    CD player. You can also plug in a USB stick and play music off it. I believe the electric windows even work by electricity! And seatbelts are standard on all models! (No lap belt in the rear)

    I hope they don't forget to put a "Negative Earth" warning sticker on it!

    See nothing wrong with that, I'd far prefer it to the usual grotty, smeggy, shabby plastic wheel coverings, so beloved by the Irish motorist.

    Aftermarket lift kits and the like are being adapted by decent manufacturers. I certainly would..

    They should fit little skateboard wheels on the doors and roof, for when you are on-road, but not up-right.

    Nissan iirc. Like a lot of side mount engined suvs, it's basically a front wheel drive gearbox with a rear wheel drive output bolted to the diff housing. It'll never be as strong as a conventional long gear box/transfer case setup. But then, this isnt a two tonne vehicle with a three tonne towing capacity.

    I think they are all like that.
    Was just on VW website checking the Passat equipment list actually, it includes :
    3-point seat belt for center rear seat
    Analog clock
    Center console
    Fuel tank
    Halogen twin headlights
    Parking brake
    Rear Fog light

    There is no shame really

    Cool, you get a fuel tank as standard, what a time to be alive.

    This is vw Ireland's passat equipment list though.

    80MNlh.jpg

    The dacia website is shocking. No prices, no equipment lists, no information at all. Only an ambiguous monthly finance figure for each car.
    Any dacia/renault ireland employees might highlight that to somebody?

    Wow, cloth seats and steel wheels. Wonder if metallic is extra?

    There's very few cars with standard metallic.

    I'm not a vw fan. But to be fair to them, they list the basic stuff on the base models, and the extras that the higher spec ones have.

    Listing a glovebox light as a reason to get a top spec duster in a press release isn't really the same as listing steel wheels being on a base passat - in a section of the vw website that lists the differences between specs

    fair enough. but what is the difference in price between the top spec Dacia and the top spec Passat. Suddenly the exact spec isn't of such earth shattering importance anymore.

    Granted, they're aimed at different audiences. The original point was, the "article" in the Limerick post (rehashed press release) is hilarious.
    The comparison with the passat wasn't originally made by me.

    Your fault was expecting actual motoring journalism in the Limerick Post. :D;)
    Top Gear could never have sprung from this country. We're still all in therapy from TV3's offering.

    The pricelist is on the Dacia homepage and each of the models has a brochure available...

    Im not messing here, I checked the website again and I can only find a way for my local dealer to send me a brochure in the post, I honestly can't find prices or specs on the website.

    Examples click on a logan and get this
    VJTpda.jpg

    €119 per month, you do the maths.
    I can have any car i want for €119 a month, depending on deposit/final payment.
    Can dacia not just do the feckin maths for me?

    Is it not a requirement when making a finance offer to give more detail than this, total cost of credit, apr, number of payments?





    Edit. Hang on, I have to click on "legal info" hidden down in the left corner in small writing to get prices. What moron designed this?


    Edit again, clicking this doesn't actually give me prices at all.....
