- The renault SUV line-up consist of Kiger, Duster, Captur and Keleos. In this video we are checking out the duster which is offered in both 4x2 and 4WD derivatives.
I have a 2011 2nd hand Sandero that is turning 10 years in June, and I have never had any issues with it. I've been doing my own service for the past 3 years. The car just needs to be well maintained and it will keep going.
2012 Sandero here and still going strong in 2023 at 240,000km on the clock
I also bought one today sandero stepway 2012 I hope we will take care of each other 😊
I respect that engine so much. They fitted it in the Merc A180CDi back in 2013. The cost of that car was R352K full spec. For that price today you get a Nissan Micra.
I owned a 2007 Renault Megane 1.6 that I bought in 2014 and let go off in 2020. It probably cost me more than what I’d bought it for to replace the gearbox, engine and other mechanical or auto-electrical parts
However, I then bought a Renault Megane RS 280 EDC Lux and average 12L/100km. I’m happy with my decision 😀😀😀.
Average 12L/what?!🤯🤗
Muzi, the truth is that I bought it because it was my dream car. The average is because of the pops and bangs. We’re looking at 8L/100km during the week and about 15L/100km on weekends. For long distances it gives me 7-8L/100km 😉
Damn bro, are you seriously happy with your decision considering the fuel consumption?
@@SenzoDlomo I’m over the moon. The fuel consumption is there due to my aggressive driving and I use those 205kw frequently. With normal driving I can get 8-9l/100km urban and 7-8km/100km long distance.
Renault is a good brand. Also remember that Nissan NP200 is Renault and mine is 5 years old with no issues. That dci engine is the best and is also fitted in morethan 10 cars including benz A180 cdi, Qashqai, xtrail, clio, np200, capture, kadjar etc...
"if it's your day, you're going to die with or without airbags"🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
So you proceed to grind, drill or stamp without ear protection? I'd rather have peace of mind in knowing my passengers (Magogo, kids, friends sometimes) have a curtain airbag should something hit from the side. They do save lives in a lot of scenarios. Yes, there are those accidents nothing will save you from, but you don't get to choose them!
Drove a Renault Capture 1.5 diesel, ,loved the car. Fuel consumption was light... Next in line is the duster because it is bigger than the capture.. thank you for the review
Thanks for entertaining me. I laughed a lot. Love your sense of humour. Regards from UK.
DUSTER 1.5 DCI is the best thing ever for me. Fuel consumption is more than efficient. Wudnt trade it for anything. 3 years going strong. Going for my 45k kilometers service in two weeks. Love it
Same here
Got 140k on the clock with no major issues.
@mfundo how much was your big service at 90k Km. I hear that it’s expensive. Sold my 1st Duster at 67k Km and thinking of selling my 4x4 at 60k Km. Scarred of expensive stuff to be replaced as I hav just come out of maitamenance plan
I had a Renault Megane GTline 2010 model. The best car brand ever since I also owned Merc, BMW (2014), Toyota, Isuzu and many other brands. I will buy a Duster any day. The best car based on price, fuel economy and offroad ability. I believe Renault make honest cars which serve their purpose well and is very economical. Look I am a mature person and look differently at cars and am not flashy, and a Duster fits my lifestyle and pocket well.
Additional I never had issues with Renault Dealerships as they resolved any issues I had with the car which was very little which made owning a Renault a pleasure.
My girlfriend has it, we bought a diesel in 2020 March and we have never complained.
This car is very fuel efficient. I love it.
Hi. I owned a Ranault Scenic and it shared parts with Nissan Tiida, hence the parts were not scarce.
Renaults do have a parts availability issue, I don't know why but it does exist. I owned a second-hand Sandero and I struggled big time due to parts, even at scrapyards I struggled. At some point I had to just give up replacing headlights due to the loooong waiting period, I was told that the long waiting period is due to the fact that the headlights had to be imported, they were also too expensive coz of importing.
Renaults are good cars though, I still miss some features from that Sandero which are not on my Vivo. I do not see any problems for someone who is buying it brand-new and they're planning to get rid of it within five years.
Hi, I own a 2019 duster CVT. We realize that Renault has discontinued the production of duster in India since last year. So do the existing owners like us need to be worried because of this? My car is just 4 years old.
Hi Muzi, may you please do a review on Mazda Cx-3 if possible.
Waiting for that high mileage German car. Cannot wait.
The farmers wife's car...
Mara Muzi what was the point of asking us which vid to upload first when you already knew that the Porsche was going to be last? Ai
😂😅😂 Muzi, you're a legend bro... Hahahahaha, the armrest part... 😂😂😂
i had a reanualt duster dynamique its a very good car and is reallly reliable , it is has good fuel consumption , the starter tends to ware out after 4 years
Is it expensive to replace?
