Car brands: how not to make a mistake in choosing

Own car ... How proud and solid it sounds, is not it? The car is not only a means of transportation, but also a true loyal friend, a constant companion both in the stone city "jungle" and on long travels. Perhaps, its maintenance will be a huge amount of forces, time and money, but is this an obstacle for a real motorist? First and foremost, it is worth considering that buying your own vehicle is too serious a decision to take and execute it in a hurry. It is necessary to think about a lot of things, among which it is especially necessary to understand and choose brands of cars.

The choice of the manufacturer is a responsible process, since the cost and life of the machine depend on it, and sometimes the amount of money spent on possible repairs. So, car brands divided into several categories - fashionable, reliable, unusual or domestic:

- fashion or image, representatives of the world's largest brands, which include Japanese car brands (Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan or Honda), English (Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover or Lotus), German (Audi, BMW, Maybach, Mercedes -Benz, Opel, Volkswagen), Italian (Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, FIAT, Lamborghini and Maserati) and Swedish (Saab and Volvo). The advantages of acquiring such vehicles are unquestionable: the owner's pride, fewer failures, security for the driver, and passengers, and even pedestrians, greater reliability of materials used in the assembly. As for the minuses, special claims are made to the high cost of picking up the car, the constant queues to car-care centers servicing such cars, not to mention the increased criminal interest and high insurance value of CASCO.

- reliable, which many consider average in everything - both in price and quality. If you prefer this type of car, then you can choose auto Korean (SsangYong, KIA or Hyundai), American (Pontiac, Saturn, Chrysler and Ford), French (Citroen, Peugeot and Renault) and Czech manufacturers (Skoda). The great advantage of such vehicles is that many car owners consider the combination of quality and price already mentioned above. In addition, brands of cars in the category "reliable" are not considered to be the most popular among hijackers, they require a reasonable price for maintenance and repair. In a few words about them you can say simply: strong, true, inexpensive. However, there are also shortcomings, among which the main one is the lack of high-quality service and priority service.

- Unusual, that is, auto Chinese or Iranian production. Most often these cars are inexpensive copies of models of world brands that were produced earlier and are popular. It is clear that the main advantage of such vehicles is their low price, but the disadvantages are much greater. This is a mismatch with the basic safety requirements, and frequent lack of necessary spare parts, and a lack of car-care centers that can deal with the problems of such machines.

- domestic - for Russian roads, this is exactly what you need. Russian car brands are easily repairable (naturally, within reasonable limits), their owners are rarely faced with the problem of the lack of auto parts or necessary parts. It is also positive that such cars are quite inexpensive. Of the major drawbacks, you can only name one - the prestige of owning a vehicle of domestic production.

What to choose is the business of the person who wants to buy a car. Of course, one can not compare the style of life that German cars of the brand BMW or Audi represent with the creations of the domestic automotive industry, but a beautiful packaging and a loud brand is not the whole machine that will have to meet the daily needs of its owner in the conditions of Russian reality.
