Reviews

The pros and cons of Renault Logan 2018-2019 in a new body are identified based on feedback from real owners. More detailed advantages and disadvantages of Renault Logan 1.6 (82, 102 and 113 hp) with automatic and manual can be found in the stories below.

My car is already 1.2 years old, so we can already draw preliminary conclusions. For me, the main criterion for choosing was — reliability, and my car is still fully justifies my expectations.

In general, there are no complaints about the car. Not voracious on fuel. Yes, there are jumps at idle, but this is not critical. Mileage at the moment has exceeded 15,000 km, passed MOT, which cost 5,300 rubles.

The car is pretty frisky. Short passes at first strained, but then I got used to it. You need to switch from 1 to 2 immediately and immediately to 3, the third one is quite elastic, you can turn the engine on it in a wide range, pass intersections, and also overcome small bumps in the form of speed bumps on it, but 5 gears are not enough on the highway. On the track is smart, 140 for her is not the limit (no longer overclocked).

Review of Renault Logan 1.6 on the mechanics of 2016

Video review

Excellent suspension. Working in a taxi 6 days a week for 10-11 hours, I am not overjoyed at the endurance of the car. Excellent ergonomics, very comfortable seating, doors open enough. All passengers feel comfortable, at the rear - the legs do not rest on the front seats. Huge trunk. For 2 years of such operation, I changed 2 ball joints and 4 steering tips — nothing else broke in it. Multipurpose vehicle. Corresponds to the price-quality!

Evgeny Rudin, review about Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) manual transmission 2014

A couple of times there were glitches with electronics. Once serious. The car didn't move, the ABS light came on. Stopped, turned off, started again. The car drove off, the light was on. Stopped once more. The light bulb has stopped burning. Checked ABS and it works. Some kind of miracle. What happened, I did not understand.

In general, I'll start with the shortcomings, determine the degree of criticality yourself.

1) Russian assembly. The hands of the collectors of Togliatti "grow out of the ass" - this is a fact. P
2) Short first gear (many people complain about the first 4 short gears). Literally just move on. The car quietly starts from the second.
3) The native audio system does not digest the bass. Not at all.
4) The armrest at first really interferes with working with the handbrake. Then you get used to it.
5) In dirty weather, the trunk is covered with mud, it is almost impossible to open it without getting your hands dirty.
6) The reverse gear is stuck very badly. You have to re-depress the clutch and turn it on. This is a constant problem.
7) Until you get used to the box, there is a risk when switching from 5th to 4th by accidentally turning on the back.
8) Although all the brochures and sweet lips of the dealer talked about improved sound insulation, this is true only for summer conditions at speeds up to 100 km / h. From above, you can already hear the engine well. And in winter, the noise from tires with spikes in the cabin when driving on asphalt is audible even at low speeds.
9) Often you have to turn the starter for a long time to start the car. The reason is unknown to me.
10) Despite the impressive volume of the trunk, luggage arches are very disturbing. Also, when laying out the rear seats, a huge step is formed, which greatly reduces the usable volume. When folding the rear seats, the maximum length of the transported goods is only 1.80 - 1.90 m. I expected more.
11) In severe frosts, the car starts to eat gasoline, even on the highway. In addition, plastic begins to creak, and throughout the cabin.
12) The situation with frontal heating is not very clear. It turns on only with maximum windshield blowing. What if it's minus 30 outside? Therefore, I always warm up the car for a couple of minutes first, and then just turn on the heating of the windshield.
13) Airflow modes (“on the front”, “on yourself”, “on your feet”) do not work well together. The "on itself" mode takes the lion's share of the flow, practically not giving air flow to the windshield or under your feet. You have to drive with the “on the front” + “under your feet” mode. So even more less.
14) In severe frosts, the interior on the highway does not warm up very well. In addition, the interior cools down very quickly if you turn off the stove (and even in mild frosts).
15) A very noisy stove. Tolerant up to the 3rd, maximum up to the 4th division. What follows is just a nightmare. The sound of a jet plane. And since the heating of the windshield is available only with maximum airflow, this creates additional problems when, for example, the windshield needs to be warmed up in the direction of travel.
16) The vibration of the gear lever is almost like on my former 2114. To be honest, this fact surprised me unpleasantly.
17) The space under the rear window, hidden by the trunk lid, is a garbage bin in summer and a place for ice formation in winter.
18) Narrow front mud flaps do not protect the body from dirt flying from under the front wheels. The front doors leave very clear marks in muddy weather.
19) Onboard shows only one indication! Although the display allows you to accommodate much more. And no engine temperature. Only indication of excess.
20) The windage of the car is above average. At high speeds and strong winds, you have to constantly taxi.
21) The driver's door does not close well (this problem is not only mine).

Now, of course, about the merits of Logan 2.

1) Suspension. Indestructible, quite comfortable.
2) Climate. Very good, albeit one-sided.
3) Cruise. On the track only with him.
4) Heating lobovuhi and mirrors. Despite the disadvantage of heating the windshield, this is still a very big plus for any car.
5) Personally, I am very satisfied with the side mirrors, I set them up so that there is practically no blind zone.
6) Good optics. Both low beam and high beam work well.
7) Daytime running lights. Very comfortably.
8) Very high landing for a sedan. The car really looks much higher than its budget and not only brothers.

Review of Renault Logan 82 hp with mechanics 2016 onwards

Where could I buy?

