[All Your Base]

Your average hatchback. Plus its ugly. And Eastern European.

Seriously Uncool.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Generic commuter car. Uncool.

[Roger the Horse]

If it weren't for Top Gear it'd be sub zero.

 

[ToyGTone]

 

[Danny]

The Top Gear Dacia Sandero joke.

Outside of that, it's altogether average. Nothing that makes me hate it but nothing that gets the blood pumping.

Meh.

 

[Sage Ages]

James May.

 

[Wiegert]

A bargain-basement Eurohatch built on a decent platform as part of a marque that's been increasing in terms of respectability over the last half decade. The very definition of unassuming and average in the current Euro car market (outside of modern Audi saloons).

Uncool.

 

[Liquid]

Innocent and inoffensive enough. Not bad looking. No pretensions, and I kind of like that.

Uncool

 

[GTP_Ingram]

It's just an appliance. Nothing hideous, nothing exciting, just very, very cheap. I quite like it for that, in all honesty. Uncool.

 

[Dagger311]

Top Gear.

SU.

 

[Adamgp]

Ugly hatchback, plus Top Gear.

SU.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Not a supercar
Not a racecar
Not a hot hatch
Not a douche ownership issue
Not a stance-yo-attractor
Not a ugly-mobile, for it's class at least.
Not a Porsche
Not a garage-queen
Not a homolagation special
Not 'Mur'can

plus

It's Romanian, what could possibly go wrong?!

 

[CSMDuty11]

Actually, isn't the Stepway the off-road version?

 

[Doodle]

It's a car. Meh.

 

[Jahgee]

Top Gear makes this car Sub Zero/Seriously Uncool, depending on your views of Top Gear

 

[mustang fanatic]

Ugly and probably 90% plastic.

Seriously uncool.

 

[The87Dodge]

An ugly looking Russian hatchback with unpleasing performance figures.

Seriously Uncool.

 

[GTRacer22]

An ugly looking Russian hatchback

It's Romanian.

.....​

James May's Sub Zero = Seriously Uncool.

 

[The87Dodge]

It's Romanian

​

​

My bad.

 

[YSSMAN]

Cheap.

Cladding.

Basic.

James May.

SUB-ZERO.

Seriously though. I'd buy one of these so fast if they were sold in the US.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Seriously Uncool. This is built for people who want to go from A to B.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Overused running gag from Top Gear.

Uncool.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Why do I like this car? I voted cool because polling uncool kinda seemed wrong for this car... I would honestly drive it

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Meh.

Isn't too bad looking, I've seen worse. Isn't part of the stance sticker bomb tosser society.

But isn't anything to shout about and mainly driven by people who don't care about cars or anyone elses.

 

[JR98]

Uncool. Cheap European hatchback

 

[Stotty]

Cool... if the absolute bottom of the range, cheapest, lowest spec version.

Otherwise uncool.

 

[SVX]

Somewhat attractive little thing. Not offensive enough for uncool. Meh.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Actually, isn't the Stepway the off-road version?

It's just a jacked-up regular Sandero, it's still front wheel drive. The Duster is Dacia's proper off-roader.

 

[Ettick]

Sub zero. Because race car.
