Dacia Jogger
SEVEN MONTHS INTO JOGGER CUSTODIANSHIP, AND I’VE BARELY discussed the way it drives Because it’s anonymously dull and acceptable right? In fact no To drive the Jogger is actually rather better than that Might seem an insane thing to say about a sevenseat boxy MPV but it’s bordering on fun?
Genuinely Despite its smallshippingcontainer dimensions when the Jogger’s presented with a decent stretch of road and an absence of bilious children in the back seat it squirrels along with surprising enthusiasm at least by people carrier standards
It’s just another thing I’ll miss about the big brown beast as its time on the TG fleet has come to an end I am genuinely bereft I love a horsepower German urestate as much as the next Mantafahrer but I’d quite happily have bimbled around in this Jogger for the next decade or so In fact I asked Dacia if I could buy it off them rather than hand it back but annoyingly the residuals were so solid that the asking price was just a little strong for me
Frankly I’m gutted If you can see past the low Euro NCAP figure and as I’ve explained elsewhere there are plenty of reasons to at the very least dig a little deeper than the headline onestar score this is a huge amount of honest useful car for the cash
So as it leaves us here’s my grand departing thought the Jogger might be the best car I’ve driven in a decade Not the fastest obviously Not the most exciting Not even the most practical and comfortable for a family and all their kit But in terms of utterly nailing its brief to offer an absolute mass of unpretentious space and practicality for very sensible money I can’t think of a better briefnailer as it were