New Renault Logan 2017 took in April. I did not write a review right away in order to test it well. In April-July, the car drove 20,00 km. From the pluses I will note:

1. The suspension is soft, holds the road, simple and reliable
2. Huge trunk!
3. Salon for a family of 5 is enough, not crowded

Disadvantages (cons) Renault Logan 2:

1. Fragile windshield. In three months, three small pebbles flew in. And three cracks at once! Seeing this for the first time
2. Quiet sound of the radio, the microphone is very weak - you can’t communicate normally via bluetooth, although there is such an option.
3. Factory autostart is complete bullshit. To start the engine, you need to see the car and be very close to it. So it's better to set autorun yourself.

What else I will note. The engine is a new 1.6 liter chain engine with 113 hp. He took it, because. chain is more reliable than timing. For the city, the motor proved to be perfect. Fast acceleration, confidently going in the stream. The only downside is short passes.

On the track, the picture is different. After 70 km / h, the car accelerates very slowly, every 10 km is a real victory! I know that many people are interested in rpm at different speeds. I have so:

90 km / h - 2,500, consumption 5 liters.
100 km / h - 2,900, consumption 6.5 liters.
110 km / h - 3,500, consumption 8 liters.
150 km / h - 4400, consumption 11.5 liters.

I specifically wrote about 150 km / h. I drive on the highways often, the car goes well, there is no noise. But here it is difficult to disperse it to 150, it picks up speed very slowly.

The owner drives a Renault Logan 2 2017 engine 1.6 (113 hp) manual transmission

Easy to manage. Virtually no noise. For me, it's spacious. But the metal of the car is "liquid". In cold weather, the driver's door seal does not hold. Cold air enters while driving. The car has passed 16,000 km, the rear suspension is knocking. Most of all, the knock is manifested on the potholes of the roads. Apparently, the assembly of the machine by specialists in Russia is affecting ...

Alexander Titov, drives Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) automatic 2013

Good soundproofing. Smart not blunting automatic transmission. Excellent climate. Machine corresponding to the price today. But at the same time, a small rear-view mirror and a high fuel consumption of 12 liters. Not comfortable jet mudguards. There is no windshield heating on the automatic transmission, only airflow.

Margarita Utkina, review of Renault Logan 1.6 (102 hp) AT 2015

In principle, the car is not bad, the patency is impressive! There are very serious drawbacks regarding the front side windows: if you lower the side glass halfway and close the doors, then it feels like it will fly out, that is, it hangs, you can go and demonstrate this in car showrooms.

Thresholds wide are not protected from dust, ie. there is always dust (dust collector). The windshield wipers are also not satisfied, they are rough, there is a lot of noise, there is a scratch on the windshield, when traveling in wet snow they just freeze and even heating the windshield with a pair does not help ...

Nurlan Arykov, review of Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) 2014

Auto for a smooth, measured ride. At the intersection, when starting on a green traffic light, the car lags behind the others. Fuel consumption for an 82 hp engine is too big, more than 10 liters in the city, 6 liters on the highway. In the cabin, at a speed of 100 km / h, you can hear the street, the sound insulation leaves much to be desired.

Alexander Petrov, drives Renault Logan 1.6 (82 hp) MT 2014

The car was bought in February 2010 new, to replace the VAZ 2111 (an excellent car, in general, all vases were not satisfactory in terms of reliability). Over the entire period, I drove 83 thousand km, there were no breakdowns at all, the only front struts needed to be replaced (pits in -30 frosts did their job). The car has now been sold.

Engine and gearbox: Engine 8 valve 1.6, very old, super-reliable, gearbox as well, switching too big, but the clarity suited. Clutch did not like lack of information. The gearbox is clearly designed for the city, the gears are very short, it literally creeps in 1st at idle, which is very convenient on primers, when driving through pits, etc. But on the highway, 6th gear was missing, at 100 km per hour in 5th gear it was already 3000 rpm. The Euro-4 engine is either strangled, but it is very stupid, it thinks during acceleration.

Body: Painting, like all current cars, is not very strong, there was not a drop of rust, the gaps are large, but even everywhere. The metal foil is bare. Treated with anticorrosive and anti-gravity thresholds from the factory to the conscience, all tubes under the bottom are closed and hidden.

Strengths:

• Reliability, reliability and more reliability.

Weaknesses:

• Not suitable for the track.
• Tubarette, ambiguous fit.

Review Renault Logan 1.6 16v 102l / s (Renault Logan) 2010 Part 3

Good day to all who read.

For a long time I did not appear on this site and, most likely, this is the final review of my Renault Logan. I recently sold it to my son for symbolic money. they did not want to let go of such a machine, which served faithfully all these years in the harsh conditions of daily operation. The son was also happy about this, because. the classic 5 and Logan are slightly different cars, so he is probably as crazy as I was when I bought it.

So, in order. For 4 years, two trips to the Crimea for 6.5 and 7.8 thousand kilometers, respectively (the figures are approximate, because I don’t remember exactly) and in 2014 a march through Europe with a two-week vacation in Spain. For a month we drove 12 European countries and 16000 km of run. During the entire trip, the car never failed, neither in traffic jams in Berlin and Paris, nor on the autobahns, nor on the mountain serpentines of Austria and Monaco. We traveled as a family of 4 people, children are almost adults 13 and 23 years old. We didn’t experience any particular fatigue during the trip, although if there were more space in the back, it would be more comfortable for the rear passengers. The average consumption per trip was 7.1 l / 100 km with the air conditioning on. Fuel is 95 everywhere, except for France, where it was necessary to pour 98, 95 there 95E10 (it is difficult to find 95 without alcohol, but it’s possible, we just didn’t come across on the way), Belarus and Russia, where they ate the usual 92. You can scold me, but subjectively I did not feel a big difference from the consumption of Logan 92 and 98 gasoline.

