@Too Legit To Quit You are so stuck in your stupidity that you have no idea about taste. The reason why people are buying is because of value for money in the first place and finding out that they are so reliable when they have one the friends are told and they buy. There are still idiots about that will say it can't be any good at that price and will miss a bargain or 2. I am on my 2nd Dacia in 12 years and neither car has missed a beat or fell down in quality of build, I have had 3 warranty issues none serious being a manufacturing fault in that a retaining clip was broken and the item replaced, a Dacia Media fault that was an LG problem and replaced and an ignition key that needed to be changed, not sure what the fault was but they put new key parts onto the remote fobs and no problem since 4 years ago. My friend who used to sell Jaguars is on his 4th Duster due to upgrading and recons the best car he has ever owned and at 77 and a former Vauxhall dealership garage owner that is praise enough so stick your bigoted post where the sun doesn't .
@Too Legit To Quit I don't think you have read any of the other posts, you are the only one saying it is crap all the others have had great experiences. All the others don't want to waste money on cars that are to expensive for what they are, money in the our bank is better than money in the BMW bank
@Too Legit To Quit I've owned Mercedes, Audi, VW, Skoda, Peugeot, Datsun as well as other brands and the Dacia is by far the best value for money pound for pound and the most reliable except for perhaps the Datsun Sunny. So with that experience I claim it is a good car.
Great car Justin and getting great reviews in the UK now that it's on the new Clio platform, which as nice as that car is, it does make you wonder why anyone would spend the extra.
I own a 2009 Dacia Logan 4 door sedan, not the MCV station wagon, and it has been a great car! I am sure the quality in 2009 wasn’t as good as it is now, but so far I have not had any issues with mine. Mine has the 1.4 Liter, 75 hp engine, and it is not quick at all. A bit on the thirsty side too. Best fuel economy was 5.7 Liters per 100 km. I hope you will be able to enjoy many trouble-free years with yours!
The only things that were bad with the old sanderos were the very cheap interiors ... Other than that ... They were quite reliable ... And most importantly, obscenley cheap to repair .... The prices for parts on these cars are ridiculously low An it looks like they fixed the interior, it looks way cooler and quite practical ... But I'd still love to see that Dacia reliability I'm pretty sure they'll deliver on that too but I'd love to see what and when it breaks (video idea maybe ?)
@@CoopGaming my 8 years old Lodgy is looking like a 2 years old inside and and that is because I don't look after it that well, once a month a complete clean at the car shop 25 euros that's me and the supplied floor mats show little signs of wear even on the drivers side.Paintwork is perfect with no fade, I have no complaints and over 60 mpg on a long run at no more than the legal speed.
Mi madre también es propietaria de un Dacia Logan del año 2009. Motor diésel tiene 72 años y es el coche de todos los que ha tenido con el que más contenta ha estado de largo.
My mother bought a basic early Sandero in the UK for £5995 on the road. Had it 5 years and sold it for £2750. Just over £3k depreciation in 5 years, was a horrible basic car but it was reliable and was just a car for her to get from A to B. Crazy good value I guess!
Oh he 1.6 MPI petrol was quite a good engine, it's a pity in my opinion that they don't ship it anymore, cheap interior ... Yes definitely, but I drove from Chisinau to Botoșani 350km on one hell of a blizzard, like 25-30 cm of snow on uncleaned roads around the border ... It just plowed through it ... Open diff and 4 season tires ... It's a cockroach ... It's hard to do something to hurt it ... And when you do if the repair is more than 50euro ... You either crashed it or they are ripping you off :))))
The last 3 cars that I bought were new ones. Had a Skoda Octavia bought it for 18.000 with the 1.8 tsi motor. Was the crapiest car I have ever owned. Was eating up 3 to 4 liters of oil from change to change, warranty issues, every 3 months I had to change a bulb light. I said no more "VAG reliability". Bought a Japanese car Honda civic Tourer 1.8 vtec natural aspirated engine. Great car. No oil consumption, huge trunk. All around a very good car. Brake pads would ware off maybe to soon, back shock absorbers were quite expensive, and to change to front wheel planetary which by the way was to soon in my opinium at 80000 km. That was a rip off. That was the moment when I decided to sell the car. I was pleased with Honda and I wanted to buy a new one Suv this time to go skiing in the winter. But the budget was to high. So I bought a Duster. I love it so far.
