Top 10 reliable inexpensive cars. Which cars are better in terms of reliability. Great Wall Haval H9 - the price justified by the quality

According to reliability, different sources determine in their own way. Well, I must say - this is a fairly relevant topic today. Of course, among those people who are fond of cars. Well, be that as it may, it is best to focus on the reviews of the owners. Since this is the most reliable information, and you need to focus on it, making a rating for reliability.

Principles of Compilation of Statistics

So, first of all, you should say a few words about how such lists are compiled. In general, there are several criteria to consider. Only then is the rating of car brands in terms of reliability logical, competent and, most importantly, competent. Everything should be taken into account - the work of the machine components, reliability, the level of comfort in the cabin, the transportation of luggage, the impression of the car, design, exterior and much more. But in general, only four criteria stand out. The first is the complaints of the owners. The second is reliability and quality. The third is expenses and ownership. And finally, the fourth is how well the dealership service is. If we take into account all the above factors, then it will be possible to draw up a competent rating of car brands in terms of reliability, as well as find out which concern produces the highest quality cars.

German statistics

Well, German cars are at the top of the rating. And this is not surprising. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW and Volkswagen - this is the order in which the brands are ranked in terms of quality and reliability. Not only cars such as sedans, station wagons and middle class hatchbacks are taken into account (although, speaking of German cars, the phrase “middle class” should not be used), but also sports cars, SUVs and minivans. When compiling statistics and ratings, it is important to take into account the interests and demands of various people and motorists. This will determine which concern offers the widest range of machines.

Among the "Germans" - this is definitely a "Mercedes". There is no need to talk about the build quality - it has always been excellent, and manufacturers continue to adhere to their principles. “Audi” is a brand that produces, in some ways, simply flawless models. Especially lately. Manufacturers have increased the level of comfort and safety, as well as improved their engines, suspensions and transmissions. Perhaps this is the reason for the increased demand for many Audi models. And of course, good quality BMWs and Volkswagens. The Bavarians continue to make good, long-lasting cars, and Volkswagen does not change its traditions and endows its models with all the best characteristics, which attract more and more buyers.

Japanese and Korean production

The quality and reliability of cars belonging to Korean and Japanese concerns is also impressive. So, for example, a huge number of people claim that the brand that produces is truly "Lexus". The best impression was left by the Lexus RX model. Slightly less popular and, accordingly, reliable, turned out to be the Lexus IS sedan.

Toyota, Honda, Huynday - these brands are also included in the list of the most bought prices of which are pleasing to the eye, gained popularity due to the successful combination of cost and quality. Of course, out of all of the above, Toyota stands higher. City hatchbacks of this concern are sold out very quickly. In the same way as compact vans from “Honda”, which is one position below its competitor. The budget Huynday closes the top three "Asians".

"British" and "Americans"

The British concern “Jaguar” also “collects” excellent reviews. And his model became the most bought of all that have ever been produced. Despite the fact that a few years ago cars of this production occupied a rather modest position, now everything has changed. The concern's specialists have changed their approach to the auto industry, and the result is obvious, the brand has taken a solid place in the rating of the best, and this fact is confirmed by many!

A brand such as "Chevrolet" (an American manufacturer) is also included in the list of reliable. Genuine parts for these cars are inexpensive, just like a technical inspection. Yes, and it breaks, I must say, rarely. This makes it similar to the American "Ford" - models of this brand can also often be found on the roads. In general, both Chevrolet and Ford are manufacturers that produce stable cars. And it is for this quality that they are highly valued among drivers all over the world.

Russian production

Well, a few words would not hurt to say about the cars produced at the factories of our country. Of course, it will be difficult if you take into account foreign brands. However, if you choose the Russian car of the year, it will most likely be Lada Priora or Lada Kalina. These machines are assembled soundly, especially the latest versions. In addition, manufacturers began to improve their characteristics and equip them with new equipment, lighting equipment, and modernize engines. Many models are capable of squeezing 200 km / h, or even more. New engines do not break so often, and this definitely pleases the adherents of the Russian car industry. Perhaps it is for this reason that the "Lada" is recognized as the most reliable car in Russia.

2015 ranking

Well, in the end, I would like to list other brands that are included in the TOP of the most high-quality and reliable cars. I must say, there are not so few of them. The rating includes, for example, the brands Infiniti, Suzuki and Porsche. Of course, these cars are not so popular, but the owners claim that breakdowns in cases with these cars are rare. Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Skoda also received many votes. In general, it is worth noting that each brand has its own buyer. It all depends on taste, as well as on the financial capabilities of the person. In general, the most popular were also cars related to Japanese and Korean production. As a matter of fact, there is nothing to be surprised at, since on the streets we most often see Mercedes, Audi, Toyota and Honda. By the way, about the prices. They are not that tall. So, for example, a used car in good condition can be taken for 150-300 thousand rubles. It has already served 15-20 years and will still be able to withstand that much if treated well. And new cars, of course, will cost more. The same popular Toyota Corolla in a new state will cost about 800,000 rubles. In general, what to choose depends on the person. And the range of prices is large.