@@MuziSambo yes
Dig your videos. Awesome.
1:14 wooooooooooooow shapa hooter daar sO 911 GTS
Plz review Hilux Legend v6
That armrest though 😂😂😂
"I won't complain about the arm rest cause people will say i complain a too much but come on what is this?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
02:11 surfing boards and R100 000 bicycles, yup! 😂 …#biltong gang

😂🏆 I can't believe I'm not the only who hates SUV's
🤣🤣🤣you're indeed a daredevil. A 5 series for 400k!
hi mileage M5....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My uncle currently has Renault Sandero that he bought new in 2013. It has clocked over 600 000kms and still going.
600 000km in 10 years? That's 60 000 km per year...
@@SeseleErnest u ver smart 🤗🤗
I have owned the Sandero Stepway 900t . I did about 30 000km in 5 months due to that it was super light on feul. I stayed in Musina and hone is Durban, driving home was so cheap.
How is maintenance in terms of costs?
@@NjabuloMshengu-yo4qw it’s cost effective. The engine is not complicated and no turbo. He has done 6 timing belt changes.
Haha, " high mileage German car from WeBuyCars, just to see what's the worst that can happen "..
I definitely can't wait to see that gamble!
You think he bought it? 😂
In life you must take risks😂😄
@@MuziSambo it's your money bra!
Khuzani The King of Maskandi thanked you in his new car post. You are a big deal my guy congratulations 🙌🙌🙌
I saw it on Instagram🙂
I used to own a Renault Clio, and the issue that it had was electric issues. The car was short-circuiting, and the window switches used to be the problem. I ended up not replacing the window switches and relying on the AC until I got rid of the car. Besides that, it is a good brand.
I owned two Renault cars, the first was the Megane IV 1.6 Dynamique and never had any issues with it at all. And then I wanted something sportier and still went for a Megane, this time I got a 2017 Megane IV GT Turbo, this is the best (and most underrated) car I've owned so far. It had the performance and comfort I never expected. No issues with it either and I'm looking to go for the Megane RS Lux next 😅 I know, but I love this car!
Availability of parts? Has it ever given you any challenge?
Renault all the way😊🙂...Interesting!
@@lesediseemela9856 the only issue I had in the ownership of the Megane GT was the battery going flat and wouldn't start, but I took it to the dealership and warranty covered it, it cost about R4000 because it's a special battery for cars with Start/Stop but my car was fine within a day.
Oh, and there was one other issue I remember, the windows stopped working at some point and it turned out to be an electrical fault caused by water ingress/moisture inside the doors, which can happen after a couple years of ownership. I researched the issue and found that it's common with the 2016-2019 Megane models, but then I took the car to the dealership and it was also sorted within 2 days - also covered by warranty. I never had to wait too long for repairs and never paid a cent. Thanks to the warranty, maintenance plan and great dealership that always took good care of me.
@@MuziSambo but I'm also considering the Volvo V40 or Audi A3 Sportback, we'll see. Thanks for the great content Muzi
@@ZakPooe rather take the RS. Something more special than your other options.
I drove a Renault Clio 4 for 7 years and that car never gave me problems at all. So French cars are not an issue if you take care of them.
I got myself a Renault kadjar 1.2Tce dynamic back in 2020 multiple trips to Giyani per year so far no issues.
I had a 2019 Duster and regret selling it. It's very reliable and fuel efficient. Only reason I sold it was because it had 2 airbags. This vehicle is good when pulling a trailer as well.
"...compact SUV to buy of you stay in Eastern Cape..." I fetl that cos I'm from there.
Muzi, pls review mahindra xuv 500🙏
Yes please doc MJ
I own a 2018 clio 4 authentic. No problems whatsoever. Smooth drive, quick thanks to the turbo, good fuel consumption and it looks good. A great everyday car . No complaints from my side
Good to hear!
Bought the car after watching your review and I'm loving it.
"I don't normal complain about plastic finishes"
I disagree with you there MJ 😄😅, you once did a review on a 2022 Hyundai Kona N whereby when you were doing the interior you said "I don't know why Hyundai likes throwing cheap plastic on cars that deserve to be premium, aku plastic kuyafiwa la, almost everything you see on the dash is plastic" 😂😂😂😂
Please 🙏 review Suzuki Ertiga
“I won’t complain about the armrest, but come on WHAT IS THIS?”😂😂😂
🤣💀
Thanks Muzi 🙏 Been looking out for a Duster review for a long time. Your channel’s definitely the best in SA, no comparison IMO. Just one thing: on the topic of airbags, with respect I think you are completely wrong. Watch enough crash test videos and see what a difference multiple airbags make. Especially in side-on collisions. I think something like 30% of fatalities are from t-bone style impacts. Your head can hit the shell of the car and the head of the person next to you, even in a relatively low-speed situation. You really want side air bags in that situation if possible.
