This was my first car and I had this for four years. She done me well but it was difficult to get it up hills at times. Twice there were difficulties with the horn which just stopped working and when looking online this seemed to be a theme. However as a first car with a family of four it really did do well.

Own the ambiance 1.2 litre. Had it for 3 months now and done just over 2k miles its going back to the dealer on 14th july due to a clicking sound coming from the front left wheel this doesn't affect the cars drive at all. Drove it to Devon and back on a tank of fuel however motorway speeds are quite an unrefined experience. The engine is probably the worst thing about this car I wish I had gone for the tce or the dci instead. Its perfectly fine at low speeds but it tends to get very noisey above 3k rpm. However its the bombproof D4f sohc 16v unit supplied by renault so it'll run forever. Comfort is very good now the seats have somewhat bedded in and nothing has fallen off or broken being white means it requires a weekly clean but I have always cleaned my cars weekly anyway. Handling is very good once you get comfortable with the body roll it wallows around on the twisties but theres plenty of grip and the steering is pretty sharp a sports car this isn't tho.

I might be Romanian, but please believe me when I say this: not everything in this right. 0.9 turbo is a stupid little engine, but the 1.5 with a manual has old charm. I bought a German car of this size expecting comfort and I didn't get it. My 2013 Polo also leans and has horrible suspension, particularly the crude rear bar (it is just a simple bar with springs). I also drove the Fiesta and it felt like the shocks were coming apart over big bumps. For the money, a Sandero 1.5 dCi is great

Just a simple romanian guy living in the UK here... What if I told you that there's a taxi driver in my local town that drives a Dacia Sandero 1.2 and he reached 999.999km? Not only that but he even claims that he only changed the usual stuff as Engine Oil, Filters and Timing Belt... He still drives it today. Now obviously it is more like a family car so you cannot compare it with sport cars (I would choose something faster really) but for it's price if you're aged enough I guess it's a perfect pick! (:

There is also alot of vibration noises coming from all different places in the interior fittings. The car spent many days in the garage trying to get all sorts of issues fixed. Sold this rubbish car in the end. Its true what they say that you get what you pay for. Avoid Dacia cars and buy any other brand. Dont make the same mistake as me. You have been warned.
