Well so far (early days) I'd recommend a Sandero simply because they seem built fine and are cheap, a new sandero is still cheaper than a Ford or VW that are a few years old.
Great video, car looks great overall, and your gear set up is very similar to what i have in a car, all i would add is a unopened bottle of water or drink but that's about it. Great tip about the air recycling.
Cheers, yeah if I am out I normally have a bottle in the car, but I'd probably buy a canteen specifically for the car (Or just use one of my other canteens laying around) that way it's a bit more durable than a plastic bottle.
"Why's the steering wheel on the wrong side?" In all seriousness, I keep a GP-5, a Gerber machete, basic toolkit, two weeks supply of medications, jumper cables, and a medical bag in my Escape. Are crowbars illegal yet? They are very useful, and the big ones are great for warding off Meth heads in parking lots. Edit: I also keep a weeks worth of ramen noodles and soda in the car. Not healthy, but it'll keep me alive.
Apparently they do, it's fine to leave on most of the time but I don't like it at busy roundabouts as it makes pulling away take a bit longer, eco mode seems only useful for city driving, actually makes fuel economy worse for varying speeds on open roads. I don't really drive how the cut off is meant to work, it happens if you are in neutral for a 20 seconds or so when on, but I normally put the car into 1st and keep the clutch depressed when waiting to pull away unless it's traffic lights that I know are slow to change.
I too have an old car that I should probably change. I've had it since 2005 where it had 20K miles. It now has over 160k and it's still going strong. My problem is that I now do a good 20K miles per year so the depreciation on a new car would make it pointless. And I love my old Leon Cupra.
It really boils down to what's cheaper in the long run, my Golf was costing me well over £1000 each year so it was really getting silly to keep driving.
As said in the video, the Dacia's used to be licensed built Renaults, the Sandero is basically a tarted up Clio 3 with modern parts in it, but this model is about £6k cheaper than getting the equivalent clio.
Weaponsandstuff93 all cars have parts wear out, some more than others though. Older cars have also already depreciated in value. I suppose a gti isn't so overproduced that parts cost next to nothing, however.
Nice ride. I owned nothing but sticks until I bought my Challenger 4 years ago. I know its almost sacrilege to drive a muscle car that's an automatic, but I just got tired of that shit. Maybe my next one will be manual. Drive safe M8./Mike
Cheers, automatics make a lot more sense in the States with the bigger roads, over here everything is so cramped it makes sense to buy the cheaper manual cars, they cost less to have repaired and generally are better with fuel consumption (if you are a better driver), some people do drive automatics here but those are people who are generally too lazy to work out how gear ratios work. My Granddad drives an automatic now but that's mostly because he's in his 90s and it's just easier.
@@Weaponsandstuff93 and can I ask your thoughts on the 1.2 petrol or the 1.5 diesil ,just because looking it seems to be a cheaper option. Stat wise ,and does it make a real big difference. My family and I dont really get much into cars and basically the thought is an engine is an engine and the websites dont make it easy to get figures on them if I'm being honest especially if you dont have a clue.
You can drive fine with almost any mask, as I've covered in my videos on panoramic masks, the field of view is not really much bigger than a two eye mask.
Looks pretty well equipped and easy to service. I hear these things have racked up hundreds of thousands of miles as taxis in Europe with 0 problems. If anything does go wrong a local garage won't have any problem fixing it either. Most garages refuse to work on modern german cars now.
There's also lots of dodgy stuff in the modern German cars, such as more computer controls on everything that only the dealers can fix for a massively inflated bill, basically all I want is a car that is very cheap to run and fairly reliable, so far I've done about 200 miles in this Dacia and no issues yet.
@@Weaponsandstuff93 would be great if the car insurance laws in this country wernt as messed up. Here the older and cheaper the car the more expensive the insurance. Makes it impossible to drive some great 2nd hand bargins and trapps people into buying new cars. None the less dacia great cars.
Lada is best car for durability and Chernobyl exploring, and can be modified for any gopnik stalker to enjoy some mutant hunting. (No mutants were harmed in the making of this comment)
what a coincidence, i wanted to ask about a romanian gas mask. no idea which model it is, i know its a copy of the german m65 and as far as i know they copied the STANAG thread as well so it doesn't work with GOST filters, and i heard that there is an actual variance in thread pitch is enough to allow for imperfect sealing when using a NATO filter. also it was put away in a plastic bag and pretty deep into a junk pile in a closet. my 2 questions are: how much tough love can a gas mask take when cleaning? if you have any previous experience with romanian gas masks, can it even take a filter properly? and if yes, which filter?
Firstly no idea if they are STANAG or GOST, I don't have any Romanian masks so I cannot check the filter threads or intake threads. You can generally clean a mask quite hard assuming it's not a cloth mask.
*slaps roof of car*
"This baby can fit so many gas masks in there"
Yes a lot.
Should I buy sandero 2013 0,9 tce 90 ps or should I buy vw polo 2010 1,4 mpi 86 ps
Were is the gp5 filter intake
Uses HEPA filters thankfully.

