Kia Mohave in Russia - a frame SUV with a multi-dimensional suspension. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Kia Mohave - Comparative Test of Real SUVs Kia Mohave Reviews

Rama gives the position. The once glorified "passing" with the change of generations degenerate into banal parquets. Jeep Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder has long left the ranks of honest SUVs. But Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and in the third generation remained faithful to himself - this is the L200 in the wagon of the wagon. Powerful frame, impressive tire size, continuous rear axle and SUPER SELECT transmission - What else is needed for complete happiness?

Diesel! And I did not offer it for a beginner. And now, a year after the debut in the Russian market, Pajero Sport acquired a 181-strong Turbodiesel 4N15, already familiar by. The 8-speed automatic assists it. Test car in Ultimate version pulls 3,050,000 rubles.

Mitsubishi opponent in today's duel -. Also a large frame with an 8-speed automaton and turbodiesel, but 3.0 liters and 70 "horses" is more powerful. Not quite honest? So because Mohave with a similar level of equipment is cheaper - 2,850,000 rubles. Honest does not happen!

Kia Mohave.

Debutated in the distant 2008 and the title unequivocally hinted, which is focused on the North America market. Nevertheless, sold from us. Organized at the factory in Kaliningrad. Last year, Mohave has undergone restyling.

ENGINE:

diesel: 3.0 (250 hp) - from 2,419,900 rubles.

Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

The third generation machine debuted back in 2015, but before our market got only in 2016 and only with a gasoline engine. Diesel modification appeared this year. The car is assembled in Thailand.

Engines:

gasoline: 3.0 (209 hp) - from 2 799 990 rubles.

diesel: 2.4 (181 hp) - from 2 399 000 rubles.

Asian beauty

The image of the current Pajero Sport recalled the Chinese actor Bolo Jena, a familiar to everyone who watched militants with a nasty translation on the lined VHS-cassettes. Packed Asian Mitsubishi looks strange. The face is fine - East Privacy, Muscular Front Wings. Chrome-plated ICS-elements on the front bumper are transmitted. But with the sorrows of the sadness. Because of the side windows racing to the sky, it turned out to be heavy, flowing to the bumper rear lights only enhance the effect.

I open the door quickly, let's grab the handle on the front rack and jump into the swaying body. Inside this is almost L200, only more expensive - for example, the instrument panel is decorated with a colorful trip-computer display. Thai hands magic not only in a massage - carefully collect cars, too, know how. Sorry, on materials saved.

Plastic is trying very hard to resemble soft, but knock on it - a plug, a gift from Africa. For a pickup, it will come down, however, in the car for three million I would like the materials of more expensive. Like more thoughtful ergonomics. It does not matter that the seat has a minimum adjustment set, the main thing is that the profile is not bad. It is worse that it is slightly deployed relative to the steering wheel and pedals. After a couple of hours, planting "three-quarters" begins to tire. Yes, this savings on trifles. Closer glass - only at the driver. Pleasant skin on the steering wheel? Only in places of grip, and for others they were sacrificed a couple of kerz boots.

Mohave is the opposite. Appearance is calm and almost boring. Nothing to do something. How to cling to. Kia looked slightly outdated immediately after the debut. But now, after almost ten years, he is boiled. These forms will almost certainly be relevant for another ten years.

It is a little more difficult to wade into the salon than in Mitsubishi: the driver was trimmed with a handle on the windshield rack, although they did not forget about the passenger. Feel? As if he had moved from Economy to a business class. The plastic is soft not only on the touch, but also in appearance, painted inserts on the center console skillfully masked under the metal, and there is something "wooden". Updated, Mohave has gained a new instrument panel with lunar backlight and red arrows. Simple and elegant. And there is no feeling that they saved on me: the landing is correct, the seat - with the lumbar focus, the adjustment of the steering wheel in height is equipped with an electric drive. Whoever five years ago said that the Salon "Korean" will be better and richer than the sacral pajero!

Mésta for small things - with a margin, and that's good. On a large SUV ride not only to work - it would be nice that the smartphone does not conflict with a glass of coffee because of the "housing". So it turns out that KIA is in all of a slightly sensible Mitsubishi.

Your place on the gallery


For Mohave passengers and at all. Spacious, the seats of the second row move forward-back, the angle of inclination of the back is adjustable. There is a separate climate control and heating of the seats. In the third row, landing is far from ideal, but

The review of the Korean SUV KIA MOHAVE, describes the technical characteristics, configuration, told about the exterior and interior, the luggage department, the advantages and disadvantages obtained on the basis of the reviews of the owners.

