Picked mine up today. Thought I ordered silver but this was a dark grey. Kept schtum just incase it was a problem and I'd need to wait another 6 months.
Genuinely impressed. You could put a Nissan or Renault badge on it and no one would know. Kids love the 'seats in the boot', easy to get in and out of for them, and they like the picnic tables. Eldest prefers it to the model Y, so high praise indeed. As for plastics, is better than a VW polo I once had the misfortune of hiring.
So much space, seats are comfier than the model Y. Engine has a bit of character and nippy enough, decent torque. Feels, drives and sounds a bit diesel like, but all part of the charm.
Why anyone who needs 7 seats would want to spend over double on something with a VW or French badge on it is beyond me. £239 a month is a bargain
Only thing that's defeated me so far is wireless android auto. No idea how to enable it, have connected via Bluetooth on my fold 2 after going to be AA menu and connecting to a car. But no idea what's supposed to happen next... Might try a cable tomorrow.

I'm getting a land rover hardtop video?Saw the bed tent, looks pretty cool.
Spoke to dealer about wireless android auto not working, said the extreme SE doesn't have wireless android auto now, despite all reviews showing it, it mentioned on dacias site and was listed at time of me ordering. Showed me the spec sheet which just has USB connectivity.
Does anyone else have wireless AA? Not the end of the world but annoying if it's lower spec than what I ordered and wasn't told about the changes.

It was standard on Extreme SE, however it was dropped a while back, dealers were informed.

Thanks, that's annoying considering it was a pre-order. Will speak to them on Tuesday and have a moan. Not done the sales guy review yet... There is the odd post on one of the Dacia forums where people had spec'd the accessory wireless phone charger purely due to expecting wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and their car has turned up without it.

Got it on my 22 plate Prestige.

It's a significant feature, I'd have been extremely disappointed if mine had turned up without it.

Was dropped for vehicles produced from 6th June.Wired connections only from that date
So basically only the dealer demos have it?The Rotrex Kid said:
I believe it’s for vehicles that went into production after the is date. So lots of the early (and pre ordered) cars will have it.
AIUI there are no early extremes except the demos. My nearest dealer has said their first customer extreme SE was built in August.I ordered early March before order books officially opened and mine went into production 12th Sept. So I assume it won't have wireless AA

The issue, unfortunately, with Renault/Dacia is that there is no clear way to check what cars actually have it and what cars don't. Unless you actually try it, theres no list, or marking on the car that says what it is. I have pulled the full spec list for a car that has it and another that shouldn't have it and they show identical specs..... so, who knows!

Anyone know the going rate for a jogger rear light cluster? Sister in law just reversed into a sign post and smashed the lens.
Guessing it’s dealer only as the model is still quite new?
Part number 265558520R (that’s a near side one)Guessing it’s dealer only as the model is still quite new?
About £150+VAT. On back order so probably 3/4 weeks for one.
