I absolutely love my Dacia Spring Extreme. It’s smaller than my old car but I was able to test drive a demo car before getting mine and this was great to adjust to it and get to know the car. The demo has added extras like the roof bars and arm rest which helped me decide what I wanted to customise my own with (I went for the arm rest!!). It’s such a great car. Fab storage space, great tech, easy to work, great app and wonderful customer service.

I suffer from lower, back pain due to spondulitis, and do not find the seat in my Dacia as comfortable as in my old car. I use an extra cushion but need a softer support for my back. Sadly all modern cars I have sat in use a hard foam. My old Volvo has sprung seating and its bucket seats were really comfortable for long drives.
I understand the Dacia is advertised as a city car, but even after a few miles my back begins to ache.

I bought the car purely for local trips typically 50 miles round trip. Back seat has never been used. Permanently down to accommodate big dog.
Car is unbelievablely cheap to run. Approx £4 for around 100 miles. Range, in good weather is 140.
On the downside, it's not ever so comfortable and the doors shut like a van with no attempt at refinement.
But it's an inexpensive runabout and imo is brilliant.
Well done Dacia.

A few niggles: the screen doesn’t always pop up when I get in, and the Apple CarPlay regularly refuses to connect to my phone. The key is awful - not only is there no keyless start, the wretched thing doesn’t even fold up: a complete nuisance in my handbag.
The finish is very ‘minimalist’, but I suppose that’s what you get with a low priced car.
On the other hand, it’s very economical and very responsive.

Spring is so nice to drive, but there is a massive problem when using cruse control on a slight down hill. The car brakes and then accelerates, then breaks harder, then accelerates and breaks, this becomes quite violent. A number of people are reporting the same fault on social media, so I assume It is a software issue. If it wasn't for this I would give the car 5 stars as I really love it.

I like it but we cannot understand all of the controls. We still haven't figured how to switch off the radio. . Itsalso cold in the winter. Otherwise very pleased. We haven't noticed any difference in our fuel bill but we do have solar panels. My husband does complain the the back seat comes in one piece. He would like a split seat so that he can carry another passenger and golf clubs

Runs well, used as a second car. Find the feature to stop you drifting in lane irritating as it comes on when there is no problem, for example when joining a motorway from a slip road. Also find the alarm for exceeding the speed limit will beep when driving past the entrance to residential roads with a lower limit than the main road I'm driving on. However, drives well and is good value

More or less an electric 2CV/ Renault 4. Good ground clearance ( clears most pot holes) . Media screen- a little odd- sometimes doesn't work for miles. Very manouvrable. Build a bit flimsy- but it is a budget model. As a family hack does the job. Haven't tried carrying rear seat passengers yet, it's a little cramped. I use the volvo for that. It does what I expected.

Driving 'Spring Extreme' is just a delight. Having driven nearly 1200 miles now, everything is just perfect and exactly what we were looking for.
The only TRUE review we found was on TopGear. Sure, this is not a Super-Car you want to take on a race track, but as a second car to commute to and from work and go shopping, or the gym it's perfect. We both love driving it.

Great car, enjoying our first EV experience. Must say the only thing I would change is that the Cable tidy which can be placed under the bonnet should be a standard fit. The cable in the boot just seems so untidy. The extra cost of the under bonnet cable tidy is eye watering for such an extremely well priced vehicle. Otherwise outstanding value.
