Dacia Jogger 1 Year Ownership Report | Do I Still Like It?

- čas přidán 2. 08. 2023
- This week on Buckle Up it's GOOD NEWS Harry give an update on his car, a Dacia Jogger Comfort 110 TCe. This is the Romanian brand's large 7 seat family car, though they refuse to decide if its an MPV, SUV or Estate. Starting from £17,435 it offers exceptional value, but is it any good?
Up against rivals such as the Citroen Berlingo, Ford Tourneo Connect, Peugeot Rifter, Renault Kangoo, Skoda Yeti, Vauxhall Combo Life and Volkswagen Caddy Life does the Dacia offer a thrifty but fun alternative?

I have a Jogger - only 1500 miles in at the moment but very pleased with the quality, economy and durability. I have squeezed 4 adults and 3 7 year olds into the car with no problem, and it didn't cost me £50 grand to do so. Great review, great and honest car. Reminds me a little of my first car (Renault 4), my FIAT Multipla Mk 1 and our Citroen 2CV, in that both cars never pretended to be luxury vehicles - they just got on with the job without fuss. I've had Fords, Alfa Romeos, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW.........even an Austin Maestro, and the Jogger is up there with the best of them for comfort, versatility and value for money. I love it.
It just ticks all the boxes
The old Maestro 1.3 was an excellent car . I've had one from new and it took me everywhere I wanted. 👍
How do tou now is durable with 1500 miles?
I’ve had my jogger for over a year I’ve done just over 15 thousand miles. My 3rd Dacia car in just 7 years love it!
They're certainly happy doing the milage
Good review, I've had mine as a second car since December and managed to clock up 13600 miles already. Nothing has gone wrong and as it is all motorway mileage, it's showing an average of 58mpg which is great for the size of the car. Nice to have a car which is just good at doing what a car is supposed to do.
58 is very good indeed, you must be more patient than me 😅
I live in Spain and have the Jogger Extreme SE 7 seater, Petrol/LPG Version (LPG 0.76 cents litre here where I am) had it nearly 9 months, in U.K. £ cost me around £16500 at the time was €18600. Just before prices went up. Had to wait nearly 10 months for it but worth it. I’m so impressed with the ride quality I traded a 2019 Skoda Karoq for the Jogger and I consider the Jogger ride quality better than the Karoq I had. No problems, good honest car at a reasonable price. I also purchased the 4 year service plan. Forgot to mention where I am the road tax for this car is €24
Oh man I wish my tax was €24, I have to schelepp up £180 for this
why did you trade a 2019 Karoq?
@@todorkolev7565 I had it from new and for me to keep a car for more than 18 months is rare, the fact that i kept the car for 3 years is a testament to the fact that i liked it. At the time i thought I needed a 7 seater so traded for the 7 seater Jogger. However since I bought the Jogger (DEC 2022) I have decided I didn't need a 7 seater and replaced the Jogger (Dec 2023) with a Renault ARKANA full hybrid - However, there may come a time in the future where I may need a 7 seater the Jogger hybrid Auto will be in my top 3 list to consider as its a really good value for money car and very comfy, as comfy as the ARKANA I have now.
Update: just got back from family holiday with my six week old Eco-G Jogger. After a 3000km round trip to warmer climes, with five people inside luggage, paddle-board, boogey boards, fins etc. and a full size bicycle (yes, INSIDE the car, with one second row seat folded, and one third row seat stowed) I love the thing even more. Just gave her a wash and hoovered a ton of sand and now she's spotless. Also, cleaning gave me a really detailed look how she's put together, and you can really see the genius of the design, plus where costs were cut, with no loss of quality. It all just makes sense!
It makes so much sense
My name is Eric from NL. Awaiting my first Dacia (LPG Jogger) in two weeks time. After 7 years sold my 350Z roadster. Main reason for the change is saving on maintenance and petrol. And the space available is very convenient when you need it. So let’s go for if! In light green obviously! Liked your video a lot. Very practical user experience and no commercial bs. Cheers
Was any part of you tempted to buy a Nissan Elgrand with the 3.5 litre engine as the 350z instead?
I have Dacia Stepway (2017), spent probably 200eu in repairs for six years. Very satisfied with this brand, very good everyday car. Before had Mercedes e320 (2012), total garbage, constant electric problems, sold after one year of financial suffering.
Very economical motoring
I've got the Xtreme model and I'm very happy with it.
