    Dacia easily. Shame the price has shot up so much but it’s all the necessary benefits of a new Clio without the ‘impersonation’ of a plush interior and creaky extra decor

      ​@@FrenchBulldogsCantSpeakFrenchtheir crash rating is 2 stars because of the lack of pedestrian safety systems, but if you crash in a dacia you have just as much chance of a survival as if you crashed in a renault clio

    Renault dynamics do the Dacia a lot of good. And it’s the biggest, quickest and most comfortable. No real contest. (I haven’t watched to the end yet.) Unfortunately there are so many much better second hand cars on sale for £14,000.
    My daily is a €2000 S-Class. That leaves £12,000 for running costs…

    I immediately noticed in the Aygo the audio quality go down, there’s a tinny echo in the car probably due to less sound insulation. Theoretically, the Aygo is in a class below the other two which would explain that but the price doesn’t reflect it theoretically being an A-segment vehicle rather than B.

      Used car finance rates are insane. You may as well buy new if you want a newer vehicle.

      You can always make that argument. But used cars have less warranty (whats covered degrades year on year) if any at all, you don’t know the wear and tear and most importantly come with more expensive part replacement costs when stuff goes wrong.

    The Citroen’s huge downfall that nobody mentions, is that although they’ve almost matched the Dacia Sandero on price, their finance rates are incredibly high. The C3 is 13.9% APR! The Dacia is 7.9%. That makes an enormous difference on monthly payments. The Dacia is still miles ahead of the pack in terms of value for money.

      We do cover that at the end of the video! 11.9% APR for that version of the C3 at the time of filming.

      @whatcar  sorry, I do know that you mentioned it. I’m just saying that in general, few mention this. Bravo that you did! I currently have a 72 plate Dacia on 5.9%. I managed to bag that car in the nick of time! If I got the same car today it’s £100pm more (my deposit was £2700).

      Financing a car is a stupid way to get rid of your money. If you can pay XXX each month for a loan, you also could have saved it as you obviously don’t need it.
      Cash is king, and if you don’t have the money just buy a cheap 2ndhand car.

    Dacia’s facelift for the Sandero removed the six speed gearbox, replacing it with a five speed. They also swapped Media Nav (with built-in satnav and wireless Apple CarPlay) with Media Display that has no satnav and requires a USB cable for CarPlay. The Sandero in the former top of the range Comfort specification of 2020/21/22 was much better value than the Expression of late 2022 onwards. £13245 on the road in May 2022 and great value then.

    I spent a lot of time in an aygo X last year as my Suzuki Swift Sport was in for a lot of work (service leading to seized calipers leading to clutch going, leading to someone hitting it) things I can say is it has a playful chassis, fuel economy is good regardless of what I do with the accelerator, tech was basic (just how I like it, less distractions), but it was a noticeable difference in power. I joke that the swift is slow but this was another level.

    This straightforward review of the boot capacity was refreshing to see. It’s helpful to have a standard reference point, like the cabin suitcases that everyone can relate to and use for comparison. This is much more useful than just a random number for boot capacity, especially when a 30-40L difference might not actually mean room for an extra bag due to the interior shapes

    Wish we could get the Dacia over on this side of the world but unfortunately I live in the land of single people thinking they NEED a 7 passenger SUV or some bro thinking he might get a trailer at some unspecified point in time in the future so gets a full size full cab pickup. The cheeky Sandero would be dead in the water as soon as it landed.

    I travelled from Bulgaria to Germany and back in the Dacia Logan (sedan version of the Sandero). The car is a bit noisy, fact, but the seats are superb. Back support is top notch.
