► ► Remarkable quality, excellent Bi-Fuel option Budget cars generally come with a list of caveats longer that their spec sheets, that end up with you electing to buy a two-year old supermini instead. But, just like it has been in the past, the all-new 2021 Dacia Sandero could continue to be the one to really flip that notion upside-down. It remains available from £7,995 with white paint and black bumpers, of course; but it's the £8,995 'Essential' range that sets the bar. Yes. The middle-of-Lidl Dacia has gone a bit, well, Waitrose. What you get in a 2021 Sandero is the same no-nonsense approach to motoring Dacia has always represented, but with few (if any) real compromises in build quality, style or basic comforts. Rather than being based on a 'cast-off' platform, it's a thoroughly up-to-date Renault CMF-B model developed as thoroughly as any Clio or Micra - with some shared safety equipment and a characterful 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine.
