Top 10 most tenacious cars
Every year the issue of vehicle reliability is becoming increasingly important. After all, few people want to get a car that always breaks down and requires expensive spare parts for their money. Therefore, those who are smart about buying a car prefer to choose one of the "tenacious" brands. For example:
10 Toyota Corolla X
Today it is the best-selling model in the world, which is even recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. This is a truly reliable "iron friend" who, even after 10 years of operation, will not require serious investments.
9 Lada 4 × 4
Despite the fact that this car has been produced practically unchanged for more than a dozen years, the demand for it continues to remain at a high level. This is not surprising: after all, Niva is the standard of practicality and reliability. Even in the event of a car breakdown, repairs will not hit your wallet hard - all parts can be easily found and bought.
8 Suzuki grand vitara
In addition to the sturdy body and excellent automatic transmission, the Grand Vitara has a very high-quality engine, so this car is able to withstand even off-road operation. Minor breakdowns are a common occurrence, however, engine repair or replacement of the timing belt may be needed only for high mileage (150-200 thousand km).
7 Kia rio
The second generation Kia Rio, which appeared in 2005, over the years has managed to win the love of many for its reliability and economy. Of course, it will not be possible to do without investments at all, however, in most cases, overhaul, involving the replacement of silent blocks, will be required only after a run of more than 200,000 kilometers.
6 Honda civic 8
Experts argue that the Japanese-made Honda Civic is more reliable - it has a high-quality assembly, an "indestructible" engine and gearbox. The transmission can easily serve up to 250 thousand kilometers, the main thing is to change the oil on time. Many are afraid of the price of original spare parts for this car, but there are many very high-quality analogues on the market.
5 Honda cr-v
It is considered one of the reliable crossovers that are in great demand to this day. If you carry out scheduled maintenance, then the car will easily travel 250-300 thousand km without engine repair and replacement of the timing. True, the steering rack is very weak, which is the main drawback of this model.
4 Toyota Camry XV40
According to motorists, the popularity of this generation of Camry is easily explained. The car does not require serious investments and can travel more than one hundred thousand kilometers, even if the owner is a beginner and does not pay due attention to the vehicle. The engine, gearbox and clutch are all top notch. The only thing, with high mileage, there may be problems with the cooling system pump.
3 Nissan Qashqai
For such a massive car, Nissan Qashqai has surprisingly few problems related to components and assemblies. At the same time, in most cases, motorists themselves are to blame for breakdowns. Off-road driving and untimely oil changes are the main reasons why a car may need serious repairs.
2 Volvo P1800
In recent years, Volvo has been losing ground, for example, in the reliability rating, the company took third place from the bottom. However, early Volvo models, notably the P1800, are still considered some of the toughest and most resilient in the world. So, a car of this brand in 1966, even after passing 5 million kilometers, continues to be on the move.
1 Renault Logan
A practical best-selling car that has won the trust of motorists thanks to its reliability and economy. In addition, the advantages of Renault include relatively inexpensive original spare parts, so even the need for repairs will not greatly affect the owner's finances.
Experts say that the models produced in recent decades cannot be compared with the cars produced in the 80s and 90s of the last century.It is the latter, in spite of the mileage and age, that will easily serve for more than a dozen years, while the modern ones are unlikely to be able to overcome the boundary of 100 thousand kilometers without breakdowns.
