Dacia Duster. My streets full of them...
Discussion
They seem very popular, are they decent motors for family, kids, mpg, refinement and long distance driving. And more importantly are they comfortable and refined!
Looking at AT seems they are all pretty much h diesels which is what we want to avoid. Take it they have a DPF?
Cheap cars though. Considering heading back to a Skoda again though..

i like the idea but would never buy one, too cheap for a modern country, considering there are better used cars for not much less. I think the appeal is they are cheap cars disguised as some sort of utilitarian transport..
What do you mean 'too cheap for a modern country' The price is too cheap? The car is too basic?
I'll agree on both points, the car is cheap, the basic car is super basic, but the basic car makes up a tiny % of the cars sold in the U.K.
The majority are diesel Laureate models with aircon, Bluetooth, CL, electric windows (and as of this year DAB) for £14,495. Finance it and you get £1250 deposit contribution (so effectively £13250) 3 years breakdown and 5 years warranty.

the cars is developed for countries not as developed as the UK but some how re-marketed it as this utilitarian transport, and fair enough a lot of people buy them. I just don't see the point of a cheap car with not much options when you could buy a better used car if you are trying to save money. Do farmers buy them no, i guess it would be middle class people, who tell anyone who listens how cheap it is.The price is too cheap? The car is too basic?

We're based in cornwall, rural, lots of farmers. We sell lots of Dusters to, er, farmers
Actually we sell lots of dusters to lots of different people, and they buy them for many different reasons, but one of the main ones is that you get a brand new car with very reliable underpinnings for a decent price that would normally get you a 2/3 year old car and you get a new car warranty etc with it.
And some people do buy them because they like the look of them alone.
I'm seeing more and more Dusters lately they are always in white and see many driven by youngish women which I find odd. But I think they see it as cool as long as it's a white 4x4 with the number 17/67 on the reg even though they look cheap and nasty and have casters for wheels.
Everytime I see one I think of that annoying advert for them "another one bites the duster" to the tune of the queen song.
