Initially set out to purchase a new hatch back when i randomly stumbled across an ad for the Pre owned Duster. It was White Color with just around 15k kms done and less than 2 years old. Somehow the deal happened and got it.
Adaptation from small hatch to duster was not that difficult as i thought it would be. Once you are inside the car it just doesn't feel that huge as it looks from the outside.
Being a Diesel Car. I found the Clutch to be bit harder for my liking. The gearshifts are not smooth either. Well that's how it may be built for but not a fan of harder clutch & stiff gearbox.
The driving position of this car is pretty good unlike the awkward view of Ecosport in comparision.
The Power of 85BHP is quite adequate for my usage. Be it on the highway or in the city. Never felt the lack of power and it did handle well for our usual usage.
For the car of it's size. one would expect ample of space inside the cabin; unfortunately not to be so !! Rear legspace is same as any other hatch back. Though the boot space is huge. Wish Renault would have reduced the boot space to provide more space inside the cabin.
Extracting a fuel economy of aprox 16 overall (City + Highway with AC on)
Overall a good purchase.
