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

I prefer the stepway.

Love it! Great car.

Nothing to add

All around it is clear the car is cheaply built.

Bodywork is not aligned properly. Had an issue with the first car do in the end my dealer ordered me a second which had the exact same issue.

Design issues are numourous but a few ones that really bug me include:

- Exposed painted body work in the boot. Prone to getting scratched. Easily rectified with an upholstery finish.

- Seat position. I'm 6ft2in and only just get the seat far enough back to allow a comfortable driving position. Even then I have to pump the seat down which then slides it back at an angle. However I then find the seat too low which 5-6 inches of room above my head and just about see enough over the wheel. Seat should slide back further so I don't need to adjust height. First car I have had that requires height if the to give more leg room. Weird seat mechanism.

- Safety settings make the car undriveable. I all ways turn the personalised safety settings on. Unfortunately you have to manually turn them on every trip. With safety settings on the car wants to force you into unsafe positions on the road. Lane assist for example doesn't take into account road conditions and you need some strength to keep the car in the right position. I'm athletic and it's takes a lot of effort. Annoying in car sounds from the safety settings are also very distracting.

- Windscreen wipers. The wipers are activated the wrong way round. I want one of wiping as a flick down. Otherwise it forces your hand into an unatural driving position. Again first car it's been this way round that I"very ever owned. Also screen wash refreezes in cold weather conditions and I find the reservoir in an odd place behind the engine. Usually near the front/ warmer part of the engine.

- Noisy wheel arches. Stones, etc. make a right racket when they get flung through the wheels. Looking at the wheel wells you can see there is not really much in the way of protective metal work. Just exposed body work. Again not an arrangement I've seen on cara before.

- This car has a 50 litre fuel tank yet I seem to go through a tank of fuel much faster than my old car which had a 40 litre tank. Certainly not as fuel efficient as my old car which had 11 years on this one. Certainly a step backwards when every other manufacturer is going the other way with fuel efficiency.

Those are the main points. Supposed to be cheaper to maintain vehicle. That remains to be seen. My insurance cost seems much higher than other vehicles contrary to what the I dustry says a out Dacia's.

Overall not worth the £15.5k I paid. Not even worth this if all the above issues were ironed out.

Fix all the buttons to work....reset if necessary

I would have appreciated more time spent give me ask the customer explaining how everything works. I used to listen to music a lot and I miss it because I now play no musicBecause I don't want to pay for a Spotify subscription or use my internet allowance on my phone. I didn't understand about Lane assist and how to turn it off. Fortunately I do now as it is the most dangerous frightening experience. I understand that all new cars have to have it but it would have been nice to have been shown how to turn it off. It drives very well and is comfortable.

Have staff at the showroom that don’t lie about what you’re getting to make a sale. To then agree to a sept pick-up to them have a load of crud told to you about the car turning up early and they have to give it to me before the agreed date. I would have stuck with Dacia but when this pcp is up I’ll be going elsewhere and hope that many others do the same. Shocking doesn’t even cover it.

Hill start good but no visual indication that it has engaged.

Centre pull down armrest for driver can only be used when stationary as it sits over the handbrake. Why not just put in electronic handbrake. Dashboard view very basic.

Economical to run but lacks acceleration power.

I test drove this car thinking it would be very basic. It isn't !!! It's comfortable, reliable, economical, and has plenty of extras. The styling is great. There's plenty of luggage space, especially with the back seats down. For the price, I think it's a fantastic bargain.

Not keen on the car trying to straighten up the car when you're actively driving.i press this button each drive to stop the car overriding how I drive. Harder to park than my last car,heavier steering but nice and reliable comfortable and a bargain.