I reckon that the Jogger is Dacia's "Skoda moment". They've gone from cheap, no nonsense cars to a more prestige offering. The Bigster looks like it's going to be another step up. Only downside I can see is that the prices are going to go up. This has already started with the Jogger which is over £3k more now than when it first appeared.
No I don't think we're there yet, all their cars are still value oriented, they've just gone from cheap and nasty to cheap and nice
We've had massive inflation btw.
Had my Jogger for 6 months now absolutely loving it. Apparently i was a bad driver according to the onboard scoring system!
Was sitting at 45/100 points for the first couple of weeks and i was kind of annoyed at that fact. Started to accelerate slower etc and try to improve and now sitting with a score of 95/100 and my mpg is at 54.0 which is 3 more then the official stats.
So not only is the jogger economical if you care enough to improve your driving, its insanely cheap for what it is with camping trips and taxi service for the family (the only driver). Have done 5800 miles so far and no issues.
Best decision ive ever made!
You're much more patient than I am to get a score that high
Got my Jogger in Sept'22 and have done 12000 miles .
All was great till start of November - clutch gearbox issue. Took 2 weeks to get it into a Dacia garage been there since. Known issue but I've not seen anything in reviews.
3 weeks at the garage and counting.
Got a hire car 2 weeks ago after much Pfaff.
Worthy of note, particularly if buying used -22 plate once the warranty is about done
.
Well this is specifically a ownership report on my car, which hasn't suffered any issues, hence the lack of a mention
Thanks for the update, i like the presentation chaps, friendly and informative without being too clever by half which some car reviewers get wrong.
Whilst the 1.0 litre would do us fine and previously i hadn't been too bothered about going back to manual, a 4 week stint with one of my daughter's manual Civics soon put that idea to bed.
So, if we do go for a Jogger its going to have to be the hybrid unless they offer a decent autobox option for the 1.0 litre, which probably won't happen.
Going to hang fire a while and see how reliable the hybrid drive proves.
That hybrid is already in some Nissans and Renaults if you want to look into reliability, I don't have any figures to hand unfortunately
I have had 4 sanderos each one 4 years and then passed them on me and my wife 2 each and they have been the most reliable cars we have ever have with nothing needed on any of them. Compared to our vw polo we had before them which fell apart. So if you are thinking of getting a dacia great go get one theres now a waiting list of about 3 months but worth the wait and you can choose your own reg 😊 we are currently waiting for a new Duster extreme 😊
I waited three months for mine and it was definitely worth it
the bigster will be good too
Really like these and great to know it ticks all the boxes. Always nice to have a car that is reliable and just works as it should. 👍👍 great review
It is a very solid "Just a Car"
I bought a new Duster in 2016, I live in Ireland now; rural area, loads of hills and the roads…..variable🤗 In the 5 years and 76,000 km, I had it it was 100% faultless. Despite some of the roads best efforts nothing rattled, squeaked or fell off. And…the person who owns the car now reports exactly the same. In 2021 I bought a new Citroën C3 Aircross. (Which is also an Opel Mokka underneath with Vauxhall badges instead of the original Opel ones for UK) and also a Peugeot 2008. Also an excellent car but in real terms - touchy feely bits aside - is no better than the Dacia but costs more of course. And it had a few minor teething problems.
I think the Jogger has become the new Duster, and we’re tripping over them both here.
The Irish are very, very tough on their cars - I moved here from UK 15 years ago - and anything that sells well has to be good.
It’s the land of used E Class Mercs and cars like the Dacia here. Oh, and Toyota Landcruisers for the farmers.
Loved this video👍
Now we just need the Jogger AWD version
I live in France and have just got the new version of the Dacia Spring electric. Love it, well built, comfortable and user friendly. Great fun to drive too.
Looking forward to it arriving on our shores soon
I got to chip in as well. I own 2023 Jogger Extreme. I got it in March last year and by end of March 2024 I have covered nearly 12k miles. Last year we took it for the trip all the way from Sheffield to St Tropez, later same year we drove to Poland and back. So half of the mileage is motorway. It's two of us adults and two kids. The car handles perfectly, drives well on a motorway. It's not a racing car and we tend to tour at around 75-78 mph with a roof box on top. Back seats are generally in the garage. Most of the time we have a dog cage at the back but there is still plenty of space for a plug-in fridge and luggage. Very practical for trips to B&Q or Ikea. It was for a service recently and there were no amber or red indications. All good.
