Auto expert listed the best cars for Br500 thousand.

The most practical choice in the price category up to 500 thousand rubles on the secondary car market in Russia is Volkswagen Polo IV generation. This model stands out for its reliability, availability of spare parts and unpretentious units, said auto expert Alexander Kovalev from Expocar, reports "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" on December 9.

The expert put Volkswagen Passat B5 on the second place in the rating. Its maintenance is cheaper than that of premium models, and the overall level of reliability remains at a good level, said the expert.

The third line went to Audi A4 B5, which can attract a galvanized body, enduring power units and a wide choice of motors. However, since the age of such cars is about 25 years, the buyer should be ready for maintenance costs, Kovalev pointed out.

"Next should be named BMW 5 Series E39, which, despite its legendary character, will require thorough diagnostics before purchase. At the bottom of such a rating can be placed Mercedes-Benz E-Class W210. The model is characterized by reliability, but there are few of them left on the market, and it is extremely difficult to find a worthy copy". - he noted.

December 6, auto expert Julia Trushkova told about the proper use of the car in night frosts. She noted that it is better to use a parking lot or use a special car blanket, which will keep the heat under the hood. You can also buy a pre-start heater, which will start the car without a cold start.

On December 3, auto expert Valery Antyufiev said that a number of Citroen, Peugeot, Cadillac, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz crossovers are unable to demonstrate real reliability in harsh Russian winter operating conditions.
