Duster was a Ruster

3 weeks after buying this brand new car I noticed signs of rust whilst washing it. I have since rejected the car and returned it to the dealer and received a full refund.

Plus Points - It was very spacious and the suspension was a good balance between comfort and absorbing potholes etc. Boot was large visibility seemed decent.

Negative - The 1.6 petrol engine is really not up to the job and there's lots of engine, road and wind noise once you get up to about 50mph. Struggled to overtake on motorways or drive up hills. Seats are not padded enough to be comfortable on a long journey. The factory fitted Kenwood radio & speakers were the worst I've heard since my old E-Reg Micra. Entry model is really too spa***, there's not even a mirror in the sun visor !

Obviously the rust is the worst thing and the paint / finish seems poor in many places..sorry Dacia just not good enough even for a budget motor.
