2002 Dacia Double Cab 4x4 review from Romania
"The perfect low-cost, diesel, high-capacity off-road car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little (but a lot of) things that were repaired quickly and without financial effort:
Small electrical parts.
Usable mechanical parts.
Door adjustments, etc...
General comments?
Very good engine performance.
Quite low fuel consumption.
Very good off-road performance for its class when used with 4x4 traction.
Very poor performance in difficult road conditions when the 4x4 is off.
Needs new tires for good off-road performance (especially in winter), as the original ones are not fitted for this.
Can carry a lot of materials (>1000kg).
Very robust to use on bad roads.
A little tight on the back seats.
