Buying a car is a joyful event that the car owner remembers for many years to come. But it also happens that the purchase turns into a disappointment and they try to get rid of the car that did not live up to expectations as quickly as possible. Experts from the iSeeCars analytical agency analyzed 24 million new car sales facts in 2015-2016 and compiled rating of the most unfortunate cars. Unnecessary cars (identified by VIN codes) got into it, which ended up on secondary market after at least 4 months, and as a maximum - a year from the date of the first sale.
10 Subaru WRX
Refused - 3.3% of the owners.
This powerful all-wheel drive sedan with an indestructible suspension has several drawbacks.
This is plastic in the cabin, it is easily worn out and broken in the cold.
It's a radiator with a plastic top and bottom that cracks and leaks antifreeze.
This plastic body kit, and if you try to drift in the winter, then when you get into a snowdrift, the plastic threshold will inevitably fall off.
But the most important Subaru disadvantage WRX are its owners. No, not those who carefully care for the car, change its oil on time and send it to MOT on time. And those who use japanese car like a sports equipment, they tune it with or without reason, exploit it mercilessly, and then sell it to the next reckless driver. It is difficult to find an unbeaten car in the used car market. Subaru WRX.
9 Chrysler 200
Resold during the year 3.8% of the owners.
What can make the owner part with this ergonomic, solid-looking car with a large trunk and elastic suspension? Maybe, high flow fuel (10.5 liters per 100 km in combined cycle), not the most better dynamics or just a desire to buy a newer model.
8 Mercedes E-Class
Disappointed and sold 3.9% of the owners.
Most often, the owners of this car are dissatisfied with:
the quality of leatherette in the cabin, it is very thin;
weak heated seats;
parking sensors, which squeaks at the last moment, and before that you have to monitor the situation by assistants in the back and front;
a problem with power windows in the "auto-up" mode at sub-zero temperatures.
But driving comfort, comfortable seats, large trunk volume, excellent sound insulation and elegant appearance of the car largely compensate for the above disadvantages.
7. BMW 4 Series
Were resold on the secondary market 3.9%
This is a solid, envious looking model with active cruise control, adaptive M-chassis, very comfortable seats and excellent handling. Among the shortcomings, drivers note poor sound insulation and creaky plastic in the cabin; complaints are rare in terms of reliability and convenience when driving. The more surprising that this car was in the top 10 unwanted cars.
6. BMW X3
Were resold during the first year 3.9%
If you buy this car in the simplest variation of Urban, then of all the "amenities" it will only have parking sensors. Faux leather seats, according to one of the users, resembles a tarpaulin, the seats do not have a separate adjustment of the lumbar support. Therefore, those who expect from the budget bmw configuration The X3's amazing ride comfort might be disappointing.
5. Dodge Dart
Percentage of resales in the first year - 3.9%
The top five most frequently resold cars in the first year are opened by a rare guest on Russian roads. It's impressive from the outside american sedan, positioned as a youth. Those who have purchased a Dodge Dart complain about the lack of space in the cabin, uncomfortable and stooping seats, and unpleasantly loud and hard plastic. All this leaves a feeling of cheapness.
4.Nissan Versa Note
Were quickly resold 4.0%
five-door family hatchback, designed primarily for American market as conceived by the creators was to become a competitor Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. Differs in aesthetic appearance and a functional interior, up to the driver's seat moved longitudinally and in height, compartments for "small things" and cup holders.
Of the main shortcomings, motorists call mediocre road holding and poor acceleration and braking dynamics.
3. Mercedes C-Class
Sold shortly after purchase - 6.1%.
Auto, beautiful in appearance, with excellent sound insulation and predictable behavior on the road.
But small trunk, rigid suspension, expensive CASCO policy and expensive maintenance from official dealer able to spoil the pleasure of owning this brainchild of the German car industry.
2. BMW 5 Series
The number of resold copies in the first year is 7.1%.
This is a German car, it seems to some car owners too noisy and long in conditions big city with dense buildings. But his interior looks more solid and richer than that of the "colleague" from the third series.
1. BMW 3 Series
In the first year, 8.0% of owners parted ways with the car.
