Another Brazilian Sandero

Rafa-ABC

Hi everyone!!!

Congrats for the forum!!! Hope to share and learn a lot from that new car.

Just got a (Renault) Sandero Vibe, as you guys might know, basically is an Expression one with some cosmetic features:

- "Black mask" headlights;
- Tinted taillights;
- 15" black-ish wheels;
- Custom upholstery (black with red details);
- Silver details in the dashboard and shift knob;

Is a limited to 3thousandandsomething units but the best part is you can get all this "extras" chaper than an Expression itself. Car costed around US$16k with power window (front only), locker (front and rear), steering, air conditioning and OEM mp3 player.

Please find some pix from my new kid-o:

Very Nice VIBE ;)
Just wondering, does the car computer has the instant fuel consumption ?

Rafa-ABC

Nope, thanks God average only. You get sort of paranoid with the instant one. lol trust me, I have it in the Fiat Palio and I try to avoid everytime I have to check the average. lol

Thanks for the welcome!!!

I can take the picture asap but in the meanwhile you can see them with the link provided by AG25FLI:

any problems with your car.. until now?

Rafa-ABC

Nops. It works just fine.
In fact it's a little bit noisier than was the Clio, but is a car issue itself, not a problem.

chitziman

a ok...good for you

Rafa-ABC

Is there any common problem in Sandero there in Romania?

Goan

Unfortunately it seems that yes.
One of the most discussed topic on the forum is the one about the "direction box".
There is a number of Sandero owners that complain about some sounds in the steering wheel.
The sounds truly exists but after changing a few "direction boxes" the sounds appears again.
Unfortunately there is no official position from Dacia yet.
Maybe our roads are generating this sounds pretty faster then on other conditions

Greetings from the neighbourhood. This is my first post, I didn`t find "Member introduction" board.

What is "direction box"? What is it`s function? I am trying to translate and get some sense out of it, but no success...

Goan

I've looked over the net and found this guy that sells a "Direction box for Dacia".

Rafa-ABC

Hmmm.... I heard some complaining about this very same problem from some Brazilian owners as well. And you can hear it while maneuvring to park for instance, not in higher speeds.
Don't worry, we ain't got a smooth tarmac around here too.

LeNgenda

Aaaah, now I understand...

Well, yes, that is something that often go to malfunction because of the bad roads.

Here in Serbia, one of the best marketing arguments is durability and robustness of Dacia`s suspension and not-too-sensibile engine because of the bad gasoline we have here.

Let`s compare the prices; here in Serbia, Dacia Sandero 1.4 MPI Base costs 6990 euros. Mine is Ambiance (7999 euros) with added A/C, powered front windows and fog lights (1 euro) and metallic paint (310 euros), all equals 8310 euros. What is the price of Sandero Base in Brasil, Romania, anywhere else?

We only have Base, Ambiance and Laureate equipment packs on the market.

my car was 9500 Euro

Prices starts in Romania from 6890 Euro (Dacia Sandero 1.4 MPI-basic model; no AC, no fog spots, no electric equipments, no power steering, no computer onboard...)

sanderizer

My version is the same as yours.Only that here it's called "Preference",I have no AC and the fog lights cost 50 E +. Even the color matches.

I payed 8305 E for it.

LeNgenda

Yes, a couple of years ago Logan has been sold in all five equipment packs.

My pack is called Ambiance Plus, Ambiance with added things that you get for 1 euro, that was some kind of sale in November, but now is even more cheap, 7.777 euros, and delivery is immediate. It seems like factory have made too much Preferance for Germany or so, and wanted to get rid of them. I was lucky to get one with RNF mettalic paint.

Sandero 1.4 MPI: Base 6.990, Ambiance 7.999 and Laureate 8.404 euros.

I wasn`t interested im 1.6 MPI so I don`t know the prices.

What are your experiences of fuel consumption?

ciomp

Consumption depends on how you drive the car. For my 1.4 consumption in the city is about 10 liters per 100 km (11% in winter, maybe more..that depends!), and outside the city I have somewhere to 6 liters/100 km. these are the output of computer car, and I never did a “real” consumption. if you ask the engine performance, consumption increases considerably.