Kia Mohav in Russia

In America, the Korean car is known under the name Borrego, the car was produced in LX, EX and LIMITED.

But in the US, the brand was not gained great popularity and was well sold, so in 2011, the release of the North American SUV was discontinued.

The technical characteristics of the car produced for Russia remained the same as the North American model, only the number of modifications, options for engines and transmissions has decreased.

Even the car in the Russian version has a more powerful generator, an enlarged capacity battery is applied.

In the Russian Federation, the car is supplied already in a restyled version, with a diesel engine and automatic transmission, a gasoline 6-cylinder engine 3.8 liters first was also declared, but did not go to the series.

But the departure and high clearance went all-terrain, besides, all machines are produced only in all-wheel drive execution.

Kia Mohave Russian assembly is a classic SUV with a frame construction, named after the California desert, where Kia cars are tested.

The basis of the body Mohav is a platform, a lot of common elements with Huyndai IX55 and Hyundai Veracruz.

Exterior and interior

In the appearance of Mohave, there is nothing remarkable - it looks even somewhat boring, attention attracts except that the impressive sizes chrome grille radiator.

The front headlights are large, standard trapezoidal shape, lines are straight and simple, and yet, thanks to its considerable sizes, the SUV is solid.

The cabin plastic of the Korean car is inexpensive, although not the worst quality, there are wooden inserts, the steering column is adjustable in all positions (electric joystick).

Niche for things in the cabin is a lot - in the trimming of doors there are pockets for plastic bottles and various trifles, there are two compartments in the front armrest, two cup holders are located on the CPT console.






The front seats are equipped with an electric drive, in the premium package they have many different adjustments, sit on them comfortable, and the only minus is quite short "sids".


In a more expensive version, the option "Pedal node with an electrically regulating" is available, very useful for short-grow drivers.

The combination of devices is quite deeply drowned in the panel, with white backlight (and red around the edges), very informative, with bright sunlight it does not glare.

But there is an inconvenience - the location of the climate installation cannot be called successful, with bright light on its screen, the testimony is practically not visible, and even at night it is difficult to see what the temperature is set.

The rolled driver behind the wheel will not be easy, even if the seat should be pulled back, the place is not too much.

But the passengers of the second row feel in the car quite comfortable, and three here will not be closely.


The most distant "gallery" is suitable for children, after all, adult people will be inconvenient there.

Kia Mohave Reviews

Korean crossover car owners like it in general, although it is not devoid of flaws.

Positive reviews.

A large plus machine is a spacious interior, and if it houses no more than 4 passengers, then for luggage there is more than enough.

Also among the advantages of auto owners note:

  • powerful engine providing excellent dynamics;
  • efficient, soft brakes;
  • high reliability, serious breakdowns occur infrequently;
  • easy control;
  • relatively small flow of diesel fuel;
  • good equipped, in the car there are many additional options.

The main disadvantages of Kia Mohav:

  • rigid suspension;
  • weak paintwork;
  • not the most good assembly quality;
  • several outdated design.

Shock absorbers (especially rear) are not designed for such a heavy machine, because of this car rides Valko, with swinging, and the parts of the suspension often have to change, since they cannot withstand the load.

The uneven road is felt in the cabin, especially the rear passengers notice.

The design of the SUV several archaic, climate installation and audio system also do not look modern, but it is not surprising, because the car is produced since 2009.

New Kia Mohave In 2017, fans of this brand are waiting with impatience.

It is time to update the model, release a car that meets all modern requirements.

Test drive and car overview.

5 / 5 ( 1 voice)

Korean analogue of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, and on the fact "American" to the bone's brain, Kia Mohave is an absolutely niche product on the Russian market. And how not to be Nishev, if it is a huge seven-party frame SUV with Diesel, the design of which has long time to change in favor of modern trends of autoinadundry? The same Prado looks much better, not to mention a bunch of other competitors. And, nevertheless, in connection with the restyling of 2016, and for the Russian Federation, only in the spring of 2017, Mohave became definitely prettier, especially inside. All details about it read in our review!