Sounds like you're a happy customer
Thank you for this very good review. I am waiting for the new dacia duster next year to buy. Good luck with this very nice jogger!😊
Thank you for watching
Good review! I've ordered the Jogger Hybrid, and it's arriving in September hopefully. Can't wait!
It's very good, we've actually done a video on one czcams.com/video/Em1XH0L9ZsA/video.html
Waved a sad goodbye to my bi-fuel Sandero last Friday after 2 years/43000 Km. After a number of Sanderos and Dusters (and 1 Dokker) between myself and my wife I decided to trade it in for... A Mazda CX 60 PHEV, a very different beast... All our Dacias to date have been flawless, bar a faulty O2 sensor on my wife's Dokker (fixed under warranty). People sneer, but they suit our needs perfectly, reliable, cheap to buy and run, fairly reasonable degree of confort, oustanding cars😊
What led you to going with the Mazda
Eh... Late mid-life crisis? Having come into a little money to indulge myself with? 330-odd BHP? Also, an ownership history of bigger cars (Espaces, Voyager, a Multivan/Caravelle T5). So I had a chance and took it, I love the new wheels, but the little red Sandero will always remain in my heart!@@BuckleUpShow
Oh- Also 20+K EUR cheaper than similar offerings from the Germans, plus I wanted something a little left-field🙂
Stupid people sneer, I'd suggest.
Liking the look of the jogger more and more…..it’s definitely on the list of possible cars to buy. 😊
I've certainly not been disappointed
Just bought a brand new Dacia Jogger it’s the SE Extreme….I’ve only had it a week but I’m already finding it pretty amazing in all aspects especially the price ! Definitely best to go for the se extreme model in my opinion 😁
There's a strong chance the replacement for this one will be a hybrid extreme
Ive got a new hybrid 1.6 jogger extreme on order, looking forward to it. Currently got a vauxhall combo life elite and the jogger has surprisingly a lot more space in it than the combo! granted its not as tall but thats not an issue! The built in interchangeable roof rack was a big sale for me too! And its a hybrid which is good for me as im very similar build to you and im quite heavy footed, so any extra effiency is a bonus!
The hybrid will do even better economy than I've been getting, and the auto is a nice upgrade for doing long distance driving
how are you getting on with the new car?
Just bought a Joger, waiting for delivery. Spoken to other owners and they all seem very pleased.
I am also pleased
They do seem to have cornered a section of the market for themselves. Whilst van based mpv’s can be very good, they are also significantly more expensive….. some of them over double.
And often the cheapest ones are only five seats
I have had a Dacia sandero stepway for the last 5 years and have found it very comfortable, economical and actually quite fun to drive. I drive to Devon a few times a year which is about 190 miles and it's a pleasure to drive. Had an Alfa Romeo 146 and after a long drive I would have back ache. Also the Alfa was always going wrong. I will be sticking with Dacia I think.
Any car would seem reliable after a 25 year old Alfa, but you're right it's a solid car
Try a Duster, it’s amazing
Own a Dacia logan mcv and now on 94000 miles computer tells me I get almost 59mpg as diesel zero tax and only had problem with rea wheel bearing in 7 years of ownership so can't complain
Dacia are good at making unfussy cars
Back in August we flew in to Heathrow from the States and Leased a Jogger to go to Norfolk, Norwich actually, to visit some old friends. One of whom was doing poorly. Anyway, the Jogger was great, roomy and economical. It transported the four of us and our bags and baggage just fine. Rode well. To bad they are not sold in the States.
I don't think a 1.0 7 seat car would sell very well in the states. Traffic in general has a much better availability to accelerate there and you might end up feeling a bit vulnerable in a Jogger when merging onto the freeway
Im ordering the jogger xtreme tomorrow... looking forward to it!
Get it in green
@@BuckleUpShow i took black :D
I went on a Jogger test drive with my ‘06 Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3. When I went back to my car, this is when the Jogger magic went off, but I still love this model. I only need bigger engine, even in the video I was hoping he did not peel off when joining the traffic. This kind of machines need to run smooth like a train.
The Grand Voyager is a horrible car, the interior is nasty, the engine is a boat anchor and it comes with a lethargic four speed auto so not only is it slow but it's also very thirsty. 3.3 litres to make less than 180 horsepower and a 0-62 time of 12.6 seconds, Nealy a second slower than the Dacia.