Great video. We ordered our comfort TCe90 version a few weeks back and it should.be delivered (UK) mid April. We were like you,looking to spend same sort of money and looked at the secondhand market,but this car is so well spec'd for the price that it made sense to buy new and have the piece of mind that the warranty brings. People will think we are mad mind,7 months ago we purchased a brand new Mercedes AMG A45s,which is about as expensive as you can get for a car in it's class,and now our new to be daily is the cheapest new car in it's class,so literally one end of the scale to the other 😄 Did you get any free servicing with yours? We got 3 years free for pre ordering before the end of January. Got a question for you that even the dealer can't answer,probably because they've not had any in yet. Do you happen to know/it say in the handbook what the weight limit is for the roof/roof bars? We want to put our ebikes on top if possible,but they are quite heavy.
anything last 15 years is more reliable than BMW. Even French stuff. We have bmw mini in family, that thing just looks how it will bend you over when you not watching it 😄
@@kevinparr4823 haha... nah Kuka robot is assembly 😄. It's just poor German Engineering. Ford makes engines in UK for example, had few Fords in family over years, if anything engines are bulletproof...(except RS with Cosworth head) ...but Ford at least fix it in their cost. Did BMW (Mini especially) fix oil guzzling in many of their cars? nope...
You are your "Another video coming soon".... i won't hold my breath. This is why I own a Skoda, pretty much all the same parts as every other VW car for a lot less money. Don't pay more just for some badge kudos.
in romania, the dacia configurator has a comfort pack (the most expensive option pack at 450 euros) which includes: - electronic hand brake - key card - big centre armrest with storage - height adjustable driver seat - keyless fuel cap can you buy these separately in spain? because i didn't see a key hole on the petrol plastic cap, but you have the small armrest. i specced mine with the aforementioned comfort pack which comes with the big arm rest and because i'm short 168cm i need to pull my seat forward to reach the pedals, thus my elbow sits in front of the armrest instead of on top of it...and the armrest cannot slide forward like those in volkswagens for example. at the same time, opting for the smaller armrest would have meant not getting any of those options included in the comfort pack.
I was looking forward to exchanging my Sandero to the new model Stepway the only problem what's putting me off is that the new top end models are fitted with Keyless entry. It seems that it is only fitted to UK models .It would be good to know if fitted in other countries. As the rate of keyless entry car thefts is rising here in the UK . I contacted Dacia to see if it could be switched off but all they have come up with is to offer me a free Faraday bag. So if you buy a new model make sure you get your free bag.
Very Good to see you doing a video...been a while...I'm late to the game on this one...Good to see you and hope you and your family are doing well 👍🙏 Congrats on the new car Justin....I like seeing the cars that we don't get here in the USA....very nice, Enjoy👍
Ive owned a property in Spain for several years, but ive not bought a car yet. You're right in terms of secondhand cars, they are stupidly high money and more so, because I need an auto, which are rarer in Spain than UK and command even higher prices. Ive previously got quotes for a Stepway via Carwow Spain and for the sake of literally a few grand more than a 5-10 year old used car, I can buy new, with all the peace of mind that comes with it. No brainer.
We bought a new Stepway in 2018, and it's been brilliant. A solid little motor. My local independent garage gives them a big thumbs up, that's good enough for me. A friend has had one for 5 years, and no problems at all. Long journeys of 200 miles are a breeze. On the motorway, overtaking from 60mph, the acceleration is surprising in 5th gear. Let the badge snobs pay their 60 plus grand for a car. Money down the drain, and more unreliable. Don't forget the three year 60,000 warranty.
I've just bought a new dacia sandero because 2nd hand cars in my area of Spain (caceres) are so expensive., average 125,000 KLM 8yrs old around 10,000 / 12,000 € no contest, go video....
Bought a Duster 2 years ago , wife would like a lower to get into car so have been thinking about a Stepway , but I really like the Duster , mine has the 1.3Tce engine so would have to come down a bit on the power , great review , is that Catalonia you live in , looks very nice .
You know what is funny... Everywhere in the world people seem to have good opinions about Dacia, with only one exception: Romania, the country which they are built in.........
Good choice. It is about having more sense than money. It’s about anti consumerism, anti luxury and self-confidence. Contrary to popular belief, Dacia's are pretty reliable. In fact, they are very reliable. Dacia is in third place for dependability, with a score of 96.17 out of 100. This was higher than Toyota and Honda.
Got mine last month. Good all round, but the worst gear box in any car I’ve driven in 34 years of driving. It’s so clunky. A shame because the steering is great.
