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

Although the car is comfortable and powerful enough, with excellent fuel economy, there is definitely room for improvement. After fitting my own dashcam, I realised that, as it already has cameras on board, these could easily have been connected to a memory card to have an inbuilt dashcam. Also, as I don't want Lane Assistance, nor a Beep every time I exceed the speed limit by 1mph, I have turned them off on my personal settings, but I need to do this every time I start the car. Same with the Eco settings. I cannot understand why Dacia didn't set the Default to my Personal Settings 😒

I also found that the Auto Main Beam on the headlights can be annoying, and should have an easier override, but requires me to turn the auto lights off, rather than just manually dipping them.

Good car but I have issues which can not be sorted. I have been trying since July (which was the month I bought the car ) I have been in contact with customer service a few times and keep getting asked for pictures and videos of the issues and wait 3 days for a reply after sending everything and met with same email. I have issues with multimedia the my Dacia app. Radio keeps losing signal. The unit in the roof with the SOS button was lose upon delivery and still not sorted. Also I was told that the car would be in ev mode 80% of the time but it's not. The car is very quick upto 40 miles per hour but no punch after that.

Particularly like: Value for money; On and off road capabilities; Fuel consumption - I have a Duster mild petrol hybrid and on a trip from Dorset to Nottingham the car averaged 50+ miles to the gallon in Eco mode; the design of the 2025 models is very cool; it is very well put together compared to earlier Duster models.What could you do better: Provide more legroom for the driver - I am 6’ 5” and whilst my car is more comfortable than previous models I detect that slightly less legroom is available; Provide ability to switch off or change the door entry sound on all trim levels.

Nice drive, dashboard layout ok, would be handy to have a clock on the dash rather or as well as on the Multimedia screen.

The electronics are frustrating. It is annoying that you cannot permanently change the base volume on the sound system and that in MyPerso you have to re enter preferences every time you switch on the ignition rather than being able to permanently set them.

Finally, a paper manual would be much more user friendly than the online one, that way you could flip from one page to another and sit in the car whilst trying to learn how the gadgetry works!

Really like the extra space in the new Duster. Still trying to get used to the handbrake, as it's a newer electric type of one. I've only had cars with the good old fashioned lever. The extra room where the lever usually is gives you more storage. Very resourceful.

Only issue I've had, so far, is a bit of the paint flaked off the roof when the wife was washing it. We only do a sponge wash, so it defiinitely wasn't the pressure washer or a brush that did it. Plus - it was in the centre of the roof and the wife can't quite reach there lol.

All round nice car, little touches have improved it with folding wing mirrors and blind spot warning.

Disappointing that the auto hold on the automatic is a trechter to the right atbthenottomnof the dashboard. Should have an auto feature or at least be near the gear selector like most cars.

Biggest disappointment is the lowering of camera quality, it is awful and a huge downgrade. So disappointing if I’d seen it before purchase I wouldn’t have bought it.

Won’t buy another if it’s this bad again.

This is again a great, no frills, reliable, rugged machine. Works great around the farm tracks and everyday driving on roads. This is my fourth Dacia product and I’m really happy with it. Decent MPG on longer runs too; added bonus of lpg gas in my 1 litre offering.

Genuinely impressed with how much grunt there is for such a great-priced vehicle.

From the outside the Duster extreme hybrib looks really nice, it has good view point advantage and handles quite well on the road.

As it is the hybrid 140 at the moment iam getting a good MPG on all journeys.The downside is it has quite a lot of road and engine noise and a lot of rattles this is why I have only given it 4 stars.

Driving is so easy, the ride is smooth (even the way i drive).

I love my car, the best I've bought in a long time.

Would've been helpful to have the option of a printed car manual, especially for the less tech savvy amongst us.
