Never lose this part of the show Matt. I see car reviewers start out with these kinds cars and ever come back to them. What keeps me viewing it that you approach each car with the same kind of values without doing the "Oh it's not like a Ferrari". Honest down to earth reviews
Yep. Amazing what they have created for the money, and shows perhaps how over complicated and expensive cars have become as of late. There is nothing wrong with going back to basics.
@@frociochilegge Well that engine is one of the most reliable 3 cylinders on the market(in my opinion). I've hardly ever or never seen a VW 1.0tsi ,1.2 tsi or Fords 1.0 ecoboost with more than 200k km-s but you see a lot of renault/dacia 0.9 engines past 200k km.... so i think it should be reliable, yeah it's a bit slower than the rivals but still.. I think is a good engine (considering the car price too)
Hard to say that with Sandero latest NCAP Crush test results.. (it scored only ** from *****).. So it fail for safety, anyway that is why competition betweem brands exist to let people choose based on what they need and what they afford.. So as for the cheapest version is an honest & decent, ok since most of those are to be used as basic models in rough parts of worlds like ( India, Colombia, Turkey, Mexic, Morrocco.. etc) but considering that most Sandero are sold in mid-range trims and top spec Stepway which can reach prices from 12k up to 16k in which case i would rather get a better quality Hyundai Kona / Kia Stonic / Citroen C3 Aircross / Renault Captur (even in lower base form to match the Stepeway price but any of those are still loaded with more options than Dacia at those prices and the owner get a higher quality, better equipped and (*****) NCAP rating ..
@@elvisfranca4759 Basic Sandero do not has that smart-key-fob, which lead me to say what he tested was close to top trim level in which case it should have those safety features in that price range..

That’s combined which I’m happy with. Admittedly waited a long time but for the price you can’t beat the comfort 👍🏼
Unfortunately, the Spring only shares the badge with this one... Dacia Spring is built in China and it's a mild adaptation for Europe. It's not the origin the problem, the problem is that It was designed to be a cheap china car :( Good or bad, Sandero, Logan and Duster are european design and manufactured
Dacia is owned by Renault Group .. i think they would keep this affordable and practical plan for Dacia brand ... for more posh cars they would use Renault brand ...
Fun fact: in Brazil we have rebranded Renault sandero, and there’s a sporty sandero RS with the 2.0 duster naturally aspirated engine and pilot sport 2 tires from factory
In Iran, too, it comes with a Renault badge. It has a 1.6 inline 4 under its bonnet and something between 100-130 HPs. The sad thing is that it's not the least expensive car here, which means there are plenty of crappier cars around
1. Dacia is sold under the brand Renault in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Asia and South America. That's because people are not familiar with the Dacia brand over there. So it's all just marketing. 2. The reason the Dacias in Brazil, Russia, Iran have different engines (2.0, 1.4 and what not) is because those countries do not have such tight environment restrictions like the EU has. In EU there are tighter and tighter restrictions on pollution every year, so car manufacturers are forced to kill the diesel engines, make smaller engines (1.0) or push for hybrid and electric engines. Otherwise they get fined with huge amounts of money.
I really do love the Sandero. Its cheap, can be quite fun to drive altho not exciting and most importantly it does the job excellently from taking you to point A to B. They are also quite reliable if you don't push them too hard. Dacias make the ideal cars for the reasonable people. This is a car you can so much more appreciate than more expensive cars, cause they do the same job for less money.
Can't wait for the Dacia Spring to launch!!!!!! Drove the Sandero Stepway for three years before selling it due to moving to Austria. Absolutely LOVED my car and was sad to let her go. No problems whatsoever over three years whereas other friends had to deal with all sorts of little niggles in new cars. Go Dacia!!
Best friend's dad died soon after the jab. Unexplained fatigue and sudden death. Family didn't want it checked out. It wasn't the heart, he had that checked when he lost energy after the poison. Didn't need to die. Enjoyed his garden so much.
I would give you a million thumbs up if I could, my mum and cousin who was 40 both died of covid in January, thank you for including your vaccine jab, hopefully it will help people on the fence go and get their jab and save lives.
Finally a Dacia that Matt understands! Brilliant cars and good service too in my experience. Just sold my two and a half year old Duster to family member. Sorry to see it go and he loves it too!