Strengths:

• Reliability, at least 2010 release
• Unkillable suspension
• High ground comfort
• Lack of crickets
• Moderately high-torque and reliable engine

Weaknesses:

Lack of noise, can float away slightly in strong crosswinds on highways at speeds above 120 km / h (affected only on European autobahns)

Review Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2008

So, Renault Logan 2008 onwards. engine 1.6 87 hp “Prestige” equipment (air conditioning, full power accessories, seat heating, PTF, 15-inch wheels, painted bumpers) + “Safety” package (passenger airbag + ABS).

Departure by car for 5.5 years and 90 thousand km. In the city, on the highway, through forests and fields) In fact, my first car. I learned to ride on it, became an experienced driver. Machine that forgave me a lot, for which I am grateful to her. A real war horse, a true friend.

I will try to briefly describe my impressions. I will focus more on the shortcomings, since everyone already knows about the merits of Logan.

Strengths:

• With relatively small external dimensions, it is very spacious inside
• Very comfortable harness
• The car is reliable and unpretentious
• Inexpensive non-original spare parts, including body parts, are easy to get
• High landing, clear steering allow you to safely move in confined spaces and in the city

Weaknesses:

• Very noisy engine (I draw your attention, we are talking about an 8-valve 1.6 engine!), With low power it is quite voracious
• Unsightly appearance and reputation for being a cheap, slow car. Because of this, every gopota tries to cut, to crawl forward, as if I would slow down the entire flow. Sometimes very annoying

Review Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2006 Part 2

Finally decided to sell this car. He is already 8 years old (almost). Mileage is currently 128,000 thousand km. During the time from the previous review, I changed the thermostat 2 more times, but it still does not heat up in winter. Saves a blanket on the engine and makeshift dampers in front of the radiator. I think the reason is short trips (10-30 minutes), parking (1-3 hours).

There is rust under the gas cap. There is no rust at the place of chips on the wings, sills and hood. I bought a kit to replace all belts and rollers, + a pump just in case, because. antifreeze evaporates somewhere, but not critically (50-200 gr in 0.5 years). No time for replacement yet. When changing the front brake pads, I also changed the rear ones for 110,000 km. Changed BARUM summer to NOKIAN - other sensations - no aquaplaning at all and good braking performance on wet pavement. I will not change winter tires yet, and on the old spikes there are more than 80%.

And now about the crickets: the main crickets supply power windows - all on fins. Either with slightly open windows, or with completely closed ones, the algorithm is not clear. Fuel consumption outside the city remained 6.5-7 liters per 100 km, in the city due to short trips and long-term parking 7.5-8.5-9 liters per km (no air conditioning).

Review Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2009 Part 2

Do not judge strictly, this is my first review! Before this car was a Russian tazoprom ... VAZ-2107, VAZ-2115. After buying a car, sitting behind the wheel, I felt a significant difference between our Vases and budget foreign cars. Honestly, I didn’t think that the difference will be so significant ... I was rather skeptical about buying, believing that I was buying the same car, but for a lot of money. Emphasis on Fr.

At the moment, the car has covered 35500 km, when buying it was 18200. During the year of operation, they changed the oil, dipped beam bulbs and filters ... The only thing is that the previous owner changed the steering tips .. That's all for now! on VAZ-2115 once every six months, he looked at the car and said: how much mileage do you have?

Bottom line: Looking at people buying Russian cars, such as Kalin, Grant, Prior, I sympathize with them ... Many people praise them at first, they pass 10-15 thousand and all inspiration disappears ... I myself was the owner of AvtoTaz and I know what it is ... People who bought even budget foreign cars will sit on our cars only if life forces or there will be no other cars ... Probably, the defenders of AvtoVAZ will attack now .. Logan is an ugly practical car for people of low income, which does not cause problems with proper maintenance ..

Strengths:

• Indestructible suspension, swallows all the pits on Yokohama rubber, worse on factory tires ...
• The trunk is quite roomy compared to our cars ...
• Driving comfort is close to more expensive cars (I’ll say right away, I compare it with Ford Focus, Mazda 3). I don’t take into account the dynamics.
• Plenty of space for rear passengers. No large people fit in the back seat without pushing their elbows…
• Consumption in the combined cycle is about 6 liters per 100 km.
• Price / quality ratio for 5!
• high ground clearance
• good stove

Weaknesses:

• Weak dynamics in the 1.4 engine
• The back view is simply amazing..
• Lack of handles for passengers
• The tailgate is made uncomfortable ... It opens and closes badly when the trunk is completely full ..

Review Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2006

Not a bad machine. Simple (but not primitive !!), reliable enough, moderately comfortable, well adapted to Russian conditions, maneuverable, economical, consumables are inexpensive (relatively), some repairs can be done in an open field. All units (gearbox, power steering, etc.) work confidently.

See: "merits". But seriously: 1. The interior is super spartan. 2. The machine is frankly "budget". 3. The suspension is harsh, but the same can be attributed to the merits! 4.Design barely C grade.5. The engine is arranged somehow ... not in a European way. 6. About the location of the heater control knobs, one can only speak obscenely.7. "Crickets" appeared in the 2nd or 3rd year.

