These are the kind of cars non car enthusiasts are wanting, the cheap cheerful simple daily run around. Well done for reviewing it.

Just bought the Dacia Spring extreme version with a whooping 65hp, cant wait for it. I think this car its ideal to have it as second car to do short trips. It really has a lot to offer for the extreme low price it has. Very well done Dacia !

[TommyBoay]

This car has been tailing the Tesla Model 3 as best selling EV in France for quite some time now.

An honest review, thank you. I currently drive a Spring as a replacement car from the Dacia dealer. My experience largely matches this review. A no-nonsense car that takes you from A to B without any frills.

[briangriffiths]

Much better performance than I would have expected from only 45 HP and ideal for towns and suburban driving.

[krisvandermeulen]

There is always a market for these cars. Dacia made an image of more basic but affordable cars unlike some basic yet still higher priced competitors.

4:30 Police speed trap. You most likely will not get a speeding ticket in this car. If you do, most people will not believe you.

I drove one for two months. Outstanding great little car for the price !

Thanks for reviewing the car, this is actually a car that most people can afford and seems to serve well as a second car. I watched your other videos and they five me a proper idea how it is to drive an electric car in mainland Europe. (most YouTubers that speak in English are US/UK/... focussed)

Great every day car. Essentially no maintenance, no gas to pay. It's comfortable, quiet. Only criticism is the crash test scores which are poor. Would have been nice to see you test in an urban setting. Still, very nice review.

I have the updated version of this, Android Auto for me, also has Apple Car Play. Absolutely love it. I love gadgets but honestly it has everything I need. Comfortable to drive, and as our speed limit here in France is 110 kmph not much interest in going any faster. It has not a lot of space in the back, but the dog doesn't care. Good room in the boot for my shopping and if I need to shop more can drop the seats down. Does the job on our country lanes as well. Very happy with my decision.

12 k€ in France, perfect for most people who have two cars, especially in rural areas since it is often easy to install a plug at home to charge the car. In cities, the best "second car" is public transportation! You could have connect your phone to the car screen, I think most users will do that instead of trying to use the car's GPS. My mother live in the countryside and have an ICE Twingo because a Zoé was "to big" for her, but this car would have been far better than her ICE Twingo and even cheaper, and the range is far far enough for her needs, not to mention the relief not to have to go to the gas station, a far more difficult task than plugin at home when you are 78 years old.

[dlittlester]

It would probably do well for me. I don't need the speed, and the pick up on this one is quite near what my petrol car is with 106 HP.

[TassieEV]

Definitely challenged that car, being a city car primarily would get much more range in city driving at maybe max 60km/h. Cheap & cheerful basically. Will be interesting what they do with the next-gen version. Nice to see a basic car not a gaming console or iPad on wheels.

[fusion]

There is a video of a guy from Romania (?) who drove about 40 kilometers on 0%. They put in a really large bottom buffer in this car

[JorgeniLund]

I liked this one. Driving should be fun, you had fun. Nice.

[J.J._Mason]

Love this car, hope it comes to the UK, I’d buy one in a heartbeat

[wermagst]

No heated seats is a no-go for me, especially in cars with a small battery/range.

[tumininuadebambo]

to make steering tighter you should change those thin tyres to bigger wider for more grip. im looking out to see who will do this. i want to know the response

[electzro]

Nice, you managed to put your hands on it :)
