I present a universal recipe for enlivening a conversation in a bored group of motorists. Just ask: “How do you like the ‘Chinese’?” I guarantee that the debate about the merits and demerits of cars from the Middle Kingdom will drag on for a long time. And even more so when it comes to buying a used car!

OLD NEW YEAR

In the June 2010 issue of ZR, Yuri Timkin tested the new Great Wall Hover N5 in its historical homeland. Well, like new... Structurally, this is an Isuzu from the early 2000s. Yuri then noted that the desire of the Chinese to stylistically embellish the body and interior of the Japanese donor prevailed over the desire to engage in driving performance. However, in my native language, Chinese market“Hover H5” remained in the top 25 most popular all-terrain vehicles, and this, as the author suggested, was a good bid to not get lost in our country.

Later, “Khovryusha,” as it was affectionately nicknamed in Rus', in addition to gasoline engines, acquired a 2-liter turbodiesel, and in addition to a manual transmission, they began to offer a five-speed “automatic” in tandem with the diesel engine. And since 2011, the H5 has been assembled here, and the Chinese are not looking for easy ways: previously the body was welded and painted in Cherkessk, and now in the Lipetsk region, assembly - in Gzhel, near Moscow.

SECOND WIND

To get acquainted, I found a silver Great Wall, born in 2011, with a 150-horsepower 2-liter turbodiesel and an automatic transmission. For a Russian-assembled car with a mileage of 42,000 km, they asked for 698,000 rubles. Expensive? Perhaps adequate for the market. Prices for the restyled H5 from 2011 start at 500,000 rubles - that’s what they ask for for the base one gasoline modification With manual transmission. But the diesel-automatic version is significantly more expensive, and many are looking for it - it’s more convenient to live with an “automatic”!

If at first the Great Wall company developed its engines from licensed Mitsubishi engines, then the Chinese announced this turbodiesel as a product own development. Although they do not hide the fact that they were helped by Bosch engineers.

The turbodiesel is mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic transmission. The combination of a diesel engine and an automatic transmission is extremely rare for Chinese cars case, which is why we had our eye on this H5. The “Automatic” 5R35 is adaptive, it is supplied by the Hyundai Mobis company (a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor concern), although many sellers do not think about it.

The interior sports pseudo-leather, on which you quickly sweat. The front seats are heated.

A few words about appearance. Mazda motifs are felt in the design of the front part. Such a face is more fun than the dull chrome strips of the pre-restyling Hover H3, a la the old Logan. The taillights have LEDs, which is fashionable now.

Another plus of this example is the 17-inch alloy wheels and almost new all season tires including spare wheel. If you consider how much a tire of this size costs, you can consider that the seller is giving a gift.

The car has no visible external flaws. The body is not galvanized, but in the three years it has lived, the car has not become covered with red sores. The car that I liked was spared the corrosion problem also because the former owner took care of the anti-corrosion agent: here they are, thick streaks of Movil.

The austere interior is perfectly preserved, not even abrasions can be seen. Driver's seat regulated by servos - beauty! But the landing may scare off a potential buyer. Like most framed all-terrain vehicles from Asia, it comes from the eighties: the legs are extended, as if you are sitting in a coupe. This is because the height of the seat cushion is minimal. Same problem with the back seat. At the same time, there is no special reserve over your head. Tall people will not be happy with such seats.

The touch screen of the audio system monitor also shows the camera image while driving in reverse. Climate control? Eat. It is no frills, but still it is a “climate”, and not a workers’ and peasants’ air conditioner. But there is no cabin filter: is the atmosphere in China cleaner than in Russia?

And most importantly: over the years, the persistent chemical smell, which, I remember, Yuri complained about, disappeared from the car.

Twist the ox

When buying a used SUV, about its general technical condition A look from below will tell you a lot. We drove the H5 onto the lift, and an almost virgin bottom was revealed to our eyes - without dried pieces of clay and grass in the open cavities of the frame. This means that the car was driven mainly around the city; it did not see any serious off-road conditions. And this is understandable: diesel modification There is no full-fledged transfer case with a reduction row.