Design

Littelling Mohave restyling, which, as it is not difficult to guess the name, was originally developed for the North American market, it seems the same boring as its predecessor, and it is unlikely that one who comes from surprise and delight, seeing him on the road. In the appearance of a large SUV Kia Motors, there is still nothing remarkable - this is to this day "workhorse" and nothing more. But the "horses" updated bumpers, a radiator grille and 18-inch wheels of the wheels, and also appeared LED running lights over fog-optics. And the color gamma model has been replenished with blue and brown shades. Here, in fact, all innovations.


The new chrome grid of the radiator is not highlighted as a head optics around the edges. On the side of the car with American roots looks no more interesting than the UAZ Patriot, and because the domestic machine is almost twice as cheaper! The change in the pattern of light alloy disks to the situation was not strongly influenced. "Feed" from the updated Mohave is purely practical - with uncomplicated lamps, suitable on the rear wings, and a huge lid of the trunk. Behind the door of the luggage compartment hides a truly chic amount of cargo space, which cannot but rejoice. With two folded seats, this volume reaches 2.7 cubic meters, which, taking into account the smooth gender, allows you to organize full-fledged bedrooms without any problems. No wonder the car was designed for the United States! The electric drive at the door of the trunk, as it was not, and not (only the usual closer is provided), and the opening is low for people whose growth exceeds 180 cm.

Design

As the foundation of the restyling version of Mohave, the former framework is performing: in front of it is the suspension on dual levers, and the back is a multi-dimensional. For the surcharge, the rear pneumatic suspension (and self-locking rear differential of increased friction) is offered, but it should be borne in mind that there will be little sensible on the harsh off-road from it, since the design of an SUV is distinguished by cross-handed hasshes, and the smoke clearance has a cross-line model - just 195 mm, although The manufacturer claims that under the bottom of as much as 217 mm. For serious ride of rough terrain, the clearance is frankly modest.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

The Mohave 2017 model year is unambiguously option for the city and light off-road, and not for extreme Russian conditions, even despite the presence of a frame and a full drive. For operation in Russia, it is not perfectly prepared, but not bad: it has an 82-liter fuel tank with steel protection and a jack hidden in a organizer under the floor of the cargo compartment, as well as a full-size spare wheel, an alarm button for calling emergency services at an accident "ERA -Gallons, stabilization system, assistant when starting up the mountain and separate climate control. For winter, heated outdoor mirrors, in front and rear seats, steering wheel and windshield in the area of \u200b\u200b"janitors". In addition, there is a cabin electrotane.

Comfort

Salon at Mohave is an American spacious, you can not say anything. It can be seen that it is designed for a big and friendly family, which takes a lot of things on the road and does not forget about paper glasses with McDonalds coffee - the local cup holders seem to be specifically created for them. Seven seats are a good family decision, only the children in the case of which it is better to place on the last row - an adult will not like it there, because the third row is not suitable for the inclined passengers, and it is not very easy to get on it. From the innovations in the interior there is a leather multicolor with a wooden insert and an electric adjustment / departure electric drive, a more thought-out dashboard with a classic layout and a large eighty-levy touchscreen of the multimedia complex. The left needle of the steering wheel, unfortunately, slightly overlaps the control unit of the all-wheel drive transmission, suspension and system of course stability - you have to press the buttons and twist the "washer" to the touch or for a moment to be distracted from the road to see what is located. The headlight washer button is not too successfully.


The climate control unit layout (3 zones) is logical and understandable, the climate management is already available in the initial configuration. Automatic windows were obtained only by the front doors, and on the rear producer decided to save. On the ceiling - air ducts, lighting plafof, visors to protect against the sun with the retractable section and the electrical (hatch - in the top version). The front armors can not boast of the ideal landing, but they quickly get used to them. Driving place - with adjustment of the lumbar backpage. For the first time, Nappa spare leather with perforation is first used for the first time, this is the privilege of the most expensive Premium option, like the armrest with a cooled box for drinks.


The standard equipment Mohave includes frontal and side airbags, anti-lock brake brake (ABS), stabilization systems (ESC) and helping to lift up mountain (HAC), cruise control, parking sensors "in a circle" and rain sensor. For an additional fee, it is now possible to obtain monitoring of dead zones (BSDs) and 4 Circular Video Opera (AVM) Cameras, which demonstrate the situation in front and rear in various variations. There are no more innovations in the field of safety.


