"Lemon... totally a piece of garbage"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Broken (cracked) camshaft after 2000 Km. This lead to engine totally failure, which needed replacement.

Steering problems (the steering mechanism was leaking) at 5800 km.

Plastics squeaking.

Electrical problems, the battery went dead. Problems with the alternator.

General comments?

I thought it is a good deal but the car is a lemon. It is badged by Renault, and, as reliability IT IS A RENAULT. Failed at only 2000 Km! My previous Opel Astra G from 1998 had 280000 Km when I gave it away, and never let me in the middle of the road all this time.

Dacia... by Renault. A typical east European junk, made by cooperation with the junk maker Renault... a garbage. The only thing I like to this car is that it is simple. The quality inside is BAD, reminds me of Russian LADA. Instead of Dacia I would buy a Skoda Octavia or Fabia if it is for an East European car. At least Skoda is by Volkswagen not by Renault. Totally failure car.

I am not sure you really are a Logan owner.

And even if you really are a Logan owner you were just unlucky. I know many people that have 100 000+ km with their Logans and no major problems.

Normally your problem is covered by warranty, so by now you should have a fully functional car. There is no need for so much anger.

Regarding VW reliability don't get me started...

Just read the Passat and Polo reviews.
