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

I met David Reed aka Dacia Dave through my husband who purchased 2 joggers with him. Coming from a negative previous experience at another car dealership, Dave was a refreshing pleasure to deal with, funny, friendly but professional courteous and knowledgeable speaking to me directly not through my husband or assuming I know nothing about cars like many sales people do. He advised and guided without pushing or influencing me through the whole process buying a new duster in December 2024. I was expecting to order one for March delivery but was thrilled when he showed me my perfect car already available in the dealership. A week later I drove out in my new wheels after he did everything to get the car prepared and ready for me in a short space of time and before Christmas.

Sadly it came to light pretty quickly that the vehicle had a few ‘issues’ but nothing was too much trouble for Dave, Wes the Sales Manager and the Service Team, Hannah and Caitlin. Always polite, cheerful and reassuring they got me through an upsetting time with my new car getting it sorted as quickly as possible, giving it another valet and a fuel up too so it came back to me looking good as new only this time it worked properly too.

Dave stands out over other dealers (and I’ve met quite a few over the years) as he is genuine, can’t do enough to help, maintains contact even when things get difficult and treats us like old friends every time we walk in the building.

I am very much a Dacia convert and we are a two Dacia household now thanks to Dave and the Dacia Team.

The engine randomly screams instead of changing gear from time to time. On poor road surfaces, it beeps and says keep control in spite of both hands bei g on the steering wheel. This happens regularly.

Occasionally it will unpair Bluetooth devices for no apparent reason.

Noisy in the cabin on motorways.

Not the best sound system. It's a shame as otherwise it's a great car.

Love the styling and the green colour, the hybrid is great, very responsive, lovely soft drive, 100% better than the old Duster I had 8 years ago, great safety features, the only downside is the lack of a Handbook so we are driving 'blind', I know the Handbook is online but I don't carry the computer in the car!!

Great value for the money.

Good to drive. Hybrid is economical. Plenty of boot room with back seats down, but would be better if they went flat "flush"" to boot floor.

Nice styling external and internal.

Can need a bit noisy from wind when on motorway due to "body" shape.

Overall, I would have rated at 5 stars.

The only real letdown is the engines excessive (on occasion) overrevving on uphill gradients which requires a slight lift of the throttle in an attempt to make it change up a gear which is not a normal action for an automatic car.

Brilliant value and does exactly what i want,fit and finish well above earlier models and the driving experience is great, should come with a full instruction manual that i can refer to when needed and not just online..

Absolute dream to drive. Easy to get in and out off. Massive boot. Looks great externally and internally. Great satnav. Roomy for front and back passengers. Great integrated Bluetooth system.

Its a great motor, excellent value for money. Feels like a much more expensive vehicle. It tows my small caravan beautifully with impressive fuel consumption. We love it.

The technology is making me a more efficient driver.

The audio system doesn't seem to have anyway to allow it to play all the folders in the flash drive.

Love the car. Two downsides: intermittent issue with the speed sensor so does not display the road speed. All dusters should have wireless charging
