The Renault Duster is a prime example of this new breed of vehicle, and it’s one of the most affordable on the market. It’s not without its flaws, but there’s a lot to like about the Duster. The Duster is available in a number of guises, and the entry-level version is quite appealing. Its 1.6-liter engine produces 106 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque, which isn’t much but it’s enough to get you around town without too much trouble. It’s mated to a five-speed manual transmission and the fuel economy is decent at an estimated 27 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.
