“The headline £5,995 pricetag of the no-frills Access model is tempting, but the £1,000 extra the Ambiance commands adds in essential kit such as air-con, electric front windows and even a DAB radio with Bluetooth. That makes it the real bargain in the range.”

“If you’re considering one of the more expensive Dacia Sandero options, then you’ll have to buy carefully. The basic model makes sense, as its adequate capabilities suffice given its price, but the higher-specification models have to compete with highly polished and well-developed acts.”

“In reality, the biggest rival for the Sandero remains the various used cars you can buy for the same money.”

“The appeal of the Dacia Sandero lies in its simplicity and its honesty. It’s not trying to be fashionable, the best to drive or the highest quality, but what it does offer is heaps of space and plenty of equipment for very little money.”

“The Dacia Sandero is one of the cheapest cars on sale in the UK. The Ford Ka+, Volkswagen Up and Hyundai i10 rival it on price, but the Sandero is bigger than all of them.”

“We always say that any car is a good car if it’s cheap enough, and on that score the Dacia Sandero is an absolutely brilliant car. Yes, it’s flawed in terms of its interior quality, its refinement and its level of luxury and safety equipment, but it’s good at plenty of other stuff, and at these prices, there can be no complaints.”

“It’s easy to forgive the Dacia Sandero’s shortcomings. Even if you skip the headline-grabbing model and opt for something pricier it still represents excellent value for money, with all the features most drivers could ask for, plus low running costs and plenty of practical space. It’s a real bargain.”

“Compared to more well known models, the Dacia Sandero is a passable car. It lacks polish and feels a little old fashioned, but if you add the low prices it offers it’s easy to forgive its flaws. Add to that some inexpensive finance deals and the Sandero makes a compelling case for itself.”
