2021 Dacia Sandero | Full POV Review, Tour & Test Drive | Bargain of the Year?

[@DeckOfCars]

Leave a comment with what you think of the all new Sandero! Or if you have any questions, ask away. It's also worth noting that Some countries get a more basic entry level 'Access' spec of the Sandero. That isn't sold in Ireland. Only this 'Essential' spec, along with 'Comfort'.

[@TanCoyer]

orderd mine today, automatic comfort version. was a lovely drive, gear changes were smooth, and car was nippy enough. ( 90hp turbo) its a lovely looking car , seats were very comfy, ( the back too) just gotta wait now till september

[@DeckOfCars]

Best of luck!👍 I Was very impressed with the comfort of the seats, especially at this price!

[@funnyfiveminutes]

How's the car going? Is the CVT auto economical?

[@TanCoyer]

@@funnyfiveminutes two months in im loving the car, done about 450 miles, only put fuel in twice so far, once was coz of the shortage, prob used just under a full tank so far, maybe 3 quaters so defo happy with it, cvt been great, vans manual so having an auto car is luxury come weekends. sat nav is excellent too.

[@funnyfiveminutes]

@@TanCoyer Good to hear. Thanks for the very swift response.

[@ridehead8771]

Hi what sort of mpg you're getting mixed journeys?

[@Sir-Prizse]

Thanks, finally a video that shows the basic 65 hp non turbo engine and the purist "essential" trim. I have decided to finally do my driving license. I never thought I would consider a brand new car, but the Sandero makes a really good impression. I really like the design, simple and sporty... I would also opt for the Essential trim and the only thing I add would be the 90/101 hp turbo petrol engine with LPG. Air conditioning always makes me ill and Google Maps is the best navigation system anyway.

How much did it cost with the insurance and everything

[@indang3r610]

A stepway bi fuel 100hp, comfort trim, paint chosen, alloy wheels, winter packet for heated seats and a hook to pull my trailer costs 15k in Germany

[@n0clu318]

newer cars supply more safety and technologically advanced features making it not only safer for you to drive, but decrease the risk of crashing and insurance claims! This semi new sandero is a great first buyers choice especially access level starting at 8 grand, affordable!

[@darrencox1749]

Good down to earth vid. Can you tell me if the steering wheel has reach & rake adjustment on that particular model?

[@DeckOfCars]

Thanks for watching Darren. Yes this model had both reach and rake adjustment.

[@darrencox1749]

@@DeckOfCars thank you for clarification.

[@DeckOfCars]

No problem 👍

[@Neil2022]

Ordered the stepway prestige Bi fuel. They are currently going above new RRP used!

[@DeckOfCars]

Nice choice 👍

[@cyclist3969]

Thank you for a objective review of an affordable car, a car which meets a need, performs an honest job-of-work, for a modest outlay. The fullsize spare wheel is an option, the cost of the option of rim / tyre / car jack is a wise buy, little more than the cost of an retail new tyre alone. How is the gearchange action? The precious Sandero had a very vague feel, is that 1st or 3rd I have engaged vagueness ? Please measure and write up interior noise in db at speed on the motorway, measure using a sound meter App on your mobile phone. I would prefer halogen bulbs over Led, you can replace a blown halogen headlight bulb for loose change in your pocket, for LED headlights, you will pay with a credit card!

[@pontus7802]

Silver is a nice color !

[@riverman83]

In Sweden you cant even get the 65 hp engine. The car seller refused to sell them :D

[@peteg8920]

Thanks for an informative review. What is the seating position like ? My wife and I are getting on and we would prefer not climb down into the car as we do in our old 2003 Volvo.

[@DeckOfCars]

Thanks for watching 👍. The seating position comfortable, and pretty typical for cars in this class(Fiesta, Polo). If it's extra height you want, then the Stepway version might be worth a look.