Information and entertainment complex and the dynamics of Mohave updated. From now on, the JBL columns and a media system with an eight-fashioned color touchscreen, navigation, buttons on the steering wheel, Bluetooth and AUX / USB connectors for connecting mobile devices, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-android Auto, are put on the car. The processor has a new "multimedia" 2-nuclear, 1 GHz, RAM - 1 GB, OS - Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The sound of the system is excellent, the graphics at a decent level, but the responses for pressing the fingers are not very fast, and the navigator capable of showing at home in 3D is sometimes confused in the testimony.

Kia Mojava Specifications

Under the hood - an old-kind three-liter diesel engine EN590 with a return of 250 hp at 3800 rpm. In South Korea, he gives out 14 "horses" more, but in Russia this option is simply not beneficial in the grace of transport tax. A newest box-machine with 8 steps works with it - with it Mohave accelerates to 100 km / h in just 8.7 seconds, which is an excellent indicator for a huge SUV. Maximum speed - 190 km / h. According to the manufacturer's statement, the consumption of "heavy fuel" is 9.3 l / 100 km, in the city - 12.4 l / 100 km, and on the highway - 7.6 l / 100 km. However, judging by the reviews of car owners, real numbers can be different.

26.03.2017

Kia Mojave (Other Name: Kia Borrego) - the mid-sized SUV of Kia Motors, which was designed specifically for the American market. Large SUVs are an old passion of most car enthusiasts, even despite the fact that such machines are not entirely convenient for operation in large cities and have a fairly high cost. If the budget for the purchase of a car is unlimited, then the choice of cars of this segment is indecently large, but if the budget is limited, I recommend to look at Kia Mojava with mileage.

A bit of history:

A prototype for Kia Mojave was the concept of Kia KCD II Mesa, which was shown to review the public in 2005 on the Motor Show in Detroit. This model should have become the company's flagship model and take a niche to the step higher than Kia Sorento. At the development stage, the project was called "HM". The name Mojave car received in honor of the desert of the same name in California, where the test site of the North American division of Kia is located. The official premiere of Kia Mojave on the World Arena took place in 2008 on a driving school in Detroit. The design of the car was developed by the famous German designer Peter Shreyer. Initially, the car was sold only in the United States, but, a year later, the geography of sales expanded, and the crossover went on sale to the markets of South Korea, Europe and some countries CIS. Cars are produced in Korea, Kazakhstan and Russia.

This model was built on an upgraded platform from, while maintaining an independent suspension of all wheels and a four-wheel drive. Also, in the development of a car, many developments were borrowed from another Korean SUV - Hyundai IX55. Auto equipped with a frame structure of the body and has some features characteristic of the American market machines, such, for example, the electrically regulating the pedal node belongs. In 2016, information about the tests of the new Kia Mojave, whose debut should take place in 2017.

Disadvantages and weak points of Kia Mohava with mileage

Traditionally, for Korean cars, paintwork is not the highest quality, there are comments and to corrosion resistance of the body. So, for example, on cars of the first years of release, you can find small foci of rust. The main places to pay special attention to - thresholds, wheeled arches, trunk lid, door edges and front of the hood (especially frequent bugs appear in the radiator grille area).

Engines

Kia Mojave is equipped with two types of engines: gasoline - 3.8 (274 hp) and diesel - 3.0 (250 hp). The diesel engine has proven itself only from the positive side, it has not only good dynamic indicators, but also a large margin of strength. However, for the trouble-free and long life of the power unit, it is necessary to change the oil at least once in 8-10 thousand km of mileage. The only advantages of this engine is that its fuel equipment has been adapted to our operating conditions and diesel fuel is not the highest quality. Thanks to this, the owners are very rarely faced with problems in the fuel system. Fuel consumption, depending on the driving manner, hesitates from 12 to 15 liters per hundred.

The engine is equipped with a timing chain drive, this node is very reliable and with timely maintenance of the power unit does not require a replacement of 200-250 thousand km. The main problems faced by the owners do not occur with the engine itself, but with its attachments. For example, clamps, fixing the power of the hydraulic power steering system, weaken the radiator protection bolts, etc. weaken. The gasoline engine 3.8 is also quite reliable, but, due to a large fuel consumption (about 20 liters per 100 km in the city), the car with such a power unit was not in demand among motorists and is extremely rare.