There are a lot of Dacias in Serbia. They are very good value for money. Usually, taxi services and companies buy them as fleet vehicles. Many people who don't drive so much also buy them new. My cousin has Dacia Logan 12 years old, only 60.000km on the clock 😁 A lot of companies also use Dacia Duster if they need some extra off road capabilities.
My respect for you was high before the video. Now it's even higher. Thanks for taking time for pronunciation.It's not just a name, it's our ancestors name.
This car is built to get people from A to B and it does it perfectly. If you keep the traffic rules you won’t need 300-400 HP “premium “ brand . German premium brand are better but not 10-15 times as they priced. For price-performance ratios it’s unbeatable I think….
I'm a massive petrol head but after the last two years of my 3.2 Audi CONSTANTLY breaking on me I'm actually tempted to buy one of these. I was looking at another fast used car for around 8k and it'll no doubt give me problems. I'm having a baby soon so many it's time to have a sensible car that won't give me anxiety. The fact it's new, doesn't depreciate too rapidly and has warranty fills my heart with peace.
Deffo good value for money , I had the old sandero 1,5 dci laureate model and was genuinely impressed with what you got for the money 👀, sat nav, cruise, aircon, parking sensors, Bluetooth, etc…. Surprisingly nippy and comfortable. 👍
I actually own one, and it's amazing how tough this car is. Here in Brazil we tend to love small, urban, tough cars (VW Beetle, Fiat Uno, etc ), they're cheap to maintain and mine actually gives me some fun driving it. Not to mention the RS model...
Apparently Dacia is coming to Australia. We'll see if they bother with the Sandero or if they only bring in the Duster. But if they can compete price wise with the MG3 then maybe. www.motoring.com.au/dacia-locked-in-for-australia-130248/
As a mechanic I generally despise Renaults. However there is no doubt they are improving. Amusing to see Dacia still using the Renault parts bin for the steering wheel audio controls. I hate to admit it but if I were in the market for an "affordable" hatchback this would be the one I would buy. Great review Mat. It is basically a Clio so why not save some money?
The one tested here is £13k + options. I doubt a similarly specced Clio would cost much more with the usual Renault discounts and the Clio is using the latest parts rather than last gen stuff. really though if you're going to spend the better part of £14k and want the car to last you're much better off shopping for something else.
Three years ago I've bought a £2000 old Toyota car, drove it around the world, now I am here talking to you. My neighbor drove a £200.000 Maserati 600HP for one month, hit an oak by the street, he's now 2m deep.
My neighbour drove a a £2000 old Toyota car, and he died of cancer of the anus. It was a slow, painful and boring experience, similar to driving a old Toyota.
I've had mine (Comfort trim) for two months now. Previously I had a 15 year old second hand car. Really glad I pushed the boat out to go new with Dacia rather than second hand again.
I just bought one for my dad 3 weeks ago and he absolutely loves it! I love it too to be honest. And the range topping model does have automatic climate control. I know because my dad has it. It's also the automatic CVT version and the gearbox is rather smooth.
@@MotorAlli I remember launching my manual 65 HP Corsa C changing gears at 4250 rpm with old friends inside and then asking what they thought were the hp of the car and they saying '120' and me feeling proud (ofc it was a secondary empty road).

Same here and we’ve just ordered one! £153PM through carwow with all the bells and whistles!
450 a month? I think My car is worth about 600.
@@mohawkZT what kind of deposit did you put down pal did you get the comfort bi fuel?
@@TabbingUK no worries - I put a £1500 deposit down and pay £158 pm for the comfort 1.0tce. I didn’t get bi fuel as gas is going up too and it still does over 400miles to a full tank for about £60. That’s combined which I’m happy with. Admittedly waited a long time but for the price you can’t beat the comfort 👍🏼
@@mohawkZT ahh nice yeah I put 1000 down and mines 180 so it's not bad at all, looking forward to getting it
You gotta admit the new Dacia cars don't look too bad.
Will be interesting to know if the Spring and Bigstar are any good.
I'ts got the Urus headlights lol
Unfortunately, the Spring only shares the badge with this one... Dacia Spring is built in China and it's a mild adaptation for Europe. It's not the origin the problem, the problem is that It was designed to be a cheap china car :( Good or bad, Sandero, Logan and Duster are european design and manufactured
@@cponofrei Designed maybe, but not european manufactured. Most Sanderos get manufactured in Marokko.
