Anyone know anything about these?

Not a car I was even aware of. But I saw an HC in Dundee earlier, and thought it looked really tiny. Had a look, and it was a Dacia Sandero.

To be fair the photos online seem to be mostly from an angle, and they don't look quite so small, but this one's from the side, and looks very small to me:

According to reviews online it's one of the roomiest in its class, though. What Car? says it certainly has more room in the back than a Ka+, but I doubt if that's saying much [-(

Don't know much about the Sandero but we have a Logan and are very happy with it.

There are a couple of Logans used locally in NE Fife as well, and a few in Dundee, I think.

Never seen a Sandero, before, though, which is a smaller car altogether by the looks of it. Described as a 'supermini' and 'ultacompact' in articles I've had a look at :shock:

I bought mini mini Sx one of those last year.

They are tiny, how on earth could anyone license that as a cab? ](*,)

I nearly got a brand new one 18 months ago for the Little Piranha. Didn't get it though, isn't room for a full grown adult to drive it!

You are correct, there isn't enough room for a 6' 4" passenger either.
