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.

The car its self can’t fault it great to drive good fuel economy and wee burst of pace when needed . The Apple car play however proper garbage says its wireless connect but it doesn’t so use my cable for about a week connected randomly to that so I’ve had to shell out £40 quid for a dongle to make it work so mega disappointed and that will take it up with dealer when it goes for first service

Like the overall look and driving experience. Would be better if the seatbelt hieght was adjustable as it is uncomfortable if not wearing a collared shirt. It is really annoying that the radio shuts down so quickly after switching the engine off. We often travel on ferries sitting in the car for around 1/2 an hour. The battery will not run down if the radio is in use for this length of time.

Good over all and value for money

Electronics on Journey overly complicated and can be flakey.

Some strange restrictions such as limited route setting options on sat nav make it really only useful for last few miles of a journey.

Some obvious cost savings seem strange choice. No heated seats although wiring loom is there yet heated seats on my wife’s Stepway!

Spoils a good product.

Can't find anything to complain about. My issue was dealt with quickly and I felt that I wasn't just being treated like a number, but a valued customer. I hope this continues moving forward. I can't remember the name of the lady who assisted me unfortunately but I will say l, she was brilliant. Really helpful. I could tell she was all about customer service. Thank you for your help
