Sandero Stepway customer reviewsSandero Stepway seen through the eyes of those who drive it every day

The additional technology (like all the eco settings and driver assists) is too intrusive and impossible to switch off permanently. Whilst some people might like having all these features turned on by default every time they get in the car, it is a seriously irritating inconvenience for those of us who don't, having to turn them off manually every time you start the engine! Apart from this it's a good car and I'm very happy with it. Is worth also noting, the 3-cylinder TCe90 engine is also quite growly compared to a traditional 4-cylinder engine. I can live with this because it's no noisier than a diesel engine and the performance remains good, but it is something the buyer should be aware of.

To date the car has not been used that much, so it's difficult to give a full impression, that said it starts when I ask it to and gets me to where I need to be.

One issue I noticed is the front camera intermittently becomes unavailable at which time several emergency and safety related driver assistance features become disabled, my issue is mainly that there is no audible alert to the driver that these safety related systems have become unavailable.

I'm currently in correspondence with Dacia UK about this issue.

It’s ok. But it’s basic. I knew that but it feels cheap when you’re driving it too. Bit noisy - crap in the cold, it’s jumpy when you start on the morning. Takes ages to warm up, stereo jumps and goes weird when you pass another car in the motorway. I know it’s only £17k. But it’s still £17k. For what it is I’d say it’s overpriced.

Love the upgraded reversing camera so much easier to reverse park. Don’t like the backward step of having to connect your phone by a wire to use the car play features instead of it automatically connecting via Bluetooth. Don’t like that the speedometer doesn’t automatically come on stays on mileage until change to speed manually

After only 1 month we had to return car for faulty window. Treated badly by our dealer who has let us down and we have decided that we'll never buy another Dacia from this establishment

Onboard software not fully operational, can't turn off traffic updates, and it doesn't function when it's cold. There dashboard squeaks and creaks quite a bit as well.

The whole experience of buying my new stepway expression from start to finish was very satisfying

Brilliant wee car. Only disappointment is the weak pressure of windscreen washer.

It’s a lovely drive, comfortable seats, easy shift gear box, holds the road well.

Pleased with the car but think it could do with a heated screen
