That has been very much my reasoning for buying cars in recent years. Purchased a new Ford C-Max in 2004, and near on ten years later l am still driving them, a mixture of new and used, and on my fifth example now.
Easy to get into and out of, nice high driving position, reliable, fuel...
A friend of mine recently purchased an Alfa Romeo Guillietta, describes it as like driving a Fiat Tipo on acid.
But yes, providing the badge isn't an issue, l would say that any model of Dacia is a good shout.
