During a crisis, the reliability of the car comes to the fore. And also the availability of spare parts, because even the most “long-playing” car needs maintenance. Fortunately, there are such copies on the market, but only on the “secondary”. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the most reliable of them.

Let’s start by pointing out what, in our view, a reliable car means. This is a machine with the simplest design, without complex printing systems, “robots” and a lot of electronics. The fewer such elements, the better, because technically there is simply nothing to break. Emphasizing the above, we have chosen the most reliable, according to the editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal.

RENAULT LOGAN

The second generation car is quite fluid in the “secondary” only because of its reliability. Under the hood of the sedan are 1.6-liter engines: K7M (82 hp) and K4M (102 hp). Both units are trouble-free and tolerate low quality fuel. Minor issues start closer to 150,000 miles, but they’re not critical. The chassis is also no problem. And there are plenty of spare parts, including cheap Chinese counterparts.

HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The fifth generation Elantra is almost a real business class. Yes, she has a peculiar appearance, a simple interior, which is why a Korean woman is considered not prestigious. However, now this can be attributed to the pluses, since the price tag for a sedan is affordable (from 800,000 rubles), and the reliability is excellent.

The engine range consists of two petrol “fours”: a 1.6-litre engine with 132 hp and a 1.8-litre engine with 150 hp. The only danger here is that the engines can have wear and tear. There is only one remedy – turn off the catalytic converter and put in a flame arrester. Many cars do this too. As for the “automatic” and suspension, simple technical solutions make them trouble-free.

FORD FOCUS

The third generation “American”, like the French “Logan”, is considered a fairly popular car. Under the hood of the Fords are petrol engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters (105 hp) and 2 liters (160 hp). The main problem with the older unit is clogging of the fuel injectors. The younger one is more reliable, so we suggest you consider this one. Just choose one with a manual gearbox. And no “robots”, otherwise he will take the last money out of his pocket. We also note that there are many spare parts for Focuses, so you should certainly not expect a shortage.

HYUNDAI SOLARIS AND KIA RIO

This Korean couple proved their indestructibility. However, there are many cars from taxi companies on the “secondary market”, so when choosing it is better to rely on a competent car selector.

In the vast majority of cases, the engine compartment of these cars contains an atmospheric 1.6 liter engine with 123 hp. Of. and “mechanics”. But you can find versions with “automatic”. As for the suspension, a beam is installed at the rear, and such a scheme is almost eternal. Only rubber bands need attention, but there are many at car dealerships. However, like other parts.

TOYOTA CAMRY

The VX50 sedan has been known for years as an “armor-piercing” car that requires a minimal investment. Hence its popularity and liquidity. Many owners said that while using the Toyota, they only changed consumables. Isn’t this proof that any crises are not terrible for the “Japanese woman”.

As for the technical part, the Asians have never pursued innovation, preferring proven solutions. For example, the Camry was equipped with naturally aspirated engines of 2 liters (148 hp), 2.5 liters (181 hp) and 3.5 liters for 249 powers. Toyota also had a hybrid, but luckily we can’t find such copies.

With proper maintenance, power units can “run” more than 300,000 km without major repairs. As for spare parts, they are always plentiful. Stocks are enough for two crises and even more…
