i dont think alot of people here really appreciate this car but to be honest, this has done a phenomenal job in india where it is known as the renault duster. the reason alot of people from other countries dont appreciate this might have to do with their road conditions. in india the roads are horrible. absolutely horrible. and this champ takes in all the bad bits of the roads with no fuss at all. also i think because its done so good in India, the manufacturer has taken indian market seriously because our model lineup has got over 8-10 models! with 3 engine options and 2 transmissions! and in 2016 the company even introduced an amt. in any case, kudos to renault/dacia for making this little beast.
After reading a lot of the comments on this page it's clear people have their favourites and they have their dislikes. The reliability stats on these vehicles come from all over the world so can't all be false. I'm 35, I've been driving 15 years and I've owned all sorts of cars from a battered £75 Capri to a 4yr old Alfa 166 (ironically over 5 years the most reliable car I've ever owned!) So many car marques use cross brand part these days even buying a Nissan or a Toyota doesn't mean your engine isn't French, or it wasn't put together in Poland etc.... Don't hate on people for not wanting to spend a lot on motoring, most cars sit on the driveway for 22-23hrs a day just depreciating. I think for people who just want peace of mind, a nice long warranty and like their cars new, these Dacia cars seem great value.
I've had a 4X2 Duster for over a year now. It is very practical, very comfortable and very easy to drive. The exterior design is simple but the chunky, rugged looks do impress (as does the price tag!). Interior-wise, the UK-spec cars are much better than the 2011-2013 models sold in Europe, but keep an eye out for the new 2014 one, it is has been improved dramatically. I bought mine with the 1.6L 105bhp naturally aspirated petrol engine. If you plan on going on the highway, avoid this engine like the plague. At low speeds it packs a punch and eager to drive, but get it past 100km/h and it feels gutless. Mated with the 5-speed gearbox, it is noisy and very thirsty and I have to keep thrashing the engine to keep in speed. If you're going for one of the current models, go for the 1.5L 110bhp dCi turbocharged diesel or wait for the new model and go for their excellent new 1.2L 125bhp turbocharged petrol engine, both mated to a 6 speed. Aside from the poor engine choice, the car is functional and great. Highly recommend it with the dCi engine.
TheCamshafter last winter I saw Audi stacked on the side of the road in snow and the Duster was passing beside it without a problem. This 4x4 car beats VW Touareg when it comes to off road capabilities especially because of its ground clearance. The interior is cheap but for what it was built it does pretty well. If you would drive a lot in town or on a motorway I think an old Audi is preferable. If you live at country side or you want a car that goes everywhere and I really mean everywhere I will go with Duster and the rest of the money I would use them for travelling :)
***** I used to have an A4 (from new, 2003 model). Possible the most infuriating car I ever owned. It had a constant central locking problem, really poor interior design for oddments. Anything over a light bend and my phone would be flown under the drivers seat. The ride was 'firm' at best. It broke down as soon as it got damp and the turbo blew at 55,000 miles (just as I got rid of it). I really can not recommend Audi for reliability. I would say they are average at best. This is from a C250 owner with 125,000 miles on the clock and no problems! Oh and I have just bought a base model 4x4 Duster for winter. So far, it is amazingly capable. Can't wait for the first snow to take it to the mountains.
TheCamshafter Not according to this Autocar/What Car? report, a Duster will loose £4,000 over 3 years, that is 40% depreciation! Anything else is likely to loose that as soon as you sign your name on the document. www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/comparison-best-depreciation-busting-cars?page=1#comment-162830
Kudos for explaining that EuroNCAP rating thing. Countless other press reviews only give you the numbers, and I always felt this car deserves a bit more info on that.
Awesome review explaining the euroNCAP rating, and also the "full option" model look better whit alloy wheels, and some cosmetic enchancements.Great job Matt, also he is the only one who pronunces Dacia corectly :).
You are listening to "One direction", playing "battlefield" and dreaming about M3. Instead of commenting subjects that overwhelm you, you should get outside you`re mommy`s house and meet the reality, play football, basketball, and get a girlfriend, it`s a good advice. And when you will be old enough, you should visit Roamania, TV is not the reality.