Those who had "Zhiguli" (any!!), take it without hesitation!!! The car is not for racing, but it does not fall out of the general flow on the track (120 km / h is easy). In short: an inexpensive family car (country, picnic, barbecue, etc.) little car without any special claims, but also without any miscalculations. I repeat once again: after the "Zhiguli" is a fairy tale!

Friends, good afternoon! Come share your joy!

Before Logan, he had the experience of owning vases, which I don’t want to remember.

The car was purchased "from under the grandfather" with low mileage, without winter operation (and tires), without music and alarm, but in very good condition.

Unprecedented hemorrhoidlessness

Review Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2012

Hello to all car lovers! At first I thought it was not clear why write a review on such a popular car as the Logan, but given that it was my first car, there was a desire to throw out emotions. This is my first review, but please judge strictly and do not give up! :)

Yes, it seems that I am already falling into that generation that has never ridden basins, which is why my comments on this car will seem ridiculous to many. But as it is J. I actually bought a logan at the beginning of 2012, with an average configuration (of the amenities, only front power windows and central locking) for 375,000. Yes, I listen to my favorite music!

In the first month, I crushed the wing (to the metal), and not just anywhere, but in my own garage. I sold it with this dent and, I must say, I was very surprised at the quality of the metal: there was not even a hint of rust on the wing for a year and a half. Another thing is the threshold. In winter, somehow, by negligence, I pressed the right threshold, it almost immediately, in those places where it came to the metal, became covered with light rust.

Strengths:

• Adaptation for Russian conditions
• Suspension
• capacity
• Anti-theft
• Stealth for the traffic police

Weaknesses:

• Design
• Ergonomics
• Controllability

So I exchanged the first hundred thousand km in 6.5 years and decided to write the 2nd part of the review, fortunately, the passions around Logan have subsided. I will not compare with specific cars, but simply describe my impressions and the results of operation in numbers.

Even when buying, I planned that in 3 years I would change the machine. But, firstly, circumstances have changed, and secondly, why change it if everything suits you? Well, my Logan has not lost over the years either self-confidence or respect: it is still convenient, economical, reliable. And even the controversial appearance I really like with my somehow masculine appearance

Convenient - this is for my family members - spacious, comfortable, roomy, passable (everything in comparison with classmates and some more expensive brands). We really like the high seating position - it's comfortable to get on, ride and get off. With my sores, my back never hurt on hauls of more than 1000 km. Wife loves to sleep on the back sofa. There, by the way, 3 not small passengers feel free.

Hello everyone, I have already dashed off more than 40,000 km and I will write another review ..

Engine

The engine with the air conditioner on, if there are 4 people in the cabin, goes with great laziness ... it is felt even in the city, when you have to start moving often, and if you need to drive up the mountain, then you need to keep the momentum. The engine is enough if you are driving alone in the city.. on the highway you can hardly overtake someone, it takes a lot of time!

• Reliability! Confidence on long journeys

Review Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2007

I've been reading this forum for a long time, I got a lot of useful information. At one time, your reviews helped to make a choice of a car, I hope I will be useful to someone. I’ll say right away that this is my first car, there’s nothing special to compare with, except maybe a little with the Octavia, which I drive now. A little bit, because the class of cars, of course, is different.

Why Logan? There was not much money, initially I wanted to buy a used car of a higher class, but since I knew the materiel, let’s say, it doesn’t matter, I turned out to be from this idea and decided to take a new car, albeit a budget one. From inexpensive "foreign cars" Renault Logan liked. What we liked: a large trunk, ground clearance, a spacious and neatly assembled interior, clear operation of the keys and levers. Loved the comfortable resilient seats. The interior plastic is hard, but I do not see this as a drawback.

Motor was chosen. 1.6 (1.4 according to reviews - well, absolutely vegetable) Expression grade, without air conditioning and ABS, with one airbag. From the factory there was engine protection, of the conveniences only power steering, central locking and electric front windows. Wait for the car had 3 months, but brought even earlier for a couple of weeks. When the machine came, I learned an interesting point — the cost of the car increased by 9 thousand. I read the fine print in the contract - it turned out that the price has the right to change. Disgusting, of course, but you won't particularly find fault with it. Total paid 315t.r. Later, seat covers, a radio tape recorder and acoustics in the door were installed (there was an “audio preparation” from the factory - wires to the radio tape recorder and in the front doors). Installed with the help of a friend — an experienced vazovoda. I bought an alarm and limit switches in the rear doors (ordered on Exist) - from the factory there were simple plastic plugs. I set the alarm in the service (not a dealer) so as not to fly off the warranty.

Strengths:

• Reliable
• Spacious
• Not interested in thieves
• high ground clearance
• Simple design - easy to repair
• Consumes 92-gasoline

Weaknesses:

• Mediocre soundproofing
• Rusting
• There are no show-offs. Completely (with)

Review Renault Logan 1.4 (Renault Logan) 2007

I decided to write a review about my typewriter.

It so happened that I finally solved the housing problem, sold my Honda, got into debt, so I chose the car based on financial capabilities, paying special attention to the reliability of the car. After repairs in the new building, 200 thousand rubles remained on hand, which was planned to be spent on a car. And without a car, the dacha and shopping at grocery hypermarkets beckoned.

