Dacia Duster 2017 reviews

Pros: Good handling in snow and mud. More stable in fast trotting on tarmac and quieter than the previous generation Duster. Warms up quickly in winter, despite being a diesel. In poor road conditions, the security of selectable all-wheel drive. Relatively adequate purchase price.

Cons: The hard interior trim is visually acceptable, but on a gravel road, the cutter in the depth of the front panel was starting to sting for a brand new car. During the warranty service, nobody at the garage took the trouble to fix the fault.

Pros: New car with a 5-year warranty. Good driveability. Get from A to B without hassle, but without enjoying the journey. Small size, easy to park.

Cons: At 40k km, the steering fingers were replaced. When shifting gears often could not be put into reverse.
Poor overtaking acceleration.

Pros: Brisk and great for up to 5th speed, 8l gas consumption, great off road, good price

Cons: Cheap finish in the salon starts to rattle after 4k km, on the highway acceleration is close to 0, strong side wind on the highway swinging it

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.

Pros: Far better than my previous car SUZUKI SX4 and VW GOLF5 and less costly. Interior noise is not higher than previous my cars. Fuel consumption is 6l with trailer 70% of time! Excellent on bad roads!

Cons: The internal interior trim could be better!

Pros: Cheap new, good passability

Cons: Noisy engine, little space, 8 litres of fuel in winter, cold in winter due to poor heating and hot in summer due to poor air conditioning.

Pros: The car for all Latvian roads and weather conditions
