2003 Dacia Solenza Clima review from Romania
"Not bad at all, for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable slipped a couple of times.
Leaks water.
Computer compartment full of water - needed a new computer.
Sagging driver seat.
General comments?
Keep your expectations low with this car. It looks OK, handles OK, is quite fast (183 km/h), and fairly economical. Let down by poor finishing and cheap material - you get what you pay for. Go for the cheapest and most basic model - fewer things to go wrong.
