Customer reviews for Dacia Spring

I love that it's automatic but the seats are too hard

Smooth easy drive, meets all my needs.

Good price, faster than you'd expect!

Love it but can be a bit tinney

For a small little town runner it does perfectly for me. The regenerative break-in feature is brilliant for local and the standard drive feature is brilliant for motorways. At 70 mph on the motorway you can expect your range to be no more than 70 to 80 mi. But at 56 mph you can expect about $120. If you do what I do, I'll lower it down to 45 or 50 when there's no traffic you can honestly expect To reach the advertise range (if not, running accessories). My honest guess is that the air conditioning or heating will affect the range by about 10 mi, I'm just travelling at night icing. The headlights take off are possible 5 mi (accessory use figures are just my own opinion).

I am 6'1 tall and I do struggle with the low roof for my size. When stopped right at the stop line for traffic lights, I have to crane quite a lot forward until my head sideways to be able to look up at the traffic lights. The sun visor is of zero used to me unless I wish to drive like Stevie Wonder.

I find the driving position very close to the driver's door, so much so that it's hard to relax, but I figured this before I bought it being as it is only a small car.

It is feature rich and all controls are very easily accessible. You can fully control this car without having to touch the screen at all, although the screen does have a lot of useful functions, it's main purpose is entertainment. Android auto compliant and works very well. The dachsha app works very well for monitoring, charging and battery state and also to activate air conditioning or to flash the lights and beep the horn three times when necessary.

All in all this is a wonderful little car but is not going to be useful. If you are a giant who wants to do many, many miles. I will finish on the most important part which is charging. From 10% to 100% on a fast charger will take around 60 mins. 20% to 80% takes around 22 minutes.

My Spring has most of the extras and I find it fun to drive. It has all the tech I could possibly need, including an APP. A 100% battery charge gives an indicated 131 miles range, which would probably stretch to over 140 with regenerative braking. I rarely drive in ECO mode. I would like the gear lever/switch to work in the opposite direction, push forward to go forward. Having a proper handbrake is a bonus but using an ignition key to start 'the motor' feels a bit weird, but I easily got used to it.

I had a problem with my radio in the Dacia Spring which had stopped playing. Booked in for a service to sort out the problem. Just before the car was to go in, the radio resumed playing. I spoke to Vicky Oakes in the service department to say should I cancel but she said there must be an underlying problem and to bring the car in. The radio required an soft wear update and has been playing ever since. Thanks Vicky.

Great little car. Too small maybe for some but perfect for a family of two plus dog. Very maneuverable and surprisingly quick of the mark. Fantastic car for town and city. Needs a recharge in tje middle of a long journey but for those who dom't often go far its perfect. Very economical to run and quiye comfortable to drive.

No problems with my Spring at the moment. Great car.

All my driving is local so the range when fully charged can be as low as 110 miles. I would have liked this explained to me when I bought the car as I expected 140 miles range

Dacia spring offers good value for money. We enjoy driving it. It is small and a bit tinny. Minor problems with the audio system needing regular resetting. And occasionally the B drive setting doesn’t engage.
