Worst after sales experience ever

I purchased my new Dacia Duster Automatic on 31 January 2018 and after breaking down three times within the first week and being back to dealership for repairs it was towed away and diagnosed as "gear box trouble". After numerous unsatisfactory phone calls with Dacia and RCI Finance, I then cancelled the contract on the car and the finance agreement with RCI . This was the start of an 11 month stress filled battle involving Consumer Advice and Financial Ombudsman before this case was settled in my favour. This was my second Dacia Duster and I also experienced similar unsatisfactory customer care with my first one - it took over 7 months to sort out a paintwork problem. I would not recommend Dacia/Renault as their after sales service is non-existent.

SUV practicality for superminis price. Reliability no issues. Strong and flexible Diesel engine works well in town and motorway. Laureate model has all the features I need. Comfortable, roomy front and rear. Large boot. Cruise control easy to use. Driving position comfortable and gives commanding view of the road. Bought car new 18 months ago and very pleased with it. Who cares about badge snobbery, this car was a wise purchase.

The Duster has been reliable, uses less petrol than predicted and is very comfortable on long journeys. The build quality is better than a lot of expensive cars previously owned.

I am very satisfied with the Dacia Duster. So far I have not driven it off-road or in snow, but I have no reason to have any doubts. It is extremely comfortable to drive.

Overall I am very pleased with the car which I bought new in April. It appears to be a strongly made and built vehicle which suits me as I drive a lot on very rural lanes in North Wales. A bit disappointed with the fuel economy, only getting about 40mpg as opposed to the advertised 50+ but I understand this is quite a common complaint with all cars.Mine is the top model, Laurate, and I was supprised there was no external temperature gauge. I also feel that the speedo / tacho visibility could be improved. They seem to be a bit dark and gloomy in their reccesses. Drivers right knee tends to rest against the window switch housing which is a bit sharp and uncomfotable. Insurance premiums seem acceptable and so far no reliability problems. I am quite impressed with the performance - acceleration for this type of vehicle seems very good.

Amazing value for money. Comfortable, roomy and well constructed. Averaged 36 MPG. Could be higher geared for road use.

amazing value for a 4x4. Good in traffic and off road. Not too big and intimidating to other road users.
