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

I love the car but a couple of minor niggles and a huge major one.

Even though I have smallish hands for a bloke the seat belt stalk is too short and wedged between the seat and console , I've had to fit extenders, the fabric/material under the foot pedals and in the boot needs to be easier to clean for mud and dog hair. And now the major gripe:- my fuel consumption is around 27-32 mpg, equivalent to my old Nissan Navara, this Duster NEEDS A DIESEL ENGINE! You make one-PLEASE sell it in the UK!!!!!!!!

I like the high driving position and good solid feel of the vehicle, which I think is great value for money. It is very enjoyable to drive and the controls are all easily at hand. I am not quite so keen on the electronic hand brake, but I expect I will get used to it. I do find the armrest on the centre console does get in the way somewhat when you are putting on your seatbelt. What would be really useful is a USB socket above the rear view mirror to make fitting a dash cam easier.

Much better performance than my previous car. I like the heated steering wheel as I suffer Reynauds syndrome.

Dislike intensely the speed limit recognition system as it is often wildly incorrect, particularly on the M4 and some other roads. I have managed without such a system for more than 60yrs and wish I could turn it off completely. The gear shift operation is illogical as I have to push forward instead of pull back to reverse.

I really like driving the car it,s ,comfortable and economical and powerful a couple of niggle,s as follows.

Wing mirror cameras could be adjustable to increase side views.

Boot floor is high, could spare wheel go underneath as mk11.

Rear door handles colour coded as per bodywork.

Automatic tailgate would be useful.

Twin, brighter reversing lights.

Reversing beeper.

These are small points as we would purchase another Dacia.

Really enjoying the car since collecting in October. First time Dacia owner and overall has proven to be a good purchase for my family.

In terms of improvements; the parcel shelf regularly comes out of the clips and causes rattle when driving.

Rear camera is quite poor quality resolution.

Shocking at steaming up during the cold weather, worst car I've had for this.

The sales experience was excellent - attentive and efficient.

On the down side I would have preferred a proper hand book and manual for the infotainment system - which by the way falls down on the bluetooth system repeatedly losing connectivity to my phone.

Overall I can whole heartedly recommend the car.

A good car but the new dashboard and controls are complex.( Manual over 400 pages!) It would be helpful if new owners, especially of the older generation were given some basic instructions ( ie;- an hours drive ) by salesmen.

Many people have a collection of CDs and there should be CD players in new cars

Heating system could be made to get warmer quicker. You have to drive a few miles before gauge is showing full heat.

The hazard lights switch is to easily put on accidentally when moving the fan switch, possibly move it to a separate area of dashboard?

Trim foot step not fit for purpose. Sat nav unreliable, road speed indicator not reliable, auto door mirror ok when not frosty, and when frosty does not work. Seat belt anchor fir front driver and passenger difficult to locate, needs better access.

I recently bought a new 4x4 Duster replacing my previous one.

My new car is lovely but I miss the punch of the diesel engine. And there's too many gizmos, i don't need Lane assist and a driving score.

Aside from that I love the brand 😊
