Renault Daster. Reviews of owners, advantages and disadvantages of the model

Intending to purchase an inexpensive, but at the same time a fairly high-quality crossover, many are considering and Renault Daster. Reviews of the owners of these cars basically say that they are happy with the purchase.

Like any other European car, the Duster in the basic configuration is completely "empty" (it does not have air conditioning, or even electric windows), but the starting price is able to put all the competitors on the blades. Well, as in any European car, in Daster it is necessary to pay extra for each additional option, starting from the window regulators and air conditioning, finishing with mirrors in the color of the body, head restraints for all passengers and other trifles.

In addition to the poor basic equipment, Duster has a lot of shortcomings (with which his owners tolerate or "fight"). The first thing that catches your eye in the salon of an inexpensive Duster is a hard, frankly cheap plastic that does not please either the eye or the hand (it just does not feel like touching). Of course, in more expensive trim levels the situation is changing, but in fact someone buys Daster and in the "base" (at least for someone it is produced).

Next - comfort. The seats are quite comfortable, when driving on city roads it almost does not shake ("lying policemen" and small potholes Duster overcomes well). Acquiring a crossover, people tend to try it off-road (at least on a country road). Renault Daster, the complete set of which provides for four-wheel drive, off-road behaves, to put it mildly, not very well. First, it shakes terribly (especially from behind). Well, and secondly, it gets dirty in the slightest puddle.

As for the gluttony of engines, if we consider the various engines of Renault Duster, fuel consumption will be very different. Pleases the owners of this indicator diesel engine, which manages to be economical, even in the all-wheel drive version. Gasoline engine 1.6 is also not too gluttonous, but it is not very sharp either (especially if it is installed on the all-wheel drive version). But the two-liter engine consumes more than 10 liters in the city and hardly fits in the top ten on the track (and that only on mechanics, the automatic box, which is equipped with a two-liter version, consumes even more fuel).

It turns out that this car has a lot of flaws, but who then and why does Renault Duster get it? Reviews of owners about this car say that most of the shortcomings are compensated by its merits. Buyers of diesel versions of Duster colorfully describe the fuel economy, due to which he is forgiven and the rigidity of the suspension, and the cost of the car itself.

As for gasoline versions, especially on a full drive, the fuel consumption and dirty thresholds are forgiven by high landing, good visibility and amazing patency. No crossover will not pass where Renault Duster was not able to pass - reviews of owners of all-wheel drive versions are full of colorful descriptions of country trips and other extreme.

In general, those who have not been able to decide whether to buy or not Renault Duster, reviews of the owners of this crossover should definitely read. And only then decide whether to buy it or look for a crossover of another manufacturer.
