Dacia Sandero Specifications

The Scenic 75 is a decent engine, but its performance is hampered by long gear ratios

Based on similar underpinnings to the old Renault Clio, the Sandero is agile

The boot is certainly big, but it's not particularly clever, with nothing to secure any load you have in there

Most of the car's controls are easy to use and feel tough

As you would only expect at this price, the seats are soft, but not very supportive

There's much more room in the back of the Sandero than in the back of a similarly priced alternative

The boot is certainly big, but it's not particularly clever, with nothing to secure any load you have in there

Fold down the rear seats, and you have 1,200 litres of space, but...

...the seats don't leave a flat floor when they're folded down

There's actually a reasonable amount of storage space in the cabin

Our favourite engine is the 0.9 The petrol unit, which gives the best compromise between price and performance

The Sandero proves reasonably comfortable on a long journey

The diesel engine is the most economical unit in the range, but too expensive to make financial sense for most people