Transmitting torque to the front wheels is a single-speed Borg-Warner transfer case with chain drive- This is a lightweight TOD (Torque-On-Demand) all-wheel drive system. Depending on the selected mode, the car can be either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive “on demand” - when the distribution of torque between the axles is controlled by an electromagnetic clutch. Moreover, the main pairs in the bridges are longer, highway ones: gear ratio 3.9 versus 4.22 for cars with a manual transmission. All this moves this H5 from the rank of uncompromising all-terrain vehicles to the category of crossovers.

Is it problem-free power unit? From the service side no special complaints There is no address to the GW 4D20 motor. It has a common rail battery injection (model CRS 3.2) and a Borg-Warner BV43 turbocharger with variable performance - like modern European diesel engines. As for turbo lag in the range from 1800 to 2000 rpm, which is well known to owners of diesel hover cars, I didn’t notice it on this car. It is possible that the engine control unit was reflashed by the owner.

The general inspection was pleasing. Perhaps for the first time I met on secondary market a car that is completely ready for use and does not require any financial investment. A short test drive confirmed this: neither the suspension nor the body made any extraneous noise (in case anyone has forgotten, it rests on a powerful spar frame). The Hover crossed asphalt unevenness with savory tire slaps. Even when empty, it tried to prance around the most innocent turns, throwing its stern like an unbroken horse. However, our people have learned to deal with this too, choosing shock absorbers with different characteristics. But in general, riding habits are no worse and no better than those of other frame tribesmen.

TOTAL

A completely new Chinese all-terrain vehicle for 700,000 rubles is not for nothing, but I am ready to call the price adequate. Turbodiesel, automatic, excellent condition. It looks like the initial build issues have been mostly ironed out. One of the obvious advantages is the modest consumption of diesel fuel: if you don’t drive it, you get about 9 liters per hundred.

The target audience of the used diesel Hover is summer residents who have moved from domestic all-terrain vehicles. They are the ones who will appreciate the high-torque diesel engine, automatic transmission, extremely simple all-wheel drive control, solid ground clearance (almost 240 mm), front torsion bar suspension with a high margin of safety, climate control and a decent trunk volume. There are enough spare parts and service stations for the Hover, but the “Chinese” breaks down much less often than its Russian colleagues. The main thing is that the work must be within his capabilities.

We thank the Formula 91 supercar market for their help in preparing the material.

In 2011, full-scale assembly of SUVs began Great Wall Hover H5 at the plant in the city of Gzhel. We will talk about them

First appearance Wall Hover took place in public in 2005. Assembled in the image and likeness of Isuzu Axiom and with licensed Mitsubishi units, the SUV looked attractive enough to find its admirers not only in its homeland. In Russia, in fact, it was Hover that at one time was able to provide some competition Russian SUVs, being also noticeably better equipped. The only thing that upset Great Wall customers was the unstable quality of assembly and components, disgusting service and the lack of a spare parts warehouse. In addition to China, Hover was assembled for some time in Cherkessk at the Derways plant, in the Far East and, after a slight hitch during the 2008 crisis, in Gzhel. During this time, Hover simply changed to Hover H3 and on October 5, 2011 it was supplemented by our hero - Hover H5. This year there was a slight restyling, so we will talk about, so to speak, the pre-restyling H5.

NOT EVERYTHING IS GOLD THAT RUMRS

Great Wall Hover H5 buyers are a fairly monolithic contingent. Men, as a rule, are middle-aged and older, strong-armed, educated, have families and love to relax outside the city. Women, of whom there are a surprising number of H5 drivers, appreciate the Hover for its solidity, sense of security and good comfort. To all this it is worth adding that the Hover H5 is often the first SUV in the family after cars. The sales geography is also wide. Both in the Caucasus and Karelia you can find a characteristic streamlined silhouette.

