1.5 dCi (110bhp) Ambiance 4X4 5d

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

No mechanical problems to speak of, & diesel engine is good, but poor build quality & terrible paintwork let down what could have been a very good car. Fuel consumption is worse than Dacia claimed, expect mid 40's. Dacia UK is not interested in resolving paintwork issues other than touching up easily accessible areas. Worst motoring purchase I've made in 40 years.

How reliable do you find the car?

Numerous problems with premature rusting. 3 times in paint shop in first 2 years.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Don't buy a Dacia RUSTER.