This is a gem...this comment might save a couple lives🙆♀️🔥
6 yr old renault clio rs trophy. zero issues. my polo gti on the other hand had quite a few warranty claims
I own a Renault Sandero since 2018,and got it brand-new in the 5 years I never had an issue The car is very reliable.
My uncle had Sandero Stepway. It was good. He moved to Duster. We loved it so much we fought for it. I'm on the Clio IV, Dynamique for 2 years now. Very much perfect.
i NEEED the "High milage BMW from WeBuyCars" video or else I won't be able to live 🥺🙏
"The car you must buy if you stay in the Eastern Cape" 😂😂
Yeah I also loled and he said it so casually.
I wonder why Eastern cape specifically
@@elliotemmanuelnogo1632 The roads are not in good condition, or not completed
@@njabulondlovu6732 lol I thought the whole country is like that, but EC takes a cup in that shame. Potholes everywhere in the province
@Elliot Emmanuel Nogo EC is in a lane of it's own 😂
Please go to Volvo’s… we’ve been waiting for more than 2 years now🥺
I have had 2 renault vehicles, 2004 Scenic 1.9 dci and 2017 sandero stepway 900t (0.9). Renault is amazing at feul efficiency and comfort. One of the most practical car brands. It is no suprise that they have been developing engines for Nissan and Mercedes. Car parts are very cheap, cheaper than VW or any German brand.
Can any one with a Duster 4x4 share its challenges if you keep it for too long. Mine is 3 years…. Just crying because dealership wants R6,5 k for brakes which is steep I think as such I am thinking of selling the car before it’s too expensive to keep. Other thing is the back seat is hard for long distance according to my children. But it’s way better than the previous shape. Still very confused to be honest If this will last me 10 years. I am good in taking care of cars… my children are using a 20 & 17 years old Japanese to travel long distances hence I ask if Duster can stand such long time
Otherwise I will miss the technology and 4x4 capability. Fuel economy, that diesel is excellent
Renault in actually a good car. Currently 145000km still work as long as u service it . Good fuel economy especially diesel no lie u can go far with one tank . Only problem is part s bit expensive but they ain't hugely expensive as people make them out to be . Safe wen it comes to theft . Just parts only e.g if a Toyota gearbox is 15k rental is 20k but the is no crazy waiting period like haval ,or other brands since most of the parts are kept in a Wearhouse but some they import.but if anyone is buying one I'll definitely recommend and they give huge discount on if u ask probably.
I see🙂
Most South African don’t have knowledge about cars , French cars are one of the best in the world . Renault is best if you maintain the car ..
My dad drove a 2019 Duster 1.6 And it wasn't fuel efficient
Hi had a 2019 Renault Koleos 2.5 Dynamique 4x2 brand new. Very spacious vehicle, premium looking interior with ambient lighting. Very smooth drive but lacks power, engine screeches when overtaking. It was an overall good vehicle I enjoyed driving for about 3 years. Fuel consumption was around 6.7l/100km. They are quite pricey now but the new 2023 update coming to SA seems to be the last version before being discontinued, according to an article I read last week.
Can we get a Focus RS on the channel 🥺🥺
Have you done Mercedes Benz a250 AMG line? Beautiful and informative videos
Did JOS send you here ?
@@smangamthethwa4732 I've been commenting on most of Muzi's video asking for it, so Nah, JOS didn't send me. Is JOS the guy who has a Focus ST 1 one?
my mother owed the 2007 renault cleo 3 1.5 dci for almost 6 years, she gave it to me in 2019 and I never had problems we sold the car last year at 396 000 km. these cars are fuel efficient and reliable if you take good care of it, that is why am so in love with desiel cars now my love for them started when I owned a desiel renault cleo. I bought a 2011 chevy aveo 1.6 and I am regreting each and everyday because this car chows petrol a lot.
Had my kwid since 2016 November . Never had any problems. Now thinking of getting the duster 1.5d auto
I have a 2022 Duster EDC zen & I consistently get 5.1l per 100km..
I'm using my girlfriend's phone right now to watch this video and you've burnt me with the "what Madam wants,Madam gets" part lol.
Ai Muzi ngeke lol.
Loving the channel my brother
I purchased the Renault Clio V Intense. Best decision I ever made. It has features for days.
