Customer reviews for Dacia SpringDacia Spring according to those who use it on a daily basis

brilliant car was sceptical at first with small battery range but it works for us with 30mile daily round trip and being a lightweight car it really is efficient. instead of £80 diesel a month in our old car it cost under £30 per month electric on overnight rate with utility warehouse . the reviewers said the car is slow yes to 60 or 70 it may be but anything up to 50mph not many engined cars can keep to the pace of this little superb amazing car. and we are not towing a massive battery around with us ******

The car tackles my daily mountain drive with ease and charging is cheap and easy either from my home or using the numerous local charging stations. With the back seats down there is plenty of room for luggage or golf clubs. The one down side is that I can’t open the boot without a gadget. My nails aren’t long but they get in the way of pushing the button in.

I like the good service when looking for a new car dealership was absolutely outstanding in help. The only thing I think that could of been done better is the fact once you ordered the car you could let the customer now more on progress.

I've had my new 2025 Spring since March and I find it really suits my needs being on the Isle Of Man, it easily keeps up with everyday traffic and its quite satisfying beating tail gaters off at the traffic lights with the torquey motor. The battery range isn't an issue for me, In the winter I was charging the car once a week and now in the summer I'm getting two weeks between charges.

Bad points are: the infotainment system sometimes doesn't start up when getting into the car, I have to reset it at least once a week, quite annoying.

The fact you can put it in neutral whilst moving is not right either, I did this by accident when I first got the car and because the brake needs to be pressed to select drive you have to pull over to re-select drive.

Headlights could be much better but I'm rarely out after dark tbh.

Bit more adjustability on the drivers seat would be better.

All in all its a smart and nippy little car that is surprisingly good fun to drive given its price.

The cars itself is great. Relatively quiet, nippy upto 40mph and I'm averaging 6.8mpkw far above what anyone else I know with an EV does.

But I have encountered several quality control issues. The cabin's narrow design results in my shoulder being in contact with the door, and the vehicle frequently displays a "driver fatigue system error."

A significant safety concern arose when the rear bench seat would not latch back into its upright position. To fix this, I had a mechanic adjust the mounting brackets. The logistics of a dealership visit were difficult; finding a day off work to accommodate the 60-mile round trip and the full-day commitment meant I would have needed to schedule an appointment three weeks out, which wasn't feasible.

My wife is looking to trade her Duster in for a Bigster in the next few months and I am hoping none of these issues will be present in the more expensive Bigster.

For a small cheap car, overall it's excellent. I purchased the Extreme spec which has almost all features you'd find on more expensive vehicles.

Between the fantastic price, it's incredible economy, the brilliant regenerative braking it suits my daily needs, reducing the mileage and wear and tear on my van. It also doesn't

feel like a small car inside.

The only flaws I can find to date, the narrow wheelbase rolls on truck ruts on carriageways and motorways, the torque from the motors when turning and accelerating can almost lock the steering wheel having to use force to straighted the wheels when the steering is otherwise light, the cruise control is very harsh and doesn't replicate the eco mode and has a harsh on/off acceleration approach making the car jolt.

In summary, ideal, cheap, economical run around

To be honest I changed jobs and needed a car and was a little sceptical if it would work for me but as I don’t do more than about 100 miles a day if that at times seem a good move , could not be happier with the car ,love the drive and does all I ask of it , its not slow and you can get a fair amount of shopping in the boot ,have not got the ev charger installed yet as was waiting to see how it was ,so purchased a granny lead and plugged in to 3 pin in the garage,

I would like some where to put my phone and cup holder but will purchase those , its not a luxury car and I knew that when I bought it , but its fun and I love my little car and is a good entry level ev vehicle would recommend this to anyone, its fun .

Charging is main issue, the scheduled charging doesnt work, you can't rely on 80% charging limitation, it randomly charges to 100%.

The multimedia display often doesn't turn on. Pain if reversing and downright dangerous!

The speed limit camera often mis reads signs and includes ones from vans etc that state limit is 80kmh but car thinks it 80 mph!

The cruise control often bombs out totally when you want to reduce speed.

Build quality leaves a lot to be desired, eg boot doesn't close properly so plus other things.

Apart from these, it is a pleasure to drive and if charged at home on EV cheap rate is cheap to run.

There are still not enough commercial chargers to make it viable to use on long distance.

Best car since my 1972 MGB Roadster! As a disabled and elderly person, I find this car absolutely ideal. The “tech” took a little getting used to, but is most welcome. I feel very safe in my Spring. As the title suggests, I was once a sports car driver, and the Spring is by far the nicest car to drive since my MGB days - with the added advantage that, unlike the MG, this car STARTS EVERY TIME! It’s easy to drive, easy to park and extremely economical. I think this car would suit any driver from 17 to 87. What could you do better? I would like to be able to move the driver’s seat back another couple of inches for ease of access.

This is my first EV car, I have never even driven an automatic vehicle! I was so nervous to drive it BUT it’s fantastic! I love how easy it is to drive, really light steering, great design. I chose khaki green and absolutely love how the interior is perfectly matched. I get so many compliments on the colour too from friends and family. It’s really easy to charge and pretty quick too. My only negative comment I have is that the Siri call assist doesn’t always work, I may have to call into Dacia Oldham just to see if there’s a fix for it. Other than that I am super happy with my Dacia spring.
