1999 Dacia Pickup from Costa Rica - Comments

Electrical, suspension, carburetor. It can go wrong at any time.

This car is based on a completely obsolete technology.

All these things are wrong, the car is very good, and it is perfect for a small business.

I think, if you want a good pickup for the Costa Rica mud roads. You shuld look at a more expensive alternative like a: Nissan, Toyota or Ford. By the way his car is made for roads of a much better quality. I am a farmer in England and my Dacia pickup really does a good job on a paved road.

I advice that evrybody hwo doesn't have a large sum of money and still want to buy a good pickup, should buy one. You should buy it at an authorized dealer.

Are you sure you're a UK farmer? My friend, your spelling is simply terrible! A pick-up Dacia WORKING in UK? 'got to see this with my own eyes. I'm from Romania and I still haven't seen such a thing!

No hard feelings,

I had a Dacia pick up in the early 90's for my motorcycles, Very good size bed, but let down by rust. Shame Renault never made the R12 in pickup form.

Dacia pick-ip is not a car, is a Romanian car, and as a romanian car is not worcking, just a pice of iron.

Let's all get serious now!

Half of Romania drives Dacia's (and I should know, because I'm a Romanian). First of all... it's not a car, honest.

It's an overpriced piece of scrap. If you want to feed some hungry Romanians buy it... but only as a gesture of charity.

The first car I ever drove was a Dacia Berlina... this is basically a clone of the very very old Renault 12 from the 1950's. They only made real small tweaks to the original design so the fuel consumption is very bad for a car with an 1300cc engine (8%). The newer ones (Supernova and newer) use newer Renault engines and gearboxes, but the rest is still of extremely low quality (you must remember that the car is manufactured by people that work 8-10h/day and make 100-200$/month - not very motivating, ain't it?).

Water leaks inside the car... my dad's engine simply blew up at 60k KM... the cooling is very bad... after a few years the doors don't work... etc... etc... etc).

Maybe the latest Logan "by Renault" is better (we all hope so) but the quality is still very very low...

Take care!

Hello.

I am from iceland, I was in rumenia in last month and I saw all the dacia's there and I want to buy one:) to you know if I can get it in some other country then romenia??

I am British and I live and work in Romania. It seems to me that the Dacia pickup cannot be all bad. I see thousands of them driving on the 'roads' here with, seemingly,little trouble. I had a German sports car when I arrived here and it could not live with Dacias on the roads here. The Logan is a Renault and is built to the same standards - I do not think a Renault a 'bad'car, but others may have different views.

I have taken new pickups back to France and the UK for friends and, for the price, everyone is happy with them. They are basic, but reliable - at least with the later version of the Renault diesel engine - and do the job. What more can you ask?.

Hi, I had a diesel engined Dacia Duster in England in the mid '90's and it was a great vehicle. Only problems were odd wheel size (15 inch?) which made it hard to get tyres suitable for off road; and lack of power steering, which put my wife's back out.

I would now like to buy the new Dacia double cab pickup for use in France - any suggestions where I can buy one? Does anyone have one, in France or England that I can look at?

This is a price list of the Dacia's just copy and paste.

I have a dacia. I can't complain because the car parts are weri cheap and the cars are made for the bad Romanian roads so they hawe a wery long life

If I can give you an advice try to go to a Renault dealer near your place maybe you can order one

The new dacia logan is really great.

I have been in a renault dealer to test it and if you want a cheap, simple and reliable car.

That is a car for you.

The best is to buy it directly in romania where you will have a discount comparing to prices in france or germany.

The pick up is sold in germany, but not in france.

It is now reliable cause built in the same production line as the dacia.

For me it would be a second car (the first is a 406 coupe v6) and it would be great, I would not be afraid to go anywhere with my dacia!
