Bring this to the UK now. Every month you don't is more missed opportunity. I for one will definitely be getting one as soon as they come out. 105bhp diesel model for me with the selectable 4 wheel drive. One of these or a base model fiesta, no contest, Duster all the way. And i think, unlike jukes, qashqai's and freelanders, this will appeal to men. It looks as robust and as chunky as a tonka toy. And us men love a tonka toy. This truly is the thinking man's 4X4.
Did a journey from UK to Bulgaria and then France over Xmas and new year and saw lots of these cars in most of the counties except Germany, I had a close look in France and it seems an intelligent design and very well made, lets hope we see them over here.
I like this car too, but just wondering whether to go for diesel or petrol version? Diesel fuel is cheaper, more fuel efficient but more nosier in cabin, & costly too maintain from service/spare point of view. Also the Diesel car costs more than petrol.
The best car that money can buy at that price because as that dude said you can throw whatever at it it will handle it's designed to do that,it's designed for bad roads and no roads,it's designed to carry more than cu think it can carry,it is designed to be as almost cheap as possible. i'm almost sure you can fix anywhere with a hammer,screwdriver and some steel wire so will carry on more. It is designed ROMANIA. LOG LIVE DACIA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the interest this car has among you, fellow watchers... as a person that had worked on this car I may say that it had surprised me with it's ability to surpass the day to day obstacles on the road (have driven 80km/h + on forest road with no problem); for those in need of unnecessary luxury pack, please pay attention to my remark: if the car is so bad, why the conscious westerners are so mad about it? (the same for other DACIA models).

i am romanian ,but that s not a car ! DACIA it is only for retired people. is not safe on DACIA any accident happens people from DACIA more wounded!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: Traiasca BMW-ul din 2000 cu scaunele tocite, interiorul de ultima generatie si "plinurile" la pompa de 10 RON care sa duc dupa prima ambalare ca doar nu se poate iesi frumos din benzinarie ... ce masa ... am BMW
@xuser22 depinde cum ai grija de masina , am avut un BMW 525tds din '94, l-am dat dupa 10 ani si 450.000 km , mergea brici, am schimbat la el numai consumabile.
nu-mi pasa de ce logo are masina, dar in masini mai vechi de "fitze" exista elemente de confort si mai ales de siguranta pasiva si activa care nu exista in masini noi ieftine.
fratilor observ cu parere de rau ca inca nu a disparut fitza de om prost a cumparatului unei masini "de lux" la mana a doua care sa aiba 150.000+ Km, chiar daca e bmw sau audi asta nu inseamna ca nu se strica, in caz ca nu stiati toate piesele indiferent de marca sunt facuta sa cedeze la un anumit numar de km (doar nu vreti sa dea faliment) , asa ca nu stiu cum o sa scoateti camasa cand va duceti sa schimbati o piesa la un BMW de 10 ani, sau poate umpleti parcurile de dezmembrari.
well I'd rather buy this over an X6 because I know for a fact that when I need repairs, the dealership won't viciously rape my wallet, unlike the BMW dealership...
eu am facut test-drive cam pe toate modele.. singurul care are vreo vlaga e acela de 110 cp. masina e ca o barca totusi.. am intrat intr-un sens giratoriu de am crezut ca ies la jumatatea drumului :)) La pret nu e rea.. Totusi daca as da 17-18.000 de euro pe un mini SUV, mai bine mi-as lua o toyota RAV4 SH sau un X3 SH. Exact la aceiasi bani, mai multe chestii pe el, mai de calitate.. mai rezistente in timp.. si mai presus de toate... nu te lasa in timp ;)
Sorry but this is really bad test drive. I thougt they ll try at least drive it on really rough terrain uphill, downhill... Not just using handbrake to make cool video. :/
And yes this car is based on Nissan platform it's using X-trail/Qashqai AWD system (it's pretty good system) and proved Renault engines and you have cheap and reliable SUV.
i don't like suv so i don't like this car eather BUT you can make a super car with a lot of money but to make a good car as cheap as posible si harder than making a super car ,in this area dacia is the ferrari of cheap cars unbeatble price and fuck it it looks like a car what do you want more at that price suv for the cost of a hatchback country man can use it very well in the mountain area ,you don't buy a dacia to pick up chicks .
Can anyone tell me why they don't test the 4x4 Dacia duster "laureate" ( the expensive version of duster ) which comes with ABS and EDC? we want to see how the new braking system bosch 8.1 is working on this new 4WD...
So it will be released to the UK in 2012 ??? A bit late actualy...by then some other car manufacter will come up with another concept much better...not to mention that by then the automotive technology would come up with new gadgets for cars...
@Oruper: si tu ai fi fost putin mai destept daca mergeai la orele de romana. (valabil si pentru aia 11 natafletzi care au dat Up pentru commentul tau).

