Over all fairly happy with the car. However, the operating manual is confusing as it covers all variants of the Duster model without delineating which functions refer to which sub-model. Also the only manual available for the media/nav system is apparently only available on line for the 2024 models.

LOVELY TO DRIVE AND EXCELLENT VISIBILITY. iT SEEMS A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY WOULD LIKE TO DISABLE THE CRAWL MODE WHICH I HAVE ENGAGED A COUPLE OF TIME WITHOUT KNOWING HOW AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF IT OTHER THAN TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTING UP AGAIN. OTHERWISE A FANTASTIC CAR!

No nonsense, does what I need it to do, 4wd small car at a great price. Improvements I would like - I'd like a rotary knob volume control, so much easier than the buttons, same for the temperature control. And don't stop me reversing just because I open the door to see where I'm reversing.

Only purchased in September but very happy with it so far. Only one minor fault, but not a fault as such. Front seat safety belts can be awkward to fit if wearing heavy coat. Maybe a short extension to the fitting adjacent to the armrest/storage compartment would make it easier to access.

Design is great.

Opening doors from inside is an issue in the wind. The handle is to close to the hinges side of the door,the wind catches the door and you are almost pulled out , the fulcrum is wrong so you have to hold the glove compartment to stop the door being ripped of its hinges.

Easy to drive comfortable and smooth

Back seat could do with an arm rest cup holders are in an arkward place and connecting the phone is quite hard also the boot needs a handle on the inside or be motorised and I don't like the back door handles very hard to use and feel a bit cheap

Quiet, responsive, comfortable, just a joy to drive.

It is slightly disappointing that the full details of performance and car location are not available on my android phone.

Overall the car is a big leap ahead from our previous 2017 model which was already an excellent car though.

Love the car, have a duster extreme 1.2 mild hybrid 4x4. Engine is adequate but could do with a few more bhp. Apart from that i have no issues with the car, will probably get another dacia in the future, probably the Bigster 150 4x4 full hybrid which is coming later this year.

Car arrived at dealership with chip on door and door needing realignment.

Water ingress on front passenger side required new door seal.

All the above was rectified.

I love my Dacia Duster despite the above initial issues and has not put me off buying one again in the future.

Make the dash screen more customisable. Its good what it does, but could be better.

Also, when I adjust the volume when the satnav is talking, it then defaults to the satnav volume afterwards when I use the volume controls. So I cant adjust the radio with the controls.
