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

Can’t fault the value for money with these cars. We wanted something that had a few extras but at the same time was robust and practical for where we live and carrying the dogs. Yes the interior is hard plastic but for us that works as we didn’t want to worry about all the dirt that the dogs bring with them. We can easily wipe everything down.

So far it drives well and is comfortable. It’s a bit noisy when on the faster roads with the wind noise. But we had read that was the case. Main niggle is that the break peddle on the automatic sits at a very high angle which is a bit weird at first. Just adjusted the steering wheel and seat to compensate so it’s a more comfortable driving position for round the lanes/town. But I’d suggest this is something Dacia might want to think about !.

My previous duster 4x4 was great but i am not too sure about this new one. Far too much tech and i had too call on Dacia Assist to get me to a garage as dashboard info was going haywire. Started off with check injectors, then it said driver assist was not working followed by a host of other messages which i don't remember then a short while later temperature gauge went through the roof.

Turns out it was the electronic water pump which had packed in and was causing all this other info to appear. Have not got the full story but injectors had to be re-programmed too.

I am now a little nervous about driving this car. Maybe it will pass though.

Four months old and have only put just over a thousand miles on the clock, so just run in , but up to now very pleased, its value for money , and economical , quiet and comfortable . I would of liked the option of leather upholstery and not the faux leather available , otherwise plenty of room / leg space , I would also suggest a handbook supplied with the car for people like myself who do not rely on mobile phones or apps ! a little less tricky tronics in the car that's not really needed ie if you are going to crash into something and all the other bits and bobs supposedly to make driving easier. But all in all very pleased .

Engine is very noisy at times particularly on hills, revs high sometimes when stationary.

I don't like the key - it doesn't fit anywhere snug in the car and you can't put it on a keyring.

Way too many warning beeps and lights, often when there is no reason. If you're going to have all this tech, it needs to work properly, not intermittently or randomly. It suggested I take a break from driving when I'd only been driving for 20 mins. I had high hopes for this car but not really impressed so far.

I changed my car recently from a Jogger 1.6 hybrid extreme which I enjoyed very much but didn’t need a 3rd row of seats so I got a.Duster 1.6 hybrid extreme because although the new 1.8 hybrid engine was succeeding it there were still quite a few of the outgoing 1.6 hybrids avaliable. Very well equipped - heated steering wheel comfortable seats and excellent hybrid system. I regularly get high 60,s / 70’s mpg in ‘B’ mode as the hybrid system gives up to 80% in electric mode.

Highly recommended!

So far exceeding our expectations. Replaced a 2 year old Discovery Sport. The 4x4 version so far does everything excellently that we need from an off road vehicle (mud ruts, wading, and hill descent). Not yet tried snow. The off road controls being a manual dial are so much easier to operate than on screen. Only issue, and this is very minor, is there is only room for one cup holder for rear seat passengers. Mind you if that's the only issue it has to be a pretty good car!

The car itself is fine but the trouble with all modern cars is the ridiculous technology trying to make driving safe when it doesn’t! Take a coffee break warning (stupid!) Lane Assist (absolutely dangerous) - Obstacle Alert and Action Taken (absolutely dangerous.) Drivers now have to worry more about the technology going around more than the engine, brakes and tyres. Leave driving to the human .

Why put the hand brake switch low on the right hand .Its only a switch put it where the hand brake should be buy the gear stick . Somewhere for a pair of sunglasses . Apart from that I really like the car .Great engine and easy menus for the electronic stuff . I gave it 4 stars because I have had a rattle that has taken the dealer two attempts to finally fix

Very stylish looking

Plenty of room for carrying camping equipment

Excellent miles per gallon

Powerful turbo petrol engine when needed

Good level of safety equipment fitted

Excellent infotainment and sat nav.

Fitted roof rails, roof box and side steps and still looks great

Above all great pricing

Can’t think of anything else to improve on as yet

Pretty good so far. Engine seems to fire up quite loudly and expectedly. Rev counter would be useful. MPG is good (not as advertised though)

I Use on 90 minute journeys, quite comfortable.

Getting used to the high level front, but sensors help. Wireless charging gets quite hot, can affect operation of Phone!. Only had 3/4 months so a way to go.
