The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

I don't have personal experience of the Stepway Comfort, but, my son-law-has one and is perfectly happy with it. SiL always had a Company car, on his retirement, he needed to acquire a car as economically as possible. He was going to buy a 5-6 year old car, until I pointed out he could get a new, or almost new Dacia for the same money. I had observed the various Dacia models were very much in evidence in France. To the best of my knowledge, the major "complaint" regarding the various Dacia models is that their NCAP scores are not particularly high.

They are great value for money . Dacia are owned by Renault/Nissan , so basically you are getting a old model Renault re shelled with new body. So the transmission/suspension/engine are a little old school but it does mean it’s reliable and spares are cheap .

I ordered the Stepway Prestige last November. It comes with all the gadgets another car costing thousands more would have. Hoping to take delivery of it in April. All reports on it are good if you are not concerned about the NCAP rating. ( I am not ).
If @Drago was still with us, he would advise you to buy a Volvo at £20000 more .

Well he is right . If you have a spare £20 grand 😀

Have I missed something ( not for the first time 😂) . Has Drago left us ?

Yes, apparently , but he has done it before. He might come back in few weeks when he realises how much he misses us.

He hasn't been around for a while, and I did hear a rumour that he's gone for good, but wouldn't bet on it.

It would appear so. He supposedly requested to site support that his account be deleted. I didn’t see it or know why so who knows. He still seems to be showing up as a member.

@Drago "he comes and goes like the wind and rain"

That’s a shame if he has gone for good.
The problem is very easy to wind oneself up when on forums and fb. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve flounced off the yachts and Yachting forum over the years. Mostly because of the same little troll but I always end up going back because it’s one of the few online places I can discuss a sport I love .
Most people don’t play as nice as the people on this thread 😀

I hope he comes back too. I didn't always agree with his views but he was interesting to read.

Yes, that has been exactly my Son-in-Law's experience, he bought a 1 year old model, and has now had it for about 2 years. As I said, he is very pleased with it. I have moved up to "top father-in-law" status, because, I suggested it So, win, win.
