Four reliable family cars are sold in Russia, which can be purchased for 800 thousand rubles. In this respect said Alexander Vinogradov, automobile expert of the magazine “Behind the Wheel”.
Accordingly, at this price you can buy the 2018-2019 model year Lada Largus. Inside the car there is a reliable manual transmission and an 8-valve engine. Vinogradov also noted that it is better to replace the water pump immediately. Other advantages include a powerful suspension and the availability of all spare parts in any region of the country.
The expert placed the second generation Skoda Octavia in second place. You should choose a reliable model with a 1.6-liter engine with 102 hp. In this case, it is better to replace the timing belt immediately after purchase. You can also buy a Chevrolet Cruze with a naturally aspirated Ecotec engine of 1.6 and 1.8 liters for 800 thousand rubles. One of the disadvantages is the chatter of phase changer gears. The problem can be solved by replacing the solenoid valves or the gears themselves. Vinogradov also recommended avoiding turbo engines.
