2001 Dacia SuperNova review from Romania
"I have a Dacia Logan, now. I will definitely miss this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change 3 times the rear suspensions
Also, bad thermo-coolers: had to change them 3 times.
Problems with ha-yon: the rubber and the locker weren't so good, so when the road was bumpy it was making ugly noises;
Water in the trunk. After 4 years, nobody could find out where this water was coming from.
General comments?
+ It is a fun-to-drive car, for a single or couple young guys which choose a light and speedy car to a lazy big car.
+ Its Clio engine can take this car at 170 km/h on a highway and 140 km/h on a normal road. Thought, from 140 to 170 the speed increases slowly.
+ Drives good in urban traffic, can squeeze every small place you can find in waiting lines at the traffic lights, have a good start;
+ Good power reserve in 3rd and 4th gears - can help a lot to make a fast pass over a big truck, or other slow car;
+ Neutral behavior in tight turns - I loved this in my mountains trips;
+ Pretty small trunk;
+ Various noises in the back;
+ The isolation of the upper part of the cabin went down. Had to stick it again by hand;
+ The persons who were sitting on the backseats are very uncomfortable;
+ Luckily, the manufacturer have a wide service network in Romania, so if anything brakes down, there is a solution. Happily, didn't need it!
