Not Ireland 8 Not everyone shares the Ireland-of-the-welcomes sentiment 9 of the best restaurants and places to eat in Ireland, 10 Thirty-three years after our student summer, Fiona and I still live in Boston. There are a million more things that are more comfortable that I can suggest, such as falling down the stairs Peter Griffin style, trying to ride an angry bull, or trying to find your prostate, because these will be more comfortable and memorable.
Anyway, you get the point, back in the day it used to be cars from the Malasian and South Korean markets that symbolised not only cheapness but awfulness. Also, the people who would buy these cars weren't very good drivers.
The sort of people that think hitting and losing your wing mirror is a 'usual thing. The sort of people who would stop in the middle of the road to talk to someone else, who conveniently is also in middle of the road in their car.
Look, do whatever you want with them, talk to him, hug him, bend him over, do anything you please, just not on the bloody roads please. You get the picture. However, things have changed. Kia especially are on a bit of a role. The likes of the sportage and Cee'd have upgraded the firm, and the arrival of the stunning Kia Stinger, has even started to pull petrolheads in as well.
However, with the improvement comes at a price, quite literally. With the prices increasing, people who either can't afford, or just can't drive properly, can't have these cars. They are now too nice to crash, which is something not even Satan would of said about these cars 15 years ago. The arrival of Dacia has practically saved the 'new cheap cars' and it's future owners who are looking for a bargain. Dacia are Romanian, yeah Romanian. I don't know anything about Romania, do you?
Well, it doesn't matter anyway. Dacia can't even say there name correctly. They pronounce it Dachia. I'm guessing that's probably how they say there name in Romania. Just a pause for thought. With the growing success of Dacia cars, I thought it would be a good idea to review 2 different types of Sanderos. These are the standard Sandero and the Sandero Stepway. I'm sure James May will be very excited to see this anyway, if he actually one day does read this. Anyway let's begin, with the Sandero:.
If you close your eyes, you can see just how beautiful the car really is. Ok, I'll mention the elephant in the room, there is another cheap new car for sale. It's called the Mitsubishi mirage, which is basically the Sandero's proper rival if thought thoroughly. Both are cheap, both are hatchbacks and both are economical. But, the mirage is so dreadful, that's the last time I'm ever mentioning it.
Unless I'm paid too to say nice things about it through gritted teeth, Mitsubishi are you listening? Back to serious matters, this car is slow. In fact, pensioners trying to get erections would be quicker, I don't know why they would but it works I guess.
This car has different choice of engines, such as the 1. But,if you fancy not getting anyway on time, you can have harry the hamster 1. Or even better, you could have his little brother Jeff, but with a turbo charger cc turbo , basically a hamster on steroids, and that always causes a few stares, albeit not for the right reasons.
Or if you scared of having a hamster, or having steroid scandals going on in your car, you could have a small 1 litre engine with the power and top speed of a termite. Just beware none of these cars exceed mph, so your likely to see pigs fly, then see a young racer driving a Dacia. These engines can be available for the Stepway Sandero, well maybe not harry, but I'll get to that in a bit.
However, where it lacks in power, unless you buy Jeff the steroid hamster of course, it especially lacks in sport. I mean, a fat person falling down the stairs rolls less than this car. Actually, that would be quicker as well. To be honest, with that massive bodywork fitted on, I can see why it's not a terrific handling car. The body probably weighs slightly more than Jupiter. I would of said of Uranus but that would of been awkward.
However, it's very reliable, economical and very easy to use. Meaning you'll have to be a professional idiot to crash one of these. It's also very practical, with 5 seats and a big boot. The ride comfort isn't to bad either. More than good enough for the pennies you'll be spending on it. A fiesta is over twice that. You could buy two Sanderos and still save money. The Dacia can do more than enough for a whole lot less. You could even spend that money on a holiday, or buying a better 2nd car, like an Impreza, MX5, Sierra you get the picture.
Ok, the interior usually can be quite dull and tedious.