Florin Iluca that would be, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, And yes countryes with a much harsher environment, so that means it will last through a couple of Russian winters.
Florin Iluca Yeti isn't a bad car, but the Duster is cheaper, more durable, simpler and easier to repair, so yes, let's say in Russia or African countries it will be a better option than Yeti. In Europe, obviously, it is a bit of a farmer's car, but I quite like it for being honest and for the money a great piece of car. Because not the cheap car is dissapointing, but an expensive and BAD car is.
+Abrar Mohammed It's a cracking little car - I took it off-road a few months ago and it was certainly very capable considering how much it costs. Here in the UK it's pretty much the cheapest new proper 4x4.
It amazes me how much the auto industry spoils us...I Imagine that if I was offered this car at the beginning of the 90´s, I would be glad, but nowadays I find myself looking at details such as "those wheels are made of steel" and "look at that wimpy thin steering wheel", "damn these hard shiny plastics" and such. But it seems like a good rugged basic car, and yet makes me feel like I am in the 90´s. Good review. I like the fact he doesn´t mock the car.
Dacia is a Romanian company (owned by Renault, but still Romanian). In Romania all roads are full of CRATERS, not pot-holes.... CRATERS. After I leave home, when I get to work my brains are already fried by all the bumps in the road. That's why the suspension is good, because it's built to roll on Romanian roads... :))
+DarthGhitza I'm in Sofia, and the road are equally terrible. I have a 4x4 in 'Duster' trim which is this base model with a radio and boot mat thrown in. It comes with ASR and independent suspension too. The ride is really good on these rough roads and it held its own off road in Bansko last winter, ½m snow and -20. Also copes well with +40. I just wish it had air con.
I also saw a Dacia Logan taxi, in Cluj, witch had 780.000 km on it :)) The guy said he never changed the engine or anything major, except for the clutch, witch is to be expected on a manual gearbox taxi.
my dad is driving for 35 years and the same thing... i thought in the beginning that anyone can drive but later i learned that anyone can learn to drive but actual driving is a different thing...
Here's some reasons: A monovolume or StationWagon don't have nearly the ground clearance that a SUV has nor do they have suspensions that deal so easily with potholes and bad roads(which Romania is full of). Also,a SUV looks MUCH better than a Monovolume or SW.A lot of people just want a bigger hatchback with more room and big ground clearance and good suspension for bad roads.And for those people a SUV like the Duster is just what they need.
For 5 years and 140000 km-s I didn`t have a single problem with my Dacia. A lot of cab drivers in my country drive Dacia because of the durability, some of them have driven more than 400000 km-s with their cars. It is a reliable car, believe me. This is a real "peoples-car" :)
The Duster is sold in Latin America under the Renault brand, and it is manufactured in Colombia, I watched a video about it, and even though the factory and its processes seem outdated and rudimentary, the car seems to be well built. I dont know about its reliability, but I must say that the only thing keeping me from buying it is that the 4WD version is not available in Automatic (I know driving stick, too, but I like comfort when I drive, specially under traffic jam conditions).
I just uploaded my personal review of the Renault Duster (Dacia Duster) here in Dubai. A different look at it due to the great price it comes here for.
Where do you film these clips? Dont worry i wont come lurk around, i dont even live in uk, just wondering, your usual filming place seems out of town, but then minutes later you seem to drive in (nearby?) city of some sort.
Some people my friend, just want a cheap basic car to get them to and from work. Not many people have so much money as you think. In that respect, the Duster is perfect :)
Higher ground clearance. My dad's '99 Avensis been in places and then through them most modern 4x4 wouldn't go, so with only 2WD can go pretty deep in sh!t. That would be nice feature just to get a bit higher off the ground to protect the car's under and less water in the cabin :) Really like the idea of Duster!
Put it this way, it's an interesting vehicle but no radio as standard, thats no different to a Land Rover Defender! and that starts at #23,095!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And has no Airbags!!!
