HONDA ZRV — snappy, fast, perfect in every way, whisper-quiet, maximum comfort, extraordinary quality and price. For me: 5 stars.

Dacia Bigster

The Dacia Bigster is a straightforward, value-driven SUV that emphasizes space, practicality and low running costs rather than flashy tech. It’s a sensible choice for buyers who want a roomy, well-built family car with rugged styling and easy-to-use features at an affordable price.

Sensible and practical car. Drives okay. Low fuel consumption in summer. Good interior and cargo space. Interior feels cheap. Noisy in some situations. Sufficient ground clearance even for poor roads.

If the Bigster comes as a Hybrid 4x4 G150 automatic, it’s an interesting car. I’m currently leasing a Sandero Stepway running on LPG and will return it in November. Unfortunately that engine option isn’t offered in the Jogger, which makes the Bigster appealing to me. We’re fans of LPG — and now even with an automatic.
