i saw a full review of it (its also called a dacia duster in europe) on a popular motoring program and they were very impressed with its robustness and reliability..it has serious off road capability and is practical around town too. The car itself is good but I'm not sure if it would have good resale value here. But if resale isn't an issue, and you like the car, then go for it by all means. you can search for 'dacia duster fifth gear' on youtube if you'd like to see the review yourself. best of luck:-)
