I was in Puebla Mexico 2016 for the Q5s production transfer from Ingolstadt Germany to a newly built factory there in the middle of nowhere due to most of the production going up to the states with far less for the rest of the world. The comments I was hearing often was that the quality will take them 10 years to get to the old German level.
Was it just customer service or did you suffer other problems ? I`ve been quite tempted to get the new Dacia Bigster, although It won`t be able to tow the weight my Disco 2 can.
. Yes there are petrol versions too but I have had no engine or emmission issues with the 3ltr diesel engines I have had even secondhand.
My Cayenne is no more expensive to run than my Discoveries were for servicing. In my experience with a V8 diesel over 6 years the dealers don't lie in the same way LR ones do, I can have a new car equivalent warranty on an old car that works out at about £1Kpa, I have seen over 40mpg but I didn't buy it for its economy it is much more fun with the loud pedal and without doubt the most comfortable car I have ever owned even on 21" wheels (it does have air suspension). I did drive it over the fells in the Lake District with no problem but I don't take it offroad. Most importantly it gives me a huge grin every time I drive it.
Thank`s, I appreciate you letting us know & it`s good to know how they handle issues. As you say though, you may of just been unlucky buying someone else`s problem car they had offloaded to a non dealer.Long story short bought a 21 plate from a non Dacia garage. Had some issues quickly felt like clutch or possibly software.
Called Dacia who said as it was only 2.5 years old with 26k they would do the software update foc. Which they duly did and not been right since it’s been back to Dacia 4 times roughly once every month because they have literally no service staff and you can’t book it in.
Now it’s out of warranty and they just tried to charge me £500 for a diagnostics tes and whatever else is wrong will be extra. Though graciously they may and it’s a may help with the cost of parts. An example of this was it needed a new clutch hose whilst all this was going on was told their warranty won’t cover it and had to pay full whack. Wasn’t much but was enough to annoy me.
Have to say not impressed overall but I can only partially lay the blame at Dacia door as I think I just bought a lemon.
So now I’m stuck with a car I can’t move on, dash is lit up like a Xmas tree and all told probably be £2k to fix on a 12.5k car
Other than that it’s a great little car albeit a bit tight when you got reds on the back haha.
Fantastic things with big nobbly snow tyres. The only thing is Tony will need to be onsite to keep putting it back together. Similar to LR they seem determined to fall apart.Just a silly question, but has anybody tried a 4x4 Fiat Panda. Just for the odd deer? I know one lad who says they are good off road.

There is a guy on YouTube with a channel called Pedro the Panda and he has done some mods to his but it's definitely capable looking at some of his videos.Just a silly question, but has anybody tried a 4x4 Fiat Panda. Just for the odd deer? I know one lad who says they are good off road.
