The no nonsence fun driving experience. The retro feel. Five stars for actual vehicle, In person technical support four stars (see below)
The speed warning is stuck on KM (with MPH underneath) so it bleeps at 30 kph in a 30 mph zone. I have muted the sound in the profile settings and I am hoping it will be sorted on the first service.
Had to go back to the dealership to get sat nav initiated I think the above is connected, it took an overnight download to cure, better dealership EV knowledge would provide a better experience.

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 ******

Great little car but the connection to my I phone is crap. It works fine then it doesn’t work at all then it works. So you can see it’s very frustrating very inconsistent. Second the speed sounder, I live in wales and the road can go from 20 to 30 to 40 in a small distance I press the pesto twice to limit the sound but wish it wasn’t so loud. I need to find it and put some tape over it to quieten it down very annoying. The cruise control is great but bumpy on a down hill we’re it checks the speed it feels jerky.

Various bugs in the software are annoyances in daily use and should have been ironed out earlier. The suspension suffers badly over speed humps and appears to be short of travel. The tyre and wind noise is excessive and I am sure that just a few pounds more spent in sound proofing would be well worth it.
The rear seat lifting out of its socket when folding does not appear to be mentioned in the manual and often reported as a fault but it appears to be deliberate to allow the seat to be removed all together.

Over all, a very nice town car - easy to drive. Very good acceleration from 0 - 30, which is just what is needed for a town car. It would be nice to be able to completely turn off lane-assist, but not a huge problem, although can be startling at times.
Very disappointed that charging cannot be scheduled, nor can pre-cooling or -heating, unless my Dealer has failed to show me how that can be done.
My wife and I, pensioners, find the Dacia Spring ideal for our lifestyle at a very affordable price.

As a city car it is pretty good. It would be silly to compare this car with a much more expensive long-distance tourer such as a Tesla or a Hyundai Ionic 5. I am able to easily achieve 5.8 miles per kW/hour except when on rare occasions I drive on a motorway.
If there is one thing that could be improved I would suggest the ability to take a DC charge at 100kW rather than 30kW.
The only thing I find frustrating is the My Dacia app on my phone does not seem to integrate well with the car.

Our new Spring is a joy. Charging couldn't be easier. I charge using a cheap overnight tariff from my garage. The majority of our driving these days is local. My wife and I feel comfortable in the front and while there is not a lot of room in the back my two grandchildren are very comfortable. The boot is surprisingly big for a city car. Because we are both getting on in years the automatic, electric vehicle is ideal. Finally the price point is the deal maker. Brings the fun back to driving.

The car is largely perfect for me even my family say so, it even has personality and qwerks something I thought I would miss from my petrol vehicles with its funny located front window buttons and creak in the break when you set off I like these things it makes it feel alive.
A negative is that on certain bumps such as bumps on an uphill the rear suspention feels as though it falls off a cliff.
This is not to take away from its surprising comfort over pot holes and even regular speed humps

I love this car and I love driving it: I like the trim, it looks nice, it’s nippy. It’s cheap to run on a home charger.
The negatives are:
The boot can be difficult to open;
The back windows should open and close from the front AND the back
Mileage is misrepresented - never achieved 140 on a full charge - usually 131/2
Needs better tyres - feel EVERY bump on the road
Connecting to Apple Car play is never guaranteed!
Longer mileage would be great, but for the price it’s a lovely little car.

Lovely car, great value for money, range is good (easily getting 130m per charge). Husband loves all the tech and I love the ability to pre-heat/cool down via app/pre programme.
Only issue is the boot, it would be great to have a handle or strap to pull it down to shut it. Also opening it is awful until you get the knack!!
Vehicle is a good height and it's width is an added bonus on the country lanes in Lincolnshire. Boot is ample for our weekly shop. Overall extremely happy.
