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

My car arrived and within weeks there was an issue with a leak. Anytime the back windscreen wash was pressed the full compartment of windscreen wash would leak out including into my car

Poor steering is the main problem; it's like driving a Bus. The cat waddles along feel un-real. Lots of sway in the steering wheel. They have ruined a great car. I will get rid asap.

Underpowered, full of difficult technology (media scree etc) which detracts from driving experience. Previous models infintely better value.

Can’t fault the value for money with these cars. We wanted something that had a few extras but at the same time was robust and practical for where we live and carrying the dogs. Yes the interior is hard plastic but for us that works as we didn’t want to worry about all the dirt that the dogs bring with them. We can easily wipe everything down.

So far it drives well and is comfortable. It’s a bit noisy when on the faster roads with the wind noise. But we had read that was the case. Main niggle is that the break peddle on the automatic sits at a very high angle which is a bit weird at first. Just adjusted the steering wheel and seat to compensate so it’s a more comfortable driving position for round the lanes/town. But I’d suggest this is something Dacia might want to think about !.

Purchased a new Dacia Duster 155 hybrid on 24/1/26 got ten miles from dealership and it developed a gearbox fault returned to dealership for repair ! after a week vehicle was repaired and returned! Not a great start to the ownership ! March of the same year wife got a puncture phones Dacia Assist who would not turn out for a puncture ! Local garage out of hours call out to fit space saver wheel at a cost of £60 !

Attended KwikFit the next day for a replacement tyre under the GardX insurance scheme only to find that KwikFit had frozen the GardX account so we had to pay for the new tyre ! Has taken nearly three weeks to get reimbursed for the cost of the tyre ! Not impressed!!

Four months old and have only put just over a thousand miles on the clock, so just run in , but up to now very pleased, its value for money , and economical , quiet and comfortable . I would of liked the option of leather upholstery and not the faux leather available , otherwise plenty of room / leg space , I would also suggest a handbook supplied with the car for people like myself who do not rely on mobile phones or apps ! a little less tricky tronics in the car that's not really needed ie if you are going to crash into something and all the other bits and bobs supposedly to make driving easier. But all in all very pleased .

The car itself is fine but the trouble with all modern cars is the ridiculous technology trying to make driving safe when it doesn’t! Take a coffee break warning (stupid!) Lane Assist (absolutely dangerous) - Obstacle Alert and Action Taken (absolutely dangerous.) Drivers now have to worry more about the technology going around more than the engine, brakes and tyres. Leave driving to the human .

Why put the hand brake switch low on the right hand .Its only a switch put it where the hand brake should be buy the gear stick . Somewhere for a pair of sunglasses . Apart from that I really like the car .Great engine and easy menus for the electronic stuff . I gave it 4 stars because I have had a rattle that has taken the dealer two attempts to finally fix

Very stylish looking

Plenty of room for carrying camping equipment

Excellent miles per gallon

Powerful turbo petrol engine when needed

Good level of safety equipment fitted

Excellent infotainment and sat nav.

Fitted roof rails, roof box and side steps and still looks great

Above all great pricing

Can’t think of anything else to improve on as yet

Pretty good so far. Engine seems to fire up quite loudly and expectedly. Rev counter would be useful. MPG is good (not as advertised though)

I Use on 90 minute journeys, quite comfortable.

Getting used to the high level front, but sensors help. Wireless charging gets quite hot, can affect operation of Phone!. Only had 3/4 months so a way to go.
