      Not a Spring or even an EV, but my Sandero pushes out 70hp and it’s a fantastic car. One litre of pure rage and agricultural gearbox.

      I’m a big Dacia fan. I’d deffo buy a Spring if I could.

      At the moment though living semi-rurally, there isn’t really the financial incentive or contingency planning available for having both cars as EVs otherwise I’d be all over the Spring.

      I don’t need to compensate. I like small cars - they are so much more agile on the road. I don’t need more power - it doesn’t take much skill to make up for low horsepower, and again I don’t need to prove anything with my car.

    It appears that the Dacia Spring is now the cheapest new car in germany. Most small cars currently have their base price at approx. 15.000€, and the Dacia Spring is available for 11.900€.

    They could be 1000 euros, the Chinese government is dumping them anyway. Not sure why auto companies were fined in the past for dumping but China gets a pass.

      Not sure if you’re just being reactionary without knowing things or what…

      Dacia is a French (originally Romanian) company that has been around since 1966.

      They are very well known and popular in Europe.

        This POS is a Dacia badge stuck on a Dongfeng EV. They do that to sell to morons. Judging by the up/downvotes, it’s a winning strategy. TEMU Furrari.
