Every year thousands of new machines for the first time go to the road, and at the same time the old cars "die" for parts or simply rot in the streets. 1980s car, and even more so the 1970s in good condition is almost not be found. At the same time the concept of "cars of the '90s" has become almost a brand. So what is their success - see later in the review.

the vast majority of production vehicles were carburetor until the late 1980s. This power system design is very complex, sensitive setup and laborious to maintain. The rest of the engine, transmission and suspension to the 1990s have become very reliable. That's when the machines became massively used injector. It was a good alternative to the carburetor. Machines injection seemed more powerful, more efficient and, most importantly, for their service not required "unique experience" specialist-"karbyuratorschika".

A typical "car 90s" has a body made of thick steel with a thick layer of paint, a reliable engine with a cast iron cylinder block, one or two airbags, but the minimum number of options using electronics. Even at the Mercedes-Benz and BMW handles to lift the glasses were not uncommon. Such construction is typical for the "golden age" of the automotive industry. True, it lasted long.

In the 2000s, it began to produce very different machines throughout the world. First of all, in the modern car has become much more "gentle" electronics, the components of which will sooner or later fail. Car design has also changed. Even on the German car body begin to rust after a few years. The reason - a clear reduction of paint thickness.

new machines and engines did not become better. On the contrary, if many motors 90s called "one million people", then these are already not among the new designs. Cast iron (rugged and durable) engine block in order to reduce weight replaced by lighter aluminum alloy for which 200-250 thousand kilometers - almost a "ceiling". Alyusilovoe and nikasilovoe Floor, actively promoting individual brands, proved highly controversial technology. After wear thin cylinders of the coating layer drastically deteriorate quickly.

Expensive cars of the 2000s and changed the power supply system. Technology of direct fuel injection into the cylinders (for example, "folsksvagenovskih" motors FSI and TSI) allows to save fuel and improve the eco-friendliness. That's just the cost of such a system more, and it works less reliable than a conventional distributed injection into the intake ports. Under the terms of the manufacturer such nozzles can not be repaired and must be replaced, as they are very expensive.

Cars with turbo known for a long time, but really, this system has become common in recent years. Now boost can be found on the runabout, and family sedans. On the one hand "turbine" greatly improves engine performance. But there is a "reverse" side, about which no one will ever tell a potential customer in the showroom. Turbocharger - a device in which there are details, committing up to 240,000 revolutions per minute. It is natural that at the big run details are erased together, the turbine starts to "eat oil" and it has to change. Often, this happens when you run a total of 150 thousand kilometers. If the driver does not know how to turn off the car with a turbocharger, it could "come" even earlier.

The situation of rapid wear of parts of units of modern machines worsens as a limited resource components and their conditions of service. A particularly acute problem with the engine oil. Instead of the previously popular mineral oils have now become affordable semi-synthetic and synthetic. They are much better, but not in 3 times, than the old "mineral water". At least that motivate many auto companies (mainly Japanese), when administered interservice run of 15-20 thousand. kilometers. Owners of modern cars with supercharged SUVs, and cars "living" in Moscow traffic jams, experts recommend changing the oil is not less than 7-10 thousand kilometers.

The oil in the automatic transmission is not experiencing a heat load in the engine, but also eventually becomes obsolete, its properties deteriorate to the same oil can simply flow out. This does not prevent many automakers to write in the operation manual that the oil is able to go forth throughout the entire life of the machine. So no surprise that the automatic transmission with the time "kicking" and fails.

In the 1990s, automobiles have become quite sophisticated and comfortable, and at the same time very robust. It is the "indestructibility" models of those years led to the fact that the resource had deliberately understate. And really, who goes to the showroom for a new car when the old has not broken? As a conclusion we can say that modern machinery originally It is not designed for continuous operation.

Continuing the theme: review 13 cars that have traveled a million kilometersAnd unexpected official statement one motor companies that provided affordable model, which in Russia are guaranteed to one million kilometers.