Now I get that a manual with a heavily turbocharged 3 cylinder engine isn't going to be as smooth as a tragic Chrysler, in which case I would point you in the direction of the Hybrid. It also has four speeds but since it was designed in this century it's capable of selecting them without a telegram being sent and because of the hybridisation it's both quick and fuel efficient.
....it is what it is. A great car for the money. Let's face it, we just want reliability these days.....it's all about expenditure. Very good simple review. Q2. Jonny 😎
Thanks for watching
Never mind home furniture, I’d quite like something I could bolt onto them to use as camping/beach chairs. Maybe to use in conjunction with the campervan conversion kit you can get from Dacia
That's a genius idea
I bought a Quechua lounge tent (120€ new) as a tailgate tent; fits perfectly! Planning to use it for rallys, surfing and other events. Take out the back seats, flip up the middle row, and you've got room for a six foot bed.
The assistants have done a great job. I suggest you give them some treats. Wish you many more trouble-free miles
They were well treated
Have a Sandero with 90hp for 5 years now and it's been great value for money. It only had one severe engine fault where the engine light stayed on and it cut off from overheating (very hot summer in Portugal) but it was fixed fairly cheaply and quickly. Apparently a temperature sensor was malfunctioning and was replaced. Other than that, I have one pet peeve which is that the engine is kinda jerky at low speeds, especially when I first turn it on. Overall though, I feel I got a lot for that price tag.
They're definitely workhorses
I've had my khaki Eco-G Expression model for a month, now and I love it. It's cheap and chunky, robust and immensely practical. Here in PT LPG is a third the cost of petrol (0.7€/litre) and I get 30mpg (so, basically, a 50% saving). I've climbed a 6500 foot mountain seven up with no discernible difference in performance (and only a slight increase in consumption). I didn't get a phone holder either, but it would have been in a stupid place anyway, and I've used a swivel magnet holder under the opposite side middle A/C vent. Handling is rolly but fun, and no worse than a high end SUV, and I've even found it relatively grippy off-road (though I don't love the Continental tyres it comes with). Overall, like the man said, why would anyone NOT buy a Jogger?!?
I wish Khaki green had been available when I ordered mine, looks so good on it
@@BuckleUpShow Oh I love it! The more dusty, the better it looks. I also got the silver alloys for 350€ plus. I didn't like the black wheels, the electric handbrake or the huge key card, so I passed on the top spec, but I would recommend the basic model; if your going to Dacia, do it right!
Basic motoring at its absolute best 😁
I just ordered a Sandero stepway with the jogger engine. 3 weeks and counting until I will get it! So pleased to hear about the mileage. Greetings from Romania!
You won't be disappointed
The Sandero loses 20 bhp to the Jogger but is obviously lighter
@@thelivingdodo why? I ordered mine with the same Tce110
@@laurradu868 I guess because it is a smaller car. The TCe 110 is not available on the Stepway over here but may be where you are. Should go pretty well if it is!
Bluespark do a tuning box for the Jogger 110 Tce, it looks quite useful indeed.
I’ve owned a sandero for two years now . Only problem I have is occasionally is the sos warning call message displays on instrument panel dealership can’t sort it . Have you a video of boot space in your jogger ?
Full review including boot space is here czcams.com/video/LDCWQbz5v3E/video.htmlsi=ITjvE-2c2OvAyVQP
I have a Duster. I drive a bit less, so it lost the new car feeling at approximately 7 year margin. You should still find yours exactly the same after 4 years. The first real problem came when the car was 9 years old - power steering fluid pipe developed a leak after coming to contact with the skid plate. Got that fixed for less than 200. The next problems were with back brakes at 11 years after I left the car in a snowbank for a month with the hand brake on, and then front brake disks in spring after a real hard brake test forced on me on a motorway by two deer that decided to go back after having already passed. Total cost just over 300. Year 12 replaced two parts of the exhaust pipe for ~100. So ~600 in repair costs over 12 years. Ugh, add 50 for a new battery year 10 or so. That's less than I've paid for tyres and windscreen wipers over the same time.
That is some economical motoring
I have the exact spec/colour Jogger as you. I've noticed a slight whine from the gearbox under load in 4/5/6th. Obviously it's a cheap car and probably has less insulation so I'm not too bothered but have you noticed this on yours? If not I might mention it at first service later this month.
No nothing like that on mine
@@BuckleUpShow thanks
Thank you!!!