Such a difference review from what we seen later in the future about duster with Matt of course! To relly understand, check the 2018 duster presented by Matt... wtf...
+SuperSayanFitness I hear spot rust happens when you wash the car right after you had it scorched by the sun. Because of the sudden temperature difference, the paint gets fractured and it develops tiny spots of rust.
He's reviewing the worst version. The best version is 17000 euros, alloy wheels, gps, enchanced roofrack, a 1.5 l Diesel engine developing around 100bhp
What's the latest on the rust problem with these cars? Last I saw people were saying that Dacia offered to fix the problem (in the UK at least) but many people were saying that Dacia went quiet when they contacted them about it, and I saw others saying that the "fix" didn't actually solve the problem.
Depends if you want a new car or not i.e. manufacturer warranty, pleasure of driving a untouched car, newer engines that may not be available on older versions e.g. the 1.5 dCi which is definitely better than older 1.9 or 2.0 diesels. Still... if comfort is the main criteria, indeed, an older but better speck-ed car sounds good.
In fairness with air con, in the UK there's really no need for it. It failed on my car a long time ago, and I COULD pay lots of money to have it fixed and then I COULD make sure I run it regularly to ensure it stays working but really with an English summer...it's more pleasant and cheaper to crack a window...
Now you buy this car full option with 5000-7000 euro. Not to much depreciation in 10 years. You can't say this about other cars from 2011 that you can buy now with 2000 euro from 15000 euro 10 years ago. You cheapest Duster on sale is 3500 Euro. So that is only 60% depreciation in 10 years.
I drive a late 2006 Focus, I did a valuation on it the other day and this morning WhatCar called me and asked me what car I was looking at afterwards. After I said I was interested in the Ford Kuga, he directed me to this car. Why on earth would I ever want to go from my car to a Duster?! Not only that, why would I consider this over a Kuga?
niksarass And they are not almost the same quality, nor do they offer the same spec. I have to tick every option for the Duster and it still has less on it than my current Focus.
Billy Johnson Check honestjohn Sandero review. Dacias are studied for harsh conditions markets (east, russia, Afrika) so they are robust. Your own little experience is not relevant compared with a reliability rating. My grandpa Clio had no problem when my uncle Escort broke distribution. Dacia is way more reliable than ford in reliability ratings.
Funny thing is that the 1.5 dCi is better then the second hand 2.0 diesel, while with the 9k new car you get also manufacturer warranty, whereas with the second hand, you get... fingers crossed. Eventually, it is all a matter of tastes though.
No, Kryptication isn't wrong, the entry level Dusters will depreciate like rocks because they have no equipment at all, but yeah a top of the range model can hold it's value well.
crazeemann1 BMW's are'nt as good as they were before, in BMW 335i you dont even have an oil stick to check your oil, so I'd rather have the "plastic peace of shit" as you call it, maintain it cheaply, than the BMW which will cost me a fortune just to check if I need to fill up the oil in my engine.
you're right, a BMW if breaks nothing can fix it whereas these budget cars can be repaired easy. If you want proper BMW with basic safety options you need to pay extra. I got a newer 1 series and the problems keep coming, piece of crap overpriced junk. Doesn't even have fog lights nor reverse sensors.
zak anthony If you really are the owner of BMW...I don't think you would say ''piece of crap'',because it really isn't.I've had 4 BMW's in the past,and last one was 2012 320d..it was simply amazing!!!!! Now I have Nissan Pathfinder,but that's different story..
When I want to get to my cabin, I don't need AWD. I just need a car with raised bottom. My current Skoda Octavia has gotten beaten up quite badly because there's no ground clearance.
Thumbs up Matt for explaining the star NCAP rating.
i dont think alot of people here really appreciate this car but to be honest, this has done a phenomenal job in india where it is known as the renault duster. the reason alot of people from other countries dont appreciate this might have to do with their road conditions. in india the roads are horrible. absolutely horrible. and this champ takes in all the bad bits of the roads with no fuss at all. also i think because its done so good in India, the manufacturer has taken indian market seriously because our model lineup has got over 8-10 models! with 3 engine options and 2 transmissions! and in 2016 the company even introduced an amt.