Lovely motor mate a good car for the money,nothing wrong with them enjoy the car and drive safely.always nice to have a brand new car.
Cheers, yeah my old Golf was technically a lot more exciting but this is very practical, sort of like the older Fiat Panda.
Looks nice mate ,In need of a new (new to me )car myself but putting off until next year I think

:'-(
Good news!
Moving on
Maybe next time you will have a spitfire...
Good vid
Shit, a romanian brand. Really cool to see stuff from my country reviewed by you.
Cheers, loving the Dacia so far, cheap but reliable :)
Jack Noir nu stiam ca Dacia ajunge pana in UK
Mda, ajunge peste tot in lume. Nu in cantitati mari, dar ajunge.
Nice, don't think I've ever heard of these before. But maybe they're just not imported as much in the states.
They are left hand drive by default so I assume they'd turn up at some point but in America you tend to like bigger cars.
Dacia and Renault aren't really exported in the US anymore
I'm still baffled that you got the name right
Not hard to pronounce.
The combustion start-stop thing in a manual car suprised me. I didn't know those existed.
Apparently they do, it's fine to leave on most of the time but I don't like it at busy roundabouts as it makes pulling away take a bit longer, eco mode seems only useful for city driving, actually makes fuel economy worse for varying speeds on open roads.

That was the air filter for the engine. Plus it might be Romanian but there just a Renault clio.

Topgearandstuff93
They don't actually talk about the Sandero on top gear though.
Two of my interests; cars and survival stuff! :) What's your favourite car? (I personally like the Toyota MR2 SW20)
BTR 152 but that's not really a car.
“VTEC KICKED IN AM I RIGHT!!!”
Aren't Honda VTEC engines V4, this is a V3.
Weaponsandstuff93 “V4”are in motorcycles and you can’t call every engine a V and VTEC are their own engine and aren’t Vs
Most Honda VTEC engine are an in-line four cylinder. This is an in-line three cylinder 👍
I love Dacia's the main reason being that the base Sandero model is good quality and only £5,500 for a factory new car.
Sadly the cheapest model is about £7K now I think.

What's the problem with the gti?
Old cars have parts wear out, and they become a false economy.
Weaponsandstuff93 all cars have parts wear out, some more than others though. Older cars have also already depreciated in value. I suppose a gti isn't so overproduced that parts cost next to nothing, however.

Well the Polo despite being a better car from the get go will probably run you a lot more costs on the constant parts needing replacing.
Weaponsandstuff93 hmm ok thank you, I will choose the polo because it will probably last me more.
How the car been since ? driving etc,after a new car myself...
Absolutely fine, nothing to complain about yet, getting about 55mpg combined.
btw, you had a gti inb4, are u into cars *question mark*
I'm thinking of getting one of these for a first car ,would you guys recommend one (second hand of course)
Yes mine still runs fine, averages about 54mpg

In case of emergency, wouldn't it be better to have some kind of panoramic mask in the car, rather than the Avon? In case you needed to drive.
You can drive fine with almost any mask, as I've covered in my videos on panoramic masks, the field of view is not really much bigger than a two eye mask.
the gopnik car
That's a Lada.
Maybe the older Dacia's.
James May has come out in you lol

I wouldn’t drive a Dacia, but hey, it’s your choice, it’s a cheap OK car, I’d rather have a Lada though.
Can't get Lada's in UK.
Weaponsandstuff93 ok, then it’s probably the best cheap car you can get over there.
Dacia is from Romania
BTW nice car
I know, and thanks.
I would make a joke but I think you're tired of them by now.
What joke
