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.

Very comfortable, good mpg, spacious, practical, good handling for type of car

Downside, for first 500 miles some of the features didn't work e.g Lane assist and blind spot monitoring, then suddenly turned on but haphazard when they work ( not too fussed about lane assist as more annoying than useful). Front camera sometimes doesn't work, radio sometimes doesn't turn on, auto selector sometimes doesn't work ( switching off/on the car seems to sort this for now)

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'?!

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.

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.

I absolutely love the new look. It's stylish but still very functional. This is my first petrol Duster. The rest have all been diesel. I thought I would miss the performance of the diesel engine, but I haven't. The only thing I noticed is that if I move my speed up or down using the +and - when using the cruise control it's not as smooth as my previous Dusters. Apart from that I am delighted with it.