Nice review, but you should get a better microphone next time - at times it's hard to hear what you're saying because of that background noise. Then again - maybe you wanted everyone to know that the car is rather noisy?
Very good, informative review. I want one with top spec but there are major supply issues in Turkey, so I may have to wait or even end up with a Duster.
Good buy. Sell the other cars as they seem to have made you boring. Get a gr yaris and start enjoying driving again. Dacia for all needs and gr yaris for fun.
The only thing I know about the Dacia's, is that James may harps on about them.. Otherwise I know nothing. It's time to learn 😁 👍 Not as cute or adorable as the Suzuki Jimny, but I'm sure it's 100 times more practicable.. Hope the year has been going well so far mate..
A car for regular people, doing groceries, taking kids to footbal. I'm really tired of thirty-thousands pounds of cars used for the same things. Then don't even start me on the EV ripoffs. Dacia all the way. If Brexit will prevent Britain to further import this car, Johnson -the-crook will have to answer some questions.
Dacia is an all-around solution for most needs you might have, or simply put, it's a car that can be abused...the engine is very reliable, don't worry about that, and it's cheap to mantain and service. I wouldn't recommend the basic or the fully equipped versions, but the ones in the middle, you get the best bang for the buck in that region.
Hi mate! All fine here thanks. Been meaning to do some but life got very busy. I was planning to do one this weekend...if the weather is ok. Hope all is well with you too
That's what I like about you - so down to earth! With Ferrari, Lamborghini and M4 in the garage you can still appreciate the simplicity of Dacia. Most snobs out there would have bought for that money second hand X5 just to suit the other cars in the garage and would have been paying 3-4 times the money for maintenance and fuel.
@@FezzaYTThanks for the replay and Happy New Year too! Wish you all the best. I've considered the Dacia myself, but since I can afford to own only one car I choose Lexus IS, so its sporty, luxury and kind of practical all at once.
Hey! Still alive. Just super busy. Trying to record a new video this week but it's tough to get back into it! Hope you're well and had a good Christmas :)
Bought a new Sandero Stepway in November 2020. Just returned it to the Dealer found the vehicle not for me. It had done only 3500 miles but gave it a good crack of the whip. Gone back to Ford although my Son is very happy with his Sandero.
Just wanted to ask a question.....It seemed in the video (to me anyway.!!) That the car seemed to bounce a lot as you were driving and you didn't seem to be flooring it.!!
I think its day-see'er, it used to be here in the UK in the 80s then they went all posh recently with Dach'er. Ive got a first generation 1.5l diesel 3 cylinder sandero on a 2013 plate and it does 87 mpg on a run , it has 90 BHP which is like that of a 90s estate car on a very light weight platform 1200 Kg. it goes like a rocket, brilliant little car , tyres last ages and it tows very well to.
It looks really good. And it’s a great price. But it sounds noisy (road noise). And yes I’m sure it’s not very economical as the engine is so small you’re bound to be pushing and thus usually more fuel. If it was a 4 cylinder 1.4 for example you wouldn’t have to push the engine as much and then in return use less fuel
Hi mate. Just been very busy, struggling to find the time to record videos. Am hoping tondo one this weekend if that weather is good. Thanks for checking in. Hope you're well.
@@FezzaYT Thanks for the reply. Remember a life that is left with no time to be enjoyed is no life at all. 49%/51% work to fun ratio, is the bare minimum. I was at the Ferrari dealer in Marbella last week where you used to go to and almost bought a car there.. finally it was not the car with the options or in the condition I was looking for, but it a was reminder of how much fun it used to be to watch your 360 videos. Go drive your F430 and start sharing it here again :)
I've ordered one and will collect it in two weeks. I couldn't get a petrol one because of the computer chip shortage, but settled for an lpg, although we don't have many stations offering it in the UK. I'm a bit cautious about using the lpg pump for the first time, but hopefully it won't be too complicated. I don't know what the adaptor supplied with the car is for though!
Hola Justin, tengo desde hace 3 años un 360 y muy contento con él. Pero como ya sabes,.....lo más lógico es un upgrade en algún momento. Vivo en Madrid pero voy a vivir por unos 2 meses en Malaga a partir de Mayo. ¿Como puedo contactarte?
