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

no spare wheel after puncher

Suspension could be better

Good alround vehicle 👌

First class

Traded in a 4yr old Dacia that had a far superior technology than my latest model.Was told that they were similar in specifications by the salesman.Not in a million years.

The car is beautifully optimised for road driving, giving both an economy gear and a higher gear for more precise control for all speeds up to and including 50 mph. It is wonderfully narrow, perfect for the mountain roads where we holiday, and great power for getting up the hills. Carrying capacity is also perfect for a dump run and good for longer holidays. I also love the demisters, they are the best on any car I've owned, while automatic wipers and lights plus heated seats are a dream for us older folks after going out for exercise, and I love the way the wing mirrors fold themselves away.

If the passenger seat folded forwards it could be useful for DIY purchases. Also worth reviewing the visibility to the left when approaching a junction at an accute angle.

car is ok, but i worry about the rattly automatic transmission at low speeds and in reverse with 4 people in its very juddery. Another disappointment is the dab radio reception, took it to the dealers after a week, they tested it and found that it had very limited DAB reception. They contacted dacia uk and were informed that it is a known firmware issue and is not scheduled for prioritised rectification. Also Startins, the dealership, said that i had to contact Dacia to find out when the radio firmware upgrade will be available then arrange with them for the radio to be upgraded!!!. Appalling that a new vehicle is sold, with a known radio issue, that the dealership does not inform a potential customer about!!, that could deter a potential sale

This is our third Duster, all bought from new from Lookers Stockport, all three cars have been very reliable with good standards of comfort and reliability.

The above says it all, however the radio on our current model, which is the Extreme lacks the ability to manually tune into different FM and DAB frequencies and relies on auto scanning, this fails to pick up news programmes like GB News or music programmes of our choice, which our previous 2019 Comfort did without any problems, perhaps I am missing a trick here, if I am, it is not obvious, this in my opinion lets the car down. I would appreciate a response from yourselves on this issue.

Was a bit unsure at first after 3x stepways. But the upgrade to duster is amazing. Took a while to get used to 6 gears, but now after 1500 miles getting used to it.

Still some sort of issue with the dab radio, so just use FM. This needs sorting.

Loads of room and mahoosive boot 😁

Same size engine as the old stepways but no noticeable difference, in fact the duster appears to have more grunt. Technical Dacia wizardry.

Oh and the heated seats mmmmmmm

Lots of usb sockets front n rear keep everyone charged.

Long journeys easy with the sat nav cruise control and comfy seats.

Nice car quieter than my previous Dacia

Disappointed no spare tyre or stowage rack.

Noted that the parking break does not stop shut off engine eco mode

Ignition key slot not as intuitive as previous model, have to get key perfectly square on, could be dished in so key does not slide all over the flat surface

Petrol engine stalls often

Clutch catches fitted carpet on release

Otherwise a nice ride, comfortable for town and long distance. Easy to drive and steering wheel is very comfortable.

Very happy except for niggles. Hence 4 stars