I climbed on the well-known automotive site, set a price limit of 220,000 rubles with the intention of bargaining up to the available amount, the filter “foreign cars only”, “only left-hand drive” and realized that for this money the choice is not very large, Or the old rubbish that replaced several owners or more or less fresh budget foreign cars such as Logan or Chevrolet. My requirements were the minimum investment until I get up on my feet.

Strengths:

• Outstanding durability and reliability
• Low fuel consumption
• Spacious interior
• Spacious trunk
• Soft ride, quite tolerable dynamics, even with the 1400 engine

Weaknesses:

• Appearance - sucks sucks
• The interior is just as boring, there are not even handles for the front passengers, there is nothing to grab onto when turning
• The seats do not fold in the back, not exactly 60x40, but even 100%. Horror how inconvenient, especially for summer residents

But this can be said to be nit-picking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages a lot.

Review Renault Logan 1.6 (Renault Logan) 2008 Part 4

Renault Logan - food for thought.

For four years and 51 thousand kilometers. Where have been during this time: the Black Sea, Croatia - three times, Estonia - Latvia - Lithuania, Finland - many times, Belarus - many times. Serviced by an authorized dealer. When TO-2 passed, TO-3 they asked the question: have the pads been recently changed? I haven’t changed it yet, because I mostly run on highways, I rarely have to slow down.

The car is reliable and unpretentious. Gasoline in the CIS 92, in Europe 95. It seems that Logan rides better on the 92nd. When you fill up with 95 in Europe, there is a slight increase in traction at first, but not for long. But when you fill up with 92 after Europe, you immediately feel that you are driving. Twice, and for some reason it was in Croatia, an interesting effect was observed. About an hour after the start of movement on a not very steep mountain serpentine, the engine begins to chirp like a sewing machine and does not pick up speed. Like it's not getting gas. The tank is about half full of gas. I open the gas cap. There is a good sound of the vacuum filling up, and then everything becomes normal.

The choice fell unequivocally on Renault Logan, and also the brother of the wife, with whom they later chose him, advised. The wife's brother himself works in the car market, these are already details :-), We chose exclusively in dark gray (almost black), I would not go to another in principle. We find the version of 2008 onwards, mileage 21,000 km. Ptf, air conditioning, engine 1.6l.87l.s. Winter tires, the owner says that they are not beaten, not painted. The brother takes out a device that determines the thickness of the coating, we check - everything is confirmed, we look under the hood and exactly two oil changes according to the marks. Everything suits, we take! First impressions are great! The suspension is excellent, the engine is revving, the interior is spacious and even what, the stove heats up by 5+, the interior warms up in one fell swoop, the windows do not sweat in winter. Hydrach, hurrah! My wife is happy, I'm happy.

Strengths:

• Suspension
• Clearance
• Prices for parts
• Stove
• Trunk

Weaknesses:

• Design - be treated by installing alloy wheels
• Shumka - treated with sizing

Review Renault Logan (Renault Logan) 2011

Greetings to all motorists and visitors to the site. It's time to express my personal opinion about my Renault Logan 2011 release with a 1.6 engine. About flour choice especially will not speak. I sold my Vaz 2114 2004 I took out a loan from a bank, a big amount for me — 300 wooden ones, plus proceeds from the sale of Vazik. Total 450 thousand, plus 20 thousand relatives could add. The city is small, the salaries are small, the roads are dead (currently forged). For a family of 4, two adults and two children needed a strong, reliable car to move around the city and rarely on the highway. The choice is huge, for such an amount you could take a bunch of options (mostly used and a few options from new cars). From Vazov considered only Kalina. After weighing the pros and cons decided on Renault Logan one year old. I regretted the money for a new car, since the price tag of a new car is currently 450 thousand, and wait 3 months. I am very glad that I did not take a new one, but took a little Used. The appearance of Logan suited me perfectly, but only phase 2. I found an ad, phoned. Came to watch.

The car was ideally not smoky, not smoky, not broken 100% (watched with experts), mileage 11,900, under warranty. Some colonel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations sold it. According to him, he took a car for his son, he didn’t drive, saying that his son didn’t like a car ... “Buy me, dad, another one.” But there was one thing on his part: he had to wait another week. "I won't sell it right away," he says, "Wait a week." I didn't understand what kind of trouble he had. Before that, he mentioned to me that he had a second such car, of the same color, with the same numbers, but the year is 2010. Then I thought, no matter what happened, they would sell me some kind of credit car. The bank gives the title to the bank. And the second car of 2011 (my future) was bought for cash. Thanks, of course, to the car dealership that provided me with the VIN codes for the bodies of these cars, you never know what could happen. Fears were unfounded. But it's better to play it safe A week later Polkan called and said come pick it up.

Here I am the owner of Renault of our production. I didn’t expect anything from Logan from such a foreign car, as I read a lot about him, looked. After buying for some reason there was no emotion. Feeling the car that I had before. Doors open tight (almost new). Both the rear and front close normally with the same effort. Many complain about the rear doors that do not close well. When the doors are closed, there is a slight ringing throughout the body, since there are no soundproofing materials in the logon. Only on the engine compartment incomprehensible garbage and foam. Landing behind the driver's seat is high, like on a mini jeep (after a vase). I'm comfortable. Excellent forward and side visibility thanks to the high roof. Rear view is poor. Especially parking in reverse, the high back and the rounded shapes of the rear fenders strive to break the rear bumper. In the future I will put a parking sensor, but now I try not to reach it and tear off the door in order to control the parking process.

