Test Dacia Logan 0.9 TCe 90 Atmosphere - Happy Contrast

The behavior of the Logan always
prefers serenity to agility

In the space of a generation, the Dacia Logan has changed. She started to multimedia, take better care of its plastic, and may even receive a modern gasoline engine, which he succeeds quite well.

A line drawn at right angles, an austere interior as a monastic room, equipment conspicuously absent ... the first generation of Logan had scratched the word "fantasy" in his vocabulary.

She even abandoned his penchant for mechanical proven by adopting the 0.9 TCe freshly STRENNA the Renault Clio 4. With 90 hp and 135 Nm, this three-cylinder turbo is not a lightning war.

A block that does not go below € 16,000 on the Clio!

This aggressive pricing policy necessarily requires some counterparties. The front seats lack of maintenance, their seat is too short, the limited range of settings from finding an ideal driving position, while the manual grip too. Moreover, even if the presentation is more flattering than before, hard plastics still reign supreme. However, the equipment no longer has nothing indecent: 0.9 TCe with this, central locking, CD radio and 1-3/2-3 bench in particular are standard. The controller / speed limiter, Digital Touch multimedia system Nav and air conditioning are available them at a reasonable charge.