Transmission

Kia Mojave can be equipped with the following types of gearboxes - five-speed mechanics and an eight-step automatic machine, a six-speed automatic transmission is installed on cars imported from the USA. Operating experience has shown that all boxes are reliable and have a fairly large resource of work. But, in the opinion of many owners and servicemen, the most optimal option for the acquisition is a car with an eight-speed automata, as it combines good efficiency, softness of switching and reliability. If this transmission switches the transmissions with delays and jerks, most likely it is required to update the software control unit for the automatic transmission. But, in some cases, the cause of the incorrect operation of the transmission can serve as valve hydraulic contacts.

Also, there are no special complaints and the performance of mechanics, even the clutch here is at least 100,000 km of run. The car is equipped with a full drive system, the front axle is connected using an electromagnetic clutch or forcibly, when choosing a special mode of operation of the transmission. From the disadvantages of this system, it is possible to note only a quick overheating of the coupling with frequent slips. It is worth noting that when overheating the system automatically turns off the front-wheel drive, which can be an unpleasant surprise when trying to overcome the complex area of \u200b\u200bthe road.

Features and disadvantages of chassis Kia Mohava

The car is equipped with a fully independent suspension: in front set McPherson racks, rear - multi-type with pneumatic balls. The chassis is very hardy, and, even with a tight operation, its resource will be about 80,000 km, and, with the average loads, most of the suspension elements will delight the mileage of 120-150 thousand km. On cars that often jumped off-road, while trying to make collapse, dimensions and angles may not become. Many specialists claim that this comes from what leads frame, therefore, before buying, it is necessary to check the frame geometry. The most common problem with which the owners of this model are faced, this is the failure of the body position sensor, when diagnosing it turns out that the sensor is working. The main reason for this ailment is in poor quality sensor wiring (after the first winter, the wiring begins to rot). Of the disadvantages of the brake system, you can note a small resource of the front brake pads - 20-30 thousand km.

Salon

The salon is made of medium-quality materials, and, here, about the quality of the assembly, the owners respond differently. Some argue that the salon is assembled poorly, because of this, there is a large number of crickets and other extraneous sounds. But, there are those who consider the salon very high quality and put this car in one row with more expensive models. The main reason for different opinions appeared due to the fact that the market introduces various assembly machines, for example, machines are collected in Korea possess better quality than Russian copies. The car has enough rich equipment, however, not all systems boast of good performance.

Most often, the owners are purchasing a rear-type camera, the fact is that it regularly turns off (1-2 times a month), and to eliminate the problem, you will have to go to the service. Also, it is worth noting that once in 2 years the camera has to be changed. There are complaints and to the performance of the climate system, the main problem is not in the climate control itself, but in its wiring (curse contacts). If the washer of the glass suddenly stopped working, most likely, the replacement of the fuse is required, which is located in the cabin. On some copies, the owners came across the failures of the audio system and the on-board computer, which is installed on the instrument panel.

Outcome:

It is a fairly reliable and unpretentious car, and thanks to good chassis, roominess and good equipments, the car can compete with more expensive cars of this segment.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

The advantages and disadvantages of Kia Mojave 2018-2019 in the new body are identified on the basis of reviews of real owners. More detailed pros and cons of Kia Mohave 3.0 diesel and 3.8 gasoline with a machine gun and a full-wheel drive 4x4 can be found from the stories below.

Ownership reviews

At the moment, the car is in my operation for 3.5 years (mileage 70,000 km), which allows me to give more weighted estimates of its performance characteristics.

Engine, perhaps, the main advantage of Mojave in the eyes of the public. But, for me personally, it is not so significant. The engine is frisky, picks up from the bottom of Niza, a tangible supply "under the pedal".

Box machine on 8 steps. The origin is unknown. In general, the box does not cause complaints: switches smoothly and does not tupit.

Four-wheel drive. The system of full drive, of course, is not off-road, but for my modest purposes is quite enough. So far I have not stuck anywhere, but I did not climb into a serious off-road.

Suspension. Front - springs, rear - pneuma. In the stock, the anti-American suspension is soft, suggests a good road surface and is afraid of sharp rebuildings. In general, I like it. Of the minuses: Floss, sometimes rearranges the rear axle on irregularities.

Controllability. Well, what could be the handling of such a barn? The steering wheel is empty and "long", and the brakes are somewhat wadded.

Interior. In beige performance, it looks very expensive and cozy, and the muffled backlight in the door inserts under the tree (by the way, quite natural) gives the interior of the highlight. Plastic in the main mass is hard. Seven seven salon itself. One of the most spacious salons in the classroom. But you get used to you quickly, and I want even more - for example, as in the new patrol.

