    I have brought one recently and I am over the moon with it. For the money nothing comes near it and if you can get over badge snobbery because let's be truthful nobody really gives a flying fig what you drive, it's makes for great around workhorse which is comfortable and has enough performance and mine returns 43 mpg every week with city and motorway driving.

    Have had a Journey model since March 2023 and can’t believe what good value it was and what extras you get on it compared to my bmw 1 series - 360 cameras, folding wing mirrors, heated seats, apple car play, free updates on sat nav etc. We get around 44 mpg, have a 3 year warranty on it , got 2 free annual services with deal we got and have had 1 issue with it when a leak in the coolant system occurred. All in all though it’s a great car , cost circa £19000 and glad we bought it .

    I just bought a duster techroad in fusion red, 2019 with 18,000 miles for £12700, seller robbed themselves!!! What's better is, I bought it to replace a Tesla 😂 zero regrets, far more comfortable, practical, spacious, unassuming, doesn't attract hate, has room for a full size spare wheel!! Not to mention being the techroad it has a bit more interesting interior highlights than the rest of them

    Wish Dacia would have bi-fuel automatic models. I like the idea of LPG even though the list of retailers selling it is shrinking rapidly but i do not want to go back to a manual transmission. I do like Dacia's honestly with LPG, on their website they admit the MPG takes a 25% hit using LPG over petrol while other sites claim it is only 15-20% loss. Well done Dacia.

      Apparently there's differences with the Extreme and Extreme SE, between the 2022 and 2023 versions, this was the time they replaced the prestige with the journey, and replaced the comfort with the expression

    I have a mk1 Citroen Berlingo 1.6 petrol. It is a superb utilitarian vehicle. It is 17 yrs old drives like new, quiet, comfortable, ride like an e class 38mpg. Borrowed by family and friends to move stuff. When and if my car is scrap, this is exactly what I will be looking for. I hired one on Spain a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised. The car buying public are changing to needing useable economical transport not German penis extensions. If they still made mk 1 berlingos I would buy tomorrow. I still think they could design a much better looking body.

    I own a late 2019 1.3 turbo petrol mid-range model and I find the road holding good on country lanes, fuel economy is good and there is more than enough kit to keep you not wanting more. All this fuss about hard scratchy plastics - so what! They're just easy, wipe clean! The Duster isn't a cheap car - other cars are just over expensive.

      Hey Lilly, thank you for your comment. Tish here. Over the years NCAP testing has got stricter and stricter and extremely expensive. Many of the cars not performing so well now, would have flown through a few years ago. We are confident that the Dacia Duster is a safe car however, we are confident that the latest model due this year will come with more safety features which will increase the score.
