Back to basics motoring at a bargain basement price, and it undercuts the likes of the C1 / 107 / Aygo by quite a margin.
I imagine we'll see quite a few of these on the roads soon.

The £6595 one sounds like the winner - stereo with bluetooth and fancy jazz, electric windows, body-coloured bumpers, remote central locking and a set of wheel trims. Brilliant!

Valid at the low end of the scale, yet the majority of Dacia owners seem to spec up their cars to make them damn near as expensive as a proper car?  I liked the Logan MCV for its unpretentiousness and the way it just got on with the job, but the first-gen Sandero (which in decentish spec cost 13,000 euro here) that I drove felt like a fifteen year old Clio or Mégane - not just one of 15 years ago, but also one that has 15 years of wear on it. The throttle pedal vibrated, the gearshift had fairly huge play in it, the steering was vague and rubbery etc.

I think it looks great, the basic one is refreshingly simple and at the other end of the scale you can have a fully loaded model with a latest generation engine for under £12k. Good work! These will make a lot more sense than a used car for a lot of people.  Hope this gets the other manufacturer to move down on price for low-end models. The likes of Kia and Hyundai used to be cheap but these days they've got expensive. EDIT: They've even managed to make ESC standard across the range! Plenty of mainstream cars costing twice as much still don't have it.

If its even remotely built properly (?) that should be super reliable. Tesco proof bumpers and everything.

Now all they need is a decent warranty and a dealership network to back it up (piggybacking Renault's?)

Considering you can struggle to get change from £20k for a Ford Focus these days it is about time new car prices came back down to reality. Not everyone wants to 'rent' a car for three years.

I quite fancy the appliance-spec 4x4 thing; the only option on it being the 4WD.
But when you consider that I recently paid £4k for a 100k mile, ten yr old Golf TDI, a brand new car (offering similar/better economy, if not pace) for only £2k more, makes a lot of sense.
Well done Renault.

This is a great news car, a top spec Laureate (sp?) dCi is only £9795, a 1.2 16v version is only £7995.
This car will do well.