Noise isolation. At the height, many prases. As for the audio system, it gives a completely acceptable sound from a good source. Radio sound is mediocre.

Review about Kia Mojave 3.0D (250 hp) at 2012

Video Feedback

He took a new one in the salon in August 2013. Double (2015 and 2016) traveled in Europe for 6.5 - 7.5 thousand kilometers with daily runs up to 1,500 km. According to good roads, it moves very comfortable, the power of the extended (of. The dealer reprogrammed brains with the preservation of the warranty to 300 hp). In general, Kia Mojave is a very reliable car without much breakdowns (no exploitation has ceased due to repair).

Advantages:
1. A bunch of 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel with an 8-speed ZF machine - this is a song (I measure on the empty machine overclocking to 100 was 7.2 s after chipovka).
2. The car never got up because of the breakdown, went every day.
3. Catering is awesome (somehow we went on vacation through Helsinki Airport as part of me and four women - imagine how much baggage was like - everything fit in the trunk together with the purchases made in Finland).
4. Extremely decent patency (after all, there is a blocking of disduction and a prayer).
5. One of the last real frame jeeps.

From the flaws, I note:
1. Machine - the flagship of the brand KIA, but already very outdated. There are no heaps of small rain sensor, etc., the camera in the rear view mirror, outdated multimedia and instrument panel.
2. Pneumatic suspension is a quiet horror (wildly rigidly in small irregularities, before lying policemen have to slow down, the remote sensors of the rear suspension, changed every winter, changed the warranty, but it is quite uncomfortable to ride with a non-working podachka).
3. A very long consumption - without special traffic jams 13-15l (summer-winter). When in the spring at work was transferred to the center (on Petrogradka) with surviving traffic jams, consumption confidently crawled to 18-19 liters.
4. Since modern diesel (Punforskins, TNVD, etc.) had to carefully treat the choice of refueling (well at least there is no particulate filter).

Eugene, goes to Kia Mohave 3.0 Diesel (250 hp) AT 2013.

Where can one buy?

Mail engine 250 hp Picks up with a bang, auto economical, consumption at a speed of 100 km / h corresponds to the declared plant by the manufacturer, roomy, suitable for a family to seven people, a warm salon. Service is simple and prices for spare parts acceptable and not expensive, cheaper by 50% than on and Prado.

During the mileage period, the warranty changed the engine control unit, steering thrust, rearview chamber. Front Cardan replaced - on the control company.

He himself changed the front and rear shock absorbers and the springs to Pradovsky - the front routing was left, the car became stable on the go and at a speed of more than 100 km / h, replaced the front hub bearings.

Review of Kia Mojave 3.0 Diesel on the automatic machine 2010

In general, Kia Mohav is so-so car. After not exactly what the winnings in the price-quality ratio. Although I'll think about it can still overpaid 20 greenery thousand and take a more reliable brand. Moreover, the warranty announced by the plant just an empty sound!

Pluses: Salon wide and spacious, climate control and other comforts of comfort at level, rear view camera and parking sensors without comments, at the level, and what is on the rearview mirror, then this is an amateur. Additional seats rather plus than minus. The ABS is a little late, on the track is good, keeping the road, the fuel consumption is pleasant, the truth is the side computer of Lukavit, can show 9.5 liters per hundred, but in fact a liter is 1.5 more.

A tank with good capacity, a decent stock reserve, it is especially noticeable when you go on Kazakhstan's expanses with runs between big cities (read refueling with good gasoline) by 500 or more km. The engine leaves a pleasant impression - the pickup is good, tears from the intersection, and with the overtakers almost like a sports car.

In the minuses: there were unpleasant and incomprehensible breakdowns, but they are all. Twice had to remove the gasoline tank, in the first case, failed the power supply of the fuel pump (replaced), God was pretty and did not happen. Then the smell of gasoline unexpectedly appeared, it turned out to flow at the bottom of the tank (the armor is whole, and there is a flow ???), strange, had to be filmed and brewed.

On the forums there are many complaints on the stiffness stiffness and shock absorbers - it's true! My rear shock absorbers fastening with a difference of 30,000 km (first after 90 thousand). Revised the cup of fastening and shock absorber head. I also had to brew welding. Consequently, the stated characteristics are not true! Due to the elongated base, the longitudinal squabble is destructive for this car. Rear passengers can be forgotten about comfort if the road is not very smooth and long.