@@hauptmann25 the Dacia cars sold in europe are build in Romania, Pitesti.
I doubt Dacia Spring will be in UK. Maybe in 2023
i’m collecting mine this friday!! cant wait 🥰
how was it?
How is it?
How was it?
to people asking how it is : ITS AMAZING ! I absolutely love my dacia :)) i got the comfort version & its great 🥰
You still have the car ?
The rim underneath those hub caps aren't too bad at all. I actually quite like those XD
Indeed. Paint it up and it don't look cheap
Agreed. I personally really like the cap-less base car steelies.
Reminds me of an jdm trispoke design absolute sick car
They look a hell of a lot like the genuine wheels I had on my Ford Capri JPS Special edition in the 1980's.
Vw, opel and other brands use the same model for entry levels. They look cool especially for winter tyres.
Finally the Dacia Sandero is not delayed anymore
*Happy James May noise*
2:12 perfect summary of the sandero: "It´s fine"
I've seen one of these new sanderos in the street. The car is pretty good looking and being lower and wider makes it even better. Good job Dacia!
Good news! Finally, The Dacia Sandero has made it to Carwow!
Anyways
Good! Anyways
Anydays!
Good to know Dacia are continuing their thing of building affordable and practical cars and not trying to be the next Skoda.
Dacia is owned by Renault Group .. i think they would keep this affordable and practical plan for Dacia brand ... for more posh cars they would use Renault brand ...
Dacia provided cups and the flask so that Matt can't complain about them being too small or loose :P
Fun fact: in Brazil we have rebranded Renault sandero, and there’s a sporty sandero RS with the 2.0 duster naturally aspirated engine and pilot sport 2 tires from factory
Nice.... the 1.0🤢🤮
In Iran, too, it comes with a Renault badge. It has a 1.6 inline 4 under its bonnet and something between 100-130 HPs. The sad thing is that it's not the least expensive car here, which means there are plenty of crappier cars around
Omg that sounds epic dude 🤩
Tbf every Dacia gets rebranded as Renault in Brazil so fairs.
1. Dacia is sold under the brand Renault in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Asia and South America. That's because people are not familiar with the Dacia brand over there. So it's all just marketing.
2. The reason the Dacias in Brazil, Russia, Iran have different engines (2.0, 1.4 and what not) is because those countries do not have such tight environment restrictions like the EU has. In EU there are tighter and tighter restrictions on pollution every year, so car manufacturers are forced to kill the diesel engines, make smaller engines (1.0) or push for hybrid and electric engines. Otherwise they get fined with huge amounts of money.
I really do love the Sandero. Its cheap, can be quite fun to drive altho not exciting and most importantly it does the job excellently from taking you to point A to B. They are also quite reliable if you don't push them too hard. Dacias make the ideal cars for the reasonable people. This is a car you can so much more appreciate than more expensive cars, cause they do the same job for less money.
I love when James May are getting all personal with this car on Top Gear.
Daycia Sandero he called it.
Bruh, u listened again my request. Appreciate Matt. Best car journalist.
I approve of this. I recently drove a new Logan which is based on the same platform and it was an amazingly good drive! Impressed!
Can't wait for the Dacia Spring to launch!!!!!! Drove the Sandero Stepway for three years before selling it due to moving to Austria. Absolutely LOVED my car and was sad to let her go. No problems whatsoever over three years whereas other friends had to deal with all sorts of little niggles in new cars. Go Dacia!!
This is the best review of the year.
Well done Mat.
Good News the NEW Dacia Sandero has arrived in the UK
That’s amazing! Anyway..
Even beats an Aston Martin DBS in acceleration.
Best friend's dad died soon after the jab. Unexplained fatigue and sudden death. Family didn't want it checked out. It wasn't the heart, he had that checked when he lost energy after the poison. Didn't need to die. Enjoyed his garden so much.
Thats terrible, how old was he may i ask?
@@tentifr 84 and still gardening every day. Super good at chess still.
This car is sick for it's price, damn wtf.
I'm genuinely impressed, that's crazy
I have a feeling James May is going to buy this one. 🙈
Just to destroy it..he is an imbecil
I would give you a million thumbs up if I could, my mum and cousin who was 40 both died of covid in January, thank you for including your vaccine jab, hopefully it will help people on the fence go and get their jab and save lives.
“Great News!”