Surprisingly good. Nice leather steering wheel and most materials feel good apart from some of the hard plastics, which tend to be the things you don't touch so much
Hi mate! Sorry, only just seen your reply. I didn't get a notification. All well here thanks, just very busy. I'm trying to get around to do an update video but it's so hard to get back into it. I've got all the gear ready...I just need to go and do it! Anyway, hope all is well with you and the family :)
@@FezzaYT Nice to hear you're well, I just thought of this channel. Always liked watching your videos and probably have been a great influence why I decided to settle in Spain. Thanks.
I've seen nothing but good reviews of the new Sandero. I think you've made an excellent decision.
Well.for 10 000e you can get 2 year old toyota with better specs and not so loud inside cabin.not for me.cheap ans Chinese knock offs.low quality

Ironically I’ve gone from a m140i to a stepway and I have no regrets at all. Especially as everyone is not trying to race it all the time…

Dacia is an all-around solution for most needs you might have, or simply put, it's a car that can be abused...the engine is very reliable, don't worry about that, and it's cheap to mantain and service. I wouldn't recommend the basic or the fully equipped versions, but the ones in the middle, you get the best bang for the buck in that region.
#Dacia❤️
The third pronunciation is the perfect one. Right there on the money.
"All my cars have 2 doors"... SHoulda kept the RS hahahaha. :)
Pronouncing Dacia varies. The ‘official’ way is this- Da-ch-ee-a
Depends what country you live in. The Polish way is Dat-chee-a.
@@grahamjohnson4702 SepiaStuff got it right. I'm Romanian.
@@dncviorel I used to work with Romanians and that is what they told me.
Nice little runner..When’s the next F430 update?
Bring back the Focus RS Fezza.
Getting mine in 4 weeks, i'm very exited.
here in the netherland you eill pay 24000 euro for the full option one in spain you save 9.000 euro damn crazy
Order one in Spain and drive it home.
Great value car. There are a few problems though - mainly the moose test. Search for km77 test of the previous gen.
The previous gen was quite an old Renault platform. This new one is much better should be good for avoiding mooses 😊
Thanks for the review!
you pronounce it Datchia.
What happened to you? You no longer post videos…hopefully you are doing well
Hi mate! All fine here thanks. Been meaning to do some but life got very busy. I was planning to do one this weekend...if the weather is ok. Hope all is well with you too
That's what I like about you - so down to earth! With Ferrari, Lamborghini and M4 in the garage you can still appreciate the simplicity of Dacia. Most snobs out there would have bought for that money second hand X5 just to suit the other cars in the garage and would have been paying 3-4 times the money for maintenance and fuel.
Thanks mate. The Dacia is such a great car. Absolutely love it and will be doing some videos with it too. Happy New Year 😁
@@FezzaYTThanks for the replay and Happy New Year too! Wish you all the best. I've considered the Dacia myself, but since I can afford to own only one car I choose Lexus IS, so its sporty, luxury and kind of practical all at once.
holy crap lad are you still alive, here happy Christmas.👍
Hey! Still alive. Just super busy. Trying to record a new video this week but it's tough to get back into it! Hope you're well and had a good Christmas :)
This is the way
Great video! I'm looking for one of these... Just a question, what do you think about the drum brakes on front wheels? Thank you.
Mine has disc brakes at the front and drums at the back. Didn't know any had drums on the front. Do they?
@@FezzaYT Not that I know of
They don't have drum brakes on the front.
What's Ur opinion guys ,what's best all around model Sandero/stepaway/duster? Or maybe Kia xceed or Stonic? Apreciate your opinion
Bought a new Sandero Stepway in November 2020.
Just returned it to the Dealer found the vehicle not for me.
It had done only 3500 miles but gave it a good crack of the whip.
Gone back to Ford although my Son is very happy with his Sandero.
Just wanted to ask a question.....It seemed in the video (to me anyway.!!) That the car seemed to bounce a lot as you were driving and you didn't seem to be flooring it.!!
I think its day-see'er, it used to be here in the UK in the 80s then they went all posh recently with Dach'er. Ive got a first generation 1.5l diesel 3 cylinder sandero on a 2013 plate and it does 87 mpg on a run , it has 90 BHP which is like that of a 90s estate car on a very light weight platform 1200 Kg. it goes like a rocket, brilliant little car , tyres last ages and it tows very well to.
