Images of the Dacia Logan MCV estate
The Dacia Logan MCV is a practical estate car which costs less than most superminis
MCV stands for 'Maximum Capacitiy Vehicle', and the boot can hold 573 litres of luggage behind the seats
Costing from around £7,000 the Logan MCV isn't just cheap to buy, its engines are economical too
The most economical engine is the 1.5-litre dCi diesel, which can return 80mpg and emits 90g/km of CO2
There's also 1.0-litre and 0.9-litre petrol engines offering 52.3 and 57.6mpg respectively
The 1.0-litre is rather sluggish, taking 14.7 seconds to get from 0-62mph
Thanks to its turbocharger, the 0.9-litre is quicker, getting from 0-62mph in 11.1 seconds
The diesel feels more powerful and takes 11.8 seconds to hit the same benchmark
Most versions of the Logan MCV are fitted with steel wheels, but alloys are an optional extra
It might not be luxurious, but everything feels built to last and the sat nav works well
A height adjustable seat and steering wheel are optional unless you get the top Laureate trim
There's enough legroom and headroom for adults to sit in the back in reasonable comfort
Safety is improved thanks to three rear headrests, while electric rear windows are an extra
Folding the rear seats down increases boot space from 573 litres to 1,518 litres
If you need a seriously practical car on a budget, the Logan offers great value
