Thread: Dacia Sandero Access 1.2 16V 75 first drive review

The cheapest Dacia Sandero - indeed the cheapest new car on sale - offers plenty of appeal, but it's hard to consider it a rival for the likes of the Ford FiestaIts full name is the Dacia Sandero Access 1. 2 16V 75, but in simpler terms it is the base model in the budget range, priced at 5995. This particular model breaks through that budget cap via the addition of a 250 stereo and 50 spare wheel, but neither should detract from our first opportunity to sample this headline-grabbing base model. That means that it only comes in United Nations-spec white with black bumpers, 15-inch steel wheels and with a mainly no-frills approach to standard kit. In basic terms everything you need is here, plus you get ABS, ESC, traction control, ISOFIX, power steering, split-folding rear seats, a drivers airbag, side airbags, an immobiliser and an audible warning if you leave the lights on. The list isnt generous, but nor is it needlessly sparse. The only likely gripe of real substance is the absence of an adjustable steering column.
