"If you want air-conditioning...sorry, no."

All Dacias have a/c as a standard now. Say what you want about Dacias, but they are also cars that are needed. The people who buy these cars can't or won't spend more than 10k € on a car, and Dacia is offering them a new car for that price, with the most basic features available.

James May: GREAT NEWS!

Jeremy Clarkson: What?

James May: THE DACIA SANDERO...

48 MPG, "not massively fuel efficient".

As an American, this is more efficient than 98% of the cars here.

In romania a taxi drver made with his dacia 1 milion km

I tested my Sandero from Ireland to Romania, and back, that was around 6500km ....the car was fully loaded with everything... 0.9 litre engine.... 1 full tank of petrol, around 900km range at 100-110 km/h ... it is a really reliable car...very effiency with low cost of maintenance....I drive it every day and I am very happy with it....of course, is a cheap car so dont ask for high luxury comfort or something like this....is has nav, cruise control, electric windows, AC, parking sensors...what can you ask for more in this price ??

I had a used one that i bought when i was 17 in france for 3650 £ in an auction and i drove it 5 days a week for 3 years and sold it for 4300 £ it had AC and some other featurs and best of all it stil got me laid

150000+ kilometers in a non-base model Sandero, the only things we had to change were the oil, the tyres+wheels and the brakepads. It's not a luxury car by any means, but damn is it durable and reliable.

I have been riding a Dacia Sandero for 11 years and have never had any problems. Dacia is really the best value.

Dacia needs to make a James May edition with a stripy jumper style pattern on the seats.And Good News badge on the back..

"So who would actually buy a Dacia Sandero"
1. James May
2. Cap'n Slow
3. That british guy that did a car show with Amazon

[morcputer]

For me As a dual-student with a low income it's the perfect car. It does what it should do. Drive from a to b.

5:05 This guy says "my heart" and points at kidneys.

[SamanthaGuttesen]

Exactly, cheap doesn't mean nasty. Tell a badge snob who drives the 15 year old audi just for the name

[alxnd_r]

This is the basic version and thats why there is no AC. Anyway my father got a Sandero in 2008 and he is still driving it. It does the job around the city and some close trips. 300k mileage and it still runs fine. I also know a guy with 2007 logan who is perfectly happy with it and he could own a much more expensive car. For people who dont care this is the perfect choice. Just dont get the basic version.

This car is more complete than the cheapest cars in Brazil. Here in Brazil the basic cars do not have basic items like electric windows. They cost a fortune to have engine, four wheels and nothing else.

My mom would, it's comfortable and cheap, it's a good car

[BudzyFoxMX]

Bring these cars to the United States. They'd sell quickly. It's hard to find a decent used car with under 100, 000 miles for less than