To the main disadvantages of this all-wheel drive german sedan relate:
low ground clearance (145 mm);
mirrors that do not fold automatically;
low quality seat leather;
lack of a lumbar cushion in the seats;
wheel noise when driving on the highway;
bumps are well felt — retribution for good handling.
It seems surprising that in the top three cars that seek to quickly resell turned out to be luxurious and pretty. This can be explained by the fact that some consumers who decide to purchase such a car for themselves later find that the status model in the basic configuration does not provide the comfort that they expected. Frustrated, they sell the “bad” car very quickly.
Another factor that may explain the resale of blacklisted cars during the first year of ownership has to do with the quality or perceived quality of the cars. With the exception of BMW cars and Mercedes-Benz, all models on the list averaged 3 stars or less in J.D. Power 2016 U.S. Initial Quality Study. This is a customer satisfaction survey after 90 days of owning a car.
It is important to note that all cars from this rating cannot be called bad. This top 10 is a reflection of the disappointment of consumers who expected more from their car. Often the car is sold because of single “glitches” with Bluetooth, navigation or audio system. These systems either don't work as expected or don't work as intuitively as they could.
Often, when buying a car, a person is lost in the choice of the necessary functions and options that he is offered to install. Major automakers, in pursuit of the client, invented hundreds of all kinds of add-ons to ensure better comfort driver and passenger. Many of them have long taken root and are installed by default even in the most budget models as very necessary. But all the innovations are first tried on by the premium class. We will not consider the most exotic ones, but will focus on the most popular ones, which are available on the vast majority of models, and accordingly, you can order for yourself ... Or not. Depending on their need. Perhaps we'll start.
1. Keyless entry to the salon note first. Today, many manufacturers offer the opportunity to get inside the car without taking the key out of your pocket. It will be very convenient if your hands are busy. Or maybe the key will not be needed at all if there is a fingerprint scanner. You can not be afraid to forget the keys somewhere and think about them in general.
2. Start-stop button no less interesting option (). Again, it frees you from the hassle with the keys, allowing you to start and turn off the car with the push of a button. Very comfortably!
3.Bluetooth technology a lot of people will like it too. It allows you to synchronize your car's media system with any mobile device with the same function. Enables you to carry on conversations speakerphone, as well as listen to music from your device. Very comfortably.
4. Cruise control. Not the most desired option when driving in the city, but on the highway it will be very useful, freeing the foot from the need for constant pressure on the gas pedal. I think it's indispensable long road. But with adaptive cruise control it will be convenient to drive in the village.
5. Blind spot monitoring system. Everyone has heard about dead zones, but not everyone takes them into account when maneuvering. The function will tell the driver about the danger, which he does not see.
6. Downhill assist system (hill assist system). It is usually installed on all-wheel drive vehicles. This option, first of all, will be useful to drivers with little experience. It will also help to overcome, without thinking, various obstacles to everyone else.
7. Availability of USB ports. A trifle, but nice! It is much more convenient to download and transfer your favorite music to a USB flash drive than to use the same CDs. Therefore, pay attention to the presence of this necessary nest.
8. Voice recognition system. At the initial stage, this option worked extremely poorly with all sorts of bugs, but today it is very good helper. Allows you to control the functionality of the car using voice commands.
9. The function of auto dimming mirrors. You can appreciate the usefulness of this option at night. The name speaks for itself. Don't let the light from the cars behind you blind you.
10. The so-called "winter package". Here we decided to combine several options - heated steering wheel, heated windshield and rear-view mirrors, heated seats. They will be very useful in cold weather in an unheated car, creating pleasant comfort.
Here are just a few of the possible features. In fact, there are many more of them and whether you need them or not, you will have to decide for yourself. We hope our article helped!
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the last article in the series How to buy a smart car"concepts were considered" equipment" And " option" car. In addition, it was about the most popular options that can be offered for most modern cars.
Just in case, let me remind you that each car has several trim levels, each of which can have its own set of options. This article will continue to review the most common car options, and at the very end of it will consider a list of cars from an example, from which the most suitable cars will be selected.
Gear box
Currently, there are 2 main classes of gearboxes:
1. Gears must be shifted manually;
2. There is no need to manually shift gears.
The first class includes cars with manual gearbox. Since at present most budget cars are equipped with a mechanical box, and just such cars are used for training, then almost every driver is familiar with such boxes. Unlike vehicles with second-class gearboxes, vehicles with manual transmissions require the driver to more actions (constantly you need to press the clutch pedal and shift gears).
