Sandero Stepway according to those who use it on a daily basis

Really good to drive very comfortable. Only fault I find it difficult to get my seatbelt plugged in too near the seat.

The dacia stepway is a good reliable value for money car

We have had a stepway for a number of years and love it

Looks smart and is tough

Everything you need in a small family car. I got the 110bhp version for a bit more ‘oomph’ which works well. You won’t be racing any F1 cars, but there’s enough to get past a slow vehicle when needed.

It’s a comfy enough ride with usually Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Everything you need…except…..

My only gripe is that in order to improve NCAP safety, Dacia have added lots of active safety driver aid, e.g., lane assist, speed awareness, etc. They meant well and on paper it’s great, but the reality is that they really don’t work well in reality.

The lane assist is too aggressive and doesn’t allow for any kind of driver lateral movement before beeping at you. The speed alert beeps with literally 1 mph over limit. Every so often on a 40 road it beeps at you then badly distracts you saying ‘KEEP CONTROL’ when you’re basically just driving like a human and not like a robot.

You can configure these and activate ‘Personalised safety mode’ (you have to activate every time you start car) which you can actually drive it without being beeped to hell, but Dacia should really improve the software and configure with real driving conditions as it does more distraction than safety in default mode.

I have been very lucky I see Derek Kent each time I change my car and this one is my 6th I find it very easy to drive comfortable to sit in and because of my bad hip it's at right height for me to get in and out of without causing problems to my hip I like the way Derek gives me all the facts and gives me time to think it over and the cars have all been presented in top condition I'm very happy with the service I've had since my first dacia in 2011

Overall a positive experience. I enjoy how the vehicle drives, it’s a decent size and I appreciate how it looks. It’s also economical enough at 42mpg on average. But overall quality is lacking. The digital radio has never worked properly, bits of trim keep falling off, and the front electric windows have both completely stopped opening and closing. I have only done 1600 miles, I worry how my car will look after 12 months!

I liked the colour , not happy about the new addition it pulls you in if your near the hard shoulder , this experience hasn’t been the best , and wasn’t explained and came as a shock , also no manual , I was told it was online , not the same , was not treated as a valid customer, as this is my fifth car , and I recommended these cars to my family, I personally will not purchase any more .

This new car has a much more noisy engine than my previous stepway. The sat nav is not working properly. I don't like the black wheels and the white plastic logo. The old Dacia badge and silver wheels looked much nicer. The steering wheel keeps battling with me, when I'm perfectly positioned on the road. I wish I had kept my previous Dacia instead buying another new one

My second Dacia (I had a Logan MCV previously). I am delighted with the new Sandero Stepway. Build quality is very good as are the equipment levels. I like the fact that its tec is restricted to useful features rather than spurious random ones. I think the only thing that could be usefully added is a blind spot monitoring system.