Strengths:

• Quite a pleasant car to drive, especially over bumps
• Spacious
• Reliable
• Roomy trunk - 8 bags of potatoes, 4 small tomato boxes and 2 buckets of apples

Weaknesses:

• Too smooth acceleration
• Not a very good noise
• Door seal squeaks
• No tailgate handles
• There is no possibility of transforming the rear seatback (Sandero rules)

Renault Logan 2 phase (after 2008) is a car that needs no introduction. In it, if not at the wheel, then in the passenger seat, probably every second resident of the city was sitting. And it would seem that everything in this machine is known. But only until it comes to buying it in the secondary market. And here the questions begin, when it breaks, what breaks, how much it will cost. Now you will know the answers to these questions.

We will talk about Renault Logan 2013 release with a mileage of 70 thousand kilometers. The seller wants 310 thousand rubles for the car. As for the purchase of a new car, the second generation of the model with a 1.6 liter engine is on sale. The car has become prettier, more comfortable and functional inside.

General impression

It is difficult to talk about general impressions, because. everyone has their own. In short, Renault Logan 2 phases have average visibility, very small side mirrors, uncomfortable seats and a weak, “strangled” engine. An obvious plus is the suspension, which forgives virtually any road adversity.

There is no feeling of any comfort, compared with classmates. The operation of the gearbox and engine, landing, finishing materials, etc. - all this is at a very average level. Although, I must say, the car has no crickets. Among the same classmates with passing mileage is a rarity.

Owners of Logans of the 1st generation are trying to justify many of the shortcomings and disadvantages by the low price of ownership, they say, "show indulgence, this is a budget car." Yes, there is truth in this. But there are fundamental things that cannot be forgiven. The first is design. Yet some of the competitors interior looks much nicer. The second is the location of the buttons. They seem to be made not for people, and it is difficult to get used to them.

But let's turn to the technical side of the issue and find out the weaknesses of the Renault Logan 2 phase.

Engine

For all the years of work, service center specialists most often note such major engine sores as a leak in the front crankshaft oil seal, the problem begins to appear at a range of 40 to 100 thousand kilometers, and failure of the ignition coil. It does not withstand temperature extremes, cracks over time, and the engine starts to triple.

In problems with starting the engine, the fuel filter is also to blame. Well, or, as many write on the Internet, its absence. Moreover, he was in the first phase of Logan. Only the owners complained about its unfortunate location and the French during restyling integrated it into the fuel pump. The decision is controversial, because. from now on, the part is changed only in the assembly. You need to carefully monitor the timing belt.

Box

According to the same service center specialists, the most common sore found on the second Logan is oil leakage from the oil seal of the left drive of a mechanical transmission. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the gearbox. Or almost none. On the Internet, only the lazy did not write about the reverse gear, which switches with a characteristic crunch. It's all about the lack of synchronization. To avoid it, you need to squeeze the clutch, wait 2 seconds and “stick” the gear. Then the torque from the engine will have time to synchronize with the torque on the box.

Suspension

During operation, such a problem arises as the failure of ball bearings and silent blocks of the front levers. These are the main points that mechanics face. And there is practically nothing to add. Suspension Renault Logan 2 phase - indeed, a strong point! And, even if something breaks, the availability and prices of spare parts offset the unpleasant effect. True, there is one sore subject - uneven wear of the brake pads. But it depends more on the driving style, the origin of the spare parts and who installed them and with what hands.

Electrician

The most common sore is a broken horn. Due to poor soldering during operation, the contact departs. It is treated by replacing the steering column switch.

household sores

There are more than a dozen angry reviews on the Internet for household sores of Renault Logan Phase 2. For example, about incomprehensibly falling out foglights. Yes, it happens that they crack, but more often in winter, when you park in a snowdrift in a “hot” car. And the often mentioned problem with breaking off the headlight mount is hardly possible without physical impact.

Logan also has other weaknesses. The most common are cracking of the paintwork of the gutters of the rear fenders and the roof (this is a factory defect), and the formation of chips on the rear fenders (appear during off-road driving).

There are many cons. But there is also a pleasant moment. Most Renault Logan sores can be repaired in a garage. The car is simple, and, apart from some work that requires special tools, it is serviced elementarily.

If we talk about love or dislike for Renault Logan Phase 2, then the story is twofold. It's all about the people who buy it. They can be safely divided into 2 contingents: the first are those who did not have enough money for something else, and they took Logan out of hopelessness, and the second - who, on the contrary, approached the choice of a car as rationally as possible and counted every ruble.

Yes, the car has many flaws. But they all overlap with the very “indestructibility” that everyone is talking about. The only thing that you need to see before buying is who was the previous owner of the car. Of course, if it was a taxi company, then the car must be checked especially carefully.

A French sedan based on the Megane began to be produced in 2004 in Romania under the Dacia brand in order to meet the needs of the not quite wealthy segments of the population in Europe and Asia. But, despite the poor equipment and cheap finishing materials, there were more than enough people who wanted to buy a reliable and durable car for relatively little money. Therefore, it was decided to organize the release of Logan in Russia, plus a hatchback appeared under its own name Dacia, as well as an MCV station wagon, a VAN cargo van and a pickup truck, which is called Pick-Up.