During the entire production period, the Hover H5 was equipped with two engines - gasoline and diesel. Basic, basic and most suitable motor should be called a licensed copy of the Mitsubishi 4G64 Sirius series, which produced 128 hp. With. with a volume of 2.4 liters, it consumed AI-92 and did not have any serious problems.

The 2.0 liter diesel engine was developed by Chinese mechanics in collaboration with foreign ones. Turbodiesel with fuel circuit common rail develops 150 hp. With. and 310 Nm of torque. The engine is unique... It pulls well only with an “open” turbine, but it can easily consume 13–14 liters of fuel per hundred. At cruising highway speeds it is quite economical and fits into 8 liters.

Diesel cars, by the way, are imported from China, from the plant in Baoding, the birthplace of Great Wall. It is this diesel engine that can become a real headache, toothache and other pain for the owner. The problem lies in the fuel. No matter how much you install filters, no matter how you choose gas stations, you may still be unlucky. Then by 60,000–70,000 km diesel Hover starts reluctantly in the morning. Instead of 1–1.5 seconds of rotation of the starter, it takes 3–4... And more than once... This is the first symptom that the injectors are not operating normally. Flushing doesn't help, it needs replacement, but they haven't learned how to do repairs yet. Now, pay attention! New injector for diesel Great engine Wall Hover H5 costs... RUB 26,000! One!

On this, in fact, we can finish the story about diesel version, but since they still take them, let’s add a little more tar. There is a stream of cars coming to the services to replace the block head. Moreover, for one gasoline engine there are 10 diesel engines. It all starts with deterioration in cooling, then the stove stops producing heat, then the head starts to operate. Symptoms indicate airing of the system. Cause? Disgusting quality of gasket. The head costs 70,000 rubles. out of employment.

Petrol. The licensed version of the Sirius motor from MMC is already two hundred years old.
It fits Hover perfectly and should be taken

But that's not all. The cooling system is made in such a way that it is almost impossible to expel air from it. Previously, the owner was given one and a half liters of antifreeze and told: go home, add it yourself... If the poor fellow does not come for the next head replacement within a month or two, he is lucky: he was careful. Repairing the heads is practically useless. When overheated, microcracks appear in them, which can cause antifreeze to get into the oil, into the cylinders, anywhere. The fourth cylinder suffers first...

Ancient against the backdrop of diesel gasoline engine looks like Belgium against the backdrop of Chechnya. Quietly, without pathos, democratically, economically and sensibly. There are also overheats, and oil rushes out from under the filter, but, you see, these are such charming little things! By the way, unlike a diesel engine, a gasoline engine can be serviced and repaired yourself or at any more or less decent service center.

Owner's opinion:Anton, GW Hover H5 2.4 MT 2012
Changed mine Hyundai Sonata on a 2012 Hover H5 last summer, paying only
200,000 rub. I immediately lifted it, threw the spare tire onto the roof, and put the gas under the bumper. Now I have one and a half thousand kilometers of autonomous range. I traveled halfway across the country in a year, which is why I bought the car. Serious damage there weren’t any, they only took out burnt-out light bulbs, until they taught me how to start the engine by turning off the lights. The power surge at startup kills even Bosch. I regret that my car doesn’t have an automatic transmission; they say it’s reliable.

BETWEEN THE LINES

About half Great owners Wall Hover H5 regularly drive off the asphalt. About every fourth person “makes his car look beautiful,” in the sense of lifting it. Moreover, even with an authorized service it will not be expensive at all and will have almost no effect on the warranty. By the way, since we are talking about the manufacturer’s obligations, it should be noted that, firstly, Great Wall is represented by the Irito company, with which you will be suing. And secondly, serious problems It’s impossible to decide without a trial - the warranty is so tightly wound that the only case covered by the warranty is when the car’s frame breaks in half right in the showroom. Failure of the power window control unit is not covered by warranty, and breakdown of the wiper mechanism is also not covered. The crosspieces, the all-wheel drive connection mechanism, the catalyst, the clutch are themselves to blame. Fuel system – bad gasoline... Cars walked with a hole in internal CV joint. Yes, you guessed it right. Dealers change at their own expense if the client is persistent. Is the chrome peeling? Not to us! Moreover, buyers, as a rule, are not lawyers, and in general are more often romantics and gullible, otherwise they would not have looked at the “Chinese”. Obligations are not read, relying on Chinese honesty. Well, yes, they shoot for corruption! But there are not fewer corrupt officials...

