Looking for a great value supermini that has enough room to seat five adults and offers low running costs too? Be sure to take a look at the range of new Dacia Sandero cars available at Pentagon right now. This stylish city runabout is renowned for its build quality and reliability, while the 320 litres of boot space and split rear seats ensure it is highly flexible and incredibly practical for everyday use.

Hello! I am a fleet manager for a living, I do not own one of these cars but I am invited to days hosted by car manufacutres and have had some hands on driving experience on the open roads in France in the Duster, Sandero and Logan.
They have been hugely popular in France and with employees in our French deivision. I would say they all remind me, except the Duster of say low and medium spec Renaults and Citreons that were about in the late 1990's - early 2000's.
They drive OK, nothing like Fiesta or anything else remotely modern. They are a bit thin and noise insulation is not great. Seats are not all that thick nor are they comfy for long drives, but the if your getting out of a 2001 Astra, you will probably not notice. Do you see what I mean?
They are cheap and simple, I would not say they were crude and certainty not un-driveable as regular use cars. Take the Suzuki Jimny, it is crude and rather awful drive on the road, the Dacias are not like that.
The point I would raise which is that if you want really basic transport and want it new then these tick those boxes. However, by British driving expectations I would of thought a used example of another car would be much better.
The Duster is actually bit agricultural to drive but I can see the appeal if you want something between a Defender (for road manners) and 2002 Rav4 for the inside. Probably the pick of the lot IMO.
The Logan estate....if you ever drove the 306 Estate or MK3 Astra estate, you will sort of know what this is like.

Aren't these normally £5999 brand new and unregistered? £500 off for pre-Reg isn't worth it. Should be more like £4999

No not the base model.
This has electric windows, central locking, body coloured bumpers and a stereo just to name a few extras.
As a long term second car this is a deal. If you can service it yourself and can follow a Haynes manual then there is no reason this couldn't last you 10-12 years.
It will become the go anywhere car. Supermarket Friday evening, Tip on a Sunday morning, camping.

No, this is the mid-range Ambiance. So the RRP is £6,795. The extra warranty is worth £395. Dacia dealers often don't discount so £1,695 off for a pre-reg is a great price on an already cheap car.

Nothing to stop anyone trying to negotiate a better price for themselves. In fact everyone shoud try, and also try to bargain for those 'extras'to be free. If you don't like the price, walk away and try another dealer.

Got one.does what it says on the tin.Don't expect a fantastic car but a reliable well built value for money car.So happy our daughter bought one and has done over 30000 in less than 2 years and never missed a beat or anything went wrong. Three year warranty ,no mots or tyres to replace a no brainer. :smiley:

Anybody who was really a Fleet Manager would not misspell 'Citroen'.
Sounds like you are from Fantasy Island.
I assume you work for Dacia.

Ah I deleted my earlier comment by mistake!
Anyway, seems these sell for around £3000 at 3 years old. So £2500 for 3 years to get you around. Around £70 per month. Not bad even compared to leasing.
