2001 Dacia SuperNova Rapsodie review from Romania
"A car for 5000km a year tops"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, the radiator had to be changed. It seems I'll have to do it again since this one is leaking too.
Also, the rear shock absorbers had to be changed. Unfortunately, nobody told me that they have only six months warranty, so I had to pay for them.
Fuel injectors.
General comments?
Good car for first 15,000 km. After that, problems begin to occur.
Pretty hard to handle on wet roads.
Brakes not on level with the car's performance (heavy braking from 150km/h can prove to be far more difficult than expected).
Poor rear shock absorbers, making the car quite unstable.
Very poor interior final touches. It really leaves a lot to be desired.
Overall, let's just say that the Renault engine and gearbox aren't enough to make this car what manufaturers want it to be.
