Dacia Duster, due in the UK 2012

Dacia i car company owned by French Renualt (who is dislike)  is originally from Romania, and the is responsible for 10% of the countries exports. Their cars dont try to be anything they aint, the cars are down to business with 'good' engines provided by Renualt and otherwise straight forward cars which are soundly made with very little fuss. The cars are therefore cheap and run like clockwork, of course the resell price will never be though the roof and people are not going to be turning their heads to look at you in this car.

That is exactly why i really like this car, its a workhorse which is going to keep going not because it has the newest technology in the world, but because it is super simple and just works. I would love to buy this car just to have for a off road run around, not to use everyday but only off road, because i would be able to do some proper driving without having to be careful not to hurt it, i would just treat it like a great big workhorse which i would not have to treat to nicely.

It is going to be on sale in the UK next year with a 1.6 petrol with 105bhp and 4x4 this will be the only version available to start of with but there is also a 1.5dci diesel producing 110bhp also with 4x4. There is also a 4x2 version but this will not be available in the UK just yet.
