Renaul Duster Experience o far

[Rouxenator]

You guys are so funny. Bottom line it is a good car. They don't call it the Jack Russell of 4x4s for nothing

Do Jack Russels rust?

 

[Duster Jack]

Only at the coast like all others, if you don't take care of them.

Umm sorry but no...

That label is reserved for the Suzuki Jimny

 

[Duster Jack]

Also a great vehicle, just a bit too small for my family

The Fuel consumption was my ultimate challenge. If Renault states it could get 5.3L/100Km, I must challenge that. This is exactly what I did and took it on the N1 North at between 85 and 100Km/h and I managed to get 23.8Km/l which works out to 4.2L/100KM. This is the best I got it up to and this lasted from Gordon Road to Rivonia Road. Any one that can better that?

Congrats on the purchase.

Please report back when you have actual consumption figures (filling the whole tank).

I once got 3.5l / 100km for about 3.7km when going downhill with a wind from the back...

Yeah, but my point is the Jimny is the Jack Russell of 4x4's not the Duster, not in a million years.

 

[Duster Jack]

You have your opinion, I have mine

 

[ToxicBunny]

Mine is pretty much universally shared by the international 4x4 community...

 

[Pox]

My mom drives a Jimny. That automatically makes it better than any other 4x4.

Did you read the full review? Great off road and easy to park in the city, but that is about that.

 

[Duster Jack]

Think the name is apt.

This Duster Jack is a salesperson at Renault Clearwater trying to promote the car. It's painfully obvious.

 

[Duster Jack]

Probably wouldn't, on the other hand maybe with rising costs, who knows?

We all know that..

Its generally a good car though... so until he starts getting over the top, we'll entertain it.

 

[Duster Jack]

Nope actually not. I work in a different industry. Just impressed by the value for money and fuel consumption

 

[Duster Jack]

Okay. Any good off-road trails in gauteng for vehicles not having low range?

 

[Duster Jack]

Not going to carry on with previous subject, but will report back on my next drive to PTA and back on the fuel consumption

N1

 

[Duster Jack]

Ha ha. Excellent one. No seriously?