Baggage. “Chinese” is suitable if you don’t need to carry a long one,
fragile and heavy – the seats recline with a step

But let's not talk about sad things. In the end, everyone has problems, but the Great Wall Hover H5 is still quite reliable car. Let's say the chassis calmly takes care of any of our roads, up to 60,000–70,000 km without bothering the owner. Then the lower ball joints may require replacement - 9,000 rubles. for a couple with work. Expensive because you have to take it apart rounded fist. Then the crosspieces may begin to tap. For some reason, out of the three, only one is equipped with an oiler. During heavy use in mud, it is important to pay attention to the condition of the joint covers of the front axle axle shafts. They are made from not the most durable material. Somewhere around 100,000 km the clutch “runs out”. This mileage is very approximate, since in reality it depends solely on the owner. Very reliable automatic boxes transmission There was a case when the box arrived for service without any oil at all - and nothing survived.

Passengers. There is a lot of space in the second row of seats, but the floor is high

ELEVATOR UP

The standard version of the Hover H5 does not shine with cross-country ability. The low front suspension subframe and the cross member to which the transmission is attached spoil everything. After the lift, it is possible to install 31/10.5 wheels, which allows Hover to compete with, say, UAZ Patriot. For wheels larger than 32 inches, it is necessary not only to lift the suspension, but also to cut the body with arches. In principle, the chassis is strong enough, and even if the main pairs are replaced, the transmission can withstand it.

A basic 40 mm lift can be made for 40,000 rubles. with a job at a dealership. It includes long-stroke shock absorbers, reinforced stabilizer links, longer rear springs. The torsion bars are tightened at the front, and to ensure normal operating angles of the CV joints, the subframe with the gearbox is lowered on washers. Ground clearance becomes 240 mm taking into account big wheels, which makes it possible to use the car as a tourist. At least the GWHover club is very actively involved in all sorts of rides.

Equipment.
At one time, Hover took the buyer with an interior package,
now competitors have caught up

Off-road, in addition to the usual troubles with the clutch, bodywork and CV joint boots, the owner may have trouble connecting the front end. Actuating mechanism not too sealed and, as a rule, does not survive the ingress of water and dirt. In addition, if you stalled without turning on the four-wheel drive, it will not turn on, since the front wheels also need to turn in order to avoid shock loads. What if the car doesn't move? Sometimes they put a button for forced operation of the mechanism, which helps out in such a situation.

No roads.
IN basic version Hover does not shine with cross-country ability. But it’s durable and easy to lift

You might be under the impression that the Great Wall Hover H5 is only suitable for trips to the market for spare parts... This is, of course, not the case. The whole line Great SUVs Wall are good expeditioners. I myself have traveled the length and breadth of the Russian North-West and Scandinavia on Wingle, Hover H3 and H5. These cars did not bring me any other emotions than positive ones. Well, except that the driver's seat in SUVs is a bit short and the airbag is set too low. Otherwise everything is fine. In the end, the Hover H5 is one of those cars that is completely dependent on its owner, and if you treat it carefully, it will last a long time. No wonder Confucius said: “A restrained person has fewer mistakes!”

2011, “Hover N5”, Dmitrovsky training ground, Russian methodology - the Chinese all-terrain vehicle meets all safety requirements in force in the Russian Federation.

