“There is no trust in the 1.2 (105 hp), 1.4 (122 hp) turbo engines and the DQ200 robot; Many of their illnesses improved after 2012. There is no “hydrautomatic”. As a result: Zinoviev listed the combination of “mechanics” with two diesel engines and naturally aspirated engines CGGA 1.4 (80 hp) and BSE 1.6 (102 hp).

In his opinion, the best option is the sixth generation Volkswagen Golf with a 1.6 engine producing 102 hp. Its design is simple and very reliable, it is capable of traveling 500 thousand km, while the life of the 1.4 turbo engine is much shorter. You can also consider buying a car with a 2.0 diesel engine with 110 hp, but there are very few such cars in Russia, the expert said:

He noted that with the increase in mileage, the number of cars coming from China in the secondary market will also increase. The auto expert believes that in the future Russians with such cars will face many problems.

“This is not a high enough level of service, but it is not due to lack of competence but to unreasonable and poor cataloging of spare parts. This is the lack of technical documentation and its small volume. It is very difficult for independent mechanics to work with Chinese cars. “Buyers of such cars face problems with corrosion and electronics,” he said.

Before this, a group of hackers was discovered Security vulnerability in Kia models connected to the internet.

In June, they discovered that a variety of cars, from a 2014 Kia Sportage to a 2025 Carnival, were easily accessed using their license plates. This made it possible to remotely activate various vehicle functions.

The poor security was related to the Kia Connect owner portal, an infotainment and telematics service that allows remote access to certain functions. Features were accessible in just 30 seconds, regardless of whether the vehicle had an active Kia Connect subscription.