I have been using a Renault sandero since 2017 and so far no problems
the NP200 is basically a Renault. It’s been pretty good
I had sandero 0.9T Dynamique then been Driving Duster 2018 1.5 Dynamique 4x2. Its the best car by far , comfort , offroad capabilities. Actually duster have no direct competition in its segment if you looking for anything better that it you will go to Fortuner.
Most reliable cars in my family are Renaults, other brands like BMW, Audi, they always give us headaches.
I own a 2017 stepway and it has been good to me since I bought. I bought it as a second hand and have had it for just over 2 years and no issues at all, starts up every morning and has decent power....I had never driven a turbo charged engine before and I have to say I am loving it. For a 0.9 litre, it is not a efficient as I had hoped it would, I average around 6l/100km
This car is not even super cute but R400K for this car .it's total no no
Muzi"s commentary kills me all the time😂. Good work!
Hi Muzi
Can you please do a video about buying a car cash vs finance.
The pro's and con's, how to negotiate for a better deal if buying cash.

Service your car thats all i can tell you about the car, Drove A Megan GT line till it got 180 000km and the only reason i sold it. It is because I had to replace an injector
My ex drives a kwid ,he's sitting on 560km and never experienced any major issues , Renault is a great brand honestly just got bad PR honestly 🤣☹️ .
Your videos are always educational can you please make a video about Toyota starlet please please
Doc im driving Nissan NP200 it has renault engine drove it for 7 years and no problem
Top speed 169km/h oh no this car I'd not for me
"R100k bicycle 🚲" 😂😂😂😂
I drive a 2nd hand Clio IV 2018 model as my first car.. I haven't had any problem so far and I plan to keep the car longer or until it starts giving me a problem
Don't listen to people, the fact that these car are sold in South Africa clearly you can get parts. Yes it's true some parts take time to be delivered because they must order them. So if you like a Renault buy it, you will get parts most importantly service the Car
Not eastern cape catching some shots 🤣🤣🤣
Gang fight...stray bullets 🙆♀️😂
i didn't like SUVs until I had to drive in the rural villages
Please do the new suzuki baleno 2023 model.
The Baleno from last year, is the same as this year. He's reviewed the car more than once.
The lights at the back they copied jeep renegate
Amazing content
Ni view ku ntatwa ti jokes ta nwina hosi ya mina😂😂😂😂
“Naked plastic” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That porshe @ -1:14🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are spot on with the Eastern cape comment!! I owned one from new for a year, had 4.8 as my average over 10000km. The car is fantastic. the issues i had were rear leg room space and also not enough power if you are not on a fuel run. Anything after 110 to 120 becomes a challenge, especially in the manual zen, which has the lowest output. I would have kept the car, but once i wanted a 4x4, I went back to a P series LT. Great vid, and SPOT ON as usual .
I'm interested to know how the P-Series is serving you; real world off road capability, is the power adequate etc
I own the Clio 4, and it's the worst car I've ever owned. And I bought it new and fresh from the French box. I can't sing about Je ne sais quoi!!
Poor ridge quality, let's not even talk about refinement.
If it's the 1st car you've ever owned, you won't know the difference cause you've nothing better to compare it to.
"The resolution is not that impressive but at least you have the feature " 😭😭😭😭🤣.... Bra???? Ay kodwa nabo shame ay 😭😫😫
Wife owns a 2015 Sandero stepway 900t. Bought new, hasn't skipped a beat.
Why Eastern Cape🤣🤣🤣
Wife owns a 2015 Sandero stepway 900t. Bought new, hasn't skipped a beat.
I have this model but the 4x4 model . Very light on fuel and it really works in areas like Mpumalanga and delmas. Since theres no roads there hai you survive my bra.
A tractor got stuck in Bronkenspruit but me i put it in 4wd mode and drove out full of mud and happy
This channel is gem, I've subscribed... and I will join... (soon). Good content my brother... love the subtle humour
"this is the car you should buy if you stay in Eastern Cape " mara why😅
Renault bought DACIA which is a maker of very cheap cars in european. That explains the plastic and cheap feel.
7:15 Please buy the high mileage German cars🤣🤣🤣 We need to see this movie
😁😄😂
@@MuziSambo thank you 🔥😂👌
I bought a german car with 63000 km in 2020 it is now on 111000. Just after 1000000km (warrantee expiry) the drivetrain light came ON. It spent almost a month at the OEM and I parted with R15k after some 'discount'.
@@diferakselepe6289 hectic OK... Thanks for that
I have a sandero stepway and boy I tell you the worst decision I have ever had, engine problems left right and center.
I am trying to get rid of it because I have spent so much on repairs.
