Test Drive Dacia Sandero since 2008 Hatchback

Who is new?

Are you amazed by high prices for gasoline? Dacia comes to the rescue with its super-cheap car. Inexpensive Sandero is a weighing cause of passion in the class of economical cars. This is where it needs to be compared with such pets as VW Polo, Skoda Fabia, Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Getz. Surrounded by opponents, the new Dacia Sandero decided to crawl into the class of compact cars. Let's see if the Romanian Gnombic can resist strong competition
Recently, there is some kind of explosion at prices, and everywhere. This applies to rental apartments, utility payments, gasoline and insurance. And some kind of man in the street is rejoiced when she accidentally finds a new way to save money. Namely, when Dacia Sandero appears in the European market for only 7.500 euros! Agree, the price is funny to disgrace. Cheaper in Europe is nothing and still can not yet. Phenomenally, but is it like a good car in comparison with such known as Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Getz? Or with champions of this class Skoda Fabia and VW Polo? In 3 test stages, we get to the truth.
Dacia Sandero does not look kill or cheap
A small jog around the car. No, nothing in this car does not look like, and there is nothing to go. This car does not look like an economy model. Inside, too, everything looks great, and in the top version of LauraTe (for 10,000 euros), the salon will also shine aluminum glitter. A pleasant feeling in front is not closely and full of space to wave shoulders. The trunk is also nothing (from 320 to 1.200 liters). But the back is very inconvenient to sit here solely for thin and small person. In this case, Fabia is much better and manifests special flexibility in everything.
Polo typical feeling of a VW representative
Typical feeling in VW: Materials that are nice to touch, the covering forever, the ideal security system. All is well, but the equipment is terrible. Even for the happiness, do not turn the oars, and press the glasses of the glasses should be quenched by 121 euros. But here and Chevrolet Aveo Nasta with Hyundai Getz neither a drop is no better. Both candidates for basic configuration sat on a diet. It is nice that Aveo has a radio receiver in the initial version.
Smart Getz is endowed with 97 hp, on the highway it is possible to accelerate to 190 km / h (lucky to the Germans-Top. Ed.). But then the Korean is not for what to praise bad depreciation, an insensible steering, ESP system for an additional 600 euros. Worse only Chevrolet Aveo, which can be dangerous in general. Especially, with full loading, its braking path is equal to 42.2 meters! A little better Romanian candidate, which at least keeps the course stability is quite decent. But its braking path, one way or another, is 41.6 meters. By the way, the brakes were never distinguished by normal quality from Dacia. In this paragraph, representatives of the VW Skoda Fabia and VW Polo concern are distinguished. In this candidates, the difference is small, because they have a common filling.
For 6 points, the battle wins Skoda Fabia. Only in one point Fabia is a little inferior, namely in comfort when driving.
Verdict
Nevertheless, Skoda Fabia wins. Fully places, excellent safety and lower price, compared with almost identical VW Polo. At the bottom of the list, Chevrolet Aveo and Hyundai Getz remain. It is not enough for the car to be just cheap when there is not enough security and comfort. Most of all, however, surprises Dacia Sandero: just, solid and record cheap. In this regard, competition is resting completely. Cons of this car stupid brakes and ESP. But this car will make thinking of many buyers and manufacturers is now open a new price range.
