I only have bad associations. If I didn't have the 1991 model, maybe I would think positively about the new one, but I can't because the problems with the old one don't let me forget.

Small Car, Big Value
A car for little money. Super soft suspension, perfect for Polish roads - you don't even need to brake for speed bumps. The engine doesn't jerk at low RPMs when accelerating.
Pros:
Excellent value for money, Very soft suspension, ideal for rough roads, Smooth low-end torque from the engine

I do not recommend this car. Everything breaks, and at the most unexpected moments. You constantly have to tinker in the garage just to keep it running somehow.

Renault 12: A Practical but Troublesome Choice
Driving this car is quite pleasant (especially the wagon, which is very practical). However, frequent minor breakdowns are life-ruining. This car is for the garage tinkerer. I've learned so much from doing my own repairs that I could work in a service center. After buying a 6-year-old Renault 19, I have nothing to do in the garage. It was a good Renault 12, desecrated by the Romanians, and I sold it to them at the market 3 years ago.
Pros:
Pleasant to drive, Kombi (wagon) is very practical
Cons:
Frequent minor breakdowns, Requires constant tinkering and repairs

Typical Country Car!!!!! Not Recommended! A Mistake!
This car is typically for the countryside!!!!! I do not recommend it! It's a mistake! Even models from '91 are okay, but those from '96 are a MISTAKE! I was fooled and bought it new, and I regret it!!!! My money was wasted! I'm selling this old thing even for 2500!

Dacia - A Fond Memory
I have a great sentiment for this car. I learned to drive on it and covered over 320,000 km. Currently, I drive a Toyota Previa, and it's night and day in comparison. However, if I had to choose between a Dacia, Polonez, and a Fiat 126p, I would pick the Dacia. I've driven both a Polonez and a Fiat 126p. The Dacia is more dynamic and comfortable. Reliability is at a similar level.
Pros:
More dynamic than Polonez/Fiat 126p, More comfortable than Polonez/Fiat 126p, Fond memories of learning to drive
Cons:
Reliability comparable to older cars, Vastly outclassed by modern vehicles like Toyota Previa

Legendary Good Car
I own the 2-door Sport version. The car is very nice and well-maintained because it has low mileage --> LOOK AT THE MILEAGE <-- it's so low that the car has only had bodywork repairs 3 times, and it drives. The engine and body are in good condition! I recommend this car; it is truly super. If you find a well-maintained example, it's really a super car!
Pros:
Legendary good car, Very nice and well-maintained, Low mileage, Engine and body in good condition
Cons:
Only 3 bodywork repairs (implies potential past issues, albeit minor)

Overall: 1410
Overall, I gave it a good rating, considering the tech level of this car. I was disappointed with the rear springs; I thought station wagons had stronger springs. Another minus is oil consumption, the scraper ring sticks, and about 150 ml of oil needs to be added per 1000 km. This is not cylinder wear, as compression is good. It starts on LPG down to -12°C (BRC system). The problem is the lack of gasoline supply; the pump failed, it was too old. This will happen to anyone who drives on LPG and...
Pros:
Good overall rating considering technological advancement, Starts on LPG down to -12°C
Cons:
Disappointed with rear springs, expected stronger for a wagon, Oil consumption due to sticking scraper ring (150ml/1000km), Fuel pump failure on older gasoline system

Dacia - Economical & Stylish Recommendation
A very fuel-efficient and attractive car. It's also inexpensive and durable, built with good Renault quality. I highly recommend this car (Dacia). I have the Sport version, and it performs exceptionally well. It has 265,017 km, which I think is not a lot. The car is in excellent condition, no accidents, no scratches because it's kept in a garage. It only has one dent on the rear right fender from a small car parking next to me and hitting my right side with its chrome bumper. The other driver paid for repairs. Looking for an inexpensive way to fix it so it looks good.
Pros:
Excellent fuel economy, Attractive design, Affordable price, Durable and well-built, Great performance (Sport version)
Cons:
Minor dent on rear right fender