TWINS

The Chinese have mastered cloning technology well, and in the case of Hover, no gene mutations occurred. The twin of the Japanese Isuzu-Axiom turned out to be quite nice and solid. Initially, the car was made only in China, but already in April 2010, assembly was established in Gzhel, near Moscow. Russian VIN located under the hood, on the left side of the engine panel, the Chinese one is stamped on the frame, behind the rear right wheel, when registering it is simply entered as a frame number. Our assembly, unfortunately, differs not in better side. Body parts are poorly fitted, and already at the service center you have to finish the car, eliminating unacceptably large gaps. There have been cases when, due to poor assembly, leaks appeared in the interior openings rear doors and trunk lids.

Hover body paint is not famous high quality, but also does not have serious flaws. The biggest problem was the appearance of rust under the fifth door trim due to the poor design of the latter. But it was changed during the first restyling. The metal of the body is not galvanized, but with proper care it holds up at least.

THE QUIETER YOU GO, THE FURTHER YOU'LL GET

Gasoline engines are borrowed from Mitsubishi and can be found on Pajero and Outlander. The first Hover H2 even had symbols under the hood Japanese manufacturer. All motors are reliable and maintainable. However, when adjusted to modern toxicity standards, they lost dynamics. Although the Japanese, under the same restrictions, remove noticeably more from their engines.

It’s a strange thing, during the first modernization (Hover H3), the 2.4 liter engine (4G64 with 130 hp), which frankly did not pull, was replaced with an even less powerful 2-liter (4G63, 122 hp). During the second work on the errors (Hover H5), the old displacement returned (4G69, 136 hp), but did not add any enthusiasm. To help owners, some services offer flashing of the control unit. The service is effective and in great demand.

Despite the permission to use 92-grade gasoline, it is recommended not to skimp and pour 95-grade gasoline because of the engine’s tendency to detonate. Fuel consumption can be considered adequate to the displacement of the engines and the weight of the vehicle. You shouldn't skimp on changing the oil either. Starting this year, the manufacturer has reduced the interval between maintenance services to 8,000 km, and this is quite justified, especially when operating the Hover outside of good roads. Most of the faults are caused by the motor equipment. Most often, the crankshaft sensor and lambda probes fail. In the first case, the problem is the quality of the unit, and in the second, half the battle is in our gasoline. Sometimes the regulator malfunctions idle move, otherwise there are no more defects than those from famous manufacturers.

There are no complaints about diesel engines. A very rare naturally aspirated 2.8-liter volume migrated from the Axiom and is found only on pre-restyling H2 models. The supercharged 2-liter diesel engine is already a joint German-Chinese development, but it became available only on the H5. Possessing high reliability, the new diesel engine, unfortunately, is no less lazy than its gasoline brothers. Significant turbo lag only releases after 2000 rpm, which is extremely uncharacteristic for diesel engines. But here, too, flashing will come to the rescue.

DOSED LOAD

The manual transmission is quite reliable. It suffers mainly due to unprofessional tuning. When installing additional protection its airflow is disrupted, causing overheating, which primarily affects the bearings. This also occurs when oil change intervals are not observed. Fortunately, the box is structurally simple and repairable.

The clutch is not known for its high reliability. The average lifespan is about 80,000 km, and this is greatly reduced when driving off-road. You will find reinforced analogues on the spare parts market. They will last longer, but the shifts will become harsher. At one time, the H5 had a defect in the clutch basket, which caused the gears to shift poorly when the car was warm. A ringing sound was heard on some Hovers release bearing. For reasons that are not fully clear, its body touched the petals of the basket. The defect is treated by replacing the unit with a selective selection of parts. There is a slight adjustment of the pedal travel, but contrary to rumors, this operation does not have a significant effect on the service life of the linings.

Automatic transmission "Aisin" is available only on H5 s diesel engine. There are no problems with it.

FULL FORWARD

During the transition to the H3 model, the transfer case control lever on the H2 gave way to a button (it is also found on the transitional H2).

On all Hovers, the front axle is engaged through electronic clutch, which controls the connection of the left wheel shaft to the output shaft front differential. When the clutch is disengaged, free rotation of the front right wheel causes free rotation of the differential, as a result, other elements of the transmission do not rotate.

The all-wheel drive sensor most often becomes the culprit of malfunctions - inability to connect or spontaneous blocking of the clutch.

