Negative feedback:
* «Duster is not the most comfortable car. Noise insulation leaves much to be desired, and the suspension is quite stiff. In addition, the ground clearance is too low for off-road driving.» — Victor
* «The basic equipment of the Duster is very poor. We had to buy many additional options, which significantly increased the cost of the car.» — Elena

Generally:
Renault Duster with front-wheel drive and automatic transmission is a reliable and affordable car that is well suited for use in urban environments and on light off-road conditions. It offers a spacious interior and a roomy trunk, but the basic equipment is rather sparse, and the level of sound insulation leaves much to be desired.