The car they are testing will not cost 11k . This one is the almost-top spec'ed model, which in Romania now costs 17k euro. And it doesn't even offer electric rear windows. If you want air con, you have to fork out 800 euros ! The base model is as base as it gets. You get a 1.6 petrol, a gearbox and that's about it. And the middle spec'ed one has the engine off an really old megane.I recently tested one of these, and it was pretty underwhelming for its hype.
@maia1984 i'm from romania and the basic duster costs 10.500 euros what you said in pounds is almost 13k euros,do your math next time :) and this is a good,balanced car for the basic needs,it does not meant to be a luxury car,it's a LOW-COST production car and the problem is that everyone got used to BMW's Mercs,audi quality,this is no bmw,this is a low cost car and it is enough,not more,simple good car,not great,not perfect,good.
@Oroco001 that's cause they are being bought by allot of ppl,i've been to the Mioveni factory in Romania (cause i live there) to see how it's produced,and believe me,they are doing their job well,and i'm not saying that because i live in romania,but because it really is the truth,ppl are buying dusters faster than we can produce it.
This is fantastic SUV if you consider its price. Finally there is a good looking, reliable, roomy and affordable SUV on the market. I hope they do not increase pricing due to its success, also I hope they will add some safety features (ESP, more airbags etc.)
I like this car because it seems very basic, very "mechanical. I'm not into a lot of electronics in a car. It does seem to be a bit noisy. It has been on the market over here for about a month and a half and it seems to sell like fresh cookies. I went to a nearby dealer yesterday, hoping for a testdrive but they are all out of dusters 'till august.
listen u ignonrant british patronizing fat slag....the car it's already on the market in france germany and any other european country apart from the UK and ireland....and i hope DACIA wil never get into that country wich for so many years tryed to desxroy our image....britain does not deserve this car make...YOU british arrogants....we don't need you at all in anything...just fuck off and forget we exist you alcoholic pedophile rainy crap nation wide idiots with no religion
@fabycj ....you supid fuck....you can suck my dick with your whole british family, why all the europe is driving in the left side of the car, and you ...the suckers drive on the left?you don't want the duster to come in UK because it coud destroy your mini's or what the fuck ?????
This car has great design and interior quality. And could be sold in South America with the Nissan brand with no problem. Nissan sounds more motivating than Renault. The Dacia Logan is sold in Mexico as Nissan Aprio. And in south america as Renault.
The guy pronounces quite OK in Romanian (da-chee-a) , "Day-see-a" is more like the Top Gear's pronunciation :) It is a relatively cheap car but does not look cheap, in fact looks quite OK. Anyway looks 25 years younger compared with the Defender :)
He pronounces like they pronounce it in Romania. It's a cheap car and I think that it's the best option in this time of economical crisis. Smart people those Romanians :D.
@rusugeorgealex yes...but even for most of romanian people...it's still a little expensive...our medium wage is about 300 euro give or take 50 euros :)
I saw this at the Geneva show and was really impressed with it. It is, as someone below said, hard not to like. For life at the end of a track in the Highlands or Wales where ruggedness and traction are more important than all-out off-roading it will make a convincing choice.
The optional 4x4 system is borrowed straight from the Nissan Qashqai, so should prove to be reliable and robust. The looks seem to take a few styling cues from both the Nissan X-Trail and Pathfinder, which is no bad thing, it's hard not to like this car apart from the ridiculous name.
Interesting review, but would I change my Qashqai for a Duster? Probably not, but canny buyers who find the Qashqai too pricey could save possibly 5 grand on a car that's not far off pace. Renault should market it as a Renault in the UK, why not axe the ill thought out Koleos or re-badge the tastefully rugged looking Duster with it's name? The Renault image is obviously better than a budget brand even if reliability is average.
One to watch closely, especially at that super-mini price tag!
