Renault Logan

This model, developed by a well-known French concern, is produced at Russian plants. So all the accessories can be got, without even straining. The cost of the first year of operation of this subcompact car is approximately 25,000 rubles. Not without reason "Logans" are bought by taxis and driving schools.

Its replacement costs 7,000 rubles, and the kit costs about 5,000 rubles. For the replacement of the front shoes you will have to pay only 500 rubles. For the back will have to pay 1,400 rubles.

And the consumption, as practice shows, is small. From 5.5 liters to 100 kilometers along the highway. And 10 liters in the winter, with a working stove, without economy, and even in the city, taking into account traffic jams.

There is one more reason why Logan is on the first place in the list "The cheapest foreign cars in service". And it concerns its price. The new Logan costs slightly more than 450,000 rubles.

Daewoo Nexia

This is the second car that should be noted with attention, telling about the cheapest foreign cars in service. People who bought this model, assure: for the first year on "Nexia" will have to spend only 26 000 rubles.

Initially, there is filled the mineral mass. But the owners, leaving their feedback, say that it is better to replace it with synthetic oil. Even in the most severe frost the transmissions will switch easily.

You also need to regularly clean the throttle, the fuel pump filter, the air conditioner evaporator and the engine injectors from soot and carbon deposits. Observing the instructions, it is not difficult to perform all of the above. Most of the owners of the "Nexia" themselves cope with everything. Not surprisingly, this model is on the second place in the list of "Cheapest foreign cars in service".

Mitsubishi i MiEV

This car should also be mentioned, telling about which foreign car is the cheapest in service. And how else, because Mitsubishi i MiEV is one of the few electric vehicles sold in the Russian Federation.

In it, in spite of the dimensions, can fit 4 people. And the energy of the lithium-ion battery is enough for 160 kilometers in the economy mode (in the usual - at 147 km). If to compare i MiEV with the petrol version, then it is more economical 9 times. Yes, the electric motor produces only 64 liters. S., And its maximum speed is 130 km / h. But after all i MiEV was created for the city, and not for racing on the track.

By the way, now you can buy a used model from 2 to 7 years for 250-500 thousand rubles.
