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

I love the whole car. I bought the Duster 1.2 TCe 130 Extreme 5dr 4X4 Petrol Estate, in Black with a spare wheel. Delivery from ordering took 3 months, but it was the first batch of orders in the UK, and it still came a month early. We have 2 other dusters in the family, 1st and 2nd gen, but this one is leaps and bounds superior to the others. I do disable some of the driving aids, lane assist etc... but all in all I am very pleased with mine.

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.

I have a Duster 4x4 Expression.

surprisingly good performance from a 1.2 L engine, yet very economical,

comfortable driving position,

Cruise control as standard,

bluetooth phone connection,

controls well laid out,

Excellent ground clearance and off-road capability,

excellent value for money.

Could it be improved? - The rear door handles, they're a bit awkward especially in a strong wind, I'd prefer conventional ones.

Good over all and value for money

Electronics on Journey overly complicated and can be flakey.

Some strange restrictions such as limited route setting options on sat nav make it really only useful for last few miles of a journey.

Some obvious cost savings seem strange choice. No heated seats although wiring loom is there yet heated seats on my wife’s Stepway!

Spoils a good product.

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 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.

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.

How about a magazine like "Dacia A'ttitude" which is available in France?

Dacia U.K. keep sending me emails about extras for our Duster like side steps and dash cams etc. Unfortunately, a shortage of parts supply in the U.K. meant that I had to get these ordered and fitted by Highland Motors in Letterkenny, Republic of Ireland! A really helpful dealer by the way!'Attide
