious, and great value for money, I have been impressed by the overall performance and appearance. If it has a down side, Economy mode is almost too slow it borders on being dangerous, cannot and should not be used on A-Roads so in standard mode to date we have not got more than 42mpg, despite having driven more than 4K miles. Minor niggles, Petrol cap release lid got jammed closed, and it took me 3 visits to dealership to get "pulling" Steering wheel off set issue, finally fixed....it was bad tracking.

The vehicle is great. It’s a Dacia; you get what you pay for except in this instance. I drove out of the showroom listening to my favourite DAB station. A couple of months later or less, I can’t! Alas, most of the digital stations have disappeared leaving a handful of poor choices to listen to. The dealership tells me there is a software issue that’s being worked on but that was two months ago. A minor issue I know but come up on Dacia, at least give me a media player that works!?! Is the sharks fin aerial just for show?

Car good, but wish I had waited for an automatic.

Had to take out separate breakdown cover as yours did not cover blown tyres.

DAB radio is as useful as a chocolate teapot. No BBC channels for sport.

I have not got a degree in computing so to upgrade the sat nav is never going to happen.

Company / Staff to be more receptive to cash buyers. If my wife hadn't liked the car so much, I would have walked away. Absolute zero / 10 for that.

Fantastic car especially the extreme

model, the car drives excellently with enough power to transport you quickly and efficiently. Only issue with the model I have is the upholstery on the seats, I'm not a big fan, the seats Mark easily. Maybe the new model will have better seat covers. This Duster will Definitely not be my last dacia. I might even push the boat out and go for the bigster next as long as the cost was reasonable!

We originally bought the car with a view to getting the new hybrid but we are extremely happy with our current 24 extreme.

I didn’t get the exact colour I asked for and understood I was getting. I would suggest there is better explanation of colours online and clearer communication. Have recently taken it on a long trip to wales with three kids and a dog and it was great. Top box helped. Dacia one fitted by Renault.

Generally speaking I am well pleased with the car. However there are some irritating faults that need to be remedied. One of the door locks is faulty, the radio is faulty and often does not work at all, the sat nav is out of date and difficult to use. I have been away a great deal since buying the car but return to UK on March 12th and will arrange for the car to be fixed then.

The salesman was crap. Once we'd handed over our details he couldnt get rid of us fast enough. We still dont know how to work the sat nav or anything really but we have started a service plan with Gravells who can teach your salesman a thing or two. We love the car though. And the colour. We had a job getting the salesman to give us this particular colour but we managed.
