1999 Dacia Nova GT review from Romania
"The only chance to buy a new car with $3000!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch broke after 300 km (it lacked a small device since fabrication). It was replaced at no cost (under warranty).
Leaking under the windshield.
It didn't start during winter on a couple of occasions.
The front seats make an annoying sound when driving on bumpy roads.
It 'drinks' a lot of gas when driven in the city.
General comments?
The best one can get at this price (~3000$ - new).
Nice start from a standing point and very stable at high speeds including in curves.
The engine doesn't run smoothly all the time.
Very good brakes.