The second class includes cars with automatic gearboxes as well as vehicles equipped with variator boxes. The difference between these two types lies in their internal structure. For the driver of the car, in general, it does not matter.
Those. regardless of whether the car is equipped with an automatic transmission or a CVT, the driver does not need to change gears. Of course, such boxes do not allow you to completely get rid of the lever located between the front seats, but its functions become minimal. In the simplest case, you just need to tell the car in which direction to go (forward or backward).
In addition, in such cars there is no clutch pedal, which allows you to drive a car without additional gestures.
In terms of cost, automatic cars are always more expensive than manual cars. However, this is perhaps the only drawback. If you have the opportunity to buy a car with automatic transmission then feel free to do so. You will not regret.
Of course, you can object to me and say that when driving a car with a manual gearbox, the driver can accelerate his car faster (due to more precise and faster gear changes), but when driving on ordinary road such a property of the manual transmission is unlikely to be useful. If we were talking about races, where the score is a fraction of a second, then of course the choice would have fallen on a manual transmission, but in urban conditions, the lack of additional controls in the car is much more important.
Light fixtures
Fog lights PTF
As one of the options for the car can be offered fog lights . Their main purpose is to create additional lighting when driving in fog or conditions. insufficient visibility.
In addition, fog lights consume less power than low beam headlights. Those. their use when driving a car during the day instead of dipped headlights can be quite justified.
Daytime Running Lights
Daily running lights may also be one of the options. Their feature is that they automatically turn on when the engine starts. At the same time, power consumption is usually less than that of fog lights.
Another possible option is to turn on the dipped headlights at the same time as the engine is turned on. Of course, it is very convenient. Let me remind you that after November 2010, all vehicles must have daytime running lights, dipped headlights or fog lights on when driving.
Type of headlight bulbs
As an option, the use of bulbs in the headlights instead of halogen ones can also be offered. Since in this case xenon lamps are used together with appropriate reflectors, no penalty can be imposed.
Electrician
Music
Music options can be offered for the car in several ways:
Audio preparation;
Installing only speakers;
Installation of speakers and radio.
First option implies the presence in the car of only wires connected to the regular place for the car radio and to the regular places for the speakers. If you have audio preparation in the car, you can easily install the car radio and speakers that you like without much difficulty.
Second option in addition to wires, it also implies the installation of speakers in regular places. Those. in this case independent work even less.
In the third option a fully working audio system is installed in the car and you do not need to install anything yourself. In this case, the third option can be divided into several more sub-options, depending on the car radio.
For example, the option in which the radio is controlled using the buttons on the steering wheel is quite interesting. It is unlikely that such an arrangement will be possible to implement on its own.
I note that even if the car does not provide audio preparation, any auto electrician will be able to install almost any audio system for you. If you wish, you can do this yourself.
Heated seats
Quite relevant for the winter time option. I don't think it's worth going into more detail here. Pressed the button - the seats began to heat up.
Heated mirrors
This option is also intended for the cold season. Install it or not, it's up to you.
From my own experience, I can say that in the city there is not too often a situation when snow falls exactly in the direction of the rear-view mirrors and covers them. I don't see any other uses for this option.
Comfort
power steering
Power steering There are several types depending on the design used: hydraulic booster, electric booster and others.
However, the essence of this option practically does not depend on the design. The amplifier allows you to turn the steering wheel with less hand effort, even if the car is stationary.
This option is certainly useful and necessary, especially for fragile ladies.
Air conditioning/climate control
Air conditioning and climate control designed for use in the warm season.
Each of these devices serves to cool the air in the cabin. At the same time, the difference between them lies in the fact that the air conditioner simply cools the air, and climate control allows you to maintain the temperature in the cabin at a certain level.
In addition, multi-zone climate control allows you to maintain different air temperatures for the driver and passengers.
Shelves/Grids/Partitions
For cars different types a variety of additional options can be offered to efficiently place things in the trunk and cabin. For example, additional niches in the front panel, special drawers under the seats, a variety of nets and shelves for the trunk can be offered as options. The acquisition of all these options again remains at your discretion.
