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.

I like the fantastic shape, the overall look and appearance. It drives beautifully and smooth and is quite economical. The entertainment function is quite odd as it randomly plays the radio automatically when starting the engine or it doesn’t, and then it’s really difficult to work it. Plus, it doesn’t stay on the chosen channel. I am also surprised this day and age that it doesn’t have a windscreen heater for those frosty mornings. I also find navigating through the functions quite complicated.

I have the D3 extreme full hybrid. It would be a great car if not for the dreadful automatic gearbox. I have no control over when the gears change and there has been many times, especially when overtaking or gaining speed up hill, that the gears just don’t change up and instead make an awful over revving sound. It’s embarrassing and frustrating. It’s been back to the dealer and I was told it’s a known issue with the Renault gearbox that is used in this model. I’d not get another one after this!

Brilliant experience from showroom to delivery
Had a Sandero for 8 years and decided I wanted to treat myself and get an upgrade.
Had noticed that there was a new Duster on the market so went dealership to view one after some internet reviews.
Settled on on the Extreme automatic Hybrid and couldn’t be happier.
Looks awesome. So many toys and gadgets. Had so many positive comments off friends etc.
The price is excellent
The fuel economy is superb
Would honestly recommend one to anybody

traded my mk2 duster comfort for the mk3 expression 2wd, you wouldnt think they are the same make. The expression is excellent, much better than i expected. Great to drive, comfortable, everything that i wanted and more, very happy duster driver.
I am not very tech savvy, media system took me a bit of time to sort, but i think most will find it easy.
Downside for me is the owners hand book is now digital, being old school i would still prefer a book, but we do need to save the trees

I could not be more pleased with my new Duster hybrid 140 like the way everything is easy to use and understand no searching through touch screens to use the everyday thing's I particularly like the shape it has a robust presence on the road, my perso button is a really nice touch I can't fault the vehicle, the only thing I will change after I get some advice would be the antenna from a bee sting type to a shark finn type as it does catch on some car park entry here in the UK

Salesman at dealership , excellent, could not fault him . I purchased side steps with car , told before collecting car that couldn’t fit them as some bracket was wrong, picked car up and arranged a date so they could be installed, took car back on arranged date , on returning to collect car , side steps still not fitted as brackets wrong again, so another date was made after a lengthy wait , this it was successful. Would not purchase a car through that dealer again;( Hendy )

This is my 4th Duster. Over the years the design has improved and quality of the interior/exterior too. Drives well, handles nicely. The small engine has enough power for the size of vehicle. The only downside I have found so far with the new model is the quality of the speakers for hands free calls - apparently sounds like I am under water to the person I am calling. Recently experienced for myself when taking a call from someone else in a slightly older Duster.

Love the car 99% - Huge upgrade on the previous and love the hybrid but - don't like the revving engine. which cuts in occasionally at low speeds and vibrates through the steering wheel which is very frustrating but doesn't last long. People love it and say it looks like a small hummer. I would still highly recommend it and I'm getting 55 mpg - Centre display is a bit clunky and needs a re-set now and then but brilliant car with a couple of small issues.

The change of engine from the classic 1.6 Renault diesel was a disappointment and the nonsensical Ad Blue a real hassle as is the massive electronic 'key' too big (& unhealthy) to put in a pocket and the electronics have a mind of their own - I disable the remote locking and it decides to change back at random sounding the horn when unlocked making me very unpopular with my neighbours. The last version was not 'broke' so why has it been 'fixed'?!
