irst air we the secret, why the Dacia Logan MCV looks as new nearly still like 100,000 kilometers inside and outside: It is because of the fact that hard plastics, which its sober Interieur forms does not wear itself out, and its body Design remarkable beauty - which is considered as passing - avoids.




Beginning of lasting for the Dacia Logan MCV

Beauty it does not concern also, when the MCV lasted in February 2007 starts. Separate around the question, how it creates the cheap car over the long distance. It is cheap however only after the base price of 8.400 euro today is it 100 more. Because the combination does not have then however times a power steering, the sum for the test car rises by the choice of the equipment variant Laureate in the group with the 68-PS-Turbodiesel and extra like the third seat row, Radio/CD, air conditioning system, aluminum wheels and Metallic to 15,000 euros. (The Dacia Logan in the single test)

Who likes, can calculate, how much was earlier. It changes however nothing in the fact that there is at present no other car, which has a similarly minted talent at this price seven passengers to accommodate or a whole herd of ageweak washing machines to the valuable material yard to trucks. The MCV does not disappoint, because none expects itself more from it and he promises nothing else as high-pragmatic and unpretentious mobility. And it changes aspects nevertheless: Two, three days at the piece with it are sufficient to the realization gain that it does not have to be more cars actually.

The engine of the Dacia Logan MCV could be stronger

On the routes with the Logan one can concern oneself much with driving, because nothing diverts from it. Few that there at functions, is really one uses. Nothing is to be adjusted, with it to be only adjusted leaves itself. That is valid even for the modest audio plant. It krächzt with the sound strength of a radio bell, but because of wheel from, which the engine organized starting from speed 130, a better sound system would be anyway wasted. Somewhat more Kraft against it would not harm. The road performances of the 1,5-Liter-Diesels do not work completely subjectively so phlegmatisch, as they are after the measured values. Maximally 1,860 Kilos of Logan make excessive demands of 68 HP however: “When driving off I always thought, which was emergency brake attraction”, writes colleague Hans Jörg Götzl in the trip book - with a journey however, on whatever the MCV beside the family of five family Götzl still another camping equipment and a Klepper folding boat kutschiert.

The Dacia Logan uses scarcely seven litres on average

Despite the advantages of the engine - the consumption of 6,8 Liter/100 km is acceptable, to hardly wear besides brakes are able and tires because of the schütteren Kraft - Dacia takes it with the Facelift of the combination in October 2008 from the program. As only self fuzes remains the 86 HP version 1,5 dCi. It costs 600 euros more, used up equal much and does not offer more tempers - however any longer the proud feeling to the driver a mountain or a large distance to have defeated.

-LO 1025 strolls by Europe. Disturb its slowly responding heating, the fast made excessive demands of air conditioning system and the uncomfortable seats. They cause also the first unplanned visiting a dealer. Starting from kilometer the driver's seat mutates 35,644 to the swinging UHL. That creates the rack renewed on warranty only briefly remedy. The only really annoying and - outside of the guarantee period expensive - lack remains. Otherwise only little things result: Approximately with half time the rear wheel brakes must be cleaned and be replaced greased as well as an low beam lamp with the second extra stop. With third there is a fresh stop light switch and a new disk wiping nozzle.

The Dacia Logan MCV gets over 100,000 km without breakdown

More does not go broken at the Dacia Logan, at which to is not also much, which could go broken. It hardly ages: The transmission scolded yourself for 100.000 km still just as kratzig as on the first day, the clutch reaches as late as always already. A few scratch in the bumpers witness from the bad clarity. Once it a column in the multi-storey car park the left outside mirror entreißt, but no breakdown stops it. Rattle or rust at the cheap body? No trace.

The robust health, which enjoys of the MCV, bases on extensive precaution. The inspection intervals anyway short at 20,000 kilometers are interrupted after 10,000 kilometers by intermediate checks. Whereby Renault in this point gives contradictory data. The manufacturer writes to the reader Wolfgang Krautmacher, it gives only a unique service inspection - with odometer reading 10.000. With our further inquiry it means however, the check is in front necessary with all 10.000er steps with odd number, in order to protect the warranty claims. Fact is: The MCV does not have only to five inspections, with which he gets sumptuous in each case 5.5 litres fresh oil, and whose price with on the average 285 euros comparatively highly fail. The costs of five the intermediate checks, with which the mechanics examine only the car, are on the average with 71 euros.

Thus the Logan with scarcely 1,260 euros requires twice as high maintenance costs like Renault Clio with 30.000 km interval. That settles also in the total costs, which amount to without tires, oil and fuel 1.6 Cent/km - approximately 50 per cent more, than usual in this Preisklasse. Despite its high resale value after 100.000 km the Dacia is thus no really cheap car - however an inexpensive for all, which do not look for a car for loving, but for the true life.