The mechanical part of the all-wheel drive does not cause problems. Servicing the transfer case comes down to timely oil changes. The bridges are reliable and designed to increased load. The main thing here is to follow the maintenance regulations. There was a period when there were factory defects internal anthers CV joints. Without visible reasons holes appeared into which grease was squeezed out. Helped timely replacement covers.

There are spare parts on the market for fine-tuning the model: other main pairs, differential locks. Some services offer to raise the body. But even without fine-tuning, the off-road capabilities of the Hover meet the expectations of most owners.

ENDANGERED SPECIES

"Hover" boasts a frame structure and reliable suspension. The only reason for complaints is rear shock absorbers on the restyled H3 and H5. Owners complain that they are too stiff, causing the rear of the car to bounce on bumps. But you can choose softer analogues. Front silent blocks upper control arms they walk 80,000 km, and the lower ones - about 100 thousand. Ball ones last about 60,000 km and usually die in pairs. Silent blocks rear suspension live approximately 100,000 km.

The braking system is poorly designed. Due to the heavy weight of the car, the pads wear out very quickly: the front ones after 20,000 km, and the rear ones after 35 thousand. At the same time, the front brake discs last for 80,000 km, and the rear ones are rarely changed. With heavy use, they turn sour by 20,000 km. brake mechanisms. It is worth doing their prevention every time you change the pads. Steering faults occur mainly on pre-restyling H2s. By about the age of five, the power steering pump may fail. The lower steering cardan connecting the bevel gear and the rail. At H3 this design was abandoned. The racks rarely break, and the tie rods and ends are replaced separately.

WEATHER IN THE HOUSE

At first, the salon was almost completely migrated from Axiom. But during the modernization on the H3, they introduced their own version. Although sometimes there are transitional H3s with an old interior. The internal electrical equipment has a separate control unit. Because of his abnormal work, the electrician sometimes went crazy. During the recall campaign, this unit was reflashed.

The disadvantage of the air conditioning system was the absence of a cabin filter (until this year) and the location of the lower refrigerant pipe, which suffers from reagents. The heater radiator requires attention - it sometimes leaks on old H2s.

The rain sensor may cause the windshield wipers to malfunction. In winter, when the windshield wiper blades stick to the glass, due to its operation, the slots on the leads are cut off. Plastic bushings in the mechanism also often break; to replace them, you will have to completely disassemble the trapezoid.

The lock of the standard gas tank cap often fails, so the owners replace the obstinate cap with a regular one - without a cylinder.

There are still problems with spare parts in the regions. The Chinese have never made proper catalogs, which makes it difficult to select parts, and there are sometimes difficulties with delivery. Sometimes it is possible to adapt analogues from other brands, but for some there is no alternative.

“Hover” is distinguished by its maintainability, so an experienced owner can easily cope with routine maintenance.

RESULT

If you don’t skimp on maintenance and pay attention to the Hover according to regulations, then the “Made in China” label can be considered a compliment.

