A white one with a 898cc engine and no air con comes mid October. It's an estate car built in Romania called a Logan MCV. I had a test drive and enjoyed it very much. My only option is the 7 year warranty. Trading in a Mercedes ML270 (reliability shocking) or might ebay the Merc to a dreamer.

made with renault bits in romania :whistle:

Good News, the dealer offered me £1595 for the old Merc. Within 30 seconds of posting the ebay price was £1595 (my reserve).
My EOS is in at the main dealer to have the abs repair kit fitted today. VW designed the brake pressure sensor into the pump itself. These sensors fail and the whole pump has to come out and be fixed (a £900 fix). If your VW has the ESP light on all the time it's worth taking it to a main dealer as they do the fix for free (rubbish design in the first place, VW want it kept off Watchdog) - Egbert Nosh's top tip for the day.

Well the Spaniards are buying these Logans in droves due to the way commercial vehicles are taxed they use them as load luggers.
I think they start at £7k new too? Mental.

And that shows JUST what you know. ;)
Anyone that's driven a few Micras know that those CVT boxes with a 1.3 engine makes for a bloody nippy thing off the line. Albeit to about 15MPH. :grin:

Merc sold. 900 quid over trade in. That's less than the extended warranty for 7 years on the Logan MCV. Happy motoring. If I want to go fast I've got other cars to do that in. No car worries on the Dacia until 2021; that will do me.

Sounds great man. Does the warranty cover labour to?
-
Yep, labour all in. Over 7 years I'll save enough to buy a Nissan Gt-R

You have some serious car issues if a 7 year warrenty will save you £70k...
what do you drive atm, a nuclear sub?!

A single trident submarine costs £70,000 per hour to run so over 7 years I could afford 61,000 Nissan GT-Rs if I didn't have the sub.

Haha, forget the sub

Might just need the sub if the Jihad Jonnies save up enough to buy a nuke from the Russian mafia (or a very rich Arab country buys them one from Pakistan). They won't like a Trident up 'em you know.

Ffs. This is making me want a submarine.

Purchased. Now let's race that Logan of yours!

From the Auto Express review
"It may not be brilliant to drive or look at but the Dacia Logan MCV is the cheapest estate car on sale in the UK"
You...Cheapskate
"The downside of the headline-grabbing price is that you'll have to go without basic features such as electric windows, a radio and rear headrests unless you decide to choose them as options"
:shocked:
"the range-topping model in the Dacia Logan MCV line-up, the Laureate, weighs in at around £9,000 and feels a lot more like a small estate car from a mainstream brand"
:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
"Dacia fits top-spec Laureate models of the Logan MCV with electric windows front and rear, as well as Bluetooth phone connectivity, chrome air vent surrounds and some exterior satin trim."
:grin:
"The engineers at Dacia set-up their cars for developing markets"
:grin:
" It's worth noting though, that when loaded up with passengers and luggage, the Logan MCV feels pretty sluggish, even with its most powerful engines on board."
:grin:
"Dacia says 90 per cent of its customers are first-time new car buyers"

"The top-spec Laureate model gets a boot light"

Did you get the Laureate?????????

Ambiance for me, 8495 on the road. With Renault's 898cc turbo petrol. Mid range spec and mid range engine.
Should be a useful car, especially with the optional 7 year warranty and cheapo 3 year servicing contract. The money I save not keeping an old Mercedes ML on the road will be a bonus.
I bought my grandson a brand new Chevrolet Spark in March this year for 5500 and was impressed by what you got for the money, air con, bluetooth and the like. It also has a much better, smoother, ride than my old Mk5 Gti which got boring after a bit.
So the quest for cheap, good NEW cars began and I've finally twigged that I don't like riding around in a third hand premium brand that costs me the earth to keep going. Especially as these cheap cars seem to upset other motorists, which i quite like. :evil:

You found the wrong review Elvis. Here is one by Clarkson in which he award my new car ZERO stars...

-
And you actually chose to buy one?!?! :shocked:
-
And you actually chose to buy one?!?! :shocked:
Yes, I have more respect for the opinions of May and Hammond who both loved the car.
Clarksons also awarded zero points to the new 911 Carrera, the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, so I'm in good company.
And he wrote that the VW Golf GT 1.4 tsi was one of the five worst cars ever made!
-

No need to get personal.
Just because I do things differently to the herd.
And, unlike many on here, I do own a VW and bought a gti brand new.
So put that in your daft trolling cartoon hat and smoke it.

and you say i waste my money what about the 5500 you wasted on a chevy spark :laugh: :laugh:

We tested a VW UP before the spark. The spark was the better car, the UP was just too bouncy, and nearly twice as much money. So we got a good Korean car with lots of warranty for 5500.
The equivalent golf to the Logan is the base Golf estate S. They cost 18325 with an 85 bhp engine and no extras. But then you have to add VW's 650 on the road cost making a Golf S estate 19000. Mine is 8495.
Try before you buy is the motto. I wish I had tried the mk5 gti before I bought it for 19300. I wonder who owns it now? I doubt the VW main dealer told them about the substantial repair work after a lorry crashed into the back. Come to think about it the main dealer did not know either. The reg was YX08...
-

I would wager 95%+ on here own a VW :huh:
-
I think about 60% own a VW. Many have got rid.
-
I'm sorry, I don't understand this thread :undecided:
Has the OP just bought a substantial amount of Dacia shares and is trying to convert us to sell perfectly good cars and buy this Korean (? I presume) crap? Or just trying to justify a bad decision purely for a 7 year warranty?
I'm pretty sure decent second hand cars can be had for less, with the excess cash more than covering the potential repairs over a 7 year period :) Just saying.
-
I'm sorry, I don't understand this thread :undecided:
Very easy, a guy bought a car with his own money. But its not made by vw or a manufacturer owned by vw so the car gets the Wayne 'why have you bought a Peugeot beemer and rover' treatment.
-
I know a bloke who does alright for himself, not loaded but does well enough to buy his son's a 1.4 Petrol Golf MK6 some years back for £9K cash and gave his other son his MK6 Bluemotion and paid the 7.5K finance off so not exactly short of a few quid.
Had an X5 but swapped it for a Tiguan and has a 911 in the garage.
He's just bought a Fiat Panda as a run about because he likes them....
Can see why, cheap car with warranty just to chuck sh!t down the tip and the like and not worry about it.
-
I got a taxi ride from Haslach to Bahlingen in a Dacia tdi a distance of about 40k.
The driver was an old woman and she kept it on full boost throughout.
Was a fun drive in a horrid car which you would not have thought possible
-
Collected my Dacia yesterday. Blooming ACE.
Saved £12,500 over a new 85hp golf estate otr.
And my little 898 engine is hum dinger
Pleased as Punch

SMUG :grin:

did you just win a race with a milk float :laugh:

Still smug.

Good choice with the Logan. Of course it won't win any beauty contests and it's not cool, but it's a genuinely good deal. For the money, you can't buy anything else new. Happy motoring :smiley:

All the other cars are irrelevant, as he is fortunate enough to own a 911. That's why.

If my Grandad had bought me a new car when I was a lad I would've been made up!!

Funny thing is the Spark is worth more now than when we bought it.
