3.8/5, Carbuyer "The Dacia Logan MCV (maximum capacity vehicle) estate has a clear purpose for existing – it's the cheapest estate car you can buy, offering lots of space and practicality for not much money. One of the sacrifices you have to make for this is style – the car is clearly not an upmarket estate like a Volvo, with an ungainly long rear overhang and brittle exterior plastics that mark it out as the bargain-basement special it is. As you’d expect, the Logan MCV feels fairly basic – particularly the entry-level model – but it's still dependable and should be reliable thanks to the fact it uses parts from Dacia's parent company Renault. The Logan MCV uses a range of engines from Renault cars, but the best of the bunch is the 1.5-litre dCi diesel, which is free to tax and returns good fuel economy. The car didn’t perform very well in Euro NCAP's crash-safety tests, and it's worth considering this before buying – it's another sacrifice you have to make for that super-low price. The Logan MCV's main rivals are the Skoda Fabia estate and the SEAT Ibiza ST estate, but the Dacia is much cheaper than either of them in Access or Ambience trim. Even the top-of-the-range Laureate model only costs a little bit more than the entry-level Fabia."
3/5, Auto Express, "The Dacia Logan MCV is another fine addition to the range for anyone after an affordable load-lugger that will get you from A to B. Still we would avoid the Access version."
