[edit] Flat windshield
The wind shield is fltter not flat. This allows it to be sag bent rather than press bent, reducing investment.
- I seriously doubt that the windshield is flat... I can believe that the windshield is flatter, in order to be cheaper to produce. The last production car I can remember with a flat windshield was the Fiat Panda. Anyway the windshield does not look flat on the pictures.Hektor 15:48, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Supermini or small family car?
The Logan is 4.35 m long, and has a huge boot. In developing markets it is similar to the Fiat Siena, Renault Clio Sedan, Ford Fiesta Sedan, Škoda Fabia Sedan... so it is in my opinion a supermini. Small family cars are also 4.20-4.30 m long, but have a larger inner space, smaller boot and more powerful engines, let alone material qualities. NaBUru38 - March 13 2006, 18:30 UYT
Another aspect: a hatchback version is expected. If current Dacia has a 500L boot and the hatchback around 250L, it will be 30-40cm shorter, or 4.00m. That is the same as the lstest superminis - Renault Clio, Fiat Punto and Peugeot 207. NaBUru38 01:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I own a Renault Logan (I live in Colombia) and the car is a small family car. It is as big as the Chevrolet Astra or the VW polo sedan. 200.106.192.32 04:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

- The Volkswagen Polo is also a supermini / subcompact car, and it's smaller than the Astra. More infomation: current Hyundai Accent and SEAT Córdoba are 4280 mm long, the Kia Rio 4240 mm, the Škoda Fabia Sedan 4220 mm and the Chevrolet Aveo 4310 mm [1]. All these models are superminis / subcompact cars, so the 4250 mm long Logan should also be referred to as one of them. -- NaBUru38 00:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Misc.
It was a stupid decision to name it Dacia Logan. Here in Hungary they could sell 3x as many Logans if they called it Renault, because people know Dacia is romanian and there is a lot of historical hatred between the two countries. Also, the former USSR countries are not very fond of romanians.
It is said that on many Logans the paint peels off in flakes because it is spray-painted by human workers not robots and rumanian workers do not obey cleanliness regulations and touch the bare metal with bare hands so the grease will prevent paint from sticking well. About 15% of Logans sold in Hungary has returned with this issue.
The lack of ABS in the most basic version of Logan is an outright criminal act, I think, especially considering that it is bought as a family car mostly. It kills innocent kids. In fact it should not be sold without ABS + electronic stabilization because it has tall belly height and very prone to capsizing. The only version worth buying is the newest diesel engine one, which has ABS and power-steering by default, but that costs a lot more. 195.70.32.136 08:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Somewhat of an alarmist, aren't ya?! I highly doubt that the absence of ABS in an "outright criminal act" or that it would result in the killing of innocent kids!! At the end of the day, this is a basic reliable car, which has its limitations in terms of safety features. There are MANY other cars in a comparable price range, which suffer from the same limitations... Many of the Daewoos and Kias come to mind, and certainly most of the eastern European products (except Skoda) are technically inferior to the Logan. While I agree with you that the use of the Dacia name in Hungary was not a good marketing move by Renault, an objective assessment of the car itself suggests that the vehicle is decent for the price.
-- He-he... Judgeing by the comment posted by 195.70.32.136 one could thinkg the Romanians have some serious reason to hate Hungarians - and it seems that could be a pretty justified reason. -Paul- 12:33, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Anyway,Hungary is the largest export market for Dacia in Central Europe.[2]
