Hi Aisling,

Dacia often uses previous-generation Renault technology to keep production costs down, and also keeps its cars free of frills. 

You can't go wrong with the Dacia Sandero, the firm's smallest car at the time of writing. It's compact for the city, but still spacious enough inside with a good-sized boot, too. It should come with low running costs and it's more than capable of motorway work when required.
