Customer reviews for Dacia BigsterDacia Bigster seen by those who use it on a daily basis

excellent off road....would be better with All Terrain Tyres ...

would benefit from mud flaps for when using off road ..

why no grab handles in Bigster ... had them in the Duster Journey!! .. wife has mobility issues so they were a definate help ..

Not a fan of the automatic handbrake....

POSITIVES:

noticable straight away how much more comfortable the seats were compared to the Duster Journey ..

gearbox was much smoother ...

ample room for back passengers, even for a six-footer !!

back space is impressive .. can fit mobility walker in no problem and leaves space for anything else ..

very impressed with the automatic dipping of headlights for night driving ..

A great car reasonable price too.

A pleasure-to drive

Niggles . It is a bit jerky while driving

. It really should come provided with mudflaps

. Centre console is a tiny bit restrictive and large on the hybrid especially for tall people

. Occasionally the front camera seems to stop working but then comes back to life

Overall though it’s a good comfortable car. The suspension works well on the roads and I’m getting good 57 mpg

A good warranty too with out breaking the bank for service costs

So far very impressed just need to connect my car to my phone it’s not playing ball currently

Comfortable drive and good fuel economy. Heated seats and steering wheel are good, but the button for the heated steering wheel can take a few times to work. Not used the cruise control much as the camera seems to pick up things that aren't there and quite abrupt alarms go off which is off-putting. There is loads of space for passengers and good boot space. Seats are very comfortable. Not enough decent cup holders but the cool box is a really good option, particularly for longer journeys. All around cameras are really useful, but the quality of the picture isn't amazing, but they do the job. Overall, you get a lot for your money.

unfortunately, I am disappointed with several aspects of the vehicle condition and the handover process. the paintwork quality is not up to the standard I expected. there is a noticeable black dot on the passenger door, and the paintwork on the roof is poorly finished. areas appear to have been missed and not properly covered with black paint. in addition the spare wheel (space saver) and extra light accessories were not included as expected, which caused further inconvenience. overall this made the process feel like a waste of my time, as these issues should have been identified and resolved before delivery.

Make the adaptive cruise control less susceptible to not working, use radar instead of the front camera.

Car is very comfortable and the large boot is excellent. Engine is a bit noisy when it is charging. Unless you get over 50mph it stays in too low a gear so revs a lot.

The wireless connection to android auto drops out occasionally as well. Most of the time it is good.

The built in sat nav needs an auto-light function, when it is night or day. As having to go into menu to change is not the best while driving.

I upgraded from the Jogger (hybrid) to the Bigster (hybrid) recently. I did this because of a number of improvements, and it is all as I hoped for. I love the panoramic roof and the improved sound system. Also the drive train is smoother and a little bit more powerful, which makes it better for the long journeys on the motorway. Furthermore, it is more quiet in the cabin due to better insulation. There is more space in the back seats area, and there is heating there as well. Great car, excellent value for money.

I like the car, it gives a smooth comfortable ride. It has a lot of tech that is great to assist the driver. Very economical.

What I have found is that in a sunny day the front camera does not work. Which is ok as should not re!y on technology. Electric driver seat would be a bonus as when you get in 9 times out of the you have to readjust the seat as you catch the seat lever when you get in and out. I had the side steps fitted as it is rather high but the step needs to be wider as your foot does not fit on.

2,000 miles in and so far, very pleased with my Dacia Bigster 155 Hybrid Extreme. I love the commanding elevated drive position, intelligent hybrid drive and head-turning looks. The economy is excellent and interior very practical and well designed. What could be better - the 4 auto gears appear to struggle with appropriate changes up, and the volume/mode stalk on the steering wheel is completely hidden from driver view - irritating but bearable once to learn to 'feel' the position to change anything.

The bigster feels comfortable inside, we love the heated seats and steering wheel. Room for two child seats and an adult in the back. The high clearance has been great in the recent floods. The screen is a bit complicated for a non techie!

The screens giving all round views are great but the alarms when you get close to something are so overwhelming that when we actually reversed into our daughter’s car we don’t know if they sounded and we just ignored them like usual when there’s only a hedge there!

4x4, decent size, good fuel economy, rolls ahead easily on mild hybrid motor/engine combination, soft bouncy ride (good for offroading and over potholes), sunroof lets in more cabin light.

Stop Start has only worked three times since I've had the car last October, not sure it's worth having.

Lack of a valet button for when you don't want the vehicle electrical systems to switch on when parked up and opening/closing car doors during valeting or loading/unloading with engine off.