Was expecting this to be yelled at the video. Disappointed.
What?
James May : GREAT NEWS!
Jeremy Clarkson : What !!????
And the forever laughter 😂
@@confidential9960 the dac- hahaha!!!
Finally a Dacia that Matt understands! Brilliant cars and good service too in my experience. Just sold my two and a half year old Duster to family member. Sorry to see it go and he loves it too!
There are a lot of Dacias in Serbia. They are very good value for money. Usually, taxi services and companies buy them as fleet vehicles. Many people who don't drive so much also buy them new. My cousin has Dacia Logan 12 years old, only 60.000km on the clock 😁 A lot of companies also use Dacia Duster if they need some extra off road capabilities.
GREAT NEWS!
Mat Watson Reviewed a *LEGEND!*
And *LEGENDS* are heroes. The Sandero Saved our favorite Reviewer! Thank you Dacia!
Yeah
How does it save? Like he is not affected my covid
@@sabiha_. don't broke the chain just say the word "yeah"
Anyways
Feels like Mat did get better in reviewing affordable cars
Either that or he really likes this thing.
My respect for you was high before the video.
Now it's even higher.
Thanks for taking time for pronunciation.It's not just a name, it's our ancestors name.
Day 21 of asking for a bicycle race between Mat and Yianni
Keep going son.
I was Waiting for the Legendary review FOR 4 DAMN YEARS! But i also want:
Mats Gockykl
vs
Yianni's Biycle
This comment has become a staple of every carwow video
Keep on going next drag race will be a rally course between the Stig Mat and Yianni
Bugger off
This new design is great, just as a whole car. You made me think about it. Thanks!
This car is built to get people from A to B and it does it perfectly. If you keep the traffic rules you won’t need 300-400 HP “premium “ brand .
German premium brand are better but not 10-15 times as they priced.
For price-performance ratios it’s unbeatable I think….
Good News !!
What ?!?
The Dacia Sandero is on carwow !
Oh No ! Anyway-
...last week. (crowd laughing)
GOOD NEWS! It's the Dacia Sandero!
Captain Slow must've been proud.
Anyways
@@shr2000 Oh No!
Anyway 😂
@@Ozaneee 🤣
Good News!
I think it looks just fine for a cheap car and even an expensive car. Good job
The review we’ve all been waiting for
For 6 years
Yeeeees
Actually wanted to see whether this car could hit 60 mph at all. Just kidding: a nice package for that sum of money.
I'm a massive petrol head but after the last two years of my 3.2 Audi CONSTANTLY breaking on me I'm actually tempted to buy one of these. I was looking at another fast used car for around 8k and it'll no doubt give me problems. I'm having a baby soon so many it's time to have a sensible car that won't give me anxiety. The fact it's new, doesn't depreciate too rapidly and has warranty fills my heart with peace.
“I like a good knob gag” too much information Matt 😂
Love the urus style headlights
What about the vw scirocco rear lights?
😂👌
Deffo good value for money , I had the old sandero 1,5 dci laureate model and was genuinely impressed with what you got for the money 👀, sat nav, cruise, aircon, parking sensors, Bluetooth, etc…. Surprisingly nippy and comfortable. 👍
I was waiting for the review on the 911 992 gt3, but this is better
Here in Brazil this car is loved. Yes, this is real.
No wonder why. It's actually quite good.
Olha o preço lá em UK, dá vontade de chorar.
@Lobster .e A fost acum primim doar o mica particica din vanzari
I actually own one, and it's amazing how tough this car is. Here in Brazil we tend to love small, urban, tough cars (VW Beetle, Fiat Uno, etc ), they're cheap to maintain and mine actually gives me some fun driving it. Not to mention the RS model...
Sorry man, it is not this new generation Sandero. Looks like a facelift of the old one.
Someone who says Dacia properly 🇷🇴 This car it's a tank. Very reliable.
It actually looks pretty good on the outside.
Laugh or joke, this brand really set the records and selling better than luxury brands... Love what Dacia do, hope it continues that way.
In the same way Swatch sells more than Rolex...
they both tell the time@@IBo99608
Carwow in 2020
Mat : "because no one wanna watch a video with Dacia sandero"
2021 Carwow:
Well done Dacia.. the car looks amazing, inside and out.. I enjoyed this review Matt..
