Dacia (or "Dat-chi-a") were originally Romanian but since 1999 Renault have been involved.

Basically before 1989, the communist regime "borrowed" Renault designs and made their own cars.

Remember these?

A renault built by Romanians? What's not to like?

Mixed views here, I will test drive one and see how that goes. I am after an economical family car, possibly on 3 yr lease with option to purchase or give back at end of the term. I currently have a Skoda Fabia, excellent runaround and usually 50 mpg average (unleaded ) but need something bigger.

Thanks for all the feedback

Seriously, if you are going for a PCP lease arrangement you are better off going for a car that has a higher future value as you then borrow (finance) less. For example, if you choose 2 cars with the same list price, check which one has the best guaranteed future value, you'll pay less a month for the car that holds it's value.
Basic example
Ford car, list price £25000, GFV £7500, you borrow (finance) £17500.
Audi, VW, BMW car, list price £25000, GFV £12000, you borrow (finance) £13000.

Not sure what the comparable priced/specced cars are to the Dacia, but well worth investigating.
