    This may seem odd but I really appreciate that Dacia gave the Sandero smaller rims with bigger tires. I hate this tend of massive rims and rubber band tires as the cars tires are part of the suspension and bigger tires make for a more comfortable ride.

      The only downside with bigger thick tyres the body roll can be overwhelming, I had it with Toyota Verso before my God it was terrible lol, now on my Renault Grand Scenic with 17's and thinner tyres the difference in the bends is night and day, the scenic sticks on the road and gives you confidence around winding roads. Comfort wise I don't think it's intrusive, perfect balance I must say.

      Well said. Not often I see someone agree with me on this. I notice the new Mazda 2 hybrid (the one based on the Yaris) has a 15 inch wheel option on the Agile model. Far comfier ride than the Yaris on 16 inch wheels.

    The bi-fuel version is not "awkward" as you put it ,as it is basically the petrol version with an extra tank in the spare wheel bay. (The Autogas app is really useful for locating LPG locations).
    When you can buy LPG for 57p a litre why would you not buy the bi-fuel. Once you get the hang of filling it , it's easy.
    I run it solely on LPG and save lots of money. It's also more powerful and very nippy. It can go over 800 miles with both tanks full. I bought the comfort bi-fuel for £11995 and it's fantastic.
    Footnote - I have just driven 355 miles to Birmingham and back on roughly £23 of LPG.

    Great video, however a minor point we went for the comfort bi-fuel as the bi-fuel is a no cost extra (which I believe you incorrectly said cost more). with it you get additional LPG tank in place of the spare wheel (which most cars have removed anyway). It is the autobox which raises the price of the comfort pack above £13,000 price point.

    I've had the pleasure of a Dacia Sandero Bi-Fuel (Petrol and LPG) courtesy car for the past two weeks. I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed with it. Fortunately, I am able to buy Autogas LPG locally and it only cost me £25 to fill the LPG tank which gives me a range of nearly 300 miles. My own car costs nearly £100 to fill and I'm lucky if I can get 480 miles out of a tankfull. What's more, the Sandero definitely seems to run smoother and pull stronger on LPG. I've had much worse courtesy cars which should have been a lot better than the Sandero.

    Test drove this model and specification early December and was satisfied with it enough to order one. Delivery quoted as late as May 22 and no discount on the table such is the market right now. Fair trade-in offer for my current old diesel sealed the deal. 1.0 TCe 90 is a stable Renault/Nissan petrol engine so good value with the 6 gear manual. Although delayed, I expect and demand the specification to be sold to me according to the kit detailed in the brochure with no loss of Apple CarPlay and their basic satnav fitted as standard. Audi tried to mess me about earlier this year but backed down when I threatened to tear up the agreement we had signed and walk away. Same rule applies. BTW it took ages to establish the tyre pressures (f/r) are 32/29psi and recommended top up engine oil is Castrol GTX 5w30 RN17.

Now it's too late, however i will try to retrofit the control with spare parts from the prestige. I already bought the digital controller with fascia. i need to find the aircon box along with the control module. I found few online but i am not sure if there any difference between left and right hand drive. Currently not many spare parts for the new sandero here in the uk. If not i will order the parts from dacia dealer but that would probably cost me a leg and arm. In Europe and north Africa you can get that option fpr about 200£.