does any one in the UK remember the last time that Dacia imported a car into the UK called the Duster?..it was based on the old Renault 12 and was WORSE then a 1957 Vauxhall Victor for rusting away as soon as you took it out of the showroom!(and that is saying something)it was also a peice of crap if memory serves!
@nomainreason oyu really should read what i posted old son,the original Dacia duster WAS a old Renault 12 but worse! the new one is ok to look at but i am not holding high hopes for it!
you're comparing apples and oranges, this is some cheap car made for people who want to get a load of a value for their money
so if it looks like shit one can automatically ASSUME it's shit? is that how you assumed a lot but never even bothered to check the Human Development Index once in your life? or you don't know to read anything you just know it?
prejudice and ignorance is death, you read some roadtest first and then pass your judgment butthead
You're the only idiot here. You don't see me going around telling people they have wrong opinions. Yeah I was comparing apples and oranges so you should have just left it at that but no, you come in here acting like you're smarter than me trying to "prove" me wrong. Just face it, you have nothing on me at all. What you just sent to me is total hypocritical bullshit. Like I said already, fuck off and go pester someone else; maybe they'll buy your bullshit because I certainly don't
Tell me. What good is an opinion if you can't back it up?
Am I supposed to silently watch people posting their bile?
So me defending this cheap bargain of a car meant for people around Europe with limited economic resources is bullshit?Whereas you completely ignoring or more likely being unaware of the good reviews it got from the Autocar roadtest,is not bullshit?
Not everybody can afford a BMW X5
I have nothing on you? For one you went your aggressions on banal things like cars.
Stop trying to get into my business. I can say whatever I want and I don't need some arrogant son of a bitch like you trying to tell me off like you did in that McLaren video. Who the fuck do you think you are to tell me you know better and my opinion is wrong? Go fuck yourself asshole. I know you're an arrogant piece of shit just by reading your show-offy profile. You have some insecurity issues and clearly you didn't get the message the first time. You have a lot of time on your hands dont you
I will oder the car BASIC because of the budget we have. Low budget! But great family car with 5 years of guarantee and great reviews. I've seen the car in real. My friend has a Duster 1.5 for 12 weeks now. He is very happy with it! Looks of a car are very personal. For me it is moving us from A to B. With that in mind, and 3 kids it is it is a good investment.
This is the first good-looking Dacia, and it actually looks quite nice, if only it had a bit more power (at least 100 hp). This car, even though mostly engineered by Renault, makes me proud to be a Romanian.
i have seen a clip of the off road performance of this car... it would put to shame alot of SUV's .. i dont find it a very nice thing to look at but guess for this amount of money its ok
@mindbullets2142 part 2: as price WOW that's the most interesting part: is cheaper than any of competitors.. with a lot of Euro. full option it's almost.. 17 500 Euro. as fiability, dacia also made models Logan and Sandero. those models are known as fiable cars [dacia produced cars from romanian people to romanian people. Romania have bad infrastructure :), soo cars should be resistant.] that's about duster.. in all i think is a good car :)
@allkbob reliable and reliability, not fiable and fiability. Romanian =/= English. I won't pick on you any further because you're right about what you said. :P
@MindBullets2142 Part 1 : i drove one of them last two weeks.. i'm from the city where's made this car pitesti-mioveni [Romania] and i can say that Dacia Duster is awesome.. is based on comfort soo it had soft suspension. 1.5 85hp diesel engine is preety slow, but because car's light, it's ok. in off-road i think is good because is high and angles sounds goood, better than rav4 and most of competitors, as vw tiguan, skoda yeti, suzuky sx4...
In Romania, Dacia Duster starts from 10500 euro for - 4x2, petrol engine 110HP. Logan is only 5900 in basic version. A good price for a new car with 120.000km warranty.
Bring this to the UK now. Every month you don't is more missed opportunity. I for one will definitely be getting one as soon as they come out. 105bhp diesel model for me with the selectable 4 wheel drive. One of these or a base model fiesta, no contest, Duster all the way.