The roads in Britain are awful and the Duster is popular there too.

This would be the ultimate defender in car football, given that it's a sport to be played on a budget.
Kudos for explaining that EuroNCAP rating thing. Countless other press reviews only give you the numbers, and I always felt this car deserves a bit more info on that.
Been waiting for this review for a long time, did not disappoint
Awesome review explaining the euroNCAP rating, and also the "full option" model look better whit alloy wheels, and some cosmetic enchancements.Great job Matt, also he is the only one who pronunces Dacia corectly :).
The Duster is sweet!!!! Feels almost like the ghost of the Lada Niva ;)
For anyone interested in the safety ratings, look up ncap test. A few tests were marginal and drivers door opened in side impact.
So, with top range you get 5star eurocnap safety rating?
Now, when Duster reached 1 million sales worldwide in more than than 100 countries, any other stupid comment is useless.
Countries where the roads and drivers are as dangerous as the cars themselves! Awful cars

Finally a review for the Dacia duster thanks matt I already bought the car :-)
Love the use whiteboard markers

Yes, but most Dacias still roll in Romania.

I agree... it's a decent 4x4
in a country like India the duster is kind of luxury
I have bought new duster. Would girls like to drive with me?
@@Columbariusify car doesn't matter
@@oceanoadriatico what does?
Imagine if Top Gear review this car :s
Carbuyer do you have a video of the new Duster 2018?
I really like the looks of this car. Very rugged looking but it doesn't have that monster SUV styling. It looks more like a jacked up station wagon.
Great work and kudos to Romania.
I also saw a Dacia Logan taxi, in Cluj, witch had 780.000 km on it :)) The guy said he never changed the engine or anything major, except for the clutch, witch is to be expected on a manual gearbox taxi.
Is there any chance that you will be doing a review on the newer model? Dacia Duster prestige!
Come on Matt, don't tell us you went to Germany to test a duster offroad,,,! keep the good work up, i love your guys videos!
Great news!! The Dacia Sandero will be available in Denmark this year!
While living in the UK, I never felt the need for A/C, although I had it most of my cars.
Would you please review the all new range rove please I'd love if matt reviews it
my dad is driving for 35 years and the same thing... i thought in the beginning that anyone can drive but later i learned that anyone can learn to drive but actual driving is a different thing...
Came from carbuyer's website :D
I was apprehensive about 3 star euro ncap rating, but thanks to you, I m gonna buy a top spec Duster.
I own this car. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
Do you still have the car and do you have any advice on buying one thanks
Where do Carbuyer base their reviews?
So if I have it in the top spec kit level and I use the seatbelt I get a 5 star safety rating?
James may would have been proud of this review
He is from carwow
Here's some reasons: A monovolume or StationWagon don't have nearly the ground clearance that a SUV has nor do they have suspensions that deal so easily with potholes and bad roads(which Romania is full of).

Whats the refinement like , Is it worth the ESP if it is a First Car as not all old cars have it and their mostly the choice for new buyers ?
For 5 years and 140000 km-s I didn`t have a single problem with my Dacia. A lot of cab drivers in my country drive Dacia because of the durability, some of them have driven more than 400000 km-s with their cars. It is a reliable car, believe me. This is a real "peoples-car" :)
This looks like the king of the rental car lot.
Gotta love the duster.
The Duster is sold in Latin America under the Renault brand, and it is manufactured in Colombia, I watched a video about it, and even though the factory and its processes seem outdated and rudimentary, the car seems to be well built. I dont know about its reliability, but I must say that the only thing keeping me from buying it is that the 4WD version is not available in Automatic (I know driving stick, too, but I like comfort when I drive, specially under traffic jam conditions).
Im going to test drive a Dacia next week because it's very cheap and looks fun.
I love this car. I feel like I could go everywhere without any concern
I just uploaded my personal review of the Renault Duster (Dacia Duster) here in Dubai. A different look at it due to the great price it comes here for.
Where do you film these clips? Dont worry i wont come lurk around, i dont even live in uk, just wondering, your usual filming place seems out of town, but then minutes later you seem to drive in (nearby?) city of some sort.
now, I like this car !
Well here in India it's got quite a following the k9k diesel engine is just so famous as it's also used in Nissan cars here in India
My dealer said it was 10 grand and I haggled it down to 7 grand. Great car and a great bargain
Dacia have a strict no-haggling policy, I'm not inclined to believe that
Do these fall off a cliff depreciation wise correct?
The fuel door doesnt lock? Doesn't that mean that anyone can simply take your fuel at night?
they seem to be everywhere!!
Some people my friend, just want a cheap basic car to get them to and from work. Not many people have so much money as you think. In that respect, the Duster is perfect :)
make a review for dacia sandero stepway :)
Reminds me of the old Suzuki Samurai: excruciatingly chintzy but a very capable little off-road runabout.
Higher ground clearance. My dad's '99 Avensis been in places and then through them most modern 4x4 wouldn't go, so with only 2WD can go pretty deep in sh!t. That would be nice feature just to get a bit higher off the ground to protect the car's under and less water in the cabin :) Really like the idea of Duster!
Is this a hatchback, crossover or 4x4 SUV?
Put it this way, it's an interesting vehicle but no radio as standard, thats no different to a Land Rover Defender! and that starts at #23,095!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And has no Airbags!!!

Are all sisters 4 wheel drive?
Such a difference review from what we seen later in the future about duster with Matt of course! To relly understand, check the 2018 duster presented by Matt... wtf...
need cars like this in north america
I could consider buying the 4WD version and use it AS an offroader. If I wrecked it I Wouldnt even be sad
Daniel San go for it, we in croatia we have them in mountain rescue service :)
CroatianZ 370 Are they having some problems that I should be aware of?
I don't know much about that, but i'm seeing people who are not having much problems, so
nah i think it will be just normal stuff like oil change etc.