All articles

Surveys conducted among Russian car enthusiasts show that only one in three buyers of used vehicles prioritizes reliability when choosing a car. Most prefer to be guided by desires and feelings: I wanted to - I bought it! Someone simply proceeds from how much finance they have available. Others look at the vehicles of friends and neighbors when buying. And in vain! A reliable used car will save the owner from frequent calls to the service center. This means that the owner will save money, time and nerves.

"Autocode" will tell you which used car is better to buy, based on the degree of its reliability.

What are the criteria for determining the reliability of a used car?

According to experts, reliable used cars must meet the following requirements:

long service life;
low frequency of malfunctions;
affordable service (repair or replacement of parts and components should take place as soon as possible and with the least number of problems);
good susceptibility to "gray" consumables.

The opinion of the specialists of this company is most interesting to car owners from Russia for three reasons:

The rating information is collected by independent technical experts, therefore, the information obtained in this way is considered the most objective (for example, the British Warranty Direct does this based on reports received from insurance companies, and Consumer Reports from the United States based on information collected from vehicle owners).
Approximately 10 million used cars between the ages of two and 11 are checked annually
Most of the brands and models of cars from the TÜV rating are supplied or have been previously supplied to our country, therefore, you can easily buy a used car of the desired modification through an advertisement in a newspaper or on the Internet.

The TÜV rating is based on the inspection of one hundred used vehicles of each model. The more faults the experts find, the lower the place of the vehicle. See below which machines are considered the most reliable according to the TÜV rating.

The most reliable car with mileage 2006-2007

Here, the representatives of the German car industry - Porsche 911 are among the leaders. Even after ten years of operation, driving such a used car is comfortable and safe (no less than 5% of tested vehicles passed inspection, which is an excellent indicator for this age). True, for most of the Russian car owners, this "iron horse" will remain a dream. To buy a used 2006 Porsche 911, depending on the condition and mileage, you will have to fork out from 1.5 to 3.5 million rubles.

The most reliable used cars produced in 2008-2009

The leader is the same - the beautiful and inaccessible Porsche. In addition to the 911, experts advise paying attention to the Porsche Boxster and the Porsche 993.

The most reliable used cars 2010-2011

In this category, manufacturers from Germany lost the palm to engineers from Japan. Experts recognize Toyota Prius and Mazda 2 as the best used cars to look out for when buying (about 12% of vehicles did not pass inspection).

The most reliable used cars 2012-2013

The best option among used vehicles in this age category is Toyota Prius (the indicator is slightly more than 7% of vehicles that “failed” the inspection). Also, when buying, you should pay attention to:

Ford Kuga;
Porsche Cayenne;
Audi A4.

The whole VW family also deserves attention: Tiguan, Passat CC and Golf Plus.

The most reliable used cars 2014-2015 year of release

Audi Q5;
Toyota Avensis;
BMW Z4;
Audi A3;
Mazda 3;
Mercedes GLK.

And now a little fly in the ointment! German experts are testing used vehicles that "run" on high-quality foreign roads. On the Russian off-road, the number of breakdowns of used cars is increasing. Without pleading with the merits of the above-mentioned used cars, let us turn to the opinions of experts from Russia.

Which reliable used cars are best for Russian roads?

Kira Kaddaha, editor of autospot.ru:

“If you want to buy a reliable used car, feel free to give preference to Japanese manufacturers: Toyota, Lexus, Infiniti. These brands are renowned for quality, especially Lexus and Toyota. But keep in mind that they are on the list of the most hijacked. Also, Japanese brands are more expensive than Korean ones. Spare parts are 15-20% more expensive than the "Koreans". Therefore, the positions of manufacturers such as Hyundai and Kia have strengthened not only in the primary market, but also in the secondary one. Over the past few years, Koreans have been among the leaders. They are chosen for quality, warranty (Kia has 5 years) and, of course, for reliability. "

It should be noted that the opinions of domestic experts differ from the rating of German specialists. And, most likely, this is due to the fact that not every Russian can afford to buy 3-5-year-old BMW, Audi, Lexus or Mercedes (not to mention Porsche). Therefore, the main task for most Russian buyers is to find the optimal compromise between price and quality (reliability).

For those with a small amount of money, the best option would be:

Hyundai Solaris (3-4-year-old used cars can be bought for 420-550 thousand rubles);
Ford Focus (the cost of a used car in 2012-2013 is 450-550 thousand rubles);
Renault Logan (the purchase of Logan from 2013-2014 will cost 370-400 thousand rubles);
"Lada Kalina" (the price of the vehicle in 2013 - 250-270 thousand rubles).

