      if you just want a car as cheap as possible a Dacia without any options might be a great choice.
      The moment you go all in, it becomes so expensive you could nearly get a Mini Countryman for the money with a decent discount that Dacia won’t give to you.

      As long you don't mind actually dying in a crash it's a great car. I personally can't stomach 3 stars in EURO NCAP with raised price for which you can get a safer var.

    This was the best video I've seen from Top Gear in a long while. Awesome cinematography from start to finish, informative review of an appealing/affordable vehicle, all topped off with awesome bonus footage of the company's race car doing race car type things in a gorgeous setting.
    My only complaint is with something that is not Top Gear's fault at all, and it is that this vehicle and the brand itself are completely unavailable in the US, because we desperately need a _good_ affordable new vehicle like this Stateside, ASAP.

    Definitely wish we had some companies with that approach in the U.S. I'm not that old, but I can't stand modern cars - despite having the budget to buy almost anything, I am still driving an older manual car with 200K on it, because I have less-than-zero interest in modern tech/screens/automatic systems, etc.
    Hope that a counter-culture appears in the future where companies start making cars that just...do car stuff, again.

      Because it should be an affordable car for Romanians. And it's not.For the same price you can buy entry level Tucson or Korando or Suzuki SCross. It's affordable for the rest of the world, with low quality materials and loads of problems for the 1.2 engine 4x2. (gas in oil), many owners are changing the oil every 500km and the dealership does nothing.

      A while back I was thinking the Duster 3 is just too small for US at L: 4.34 m (171") x W: 1.83 mm (72") x H: 1.66 m (65") but then I heard about Nissan Kicks (P16; 2024) which is about to launch in US and is based on the same CMF-B platform as the Duster and is even a bit smaller overall at L: 4.37 m (172") x W: 1.8 m (71") x H: 1.63 m (64").
      Now I think it's likely one of the terms of the Renault-Nissan alliance is US = Nissan's turf. We'll see what happens to these terms if this alliance continues to crumble.
      I doubt the Kicks will be a remarkable value product. It looks expensive.

    I got a Dacia extreme, absolutely brilliant car. Its not luxurious but it looks good, comfortable, drives well, never had any issues with it from new, now 2 years old with 24k miles. I get servicing included for an extra £10 a month which is a no brainer for me. I literally can't complain, it undercuts competition while beating it. It might have a cheaper looking interior but that's about it really. The new one seems to have improved on all the little things that would have made it pretty perfect too. It's dependable, it's a great worker. I had a 2018 fiesta st before that and it went wrong on average once a month, I loved it even with all the issues. But I had over 30 warranty fixes in the few years I had it and that's not only ridiculous but pretty unheard of. Not all are like that, I was very unlucky in terms of it's reliability

    It looks amazing on video, and the specs are incredible, price is right, I went down to a dealer and sat in one and immediately felt like a little kid trying to look over the dashboard. Like they are trying to make these cars feel as big as possible, and have this big massive unnecessary front end sticking out trying to look like a big stupid American truck so you have no idea where the end is. I guess I’m kind of spoiled because I’m used to driving Volkswagen van, but I ended up getting a Suzuki Jimmy. I just like the feel of being higher in relation to the dashboard and having a greater direct feeling of the external world to the windows. But this is a very personal experience for me. I certainly miss having that massive trunk (“boot”).

    I want one.
    My favourite ever car was my nissan pathfinder in part because of the split opening rear window but still this new dacia duster gets closer to that feeling and has decent MPG etc.

    For the money you can't beat its off road ability, also not massive like the some of the good 4x4's. Also can park in the town car park no problem due to size.. sort of car you feel confident and secure in that it wont let you down in any environment. To me it looks a bit like a mini Landover, shame they messed up that market after the Freelander 2.

    The salesman at the local dealership told me there isn't a day without someone asking for a 4-pot hybrid 4x4. I'm guessing it's a packaging problem but a missed opportunity still.

      It looks like it's on the way. It was seen in testing a mule with electrical rear axle. So, a hybrid hybrid 4x4. I don't know if it will be any good offroading, but it will be a 4x4 hybrid. We have to wait the Bigster for confirmation.

    Really good looking car. I’ve been in a drive test with the 4x4 “extreme” version. I think they called it extreme because the only engine available is a 1 liter 3 cylinder. It beats my logic. Why put a tiny engine on a 4 by 4 and a 1.6 on the 4x2 version. Try load it with four or five passengers and som outdoor luggage and then throw it in the wilderness