By the way, it is impossible not to note the adjustable interior elements offered as options. For example, a car may have an adjustment driver's seat in height, adjustable steering wheel in different directions, folding backrest rear seat(in relation to 1/3 to 2/3). All these options add opportunities for interior transformation, but first you need to decide whether you need them.
Protection
Oil pan protection
Also available as an option oil pan protection. If we describe this option as simply as possible, then we can say that this is a metal sheet that protects the engine and other car systems from below from stones and bumps. Given the state highways, this option is very relevant at the present time.
moldings
moldings are elements of protection paintwork. They are attached to the car door in case your child or your mother-in-law suddenly decides to open the car door and hit it against a fence, a post or a nearby car.
In this case, the molding will take over part of the impact. Since replacing moldings is much cheaper than repainting a car door, I do not recommend refusing to use them.
Kenguryatniki
Kenguryatnik- this is a structural element of an SUV designed to protect the front of the car from branches and stones when driving off-road.
Summing up some results, I want to download that there are options that automakers are silent about both on websites and in car dealerships. Perhaps they are taken for granted by salon managers.
However, if you want to be completely sure of the availability required options, then you can simply write them off from this and the previous articles in a notebook, and then clarify the possibility of installing them by phone at a car dealership.
Considering the benefits of cars from the example
I want to point out right away that not all options, discussed in this and previous articles in the series, are offered for each of the cars in question. In addition, some vehicles may offer their own options that have not yet been copied by other manufacturers.
To begin with, I want to formulate the preliminary requirements that will apply to the selected car. Since the purchase was originally budgeted 600 000 rubles, it would be logical to expect the car to have the following options:
Front airbags;
Side airbags or curtain airbags;
Air conditioner;
Power steering.
In addition, it would be nice if the car additionally had:
Automatic gearbox.
I think that within the proposed budget it will be possible to find several cars that meet the stated requirements. I note that the cost of the car should still not be 600 thousand, but 530-550, because. it is necessary to leave funds for the subsequent registration of the car, obtaining insurance, installing an alarm, etc.
So, let's go directly to the consideration of cars.
In the future, I will determine the possibility of installing certain options using the websites of automakers that were found in the article "".
Nissan Almera Classic
This car in the PE + configuration meets almost all the requirements that were listed above. The only discrepancy is the lack of side airbags or curtain airbags.
Since I am sensitive to safety requirements, this car will most likely not be considered further.
However, if the absence of side airbags is absolutely not critical for you, then you can consider this car in the future.
Its cost with a manual transmission is 527,000 rubles.
The cost with an automatic transmission is 557,000 rubles.
This car meets all the basic and additional requirements above (except side airbags).
nissan note
Fortunately, this car has a complete set (Luxury) that meets all the basic requirements:
With a manual gearbox - 530,000 rubles.
With an automatic gearbox - 584,000 rubles.
As you can see, a car that meets both basic and additional requirements does not quite fit into the budget originally laid down. However, let's not discount it for now.
In addition, a car with a manual transmission is quite suitable.
Renault Sandero
This car, perhaps, belongs to a more budget category of vehicles than the others discussed in this article. Therefore, options such as side airbags and a system are not available for it. dynamic stabilization.
Of course, this car is a good choice in its price category, however, in our example, it fell out of place. It will not be considered further.
Renault Symbol
Unfortunately, although this car is much more expensive than the one discussed above Renault Sandero, it also cannot be equipped with either side airbags or a dynamic stabilization system.
It is removed from further consideration.
Citroen C3
Options 1.4i 75, manual transmission Tendance meets all the basic requirements listed above. The cost of the car is 543,000 rubles.
Also presented is the equipment that meets all additional requirements, but its cost is 630,000 rubles, so it will not be considered further.
Citroen Berlingo First
Unfortunately, this car is not equipped with side airbags, so we will not consider it further.
volkswagen polo sedan
For this car, side airbags (namely, they turned out to be a decisive factor in this example) are available only in maximum configuration as an additional option.
The cost of a car with a manual transmission will be 606,800 rubles.
Volkswagen Polo
As for this car, it fully complies with the above basic requirements. At the same time, its cost will be - 519,350 rubles.
A car with an automatic transmission (but without a dynamic stabilization system) will cost 617,350 rubles.
