Pros: Strict, collected course. Gearbox switches well. Easy ride, ok for 110 hp, easy parking. Winter / summer starts without problems, air conditioner works ok, seat heating ok. The third row is comfortable for an adult with 175 cm, there is a phone charger and a bottle holder, large "pockets" for holding various things. The third row has openable windows. Tuning accessories are available, but the choice is not very large. Parts are not very expensive, easily accessible. A new 7-seater car for that price? There is no alternative. Kids also like it.
Cons: There is practically no sound insulation, you can hear everything that is happening outside. The interior is quite austere. The third row leaves no space for the boot. It is not easy to get into the third line. Absolutely thoughtless upholstery, especially for the third row. The third row has no tables. Always dirty thresholds. An extra rubber hood must be placed in the engine compartment, otherwise the engine will become dirty very quickly. It is mandatory to install mud guards, otherwise the sides are always dirty. Bottle holders on the front too shallow and uncomfortable. The car value is falling rapidly and there is not much demand in the secondary market. Relatively expensive maintenance at the dealer. Would not recommend buying the basic version and would not recommend to people with "requirements".

Pros: The price. Facelift. A new, modern steering wheel. Salon is easy to clean and maintain. If not overloaded easily steerable as a normal sedanm. Dynamics is good enough, until 150 zccelerates without much effort (if not overloaded). At winter warming up good, cools well in summer. Light is now both in luggage compartment, in both line. There are tables in second row. Seats are comfortable enough. If you remove third row, then it has a big boot.
Cons: Would not call it minivan, but rather microvan with seven seats there is almost no trunk. So, you should add roof box. The third row of chairs is not divided, unable to stretch into floor, and even in a squalid way takes up valuable space. Interior flicks, but so far does not rattle. Exterior noises are very audible. Windscreen wipers without fine speed adjustment. Facelift: all Dacia models received a new front line of optics, except for Lodgy / Dokker. The actual consumption is 5,3-5,8.

Pros: Very large luggage compartment (if removed or put down third row of seats). A practical car. Economic exploitation. High sitting position, good transparency, there are no large blind zones. Excellent price / benefit ratio.
Cons: Poor sound insulation. Poor cabin ventilation / heating equipment - in winter hard to keep warm car. Narrow - sense neighbours shoulder. Up to 4 people dynamics is ok, if not even most powerful engine than might be too slow. Plastic interior sometimes give rise to rattle. In luggage compartment, there is no light.
