Thinking of buying 2 cars - Dacia Logan MCV and a 7 Seater

    I have a 2007 Ford Fiesta at the moment which is used mainly by my wife. I am thinking about replacing the Ford Fiesta and buying a 5 seater car for my wife and a second hand 7 seater car for myself.

    1.
    I have the Dacia Logan MCV in my mind for my wife and dont want to go for pricey options. Mileage is less than 5000 km per year. Is it any good? Any other car models with similar price I should consider?

    2.
    For me, I am thinking of buying a min 2009, 7 seater model. I have Toyota Corola Verso and Honda Stream in mind. Any suggestions? Is it wise to go for Japaneese imported Hondas?

    3. Heard that Dacia is planning to introduce a 7 seater model in Ireland. Is this true?

    Appreciate any help.

    Driving a Dacia Logan MCV since September and find it fine, I got the higher spec model and it has some minor things that annoy me the odd time

    1. No boot latch to open the boot, have to use key or latch at drivers seat
    2. Cabin noise, ironically there's a little more cabin noise when driving at 80km/hour then at 120km/hour, now to be fair I knew about this from reading reviews

    Other then that I find it fine to drive, tonnes of space and comfortable to drive and at the price I paid it was cracking value!

    Dacia's aren't for everyone, some dislike them as they don't always have all the extras of more expensive cars but if you want a car with plenty of boot space space at a good value price then they are great options. Despite the things I mentioned above I'd still buy one again.

    If it helps, I have the Sandero Stepway for over a year now and I love it.
    Like Cabaal says, opening the boot is annoying because you have to either use the latch beside the seat or the key.
    I got the diesel version. I have done 40k already and have not had any problems yet.
    I would buy a Dacia again.

    Just to add I'm just hitting 20k miles on mine, also have diesel model.

    In relation to your query about a 7 seater model, to be honest I doubt that it'll come anytime soon. looking at the UK site there's no mention of anything yet and they have a better selection of models (Prime and Ambiance) then the Irish market already. I personally wouldn't hold out as you very well could be waiting a long long time.

    I had a chat with Dacia online support and they told me that they doesnt have any plans for the launch of a 7 seater model soon...

    I'm thinking about buying a dacia Logan . I don't really mind the look, I'm looking for a car for family, 2 dogs , bikes, plus have a roof box.

    But the thing is I work about a mile away and will use it a lot for this journey, I'd imagine a diesel would be completely incompatible for this, I do need a car to travel once or twice a year to go to UK but still feel petrol would be more for me, plus price and 5 year warranty would be great .

    My friend has had one for two years and has nothing but great things to say about it . I'd like to hear opinions from more people that have one tho .

    This is their 7 seated model from the continent, not sure if we'll see it here but its on sale in India and early RHD Dusters came from India...

    And would you want it if they did! :eek:
    The Lodgy received three stars in Euro NCAP's crash test rating, considered to be the lowest result for a car in 2012.[6] In the test the rear passenger floor panel and tunnel were completely separated and the transmission tunnel was deformed between the front seats.