@Oroco001 that's cause they are being bought by allot of ppl,i've been to the Mioveni factory in Romania (cause i live there) to see how it's produced,and believe me,they are doing their job well,and i'm not saying that because i live in romania,but because it really is the truth,ppl are buying dusters faster than we can produce it.

In Germany the car is on market since April this year.
Now (30th May) you must wait until January next year when you order now.
So i think it will have the same success in the UK.
Only the colors are....boring. two types of blue, white, black, grey, brown and then end

This is fantastic SUV if you consider its price. Finally there is a good looking, reliable, roomy and affordable SUV on the market. I hope they do not increase pricing due to its success, also I hope they will add some safety features (ESP, more airbags etc.)

I like this car because it seems very basic, very "mechanical. I'm not into a lot of electronics in a car. It does seem to be a bit noisy. It has been on the market over here for about a month and a half and it seems to sell like fresh cookies. I went to a nearby dealer yesterday, hoping for a testdrive but they are all out of dusters 'till august.

This car has great design and interior quality. And could be sold in South America with the Nissan brand with no problem. Nissan sounds more motivating than Renault. The Dacia Logan is sold in Mexico as Nissan Aprio. And in south america as Renault.

emilica666 1 year ago 4
The guy pronounces quite OK in Romanian (da-chee-a) , "Day-see-a" is more like the Top Gear's pronunciation :) It is a relatively cheap car but does not look cheap, in fact looks quite OK. Anyway looks 25 years younger compared with the Defender :)

I saw this at the Geneva show and was really impressed with it. It is, as someone below said, hard not to like. For life at the end of a track in the Highlands or Wales where ruggedness and traction are more important than all-out off-roading it will make a convincing choice.
ajpbradley 1 year ago
The optional 4x4 system is borrowed straight from the Nissan Qashqai, so should prove to be reliable and robust. The looks seem to take a few styling cues from both the Nissan X-Trail and Pathfinder, which is no bad thing, it's hard not to like this car apart from the ridiculous name.

@CourierA2Z I agree, there are a lot of cues that seem to have been taken from Nissan.
nazzazzan 1 year ago
Interesting review, but would I change my Qashqai for a Duster? Probably not, but canny buyers who find the Qashqai too pricey could save possibly 5 grand on a car that's not far off pace. Renault should market it as a Renault in the UK, why not axe the ill thought out Koleos or re-badge the tastefully rugged looking Duster with it's name? The Renault image is obviously better than a budget brand even if reliability is average.
One to watch closely, especially at that super-mini price tag!

does any one in the UK remember the last time that Dacia imported a car into the UK called the Duster?..it was based on the old Renault 12 and was WORSE then a 1957 Vauxhall Victor for rusting away as soon as you took it out of the showroom!(and that is saying something)it was also a peice of crap if memory serves!

because you're an idiot, that's why
you're comparing apples and oranges, this is some cheap car made for people who want to get a load of a value for their money
so if it looks like shit one can automatically ASSUME it's shit? is that how you assumed a lot but never even bothered to check the Human Development Index once in your life? or you don't know to read anything you just know it?
prejudice and ignorance is death, you read some roadtest first and then pass your judgment butthead

You're the only idiot here. You don't see me going around telling people they have wrong opinions. Yeah I was comparing apples and oranges so you should have just left it at that but no, you come in here acting like you're smarter than me trying to "prove" me wrong. Just face it, you have nothing on me at all. What you just sent to me is total hypocritical bullshit. Like I said already, fuck off and go pester someone else; maybe they'll buy your bullshit because I certainly don't

You have some insecurity issues and clearly you didn't get the message the first time. You have a lot of time on your hands dont you

I will oder the car BASIC because of the budget we have. Low budget! But great family car with 5 years of guarantee and great reviews. I've seen the car in real. My friend has a Duster 1.5 for 12 weeks now. He is very happy with it! Looks of a car are very personal. For me it is moving us from A to B. With that in mind, and 3 kids it is it is a good investment.

This is the first good-looking Dacia, and it actually looks quite nice, if only it had a bit more power (at least 100 hp). This car, even though mostly engineered by Renault, makes me proud to be a Romanian.

@mindbullets2142 part 2: as price WOW that's the most interesting part: is cheaper than any of competitors.. with a lot of Euro. full option it's almost.. 17 500 Euro. as fiability, dacia also made models Logan and Sandero. those models are known as fiable cars [dacia produced cars from romanian people to romanian people. Romania have bad infrastructure :), soo cars should be resistant.] that's about duster.. in all i think is a good car :)