[@antonyhamilton6429]

Do you think this sce 65bhp engine would cope if you were to carry passengers a lot of the time? My current car (Kia Picanto) has a similar engine, but its a much smaller car, so I'm quite sure that it'd be worth spending more for the 90bhp engine. But this is the spec that I would be most likely to go with, so thank you for the video! It's helped a lot 😁

[@DeckOfCars]

Thanks for watching, and glad the video helped! The 65 bhp will do the job, but the larger turbos will offer that little bit more comfort. If you expect to carry passengers regularly, one the larger engines might be worth the extra money.👍

[@fruitcake4t]

so just to clarify - the entry level model comes with air-con & cruise control?

[@DeckOfCars]

Hi, thanks for watching. The entry level model in Ireland comes with both cruise control and air con, this may differ in other markets. But from a quick google search it seems that both France and the UK models also have both as standard. hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

[@adrianomahony3591]

looks great.

[@DeckOfCars]

Yeah, It's not a bad looking car at all!

[@jamiecullen9075]

I’m in the market to buy a car next year. Looking for something to get me from A-B. Could you do a video on good first cars both used and new?

[@DeckOfCars]

Yeah definitely, it's on the list of future videos👍

[@mdluk199]

Something like this Sandero would be a good choice

[@dan_6915]

Life is too short to buy used, mate. If you have the cash, buy a new car.

[@karlr216]

Does this model come with assisted hill start?

[@fruitcake4t]

can you explain the radio a bit more..there are no conventional controls, its operated via the stalks?

[@DeckOfCars]

Thanks for watching! So in this spec, there is no screen or buttons in the centre of then dash like we would be familiar with in most cars. Instead, there is a stalk on the steering wheel column that you can control the station, volume and media. The LCD screen between the two dials for speed and revs shows you the info relating to the radio, volume etc. Hope this was helpful 👍

[@michalb_tv]

@@DeckOfCars Hey, could you tell me if the radio works without connected phone to it? thanks

[@DeckOfCars]

@@michalb_tv hi, yes it should still work without phone connected 👍

[@ronken1372]

Is there a big difference compared to the essential & the comfort trim?

[@mindenamidani1918]

With cars being so expensive in Ireland, I don't understand why there aren't thousands of there running around.

[@Ashivlogzz]

Is Dacia and Renault the same ?

[@davidcasey1119]

Are all cars so expensive in Ireland? I ordered a Stepway (equivalent of the prestige) in Romania for 5k less than its RRP in Ireland (and it doesn't cost much different to the Romanian price in Germany).

[@DeckOfCars]

Unfortunately David yes, VRT is a registration tax on vehicles in Ireland that makes us one of the most expensive countries in the EU to buy a car.

[@davidcasey1119]

@@DeckOfCars ouch, that basic Sandero is like 1k-2k less than a full option top spec stepway here.

[@DeckOfCars]

Yeah it's ridiculous how much more expensive the tax makes cars here in Ireland.

[@brianbickle7395]

It’s called a Paddy tax.

[@gertvanpeet3120]

The co2 tax in the Netherlands is the highest! 2600 euro's...for the essential...

How is to drive and is it easy to find LPG for the car?

[@rockabilly375]

@@chrisklitou7573 Drives brilliantly. I can get Lpg at my local Morrisons and a few other places in my area, although recently there seems to have been a shortage, I think due to tanker drivers. There's always unleaded if you run out , I've not run out yet and it saves so much money.

[@brianbickle7395]

Is a proper spare tyre an option??

[@DeckOfCars]

There doesn't seem to be anything on the Dacia website, but you can find ones that will fit on eBay/Amazon for reasonable money.

[@jaava18]

I ordered my Sandero Essential few weeks ago and wanted a spare wheel (costs in Finland 190€). So it is an option at least here. I would not like to start to use a tyre prepare kit in middle of nowhere and then try to get proper air pressure. And that would happen for sure between mid night and early morning.

[@pieterdegelder6563]

does it have acigareete lighter port?

It does

[@TheMisterB2u]

Stepway looks better though!