It looks really good. And it’s a great price. But it sounds noisy (road noise). And yes I’m sure it’s not very economical as the engine is so small you’re bound to be pushing and thus usually more fuel. If it was a 4 cylinder 1.4 for example you wouldn’t have to push the engine as much and then in return use less fuel
It looks like a Subaru. Renault has a very bad reputation in the US. I don't think they've been sold here since the early 90's.
Not a gripe, just saying, it's pronounced "Dachia" with a ch sound like in china
What happened to you, your cars and your videos???😳😳😳
Hi mate. Just been very busy, struggling to find the time to record videos. Am hoping tondo one this weekend if that weather is good. Thanks for checking in. Hope you're well.
@@FezzaYT Thanks for the reply. Remember a life that is left with no time to be enjoyed is no life at all. 49%/51% work to fun ratio, is the bare minimum. I was at the Ferrari dealer in Marbella last week where you used to go to and almost bought a car there.. finally it was not the car with the options or in the condition I was looking for, but it a was reminder of how much fun it used to be to watch your 360 videos. Go drive your F430 and start sharing it here again :)
@@yuidfbse Thanks mate. Yes need to balance my time much better. I've just uploaded a new short video of another car that I've picked up....
I would buy a Sandero if I get also a doggy with it :) .
Time for a new video Fezza, it's been 8 months!
I've ordered one and will collect it in two weeks. I couldn't get a petrol one because of the computer chip shortage, but settled for an lpg, although we don't have many stations offering it in the UK. I'm a bit cautious about using the lpg pump for the first time, but hopefully it won't be too complicated. I don't know what the adaptor supplied with the car is for though!
In the uk we use a different connector to the Europeans so it’s an adapter for the lpg fuel filler
Sssshhhh Dont let on about these cars. the price will go up!
miss those rs track day, engine swap videos
Whats that rubbing sound the mic is picking up ?
Sounds like its not the quietest car in the world.
Going for James's spot on Top Gear? He would be proud.
It's about
time for a new video! :D
nice video. we want one like that@Fezza😍
Why is the colour not BLUE?
Please use the correct pronunciation.
Where are you
Just posted a (brief) new video :)
Justin, where are you mate??
For the money you spent on that Sandero, you could have bought a used Audi A6 or Mercedes E Class estate.
For that money it would be a very used one. Think I'd rather have a fresh new car with a long warranty
Wonderful to see and hear from you again Justin but my god what’s happened to the old petrol head 🚒👍
Lol! Keep watching....next video will balance this one out nicely 😁
Hola Justin, tengo desde hace 3 años un 360 y muy contento con él. Pero como ya sabes,.....lo más lógico es un upgrade en algún momento. Vivo en Madrid pero voy a vivir por unos 2 meses en Malaga a partir de Mayo. ¿Como puedo contactarte?
Hola Marco! Puedes mandarme un correo: justinmanilva@gmail.com. Saludos!
Are the materials inside good quality?
Surprisingly good. Nice leather steering wheel and most materials feel good apart from some of the hard plastics, which tend to be the things you don't touch so much
Weeeeee vamos a hacer una carrera tu con ese y yo con el bmw 😂
11l/100km lpg consumption is too much... how much it will be at 130-140km/h cruising at highway in 6. speed?
That is never correct where did you see that?
@@grahamjohnson4702 so you're using it, tell me yours numbers
@@Byk37 5. 8 liter/ 100 kilometer
Hey Mate.. Hope Xmas & the New Year went well for yourself & the family.. Is the Dandero still in the Garage?? Does the M5 still drive lol
Hi mate! Sorry, only just seen your reply. I didn't get a notification. All well here thanks, just very busy. I'm trying to get around to do an update video but it's so hard to get back into it. I've got all the gear ready...I just need to go and do it! Anyway, hope all is well with you and the family :)
@@FezzaYT Cheers Justin.. Good to hear you are all well :)
@@FezzaYT Nice to hear you're well, I just thought of this channel. Always liked watching your videos and probably have been a great influence why I decided to settle in Spain. Thanks.
What’s happened to the music soundtracks? They were great ATC etc
Don't think I've added any music to my videos for ages now!
@@FezzaYT I know it’s a shame as it was really good!
Corect! Dacia!
Does the Stepway have adjustable height on front driver and passenger seats ?
Just the driver's seat
@@FezzaYT Thanks,need a high driving position (back issues),so something like Renault Captur.I guess Stepway is not that highest seat position?
@@TheMisterB2u I think they are quite similar....but you'd really need to try them out and compare
@@TheMisterB2u or just change the seat ... you can fit almost anything in there
