I drove a brand new SEAT this year as a rental which had a clutch that was almost impossible to actuate smoothly due to a very bizzare non linear bite profile. I wonder if it's similar for Dacia cars.
The only Dacia stuff I'm personally interested in is the stuff with the new Renault hybrid drivetrains
- petre 4y agoNo, the Dacia clutch has a very short bite profile, like most Renault cars. I find it annoying after driving mainly Suzukis and VAG group cars. The Seat Leon is quite a nice drive and we also had a rental Skoda Fabia which was ok as well, apart from a too soft suspension that makes you think it's going to flip over. My other car is a previous model Audi A1 1.4 TFSI, which is very stable and much fun to drive on good roads, but it's unreliable, the trunk is useless and Eastern European roads are full of potholes and inequalities, so I'm selling it. The Captur hybrid is the only Renault PHEV I'm aware of and it has automatic transmission.

The E-Tech system uses two electric motors, a starter motor and a drive unit, that are controlled by a clutchless “dog box” transmission. Dacia did not release horsepower figures or a sales price for the hybrid version, but the drivetrain produces 140 hp in the Clio. Dacia said it will be “the most affordable seven-seater hybrid on the market.” Renault says the E-Tech system allows for 80 percent of urban driving in electric-only mode, and for a total fuel savings of 40 percent compared with a comparable gasoline drivetrain.
