Dacia Lodgy reviews

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".
