Review summary
Customers are highly satisfied with the car's excellent value for money, highlighting its impressive features and performance relative to its low price. The car is described as easy and enjoyable to drive, particularly in city environments, thanks to its nippy acceleration and maneuverability. Many users appreciate the car's suitability for local journeys, its compact size, and ease of parking, making it a practical option for urban use and small families. Some customers also note positive experiences with dealership staff and appreciate the available tech features when functioning properly. Areas for improvement include the infotainment system, which is often reported as unreliable, with issues in app connectivity and radio malfunctions. Battery range, while generally adequate for daily use, leaves some customers wishing for a larger battery or more accurate range information. Comfort can be lacking on longer trips or rough roads, with some concerns about seating, noise, and ride quality. A number of reviews mention the car feels lightweight or 'tinny,' with worries about cheap materials and minor fit-and-finish problems, though many accept these due to the vehicle's budget-friendly nature. Additionally, a few customers report unsatisfactory dealership handover experiences or unresolved issues from sales and service teams.

The computerised functions seem to have a life of their own and are not, so far as I am concerned, easily controllable - eg why when I take the car out of the garage and my I/phone is connected when having closed the door and get back in the phone is disconnected and does not come back on automatically?
Similarly, when I take the car out of the garage the map of the area comes on.
Then, having driven for about 10 minutes sometimes -not always- a message comes up telling me to take a break.
Annoying matters which the incredibly complicated handbook does nothing to help.
Nevertheless, I really like the vehicle and its obvious economy over a petrol car.

Surprisingly roomy. Drives lovely. Love the fact driving to work a charging the car but do live in mountains of Wales. Would be better if battery little bigger but worth the money.

Great small EV, my only frustration is the screen with all the icons goes off regularly, and the digital radio goes off for days at a time and i can't listen to music. Also, this leaves me without a sat nav as well

Love my dacia spring. It would be greatly improved if the Chinese tyres were replaced by better safer ones. I have replaced mine and it's like a different car, much improved performance and grip.
Verified
I love the way it moves around town easily also to charge and park in any spot .
It's also a hit using locally for grown up children to use .

No problems with my Spring at the moment. Great car.
All my driving is local so the range when fully charged can be as low as 110 miles. I would have liked this explained to me when I bought the car as I expected 140 miles range

Start key socket light when its dark
Front space for extra storage in motor bay?
default driver warnings to off.
remove lip on the boot to allow better access for example mobility scooter

The value for money when driving and filling up. Could be a bit bigger and have more backspace but that'll come with the future Sandero EV.

A fun little electric car
You get what you pay for, a fun little electric car which is perfect for local journeys.
Positives: fast charge is a must, enjoyably fast acceleration, very comfortable for a small car. Negatives: boot doesn't shut without a slam, the media screen sometimes takes a minute to wake up.
I would recommend the Spring to anyone with the proviso that person knows what they want. It isnt a luxurious long range car and is never going to be....

Also , speed limit control but worked that out ..

I love my Zeb (Zebedee - Spring)
I love my Zeb. The best car I have owned. Perfect car for a lady driver and friend. Just missing a lip stick mirror on sun visor.
But also so nippy and speedy when needed
Verified
Very comfortable and easy to drive. Plenty of room for a small car. People comment how good it looks.
It doesn't seem to charge to the full amount, and some of the controls seem to be a bit complicated. The younger generation find it no problem, but the Seniors like myself, who are more likely to use this car, sometimes find it awkward. However, I still like the car as it suits my needs admirably.

Not my best purchase.
I am having a lot of problems with the car. It pops and fizzes, the screens go blank, there has even been occasion when it wouldn't go into gear. I It is booked in but I have taken it before when I first got it and no fault was detected. I don't have much faith in it and wish I hadn't bought it.

I really like the car . But radio keeps going off

good little car. instructions for charging very poor

Great little nippy car around the city. It has just the right number of features to make the car easy to live with but not wasting money on items that hardly ever get used.
The heater could do with being hotter and adding software for the lower spec cars to use vehicle to load would be a great addition.
Verified
Great little car, easy to handle and as only used for short journeys battery only needs charging around every 8 days
Verified
Simple nippy and works great as a runaround and is chargable overnight on a granny charger - 6 m/kwh - just really well done.
Verified
Very efficient and cheap to run. Everything you need in a small, compact car and without the complication found in other EVs.
