Faults:

Nothing significant yet. It's a new car so it's to be expected that nothing is wrong.

However... I noticed slight condensation in the rear lights, and the indicators for opened doors and belts are not working. Have to check the manual, but I guess this model should have it.

Also, manual says that if the door is opened, it will flash several times when you attempt to lock it by remote. I tested it, and even with two doors wide open, it flashes only regular two times and considers it closed... Hm.

General Comments:

As a previous owner of Alfa Romeo, I decided to go with my mind not heart this time. So far, I have not made a mistake. Just don't know why everyone is annoyed with Dacia's seats. I've used both, Logan and Sandero, and cannot find anything wrong with the seats. OK, not really sporty and not comfy as in Citroen e.g. but quite OK for the class (and price).

The car runs smooth and, coming from gas pedal thirsty Alfa, I like laziness of 8 valve engine. Easily cruises in 4th and corners in 3rd in town. Also I like overall height. Tall seating position and tall car itself give a sort of SUV feeling. Being 6.2" tall, I'd like some more steering wheel adjustment (or it's just a habit). This way, the wheel somehow sits quite low, almost between your legs, and I can't fully see instruments (top parts of instruments are covered with the steering wheel).

Space inside is good. Although it's not as spacious in the cabin as they advertise it (when I adjust the seat to suit me, hardly children can sit behind), the boot is great.

There's one more thing to get used to. Isolation of mud guard areas is not really superb, so everything that comes over your wheels - you'll hear it quite well. In peaceful ride, tire noise will be there all the time. As for the rest, so far it seems as well screwed together. Yes, it's cheap and plastic, but without that "chinese plastic" feeling that something will fall off any moment.

Basic, new transportation that will carry you from A to B and with no particular problems. When you put on one side what it offers and who stands behind Dacia and the price on the other side - I doubt there more bang for buck in the Europe currently. I got mine, with Ambiance Plus equipment (metallic colour, front electric windows, fog lights, A/C, remote locking) for 6.750 EUR with VAT included! I'm definitely not so rich to buy used cars of the same value any more.
