    Options are limited really and the different spec levels outlines on their website explain everything.

    The Sandero seems to have got pretty good reviews so far.

    Just bear in mind that as it's a cheap car, there will be compromises in terms of its loudness on the road, the quality of the interior fixtures and fittings, the way it drives and its safety. It won't be getting five stars in the NCAP safety tests like the Clio, for example.

    From a reliability perspective, it's unlikely to give a lot of trouble - especially if you go for the entry level 1.2 petrol, which is a simple non turbo petrol engine with nothing fancy to go expensively wrong. It just won't be a very nice car to be in, look at, or drive, and not as safe as some of its rivals. If it were me, I'd rather buy a 1 or 2 year old Fiesta over a brand new Sandero, a Fiesta is great little car and at that age will still give plenty of years of trouble free motoring.