+SuperSayanFitness I hear spot rust happens when you wash the car right after you had it scorched by the sun. Because of the sudden temperature difference, the paint gets fractured and it develops tiny spots of rust.
what is the difference between dacia and renault?
He's reviewing the worst version. The best version is 17000 euros, alloy wheels, gps, enchanced roofrack, a 1.5 l Diesel engine developing around 100bhp
btw, not even their ads say their own name 100% correct :)
If that's the base model how come it's got electric windows. The bumpers are meant to be all black too or have they revised it.
Great value for money and if you search youtube it is surprsingly good off road..i mean for real !
This or a Suzuki Vitara? (strokes chin)
Hi! I think Dacia are a refreshing change. I like the cheap basic cars!
I like these basic base model cars.
Do the review of Dacia Logan
Its about time someone made affordable cars! Car prices are way to high
For what it is, it's rather impressive.
What's the latest on the rust problem with these cars? Last I saw people were saying that Dacia offered to fix the problem (in the UK at least) but many people were saying that Dacia went quiet when they contacted them about it, and I saw others saying that the "fix" didn't actually solve the problem.

Suzuki Kizashi review please.
Now you buy this car full option with 5000-7000 euro. Not to much depreciation in 10 years. You can't say this about other cars from 2011 that you can buy now with 2000 euro from 15000 euro 10 years ago. You cheapest Duster on sale is 3500 Euro. So that is only 60% depreciation in 10 years.
Can I get one in Canada?
that's still excellent value for money!
I drive a late 2006 Focus, I did a valuation on it the other day and this morning WhatCar called me and asked me what car I was looking at afterwards. After I said I was interested in the Ford Kuga, he directed me to this car.
Why on earth would I ever want to go from my car to a Duster?!
Not only that, why would I consider this over a Kuga?
***** if only you were right.
because almost same quality, but more reliable and much cheaper than ford
niksarass I've never had a problem with Fords though, can't say the same for Renault.
niksarass And they are not almost the same quality, nor do they offer the same spec. I have to tick every option for the Duster and it still has less on it than my current Focus.
Billy Johnson Check honestjohn Sandero review. Dacias are studied for harsh conditions markets (east, russia, Afrika) so they are robust. Your own little experience is not relevant compared with a reliability rating. My grandpa Clio had no problem when my uncle Escort broke distribution. Dacia is way more reliable than ford in reliability ratings.
Sorry, I couldn't find anything, If you've got a link, please do share. Cheers.
Funny thing is that the 1.5 dCi is better then the second hand 2.0 diesel, while with the 9k new car you get also manufacturer warranty, whereas with the second hand, you get... fingers crossed.
Eventually, it is all a matter of tastes though.
No, Kryptication isn't wrong, the entry level Dusters will depreciate like rocks because they have no equipment at all, but yeah a top of the range model can hold it's value well.
same as BMW- you must pay for basic option like alloy wheels, quality stereo or park sensors. Dacia is better value though.
The only thing is that BMW will last 100 years,and Dacia is plastic peace of shit

BMW's are'nt as good as they were before, in BMW 335i you dont even have an oil stick to check your oil, so I'd rather have the "plastic peace of shit" as you call it, maintain it cheaply, than the BMW which will cost me a fortune just to check if I need to fill up the oil in my engine.
I was talking about quality.The money is subjective thing..''fortune'' for you is one saturday night in restaurant for me..
you're right, a BMW if breaks nothing can fix it whereas these budget cars can be repaired easy. If you want proper BMW with basic safety options you need to pay extra. I got a newer 1 series and the problems keep coming, piece of crap overpriced junk. Doesn't even have fog lights nor reverse sensors.

If you really are the owner of BMW...I don't think you would say ''piece of crap'',because it really isn't.I've had 4 BMW's in the past,and last one was 2012 320d..it was simply amazing!!!!! Now I have Nissan Pathfinder,but that's different story..
Where's here?
When I want to get to my cabin, I don't need AWD. I just need a car with raised bottom. My current Skoda Octavia has gotten beaten up quite badly because there's no ground clearance.
Cant argue with the price
Great cars well done renault.
I don't know if price/value is best for high end 4x4 version. Alternatives are Suzuki SX4 or Kia
FINALLY THIS DUDE IS Bck i like em