The Renault Logan's budget also lies in the fact that an affordable and simple design allows it to be repaired in any garage without spending money on service centers and installing expensive anti-theft systems, since hijackers are absolutely not interested in it. Taxi drivers fell in love with Logan for its high ground clearance, which allows it to force curbs and a smooth ride, especially since the build quality turned out to be on top. The salon is very spacious, practical and quite comfortable, only all sorts of squeaks annoy. The level of practicality is reduced by a non-folding rear seat and very easily soiled upholstery, but there is no need to talk about comfort, since there is not even a cabin filter, the budget is the budget.

Operation and malfunction of Renault Logan engines

Of the engines on the Renault Logan, the most common 1.4 liter K7J with a capacity of 75 hp. and 1.6 l K7M in 87 hp Both are simple, reliable and absolutely hassle-free, they work with pleasure on the A-92, and the life of the fuel pump is 200 thousand km. Replacement, however, is quite expensive, since it only changes as an assembly.

The more powerful K7M is also quite high-torque and economical, fuel consumption does not exceed 7 liters on the highway and 10 liters in the city per 100 kilometers. But it also has some unfortunate features. Firstly, the throttle assembly does not differ in durability, the resource of which rarely exceeds 70 thousand kilometers, and secondly, to replace the timing belt, it is necessary to hang out the engine and remove the support, which results in additional costs. In addition, candle wells are not protected from dirt, and when replacing spark plugs, all debris strives to get into the cylinders. To avoid this, it is strongly recommended to put felt rings on candle tips. Yes, and when replacing the candles themselves, you need to be very careful, since the collector screen is all with burrs and it will not be difficult to get hurt. I would also include the lack of a fuel filter on them since 2008 as a disadvantage of gasoline engines, based on the quality of our fuel, this decision is rather controversial.

Engine oil changes every 15 thousand kilometers, of course with a filter. If after 40 thousand km a rumble appeared on a cold start, then most likely this is due to the tension roller of the V-ribbed belt, usually the extraneous rumble disappears when the engine warms up. Timing belt replacement is provided after 60 thousand kilometers, and after 70 thousand kilometers, a crankshaft oil seal may leak. On cars released in 2007, there was often a problem with a cold start, which was caused by the engine ECU. In such cases, only flashing the "brains" helps. Even on the Romanian-assembled Logan, you will have to constantly monitor the rear engine mount, which is not very durable.

Problems with Renault Logan gearbox

The transmission on Renault Logan is not original, since the gearbox and clutch are taken from, but this did not affect reliability and durability. Only fuzzy gear shifting of a five-speed manual transmission and a rattle when trying to turn on reverse gear without completely stopping the car can upset. Some people forget that there is no synchronizer on it. The clutch resource is about 80 thousand kilometers, which is relatively good.

You should not mess with an automatic transmission, it is very problematic and unreliable. Although its resource reaches 200 thousand km, but before that, after a run of 80 thousand km, a breakdown of the hydraulic valve block and wear of the friction clutches is quite likely.

Disadvantages and sores of Renault Logan electrical equipment

Electrical equipment is also not happy, mainly due to poor protection of harnesses, connectors and wiring. Particular attention should be paid to electricians when washing a car, since the not very good location of electrical appliances allows water to flood electronic components, sensors and ignition coils. In particular, the heater control unit and engine ECU are located near the battery, so the likelihood of ECU failure increases with each wash. Many Logan owners are upset by the inconvenient access to the headlights, which is why the battery has to be removed to replace the lamps. The odometer shamelessly lies, shows 1000 km, although the car actually traveled 925 - 930 km. The power window keys are very inconveniently located, since the designers decided to place them on the center console, what is the trick here is not clear. After 30 thousand kilometers, the fuse box cover, located at the end of the panel, becomes loose and starts to creak. To eliminate the squeak, it is enough to put a durite hose on the pin of the steel frame. At the same mileage, you will have to replace the spark plugs and headlight bulbs, in which, as a rule, the dipped beam burns out. A short-lived ignition coil requires constant monitoring, and the number plate lamp usually burns out after 40 thousand kilometers.

Steering Renault Logan

The Renault Logan steering came from, so it is reliable and hassle-free, just that the steering column turned out to be too high, and there are no adjustments. Steering tips change after 100 thousand kilometers, but the tie rods are not so durable, they will have to be replaced much earlier.

Malfunctions in the course, suspension and braking system Renault Logan

In the brake system, the front brake pads turned out to be the most short-lived, the resource of which rarely exceeds 30 thousand km, the rear drum brake pads can withstand up to 100 thousand km of vehicle operation. Brake discs can withstand three pad changes, and caliper guides will require constant monitoring, regular lubrication is essential for them. The suspension as a whole is comfortable, energy-intensive and hassle-free, providing a smooth ride. The front one came from, so it is quite durable, and the back one is also reliable. First of all, after 60 thousand km, they will require the replacement of the bushings and stabilizer struts, after them, in the region of 110 thousand km, the shock absorber resource will end. Ball bearings work out the longest, they will have to be changed after 120 thousand kilometers, but the replacement will upset financial waste, since they are pressed into levers and change only with them. In the chassis, only the wheel bearings turned out to be short-lived, the rest of the parts were problem-free.

