Renault Duster - anyone have one?

[JerryMungo]

The 86 does not look bad. The Duster does. That is all we can say of the 86 in this thread.

Your opinion is just that.

Your opinion is just that.

So you are saying the Duster is looking better than the 86?

Undisguised spy shots of the upcoming Duster pick-up.

They need to bring to RSA; will do well in the 1/2 to 3/4 small bakkie market.

 

[Goliath]

Just the look is a dealbreaker..

Corsa and Nissan bakkies need some competition in that space, so all for it.

 

[Rouxenator]

Strada and Arena can do that.

This would probably be labelled as a Nissan if it comes here. It looks decent enough, only issue was the payload. One report I read put it at 400kg, which would be useless. The NP 200 is smaller and can carry 800kg.

dont think it will ever come to ZA
too much competition with bakkies here.

As far as I know Fiat have said that the current Stada will not be made in RHD.

SA on has 2 half ton bakkies left, the Nissan NP200 and Chev Utility. The NP 200 has stopped production in Europe already, and the Duster is expected to replace it.

My only concern with bringing it to SA would be price. The NP 200 starts at about R140 000 while the Duster suv costs R200 000. That price is in line with the NP 300.

Removes a fair amount of metal and 2 seats... Should cut the price down to make it in line with the NP200

You post a photo of the Subaru BRZ, label it as the Legacy Sport, in the Renault Duster thread... Nailed it!

Wondering about wind noise @ 120km/h

I hate when people go on about " its basically a rebranded..."
those idiots need to be shot. on site!

they obviously dont know bugger all about cars!

I have a new 1.5 and was wondering what others owners have to say about wind noise driving @ 120?

 

[TehStranger]

Apparently, it's the rails on the roof rack that cause this, although I can't say I've found it particularly noticeable.

 

[HavocXphere]

100% of the duster drivers encountered so far drive like sht-heads.

Seriously...the reckless BMW drivers are doing better....

Thanks Garp
Have asked the dealer to rectify the problem by having the roof racks removed but was told that they couldn't sort out the holes left behind in the roof. I was wondering if one can't fit covers over the center sections??
