While experienced drivers say that the car that is left unchecked rusts the fastest, car manufacturers’ corrosion protection varies. Some approach the processing process thoroughly, others want to
Let’s start with the Chinese car industry, where we highlight an affordable crossover and sedan. Both cars can now be bought for only pennies – 300,000-400,000 rubles. Of course they have their strengths and corrosion has become a weakness.
“Sixty” was once swept away like hot cakes, as it was one of the most affordable SUVs in Russia. In addition, it has a spacious trunk and quite rich equipment, by the standards of its class. And everything would be fine, only the body of the “Chinese” is not galvanized, and the factory regretted the anti-corrosion agent and apparently decided to reduce the price because of it. As a result, after a year and a half of use, the owners found small “saffron mushrooms” under the door handles and on the underside of the trunk lid. And over time, “rust” appeared on the thresholds. Now it is quite problematic to find a stainless X60, so if you want to buy such a car, prepare immediately for any body repair due to severe corrosion.
The sedan was also warmly received by customers, especially in the regions. And let him have Spartan gear, but there are no problems with the power unit. But corrosion spoils the whole picture. The fact is that all the body panels of the “Chinese” are made of thin metal, and the paint coating on them is small. So very quickly red spots appear in the chips. What can we say about the bottom.
Since 2005, these sedans have been produced at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant. The Lanos were equipped exclusively with a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 86 forces and a 5-speed “mechanics”. And the versions with a 1.4-liter engine and “automatic”, which appeared in 2011, were already called ZAZ Chance. “Chance” and “Lanos” can still be found on the roads, because the sedans have a simple and trouble-free power unit and a strong suspension. But here the body was made of thin metal, and they regretted the anti-corrosion agent. As a result, many copies have corrosion and even holes in the floor.
The third-generation Pathfinder frame also does not differ in corrosion resistance.The frame is quickly covered with red spots. As for the body, the “saffron milk caps” are formed in the paint flakes on the hood. The tailgate is no less likely to rust near the decorative strip for the license plate. When inspecting, also pay attention to the welds and windshield frame. You can also see the problem here.
This “Tseshka” was produced from 2000 to 2005, so in Russia there are plenty of these cars. At the factory, the Germans perfectly painted the body, but the metal was not galvanized, but only covered with a decent layer of earth. Therefore, if traces of “bombing” by stones appear on the hood, or a scratch on the metal, it is necessary to locate these “wounds”. Otherwise don’t keep rust waiting. The situation is worse with wheel arches and sills. These places rot very often, so much so that they require serious repairs, and they don’t come cheap. Especially in today’s reality…