And again, nowhere without representatives of the "people's car" from Germany: "Polo", "Passat" and "Golf". Prices for 5-7-year-old vehicles of these models range from 400 to 600 thousand rubles.

Ilya Ushaev, Automotive Agency "Forsage":

“Usually, when buying a car, a person looks for it according to the following parameters:

price;
year of issue;
mileage;
liquid, so as not to lose in price;
"I want it to be like new ...";
better with one owner in the TCP;
unbroken and unpainted.

This is roughly how most people see themselves the vehicle they want to buy. But once people are faced with reality, things get much more complicated.

Up to 150 thousand rubles. it is better to buy Renault Logan or Hyundai Accent (if in good condition - a win-win option).

Budget up to 300 thousand rubles. - the leader of Mitsubishi Lancer 9, Renault Logan, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Getz.

For 450 thousand rubles. it is better to buy Ford Focus 2, Nissan Tiida, Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta (the latter is better for girls).

With a budget of 600-700 thousand rubles. there are a lot of options. For family people, these are Skoda Octavia 1.8 (automatic transmission, released from mid-2012, not to be confused with a DSG gearbox, we do not recommend it), Toyota Rav 4, Nissan Tiana (but be careful with a variator - this thing is very difficult to diagnose, and even after diagnostics it can run 150,000 km). Someone will be satisfied with a used Volvo S40 (expensive to maintain, like any "European").

For 800,000 rubles. it is better to buy Hyundai ix35 or Kia Sportage, Santa Fe, Lexus IS250, Honda CRV. From Europeans you can buy "Audi A6", "Citroen C6" (restyled) and "BMW X5 (E70)".

In addition, those who have at their disposal an amount from 800 thousand to 1.2 million rubles, according to experts, when buying, it is better to pay attention to the Chevrolet Captiva and Nissan X-Trail 2013-2015 c.

Summing up, it remains to be noted that if you want to buy a reliable used car, it is better to choose a vehicle of German or Japanese origin.

When buying a used vehicle, you should remember that, in addition to reliability, the legal cleanliness of the car is also important. You can check the vehicle for traffic police restrictions, find out whether it is in bail or under arrest with bailiffs, in a few minutes using the all-Russian Internet service "Autocode". Also on our website you can download a book from which you will learn how to buy a used car profitably and safely.

Automotive portal site have compiled their own rating of the best budget cars, the main criterion of which was the price. And what exactly is proposed to buy for this price - read on.

A spoiler appeared on the trunk lid, a diffuser on the bumper. The trunk volume is 530 liters, and if the seats are folded down - 1470 liters.

Salon Scoda Rapid

If the changes in the exterior are not particularly noticeable, then in the interior they still took place. The shape of the control panel has changed, many buttons have been moved to the bottom of it. The center section is separated for the information display and the on-board computer. The steering wheel is somewhat reminiscent of a sports one - it has become smoother at the bottom and smaller. The interior fabric is of high quality, the seats are comfortable, and the lateral support has been improved. But the manufacturers still saved on noise insulation, the desired comfort in the cabin is not.

The new exterior design of the model has become more aggressive: an enlarged grille, large headlights, stylish LED strips along the edges.

The boot volume in the new model is 480 liters.

The interior has undergone a number of changes. The center console was slightly turned towards the driver and its design was redesigned. The size of many buttons has been increased - now they are more convenient to use. The central torpedo was divided into 3 zones, the functionality is partially reflected on the touch screen. The steering column is adjustable in four directions, the seats are quite comfortable, the lateral support is better expressed. Plastic and textiles are solid, there is no sense of obvious savings.

The clutch was made easier, but it did not lose its qualities. Gears are shifted well, the car behaves well on the road, maneuverable, easily enters corners. The rear suspension has become better, the manufacturer has placed the shock absorbers almost vertically. Off-road, the car shakes noticeably, the stabilization system works perfectly.

I would like to add that the prices are indicated for the minimum complete set of machines, taking into account the maximum discounts and purchase conditions in force in September 2017 (see the websites of manufacturers and dealers of these brands).

In the society of disposable phones, cars, and people, few people know what a good car is. An iron friend becomes a consumable that needs to be bought on time and which needs to be disposed of on time, about five years later. In this rating, there are only cars with a soul, character, albeit sometimes with a bad one. At the same time, their cost is not very high now, any car from this list can be bought for relatively little money. We are talking about sedans of different classes, but they are united by reliability, popularity among the people and other features. We present you the top best cars, and so let's go.

Ford Crown Victoria

Fifteenth place there is a car from the USA - Ford Crown Victoria. Honestly, I have never driven an American car, I could be wrong, - I stupidly expound from the words of friends who had such a device, they say - a demonic car, reliable and reliable, more than five meters, 4628 cm3 - engine displacement. Most of the owners of this car have never raised the hood, because it is too heavy, and what is there to look at - it goes and goes.
