In the current economic situation, the sum of one million rubles is not prohibitive for purchasing a car, especially if such characteristics as reliability, automatic transmission, comfortable interior, naturally aspirated engine and low mileage (up to 100 thousand kilometers) are important. However, according to the opinion of automobile expert Alexander Kovalev, expressed in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, even within this sum, you can choose several decent cars.
First of all, you should pay attention to three models known for their reliability: Hyundai Solaris, Nissan Almera and Volkswagen Polo, the expert advised. Due to their prevalence on the Russian market, they are easily accessible, sell quickly and do not create problems with finding components. All these cars have proven themselves to be durable and resistant to adverse climatic and road conditions in Russia.
If you want to buy a newer car, you should take a closer look at the Lada Vesta with a manual transmission. Within a million rubles, it is possible to find options with minimal mileage. Despite the fact that the “mechanics” is inferior to the “automatic” in comfort, it wins in ease of maintenance and repair, which is important with a limited budget.
In addition, the previously mentioned Solaris, Almera and Polo with a manual transmission can also be a good choice: reliable, easy to operate and not overloaded with complex electronics, the expert noted.
