Dacia 1310 Reviews - Page 3 of 4

Well...of course as you can see, I'm from Romania and maybe I can't be objective, but everything what gone wrong whit the car was easy and cheap to fix even for a Romanian, about 90% from repairs I made, I didn't use a service workshop!The max amount summa for repairs in all these years is under 2000$...20 years!!!

This is not a sport car... but if you are interested you change your carburetor whit a double one and you might have some performance... of course you will use around 20l/100Km fuel.

Very cheap and reliable!

Not so comfortable.

You might have problems whit the heat in winter.

No real problems experienced with this car.

Very cheap car, but you will get a performance car if you buy one.

Engine coolant started leaking, but I've found out it's a common problem of this model.

Trunk fails to lock, needing some effort.

The bodywork has some annoying vibrations at certain speeds.

It is a good car, fast, comfortable, but a little too light for the engine.

The engine and gearbox are excellent, probably the best parts of the car.

The suspensions need to be stiffer, because at high speeds the car is unstable, and if you drive a little spoty, you could have some unexpected surprises.

The interior is comfortable, well finished, but a little too "dark" for my taste.

In conclusion, it is good for a small, quiet family, but if you want some real performance a little tuning is needed.

Almost everything.

The spare parts are cheap, but this will never make me buy another model of this car.

I changed the disc brakes three times (in warranty - which is limited to 10.000 km or one year) because it vibrated and the people from Dacia told me the reason is the cold water on rainy days.

The bodywork starts to become damaged after only 2 years.

It is a bad car!

I will never buy such a car.

The main problem with this car was the gearbox. Although it has been repaired several times it makes strange sounds, especially when the first speed is selected.

Small problems with ignition - easily fixed.

The left rear shock absorber needed to be replaced.

This car is based on a completely obsolete technology and it has very blocky shapes. The cabin is almost bare, but the seats are quite comfortable.

No attention to finish details and the paint is very thin.

Reliability was quite good for a 3500$ car. Also the spare parts are very cheap and easy to find.

I had to do a lot of welding to the floor and around the joints.

I had trouble replacing the exhaust as they are not listed in any manufacturers catalogue in England.

The brakes let me down when they got stuck on and caused a fire on the rear hub which in turn made the rear wheel explode in flames.

I found the car cheap to run, but at high speeds the canvas roof made a deafening noise with the rattling of the clips.

I solved the rattling roof by applying a layer of foam matting below the canvas, this also helped to keep the heat in during winter.

The seats were like sitting in an arm chair, everyone that sat in the car found them to be comfortable.
