Dacia Sandero review
As the cheapest new car you can buy in Britain, the Dacia Sandero doesn't exactly have a reputation for fast-paced action. That could all change later this summer when a new Top Gear series starts.
When the show gets on the road, starting June 30th, a new reasonably priced car will be brought in to replace the Kia cee apostrophe d. Top Gear won't say what the replacement is, but it's being suggested that it's a Dacia.

The sportiest car currently on your local Dacia dealer's lot is the Sandero hatchback, available with Renault's new 0.9-liter turbo engine developing 90 horsepower.

There's nothing anywhere on the internet to confirm the Sandero will star on Top Gear, but we have managed to find a little Easter Egg.

In their review of the Sandero, Top Gear say this: "The Sandero deserves to shake-up the sector. It's a reasonably car for a frankly astonishing price."

No, we did not mess up their spelling to prove a point, and it could be an intentional anagram to tip us off.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
