Dacia Duster reviews
Total 14 Dacia Duster owner reviews
Pros: Good for light off-roading. Relatively low fuel consumption, although more attention could be paid to aerodynamics. The music system a lot is good, at least you can't hear the plastic grab the edges. The interior warms up fairly quickly and holds the heat well. The turning angle is good. Turns on narrow roads or forest paths.
Cons: Aerodynamics weak. The car is rocking in the biggest wind. The power is low, but if you get used to it, it's still good. Clearance demands higher because it is easy to dig into the worse forest roads. That lambda or some wire underneath it in an extremely useless place, and no protector for it, can be pulled on a dry thistle, so up to 70km / h the car goes as it goes, the power disappears, the agony can get higher. Consumption is good only on straight dry roads or downhill. It becomes increasingly difficult to get it lower every day due to bad weather and frequent services. Rust. Details expensive, tend to ship long. The machine has a weak body, the bonnet can be folded with one finger. In terms of volume, my previous car 2007 Mazda6 was better. There, the novus table can be placed horizontally, the duster only diognolically, thus occupying an irrational space in the cabin. Had to be placed on the roof. The suspension is weak, but perhaps if you were only driving on a good asphalt road, it would be good. If you need to sleep (in the driver's chair) then I can say that it is the most uncomfortable machine of all. Even golf4 is more comfortable sleeping. Ill-considered front, because plastics should be constantly changed, the possible angle could have been different. The bonnet moves slightly when driving on the road, feeling the latch open. Nor can you see the path behind it, even when sitting in the highest sitting position. Could be compared. It has been repeatedly said in a car service that this car is not for the forest, but for the city. It is better to buy an x5 then because the parts are also very expensive. In the car service says "if you can buy a normal SUV, you better do it" - this car is definitely not! One could write something else, but long texts like most people don't like to read :) P.S. I advised a friend not to buy this car - he bought it - I said that the mistake - he got the pin right - it took about half a year, now he says I don't buy a duster - he got acquainted with the car and broke it. Don't buy, please don't take my mistakes for yourself. The older versions are even worse than the latest ones.