You're welcome
Lovely dogs and a good car, thank you for your insight.🙂
Thank you for watching
Good to know
I fancy getting a dacia bigster when out they 1.6 hybrid
The Bigster does look very appealing from what we know so far
I'm looking into buying one in the next week
What spec are you thinking of?
Was thinking of buying one and after watching this I have decided that it would be worth it. Thanks
Shame Dacia don't pay me commission 😅
What's the waitlist like?
Some inaccuracies - you can turn the car off via the screen. You can switch through drive modes using * button on steering wheel. You can use voice commands to set temperature and fan speed should you so wish. Charging in 30 mins 10 to 80% Apart from that all good 👍
Hi Martin, I think you've left this comment under the wrong video, I'm guessing you were just watching the MG4 XPOWER review we posted today?
@@BuckleUpShow sorry - my mistake
Have a 4x4 duster from new, changed a back light bulb, that's it in 10yrs, always serviced. Looking at the jogger as its replacement.
If only they did a 4x4 Jogger
Could you comment of 'performance' with 1.0 engine and big car, if there is any? :)) I have a friend with a 1.5 Hyundai Tucson and he complains about it being gutless. (That said, riding in a 3 cylinder 1.0 Fiesta seemed quite punchy).
It's a big car but you must remember it's not a heavy car, it's only 1200kg and with 200 nm or torque it does alright, obviously you lose a bit of the pep when it's fully loaded but it will hold motorway speeds without issue
How did you get that economy figure? I have had a one litre Jogger for the same time as you and it averages 49 to 55 mpg in local use. I drove back from Liverpool to Cambridge yesterday (one up) and got 64mpg! I calculate consumption by measuring fuel used, rather than using the trip computer and originally I thought the odometer was vastly overreading but it turned out to be pretty much bang on. As with yours, nothing has gone wrong, but the driving experience is fairly average (but not bad by any means). Since I bought it purely for its practicality and I have another car for fun, I don't care very much about the driving dynamics anyway. It replaced a BMW 225XE which was literally twice the price, not much better to drive, and far less practical. The Jogger is one of the best vehicles (not in quality, but to live with) that I have ever owned and I will probably replace it with another if it's still available.
I have a heavy right foot
Thinking of buying one
*in the voice of emperor Palpatine* Do it
I have 1.0 110hp expression @21000km. I mounted LPG kit CANGAS brand.I really peleased ovning him.Three adults, my 14 yrs old son and full baggage all to gether go to our country side home at all summer weekends. never upset us.
It's a good old bus
24.8 is smiles per gallon, the way we all should live :)
I had a Ford country squire that could do that on a gentle drive and you could probably fit you mates car in the back :) lovely 5.0 V8 couch :) I did smile a lot when i owned it :)
That's lovely but I said I had got over 40 mpg on average, this is my car not my mates and it wouldn't fit in the back of a country squire
@@BuckleUpShow I was referencing what your pal said, sure he said he got 24.8mpg.
Was just a light hearted comment hence the :).
Tha ks for the review
Oh gosh I completely forgot about that, I'm sorry. It's even bigger than mine though (Kia Stinger GTS) so we're still gonna struggle on the boot, maybe we could get Jasper's Audi TT in 😅
@@BuckleUpShow ;)
Having some fabricated chair bottoms for the third row is a great idea. How's your DIY skills?
Good enough to make something that works, but not good enough to make something that would look nice
in the video harry said he didn't have a phone holder - check the removal panel in the boot on the right hand side - thats where I found mine!
It wasn't there when I looked in it the first day I bought the car and still isn't
@@BuckleUpShowI think they have limited the phone holder to the extreme version.
But you could 3d print one if you want. I've done it on mine 😅
Are the rear wheel cavities/body shape a dirt & crud collection point. Are you cleaning it out & do you consider it to be a possible rust point?
Had light build Renault 4tl years ago. Loved it but it became a rust bucket in a very short time due to salty air environment.
Not any more so than any other car, and the areas that collect dirt are mostly either entirely plastic or covered by plastic so I'm not any more worried about it than I would be of any other modern car, things have come a long way since the Renault 4
Walked in the dealership today. They have two in stock so pick mine up on Friday. However, just got a call from them to say mine is red flagged and can’t be registered until they carry out the work. Trouble is they can’t tell me what’s required. And it affects both cars they have.
Could they say how long the work will take?
