We live in an age where budget cars give you climate controls while luxury cars can't afford to.

[@Murv]

We live in an age where people only call for climate controls because most car software is bad enough - or the customer tech illiterate enough to need them.

[@nunogloop3386]

The same philosophy can be applied to smartphones.

[@yissibiiyte]

​@@nunogloop3386Not really, even the cheapest budget smartphones are buttonless nowadays.

[@user-w29vfwh59vd]

Luxury car manufacturers have much higher R&D costs than budget car manufacturers. So it would make sense that they would want to save a little on buttons. But, for the price they are selling those luxury cars they should be able to spare some cash for buttons. But then again, their business model is based on built-in obsolescence to drive higher sales, so making most of their car's features software-based makes sense to them, because softwares become obsolete faster than buttons.

[@Sha-Ayo]

Which luxury cars don't have climate control?

[@olanrewajuin2008]

I like what Dacia is doing. It does not make sense that base Volvo XC40 starts at 43,000 Euros, but base model of Dacia Duster is 19,000 Euros. There is no amount of quality in base model Volvo XC40 that justifies it being twice as expensive as base model Dacia Dsuter. The same goes for BMW X3, Audi Q4 and the rest of them. We consumers need to hold back and actually stop buying cars for several months, holding on to what we currently have in protest aginst these brands that are charging ridiculous amounts. All of them these days are charging 100,000 Euros casually for their midrange class of vehicles, vehicles that are supposed to be daily drivers. Makes absolutely no sense.

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

How good to see such a non premium car reviewed, thank you. The first glory is that there is a version available WITHOUT an infotainment system; just wonderful. Secondly it is great to see 4WD with a manual shift again, because you get so much better control in difficult road conditions. Finally even at €29k as specced this is an object lesson in what you do or do not really need. I understand the need for autobahn performance in a country like Germany but where I live in the UK and other such backward European countries practical off road and poor weather performance really matters for rural use cases. I am not sure this is quite rugged enough to replace an old Land Rover Defender for farm work with a ewe and two lambs in the back, but it does quite a lot of that job.

[@autogefuehl]

seems you hit another top comment here :)

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

Interior quality is better than in cars costing 3 or 4 times more, because this Dacia lacks dirt-and-grime-encrusted "piano black" and has lots of physical buttons, instead of inferior and cheaper "haptic" buttons like in so many VW and Stellantis products.

[@costingeorgescu9760]

To be honest I don't really like the piano black finish, gets really smudgy when you have kids! This car is rugged, reliable and really good looking.

Dacia Duster is not necessarily a bad car even with the small engine. It is just that it seems more appropriate if you need it for work, construction site, agriculture, if you live in the mountain, or something similar. Even then the price is too high for the high trim options. But if you get a cheap one make sense to get the job done. As a family car I would look for something else, like a hyundai or a kia.

Ich bin ab und zu mal als MiniCamper unterwegs und hab den Duster mal gecheckt. Wenn man halbseitig im Auto pennt ist der Duster super geeignet. Sitze umgelegt und Beifahrersitz nach vorne hat er eine stattliche Innenlänge von. 2.1m die dann zur Liegefläche zur Verfügung stehen. Das ist angesichts der Gesamtänge ein mega guter Wert. Auch sonst scheint er sehr solide zu sein. Die Hartplastik stört mich überhaupt nicht, Der Look ist insgesamt vollkommen ok und das Design insgesamt ist sehr cool. Schönes Auto, deutliches Plus zum Gen2 Duster. Motoren sind für mich ok, ich brauche keinen Diesel. Was war shaking bei 12:37min?

[@dungbetel]

Interesting review, but you can't say the acceleration figure is dangerous. You have to adapt your driving to the vehicle you're driving, the conditions and the traffic around you. If you don't have the space to safely pull out and overtake, then you wait until it is safe to do so...

[@autogefuehl]

I know what you mean, but try some German Autobahn areas which I tried and you ll agree. Often its way safer to accelerate quickly and get away then staying slow and taking the next spot, a lot of people dont really let you in

Those are not winter tires. Those are All Seasons (3 peaks M+S) which are legally enough to qualify as winter tires across Europe where some countries make at least those (or real proper winter tires) mandatory during winter/snow. Those universal/all-season tires are enough for a bit of snow. Though real proper winter tire (and at least FWD, or even better AWD, probably no luck with RWD) would mean you can actually make serious climbs (like 30 or more degrees) covered with snow - without needing to put snow chains.

[@sevensixtysteve8662]

It’s interesting to me in a world where there is such pressure to reduce carbon emissions, Germany persists with very high motorway speeds and the associated pollution level. Some manufacturers are already limiting their cars speed and so the Dacias performance outside of an autobahn, ie the rest of the world, is probably adequate and in line with what you would expect from a car like this. Dacia should be applauded for bringing such an interesting and affordable car to the market, it makes a refreshing change from the overweight and oversized led clad monsters filling up the roads and literally costing the earth to manufacture. The Dacia seems a much better solution.

@@BaaLaaN I am just guessing now, but I would guess that its only a small part of the population that buys a SUV that goes offroad with it. And also, going offroad means you need better tires, than those that comes with the cars in many cases. Also nothing of the chassies of the suv's I have seen has looked like they would survive offroading. SUV is popular to make cause they do not have the same hard regulations as small cars have.

you can't get A3 audi for 23k lol

[@AndrewTSq]

​@@antonskundrotspravieniskis1188 You can not? Wierd, that is what I paid for mine... I also have the used car market open here in the browser, Audi A3 30 TFSI, 2023, 9600KM 239000 SEK = 20700 Euro. So please read what I write next time about it being used.... Also this car has equipment like radar based cruise control, and sport seats, android auto and carplay ofcourse, 10" screen, + digital dash, keyless drive, and so on. But a new Dacia for a little bit more money might appeal others.

​@@AndrewTSqin Romania you can buy it with off road kit fitted in the factory, for 5000Eur more. It has better off road suspension, all terrain tyres, a light bar on the roof and some other goodies.

How tall are you? With your legs, any car has little leg room. When you stand next to the car it looks as low as a hatchback

An affordable possibility to drive a SUV who has really offroad capabilities, but the windnoises are annoying.

[@matijalisec3059]

It would fe fair to test that base version, if we are talking cheap. Dacia has upmarketed out of it.

[@videodavay]

C'mon Thomas, testing an off-road vehicle on a highway only?

[@autogefuehl]

No legal way for offroading in Germany except some distinctive offroad parks with obstacles. Most customers will not use this car offroad, and if offroad, they ll do some gravel road and not rock climbing. What I said though is that this car is highly offroad capable, maybe we ll get the chance to do that at some point

[@josecunha3852]

To small engine for the dimensions of the vehicle, not so good for the longevity.

[@BrokenAdam770]

Thomas, where are the English and German subtitles?

[@autogefuehl]

these videos came out quickly, still working on it :)

[@colinmcnally5931]

£20,000 is an astronomic price for a car. Should be half that price!!
