Often the verdict for a car costing this little would be "cheap but not great". Not here, though. The Dacia Sandero is one of the great all-rounders and is particularly strong when it comes to practicality, while our favourite TCe 100 Bi-Fuel engine adds the potential for lower running costs. Only a disappointing Euro NCAP safety score lets the side down.
Offers up a respectable 89bhp and has a six-speed manual gearbox standard (although you can pay extra for an automatic). Performance isn't the Sandero's strongest suit, but in our tests it managed 0-60mph in 11.0sec.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