@@BuckleUpShow They don’t know. I’ve looked on the forums and there was a steering issue and gearbox and clutch issue. But that was late last year / early this year. They are awaiting info from Dacia HQ. I have been visiting the dealership on and off for 10 years and they couldn’t believe I had finally taken the plunge and gone for one. Only to find they can’t sell it to me yet :-)
Dealership rang yesterday. No recall after all so will pickup next week.
Does anyone have these strange dents in the Backdoor? In the corners of the licence plate indentation ?
No?
I rented the Dacia Sandero 2023 diesel model recently and it was very very good.
The petrol is even better
@@BuckleUpShow I think the diesel has more torque and goes very quickly, probably faster than the petrol, in the first 30-50 mph. I could be wrong though because I did not compare.
Well they don't offer the diesel in the UK, but in the old one and in the Duster it's hideously agricultural. It also only had 90 ps and only 20 nm of torque more than the petrol engine in this so the in-gear shove would be marginal.
I like the channel but can't get an imperial system, please use metric in subs for example. 43 MPG -> 6 l/100km. Great review anyway
I'll try and remember too, if you want to think even less of the imperial system you'll be pleased to hear we actually buy our fuel in litres, we just measure the economy in gallons 🙃
i bought a virtually new Duster 1.0 dual fuel about ayear ago and its been ok. i hope to keep it as longas i drive and i'm 62 now . i do about 6000 miles a year and i don;t thrash it but i don't hang around . i like using LPG. 80p a litre at morissons & 33mpg . Petrol is 45mpg .Only issues i have are electrical, The fuel warning light has appeared twice for no reason and the tyre pressure light came on in hot weather for no reason Tyre were8 psi overinflted by the main dealer? The drivers door sealing rubber has split down a seam, grrr!. Sometimes the carplay doesn't connect but this could be my ohone or the lead ?. The car has been ok but then i would expect a new car to be .
The car play always worked with my Huawei which many systems didn't like, though it's noticeably better with my new phone so it might be phone related
I have a 2016 Dacia Logan. My next car will be a Jogger. Nothing has ever gone wrong with my Logan which is why I keep delaying buying a Jogger. Why mess with perfection. Anyway, the Jogger will be my next buy.
The Jogger is more spacious, refined and faster
Just come back from France in ours. 1800m, no problems, comfortable!
I'm assuming m means miles and you didn't travel just under 2 kilometers from Belgium?
Got my Jogger extreme since half octobre 2022. Put on around 20.000 miles. I got the LPG version and average around 35 MPG. Has been running flawlessly. All good, but Dacia after sales service is awfull. They even blocked me on social media 🙂
What was the complaint that got you blocked?
Considering the hybrid. It’s €35,000 here in Ireland though! 😮
Is it not tempting to buy it in Wales and take a ferry back, or is that a missive pain for registering the car
@@BuckleUpShow yeah they fuck you over on the VRT (vehicle registration tax). It’d be slightly cheaper but not worth it.
Is the difference in purchase price also down to tax?
@@BuckleUpShow yup.
Well at least you can console yourself every night safe in the knowledge you don't live in a country stupid enough to do Brexit
Dacia sold a camper kit to the jogger and can convert it in a little caravan for a weekend😊
Caravan is a stretch, it's more like the world's fastest bedframe
Love the “authentic” feel in this video, other reviews just seem so scripted and copy and paste, thank you.
Thank you
I have had one for year and a half only got 5500 miles on clock only thing wrong so far is a slow puncture more the happy with it
Glad to hear it
Please do your oil change at maximum 10.000 miles. 6000 ideally. This will prolong your engine's life by a lot.
I know, it's on a service plan
@@BuckleUpShow On the continent, it's close to 30.000 Km (18.000 miles) which is too much. Enjoy your car
I have an 18 year old Toyota Prius which still does between 43-60+ mpg depending on terrain. I'd be pretty disappointed to get a new hybrid in 2023 and only get 40mpg.
This isn't a hybrid?
@@BuckleUpShow Whoops, my bad. I was looking at reviews of the hybrid version and must have strayed!
Well good news, we have a hybrid review going up this weekend, and it does return 50 mpg
You use your car for your 2 mile drive into work??