Hello everyone! A short summary about Gregory - Hover N5, 2.4 liters, 2011. Cost with extras – 780 thousand. Purchased and put into operation on November 16, 2011. After a calendar year, the mileage is almost 20 thousand Russian kilometers in St. Petersburg and a little in the region. Over the past period, 2220 liters (92, three times - 95, mainly Kirishi gasoline) were spent on fuel - 57,500 Russian rubles. By simple arithmetic operations you can calculate average consumption per 100 km – 11.1 liters. The routes are small, 15 - 25 km (30 -50 per day), there are few out-of-town trips, so the car was used mainly in urban traffic jams - 90 percent of total mileage. A small note - the odometer is lying. The speed is overestimated by 10%, I still haven’t figured out the mileage. I calibrated the BC using kilometer posts outside the city, its difference with the odometer is about 3%. I think the mileage is overestimated somewhere around that, but not a fact. I didn’t get a Zhy Pi Esom because... unnecessarily. Other expenses – almost 80,000 rubles. This includes mid-budget winter tires, thresholds, three tire fittings, three maintenance (for 2, 8, 15 thousand km - approx. 30 thousand in total), consumables, all sorts of washer mats, scrapers, brooms, cabin filters, 70 liter pump, 4 ton jack, all sorts of small things, a couple of glass repairs from pebbles on the roundabout. Total: 917.5 thousand per year. Impression. First big car that's why I have general impression– purely positive. Led, of course, by all-wheel drive. Convenient, seamless connection, and a feeling of almost omnipotence. I haven’t climbed into deep mud - not a fan, but at a purely consumer level - knee-deep snowdrifts, forest puddles and muddy ditches - at first with apprehension and then with legitimate confidence (but there’s always a thought in my head - the steeper the ass, the further to run for tractor), proudly declaring to passengers that this car is not a bully, but still an off-road vehicle. Sound insulation is decent, you can barely hear it rear axle and at higher speeds the engine, but it doesn’t bother me at all. The muffler sounds nice. But as soon as the wheels get caught in mud or wet snow, whoever can save himself. It drums very well on the arches. Although a friend in a Civic has the impression that there is no sound insulation at all. Very controllable, willingly gets out of a skid on ice. I would like the angle of rotation of the wheels to be a little larger and the steering wheel to be turned less. But that’s probably how it’s supposed to be for off-roaders. Very long. Due to the front bumper, IMHO, they could slightly reduce the overall size and increase the overhang. It's not easy to park in the yard. The rear camera helps a lot, but in wet weather it gets lost very quickly. Wonderful mugs-mirrors. Visibility is excellent. The wide left front pillar with installed wind protection was confusing at first - in a left turn it’s easy not to notice a horseless person crossing the road. Especially in the dark. But since the human head is attached to the body by means of appropriate hinges, I taught myself to twist it more often and look behind the counter. There is enough space in the cabin, either in the front or in the back. It’s a little unusual that the floor is high and you can’t stretch your legs, but it’s a frame. The seats themselves are quite comfortable, the driver's seat is electrically adjustable. Sits on backseat uncomfortable. The door is large, but the free opening is small. BS lamps often burn out, maybe because I buy inexpensive Mayak ultra white ones. Four sets per year. The plastic in the interior is very delicate; the top layer of the dashboard is easily scratched. During the first heat, the central cover of the instrument panel (where there are two deflectors and an emergency warning button) burst. Apparently they were fastened too tightly during assembly, I used an air conditioner with closed central deflectors, left it in the sun - and hello to you. After that, I was sure to cover the dashboard with a screen. By the way, they refused to replace it under warranty (it was like he tried it and broke it). The plastic in the trunk is worn and scratched, although I rarely carry anything there. By the way, the size of the trunk was disappointing; I expected more capacity. It’s a pity that the rear seats don’t lie flat on the floor. But this is all small stuff. The main thing is in something else. After about 10 kilometers it started to shake when braking. At the maintenance (15k) they reported that there was increased ovality of the front brake discs. Replacement - about 9 thousand (pads + discs + work). By 14 thousand the engine power began to disappear slightly, the engine became stupid from 2.5 thousand revolutions sharp jerk, etc. In short, the diagnosis is clutch wear (!!). Replacement is about 12 thousand. Moreover, the spare parts offered at the service are “original”. That is, another 20 thousand?, no more. Rave. On a VAZ 2112 at 70 thousand, I first changed the clutch and the brake discs somewhere. The technician will tell you that the car is heavy, the conditions are off-road, I’m pressing the pedals incorrectly, etc. - It’s like it’s all his own fault. And I think the materials are *o*but. Cases are not guaranteed. I can no longer imagine what is included in the guarantee. But service is a different issue, albeit a pressing one. Spare parts are usually made to order. There are few sellers. The overlay appeared in Moscow almost six months later, after sending out requests. I couldn’t find it here in St. Petersburg. To order 2-3-10-14-21 and so on days. It’s even difficult to give a general rating...
