We were down to Sandero and C3 last year and went with Dacia. 2022 with 12000 miles on, tce, air con, auto lights and wipers, Satnav and Android auto etc. Improved too with nicer dashboard, more comfortable seats, better steering wheel and better door handles. Getting (on Eco button) high 50s to low 60s per gallon on E5, high 40s on E10 and high 30s.on LPG Absolutely love the car, only mistake was not going with Stepway for better access for me and my spinal pain (from a rear ender in the 90s). I pick it over my Citroen C4 when we go out anywhere, if it's around. Only downside we found with car itself is it has crappy, hard to hoover carpets and reverse camera fitted under back bumper and unusable after a mile on a wet day.

Just picked up a 2024 sandero expression. 5 to 10k cheaper than anything else of the same size and 2k cheaper than 1-2 year old nearly new models with longer warranty and half the apr on the finance.. Its a 2024 renault clio underneath. Very pleasantly surprised with the comfort, the suspension eats bumps so much better than any other hatchback ive ever driven. Getting 43 mpg on the 1.0 tce engine but i do a lot of local sub 30 mph driving. It replaces a fiat panda 2015 that blew a head gasket at 60k miles.........

no reported issues with the 0.9tce