Sores and problems on the body Renault Logan

The body will please with a large trunk and cheap body parts, but the paintwork turned out to be weak, especially in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe windshield frame. Most often, paint swells here on cars up to 2006 of release; on later releases of Logan, this defect was most likely eliminated. Many will not like the large trunk hinges that eat up a decent volume of the luggage compartment, as well as the short-lived trunk lid locks. Corrosion resistance turned out to be quite low, especially for cars made before 2008. First of all, the roof, the upper edges of the windshield and rear windows, gutters and rear wheel arches suffer, the chips on which are instantly covered with rust. In addition, the windshield wears out very quickly. Particular attention should be paid to rugs, which, due to temperature changes and reagents, tend to shrink, after which they cease to stick to the bosses and slide under the pedal assembly. The danger lies in the fact that the accelerator pedal begins to stick in the depressed position with all the ensuing consequences. And finally, when reversing out of a snowdrift, check the front mudguards, in which the internal caps simply break off during such maneuvering. It is best to put composite VAZ ones with a core fungus instead of regular ones.

Today, you can buy a used Logan from 2004-2006 at a price of 140,000 rubles. Moreover, it will not necessarily be a “junk” on wheels with a smoky engine and a rotten body - you can easily find a quite decent copy in a good external and technical condition on the market. When buying a second-hand sedan, first of all, pay attention to the bodywork.

Weaknesses on the Renault Logan are the edge of the windshield, sills, wheel arches and the cut of the trunk lid under the rear window. The fastest paint peels off the bottom of the rear wheel arches at the junction with the sills. This defect in the paintwork occurred even on fresh copies. The manufacturer took note of the low corrosion resistance of Logans in Russian conditions and corrected this drawback, so cars younger than 2008 no longer suffer from this ailment. It should also be noted that the body "hardware" is inexpensive. For example, the original hood and bumper are valued at 11,000 rubles, while dealers ask for 5,000 rubles each for a wing and headlight. By the way, the non-original can be purchased at half the price.

True, the availability of the car has the other side of the coin. Owners of French sedans will have to put up with cheap finishing materials and mediocre ergonomics - the steering column is adjustable only in height, the horn button is located at the end of the stalk, and the gas tank cap is opened with a key. In addition, the driver's seat moves up and down only in expensive versions of the sedan. The initial configuration of the model is characterized by extremely poor equipment. For example, in the basic version of the car there was not even an anti-roll bar and power steering.

Renault Logan was originally equipped with two gasoline "fours" with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters with a capacity of 75 and 87 hp, respectively. After restyling in 2010, Logan began to be equipped with a 16-valve version of the 1.6-liter engine, which began to produce 102 hp. Motors were installed on many models of the French concern, so they are well studied by servicemen. Engines are generally reliable, although they have their own congenital sores. Pretty quickly, the front oil seals of the camshaft and crankshaft begin to flow. Parts cost a penny, but the work of replacing them will result in 2,500 rubles. Every 60,000 km of run, it is imperative to update the timing belt (from 4,500 rubles with work), and at the same time the drive belt (2,500 rubles) and the water pump (from 2,000 rubles), which rarely last longer. The crankshaft and idle position sensors, which cost 2,500 rubles each, are prone to failure. Coils (from 1500 rubles) and spark plugs often fail. Note that the attachments of French engines are very afraid of moisture, therefore it is recommended to wash the engine only at company technical centers, which guarantee that after taking the water procedures, the car will leave the car wash on its own. And further. It is better to service and repair engines at specialized service stations, where there are special tools and mechanics familiar with Renault equipment. The fact is that the design of these motors is quite specific - for example, the cylinder count starts from the flywheel, and there are no marks on the crankshaft pulley and block for setting the valve timing.

Mechanical five-speed gearboxes will survive the engine, provided that the oil in them is changed at least once every 60,000-80,000 km. Although the manufacturer claims that it is filled for the entire service life. Over time, the linkage of the gearbox lever becomes loose. It is treated by replacing the bushings by installing a repair kit for 2000 rubles. It must be remembered that the reverse gear is not equipped with synchronizers, so it should only be engaged when the car is completely stopped and the clutch pedal is fully depressed. But with an automatic four-band box, there are much more problems. Even with proper operation, it can withstand a maximum of 150,000 km, despite the fact that the box has been repeatedly upgraded over the past ten years. The valve body (from 32,000 rubles) can fail before hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Periodically, the oil level in the automatic transmission must be checked and changed at least once every 60,000 km. Insufficient oil pressure in the box can cause failure of the clutch pack. The only consolation is that the repair of the automatic transmission is relatively inexpensive. Its overhaul is estimated at 60,000-90,000 rubles.

A lot of flattering words have been said about the energy intensity of the Logan suspension. Chassis swallows small bumps and potholes without noticing, and in deep pits only slightly shaking riders. True, the abuse of the omnivorous suspension directly affects its durability - by the way, it does not differ in excessive vitality anyway. For example, stabilizer struts and bushings can withstand an average of 20,000 km, although they are inexpensive. At the 50th thousand run, native shock absorbers (3,500 rubles each) and ball shock absorbers are usually surrendered. Wheel hubs (4000 rubles each) and thrust bearings (1800 rubles each) can withstand even less. In steering consumables, rod ends (1900 rubles each) are considered consumables. But in the rear suspension with a semi-independent beam, in addition to the wear of silent blocks and shock absorbers, there is nothing special to break.

Frequently burning low beams, dimensions and brake lights, poor interior ventilation and sound insulation are also annoyed. Native wiper blades, which after 5000-8000 km begin to smear dirt on the glass, should be immediately replaced with a part from another manufacturer.
