That is why the machine has become a sign of relatively high status of the owner, and in the 1990s - 2000s in demand, including in the secondary market. "Volga" were produced until 2009, but in the coming years, this machine can become a rarity. Drivers who know firsthand the car, joking that if you listen closely, you can hear how it rusts.

And if the characteristics of such cars as Ford Mondeo, Escort, Ka, Sierra, Focus, Scorpio only pleasing to the drivers, the rapid degradation of the body is only sadness.

Of all the cars manufactured in Germany, drivers and mechanics to easily choose the car, "second-class citizens." For decades, Opel models inferior competitors for most parameters. These machines have a simple complete, they are cheaper and less reliable.

Thus, the second generation of the compact sedan Opel Astra G (1998-2004 gg.) Since the plant got so bad the body, which is only a couple of years the car was covered with "bugs", rusted doors and wheel arches. Also very quickly corrodes the bonnet and boot lid, window frames, fenders, welds. If you do not fix the problem, it is still a few years, the rust eats through metal.

Unfortunately, this problem is not solved even on newer versions of Opel Astra.

But while AvtoVAZ produces new models which have no complaints in this respect, Ulyanovsk release not cheap SUVs that are rusting in just a few years.

Japanese cars, however, as the German, considered a kind of standard for quality and reliability. But in fact, among the many models of many of those who quickly rust. Compact vehicle Nissan Almera first generation (N 15) - one of these. Car pursued corrosion thresholds, doors, bonnet and boot lid, door frames, beams in the engine compartment.

The second generation (N 16), which appeared in 2000, was no better. Body everything quickly spoil. For example, the tailgate hatchback rot through thoroughly in just 2-3 years.

Mazda - is another Japanese firm, where cars can not boast of a good anti-corrosion protection. Machines of the first generation Mazda 6 rust and rot very quickly if there was no protection, and the driver ignored the problem. Weaknesses of the model are the same as that of the other machines in this "antiobzore".

the second generation of machines (2007-2012 gg.) were not better in terms of corrosion protection. Even small paint chips will melt quickly rust foci. And if the car traveled in a car accident, her body becomes a "sieve" in just a couple of years.

But there is one problem that holds back the official dealer. Cars assembled in St. Petersburg, the factory received a very bad color, and are already starting to rust. Numerous points of corrosion drivers are found throughout the body, which can not oppress.

In the right hands of almost any car can be a real life-long. In confirmation of this - our stuff on 13 vehicles that have already traveled a million kilometersAs well as 8 superreliable mashinh, which covered more than 2 million kilometers.
