The question of acquiring a new car regularly arises before a modern driver. One car is very necessary for work purposes, another - for trips to neighboring cities or to the country, the third - to move the family around the city. Most often, when buying a car, foreign cars are considered, the domestic auto industry is not so popular among the population.
One of the main factors that future car owners take into account is the price-availability ratio of spare parts and vehicle maintenance. Luxury cars are expensive not only on the day of purchase, but also later - due to the high cost of consumables and repairs.

10. KIA Rio, from 700 000 r
One of the best-selling budget cars for many years remains KIA Rio. Having appeared on the car market in 2011, a foreign car immediately won the hearts and wallets of millions of drivers around the world.
Interesting fact: When developing Rio, the St. Petersburg branch of the concern tried to take into account all the features of movement in the Russian environment. That is why cars are not afraid of broken roads or deep puddles.
Nevertheless, the owners of the car should pay attention to its suspension: the disadvantage associated with the wear of the stabilizer struts has been eliminated, but the bearings still often fail due to the rigidity of the structure. Another regular breakdown is clogging of the catalyst after refueling with low-quality gasoline.
9. Citroen C-Elysee, from 700 000 r
The French auto industry also has a model that fits into the framework of a budget buyer: for standard equipment Citroen C-Elysee will need to lay out a little more than 700 thousand rubles. For this money, the buyer will receive a spacious and large car, ideal for a family, often moving around the city.
You should not expect supersonic power from a car - it has a rather “weak” three-cylinder engine with 72 hp installed on it. Such indicators mean that you can save not only on gasoline, but also on transport tax.
8. Geely Emgrand 7, from 650 000 r
Chinese brand Geely quickly became popular among Russian drivers - his passenger model Emgrand 7 in a few years it has become one of the best-selling foreign cars in the country.
The main advantages of the car include high-quality assembly - the process has been established at the plant in Belarus - and an easy-to-maintain motor, with an output of 133 hp.
Despite the modest dimensions, the inside of the sedan is quite spacious - the increased rear row of seats and a large amount of luggage create a feeling of comfort. But not for the driver: the main complaints of foreign car owners come down to the fact that tall people driving an Emgrand 7 will be very uncomfortable due to unprocessed ergonomics.
7. Hyundai Solaris, from 640 000 r
To call Solaris It’s difficult to budget, because in this case, it implies a rejection of some additional functions. But Hyundai I didn’t go for it - as a result, for 640 thousand rubles the driver will receive a full and comfortable car.
123 h.p. the engine in combination with a soft suspension give good traffic in the city, but you need to be more careful about the situation - there may be breakdowns in the system in deep holes.
A voluminous trunk and a spacious interior make the car ideal for families with children.
The main drawback is, oddly enough, the steering wheel - for the first time, the driver will have to get used to non-standard controls, which practically do not give “feedback”, which affects cornering.
6. Skoda Rapid, from 630 000 r
Skoda rapid entered the Russian car market 7 years ago, and in 2017 received a rebirth after restyling. At one time, advertising of this brand was aimed at young drivers considering the model as their first car. For low cost, such buyers purchased a reliable car.
The Rapid engine remains to this day the most profitable of the entire line. Previous failures were associated with the wear of the timing chain, which they got rid of during the "reboot" - now the belt is on the model.
Both in the city and on the highway, the car behaves equally confidently and accurately - it is not afraid of overtaking and sharp turns. The suspension will not bother drivers up to 100 thousand kilometers.
No flaws could not have done. Standard equipment Rapid is very small: for 630 thousand rubles, the buyer will not receive any power windows, no air conditioning, no remote control lock, or other useful lotions. Even the airbag is only one.
5. Volkswagen Polo Sedan, from 600 000 r
The appearance of this model can not be attributed to the budget options - precisely because of the presentable appearance on Polo sedan most often and stop when buying.
An interesting design is accompanied by a good functional "filling": a modern interior, a capacious trunk, increasing by folding the seats.
With the dimensions inside, however, not everything is so rosy - the rear passengers will quickly feel the low level of the roof, and the driver will feel the narrow dimensions of the space at his feet. But if you get used to it, you can enjoy the road - maneuverability and sound insulation Volkswagen on high.
4. Nissan Almera, from 480 000 r
Nissan Almera It is considered a "long-lived" car market - the concern has been releasing it already since 1995. The advantages of the model include a reinforced chassis, excellent visibility due to the updated design of the wipers, high-quality suspension and a roomy trunk.
But over the years, the creators of the cars did not heed the complaints of their customers about such things as too abrupt gear shifting, a slow brake pedal, a heavy steering wheel. There are also complaints about small things - for example, there is no armrest for passengers in the back seat.
3. Ravon Nexia R3, from 420 000 r
Car Ravon Nexia R3 many call the replacement of the domestic "Lada Grant." Given that the price of cars is approximately the same, many opt for the model of the Uzbek automobile industry. In fact, Ravon has displaced the previous Nexia model, which were many on the roads 5 years ago.
Externally, the car is a Chevrolet Aveo, but this similarity ends already in the cabin. For ergonomics and noise insulation of cars, drivers have questions. But on the road, Ravon began to behave better than previous variations due to the "heavier" body.
2. Renault Logan, from 400 000 r
Logan for many years remains the most popular car for taxi services, and their owners chose Renault not just like that. Three main advantages of the model - high cross-country ability, spaciousness and cheap spare parts - make it an ideal "partner" when traveling both around the city and behind it. The suspension properties allow the car to quietly plow dirt roads and bumps on the pavement.
But for the cross will have to sacrifice comfort. The disadvantages of Logan include a weak coating, chips on which appear very quickly, uncomfortable seats, poor insulation from extraneous noise and regular “freezing” of electronics.
1. Daewoo Matiz, from 330 000 r
"Chit" Daewoo matiz It has not been losing ground for many years - many people prefer this particular model for city driving. The obvious advantage of the car is its size - parking the Matiz is not difficult either in the courtyard of the house or in the clogged parking lot of the shopping center. And the small car copes with maneuvers on the road perfectly. This also includes the high capacity of the cabin and trunk and modest fuel consumption.
It would be wrong to expect durability from Daewoo, but it rusts the car body at an incredible speed. A sensitive suspension and a weak engine only add headaches to the driver.