I maybe exaggerated, the most direct route is 4 miles and the fastest one was 6.5, or more accurately was, I now live a 10 minute walk from work so the car won't be getting used for commuting
@@BuckleUpShow ah, i see
I can't get over 40mpg in mine and drive in eco 😭 don't even rag it either
That’s some going! Harry isn’t exactly known for his economical driving
Hi, do You have any issue with tailgate? They tend to deform due some design issues. This is mine over 4000 km done czcams.com/video/fH-2ZNc35Tk/video.html. I here also very silent noise from gearbox like whistling when You are decelerate on 5yh,6th gear from 120 km/h. In general is really good car, I've got version with LPG onboard, You basicly run for free :) and it's very ecological fuel.
No my tailgate is fine, no abnormal gearbox noise either
@@BuckleUpShow lucky then, nevertheless I would buy it again.
I would not call the Jogger a big MPV, I would call is a small MPV but a clever and spacious one a big MPV is a Ford Galaxy had my Jogger about the same time as you only done 5000 miles its going back at the end of the month reason being that Dacia / Renault failed to fix- Catalytic converter replaced twice still has an issue, Electric handbrake fails often, engine is underpowered and windows on rear leak in heavy rain, Gearbox getting worse with age and now is very rubbery wont allow you to reverse on a slope, I like the car but its issues have just put me off the car because the Dealerships are useless at repairing stuff 1st time around and their service is Lacking. We are getting a Skoda instead which was our first choice , we should have stuck with that as this Jogger has visited the dealership 9 times in the last 7 months. As my good friend said to me you get what you pay for BTW I never got a phone holder in my car either but like you I would never use it
We it fits seven six footers, yes it's a b segment platform but it's not like a Jazz or a C-Max it's a proper people carrier
Loads in France. Lots of lpg!
How was the economy on it
My DJ Extreme after first 6 weeks done 5600km. I like this car, it is not perfect but for daily use is enought end it is relly economic car. For example 1600km fully loaded (with 6 people + box on the roof) there was consumed 9l LPG/100 km. During daily use there is 7,8-8,2l LPG/100km.
Didn't DJ Extreme make a collaboration with Aqua?
Ofcourse you're a bassist, hello fellow chonky mullet wearing bassist who loves a Dacia
Are we a type?
@@BuckleUpShow we are now 😂
1 star Euro NCAP
As you can see from this video I'm actually killed three times a week in accidents when driving this car
Caused almost entirely by a lack of indicators on the dashboard about the very back seatbelts not being put on by passengers. If you shout at the passengers in the very back seats to put on their seatbelts it is not a problem.
Based on Dacia Sandero not the Jogger. Also downgraded for not having fancy electronics. You pay twice as much for your fancy stars?
hope you like it. you should, beacause you re not Romanian. Us, the Romanians, are receiving the same product with the worst quality you could get. Double standard, like in the old communist times
That's outrageous, they should be taking pride in their products for their home market
Great car, but this review was useless. No good information here
I'll help you out, this is an ownership update, which isn't a review, the review can be found here czcams.com/video/LDCWQbz5v3E/video.htmlsi=_GG_bWZuR-XOAdAN
Now thats a car you buy when youve given up on life.
I'll be thinking about you as I drive a Cayman GTS tomorrow 😘
Naah, that's people who drive vw's
Better than the 100k miles 5 series I was looking at for the same money. I'd say it's the smart option.
Coming from BMW's and Audi's, i highly disagree. It's a different car, super practical, sturdy, cheap to maintain, run, super spacious. I use it as a trip car and a camper hauler and 25k km in, could not imagine a better price/value car with a 5 year warranty. There is no class in a bmw if you have to spend your time in a shop once a month with it )
So jogger is quite good. But for £18k or £235/month I can have a 4 year old 60k miles merc e220d estate. Apart from being mistaken for a minicab, I reckon the merc is a better car. Prove me wrong! 😁
You should never buy a used luxury car on the basis it will be a cheap runabout, things will go wrong and have Mercedes prices on the parts
War ran tee
Indeed. The Jogger will categorically be cheaper to run.
A reviewer was complaining about his leg rubbing off console. Your experience?
I'm pretty weird and demanding when it comes to footwell width, and the Jogger doesn't bother me ever
Take up some real life jogging would be my advice , before its too late lol
Do you feel like a big strong man now? Does this help take away the pain you feel from being bullied as a child?
is it possible to "chip" the car and make it stronger?
To make it more more powerful yes, but you'll probably blow up the engine and void the warranty so not really worth it
why do you look like this?
You been on the sauce Mike?
no but you look like you crawled out of a wheelie bin after a night on the sauce@@BuckleUpShow
