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!

No good for a 6ft 4 driver then? These things want shredding and turning into Cola cans

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

Saw a Dundee plated Renault Clio PHV tonight, and it looked TINY - and I thought my Octavia was on the small side for a plated vehicle :-o

Thought it was a two-door as well, for a second at least, but it's one of those with the daft invisible door handles :roll:

So at least two major reaons it won't be popular with punters, and I'd bet the owner will come to regret buying it.

Thought it was maybe an EV, because all new PHVs in Dundee have to be EVs. But apparently there's not an EV Clio available. Maybe the rules have been changed in Dundee. Makes sense - might prevent your skull being caved in at the very least, which is always a good thing :-|

The smallest car we had was a City Rover. It cost us £995 when we bought it. it was 5 years old at the time. We only used it for school runs so it was great.
