And priced sensibly enough that if it dies at 7 years and scrap it will still be cheaper than paying the high price of mainstream, which are increasingly laden with guff that many of us strive to avoid if possible.
Prime example being the credit card key on Renaults, when the central locking packs up or the key buttons break you've had it unless you want to stump up £hundreds, but an old fashioned car with central locking and a real key/keyholes you simply take the cnetral fuse out and revert to manual locking.
Huge radio all linked to the cars computer, no thanks, i'm quite happy to stick a £50 Sony in thats actually better than the OE in most. Automatic radio muting bluetooth? i'm not that gaga that i can't turn the radio down and press the button on me headset to speak.
I'm going to be watching the Dacia Duster with interest, seeing a few out and about now.
