Used Car of the Year 2023: Dacia Duster<\/h2>\n

There are many used car bargains that make an excellent case for scooping our overall prize, but among the vast range of talent, one car stands head and shoulders above the rest. The Dacia Duster is a bargain even when it\u2019s brand new, and things only get more tempting on the used market.<\/p>\n

Key to its desirability is its simplicity. It ditches many of the pretences of other compact SUVs to focus on the things that really matter the most: practicality, comfort and dependability. The cabin isn\u2019t going to blow anyone away with its style or finish, but at a time when many rivals splash shiny black plastics and fake carbon fibre inside to give a thin veneer of a premium product, there\u2019s an honesty about the Duster that\u2019s hard not to love. There\u2019s loads of space, too; at 4.3 metres long, it\u2019s hardly a leviathan, but it has the cabin and boot space to compete with bulkier alternatives.<\/p>\n
