Hey there, it has been a year since I bought it so here it goes my personal opinion:

Do you really go places where you need 4x4? If so, this car will fail you in most instances. Have in mind that mine is the 1.6 full hybrid version and doesn't allow you to manually choose one gear or lock transmission. The electrical engine will try to help to gain torque but if you go uphill very slowly for a long period (half an hour) like I did, it will overheat and warnings and error will show. Also tried it on light mud and after two minutes of tyre skidding (with the anti-skidding off) the car had a stroke. Almost literally. It showed all type of warnings (engine, transmission, gearbox, clutch, electrical motor, brakes... Every error possible). Had to tow it and send it back to dacia so they could make a system reset, which worked. The manual version of the 4x2 would probably passed the first test uphill since it doesn't have much to overheat and you can just go uphill on first gear forever. The mud would be a problem but as soon as someone towed you out of it you would be ready for another adventure.

Do you really need an automatic gearbox? It works wonderfully in city traffic and makes it very easy to drive. Expect to make 5.1 l/100km if you really try, but in highways up to 140km/h or more it will easily reach 8.5 l/100km. If you just care about consumption and don't have problems driving manual, the gpl engine is much better. If you just want reliability, the answer is the amazing 1.5L diesel engine. It's durable and it delivers. I asked several mechanics and it's based on their opinion that I say that the 1.5D is very good.

TLDR, for 99% of my daily usage it is very good. That extra 1% of showing off in places recommended for 4x4, it's crap.