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
If they sold these in Australia, you'd likely see me picking one up at the dealership
They won’t where to wealthy
Apparently Dacia is coming to Australia. We'll see if they bother with the Sandero or if they only bring in the Duster. But if they can compete price wise with the MG3 then maybe. www.motoring.com.au/dacia-locked-in-for-australia-130248/
@@maxd4968 still quite a lot of people suffering from financial issues in Australia.
As a mechanic I generally despise Renaults. However there is no doubt they are improving. Amusing to see Dacia still using the Renault parts bin for the steering wheel audio controls. I hate to admit it but if I were in the market for an "affordable" hatchback this would be the one I would buy. Great review Mat. It is basically a Clio so why not save some money?
The one tested here is £13k + options. I doubt a similarly specced Clio would cost much more with the usual Renault discounts and the Clio is using the latest parts rather than last gen stuff.
really though if you're going to spend the better part of £14k and want the car to last you're much better off shopping for something else.
I don't think I'd ever buy a Renault badged car, but I've now had 2 Dacias.
Here in Spain the top of the range clio is over 35.000 euros 😫😫. PHEV version btw @@siraff4461
Matt is a type of guy to launch the cheapest car to buy out there, when the purpose of this car is just drive and be affordable.
It is not the UKs most affordable car as this is not the entry level one.
Three years ago I've bought a £2000 old Toyota car, drove it around the world, now I am here talking to you.
My neighbor drove a £200.000 Maserati 600HP for one month, hit an oak by the street, he's now 2m deep.
Good for him... flexing these days can kill ya :D
My neighbour drove a a £2000 old Toyota car, and he died of cancer of the anus.
It was a slow, painful and boring experience, similar to driving a old Toyota.
@@johncoops6897 Or even a new toyoda. They are all the same.
@@RichardStefanits Grow up. Toyota is the best car you can drive... Reliability can never be boring.

I don't car about all the professional stuff, i just watch him and his accent
@@samonade You don't *car* because they review cars.
He's been teasing the Sandero review on his instagram account for months now :D
Not so bad , cheers from Romania 🇹🇩
Romania fans here im romanian
İ ilke romania from turkey 🇹🇷🇷🇴🇷🇴
I like 🇹🇷 from romania
Now they make the Sandero in Marocco
Love how the car reviews are kinda becoming Mat's personal vlogs
I "downgraded" from a new focus ST to a used sandero. And I'm completely satisfied. Great car. Everything you need.
Bet you missed the performance.
Yeah. You get to a point where you wonder how much extra you're spending to sit in traffic in a faster car...
@@Rapscallion2009 Bravo! Eu am avut un Ford Focus 1.6, 115. Acum am Logan 1.0LPG și e super
THE LEGEND!!!!!
Hit like to get Clarkson May and Hammond to review this w Mat
I've had mine (Comfort trim) for two months now. Previously I had a 15 year old second hand car. Really glad I pushed the boat out to go new with Dacia rather than second hand again.
So this is why you were wearing the Dacia face mask in the Mercedes EQS video 😉
I screamed when I saw that carwow posted a sandero review
The last time Matt reviewed a Dacia: *Gets bombarded with hate comments*
Matt this whole video: :) Nice car!
Because last time he was expecting a Bentley at a Dacia price
GOOD NEWS!
GOOD NEWS! The Dacia Sandero has been reviewed on Carwow!
Anyways
Really cool. I just would like if they have reviewed the previous model too.
I gotta say it looks very very nice and it has so many options ,it wouldn’t surprise me if it gets popular
I just bought one for my dad 3 weeks ago and he absolutely loves it! I love it too to be honest.
And the range topping model does have automatic climate control. I know because my dad has it. It's also the automatic CVT version and the gearbox is rather smooth.
Can I just say, the covid vaccine bit felt exactly like the sorts of challenges they did on Top Gear
Great news!! The new Dacia Sendero is more comfortable then a Golf R 😀
Oh no! Anyway.....
Damn, this car has a quicker 0-60 than my civic 🤣
Is 90 hp your car? Because i think Mat used the 90 hp one.
@@Z3t487 it was 108hp 16 years ago 😂 probably only 12hp left 😂😂
@@MotorAlli I remember launching my manual 65 HP Corsa C changing gears at 4250 rpm with old friends inside and then asking what they thought were the hp of the car and they saying '120' and me feeling proud (ofc it was a secondary empty road).