- Note - 530,000 rubles. (manual transmission)
- Note - 584,000 rubles. (automatic transmission)
- C3 - 543,000 rubles. (manual transmission)
- Polo sedan - 606,800 rubles. (manual transmission)
- Polo - 519 350 rubles. (manual transmission)
As you can see, with each stage, our list is getting smaller and smaller. fewer cars(from 14 original models, only 4 models of 3 brands remain).
Of course, if you impose other requirements on the car, then the list will turn out to be completely different. So after reading this article, you can make your own list of necessary options and, in accordance with it, determine your own group of suitable cars.
In the next article in the series How to buy a smart car"we'll talk about how you can identify flaws specific model car before buying it.
Good luck on the roads!
Series of articles "How to buy a car wisely"
When buying a new vehicle, buyers most often doubt about the various options, they do not know whether they should be bought or can be dispensed with, there are even motorists who do not know exactly what this or that option is for.
Probably, it makes no sense to explain anything about setting options such as power windows, airbags and power steering. People who have anything to do with cars, must have at least general idea about the most common options. Therefore, we can focus on the most difficult aspects.
From the very beginning, you should decide on the choice of the type of engine: gasoline or diesel. Speaking in in general terms It can be noted that diesel power units from gasoline engines differ primarily in increased power and efficiency. It is for this simple reason that large-sized cars are mainly produced with diesel engines. But even despite these advantages, we must not forget that diesel fuel is now usually classified into different categories, which directly depend on temperature. environment. Such power units need to change the type of fuel depending on the weather. Of course, now there are special defrosting antigels, but they require increased attention to own car And additional funds. Today, the prices for diesel fuel at some gas stations have even begun to exceed the prices for AI-95 fuel. Definitely a purchase diesel car will cost more and may include a sports package. Therefore, if you need to think as little as possible about your car and you do not need excessive power, then it is better to buy a gasoline car.
Now let's move on to the options themselves. What is the difference between a climate control system and an air conditioner? Today, the vast majority of passenger vehicles already have air conditioning in the basic version, while the buyer has to pay extra for installing climate control. A natural question arises - why? The air conditioner in the vehicle, oddly enough, performs its main function - it slightly dries and cools the air. As for the climate control system, it belongs to the premium class options and is able to automatically maintain the temperature set at the same level, due to all this, the price of such an option is appropriate. So which is better: comfort or economy? In any case, the buyer has to decide, and he must determine what is more preferable for him.
Today, airbags have become more common, and although they are simple, buyers are still offered a choice: head, knee, side, front. If the buyer of the vehicle approaches this issue more rationally, then the most good option there will be the installation of front and side airbags, because such a combination can protect the passengers of the front and rear seats, as well as the driver from strong blows during an accident.
Light and rain sensors have become one of the most common options at the present time. They are needed for automatic execution their main function, if we are talking about rain sensors, they automatically force the wiper blades to clean the glass during rain, and the brushes are triggered by the degree of glass wetting: the more it is moistened, the more often they work. Light sensors are triggered when it gets dark, for example, if you drive into a tunnel, they automatically turn on the dipped beam.
The cruise control option is needed to automatically maintain the speed set by the driver, that is, while driving, the driver does not need to constantly press the gas pedal. This option becomes indispensable in cases where you often move along a free road to long distances. If you most often drive on busy roads, then you can look at such an option as adaptive cruise control, equipped with a variety of sensors, it allows you not only to automatically maintain the selected speed, but also to brake and accelerate, taking into account the maneuvers and positions of other cars participating in movement. With this option, the driver's job is only to turn the steering wheel. But at the present time this option is still widespread not received and it can be found on a small number of passenger vehicles.
Such an option as parking sensors or parking sensors needs no introduction, but drivers have to get used to it, just like most other options.
As for the rear view camera, then, probably, many have heard: “You can’t see anything in it at all! Therefore, it is better to park in the old way, turning back. Most motorists who have been driving this way for a long time succumb to all kinds of criticism of such modern options, but at the same time, drivers with little driving experience are delighted with them.
The dynamic stabilization system includes anti-slip, anti-lock and other subsystems that allow the car to stay on the selected trajectory. Many experts say that this system is never superfluous, as it is another element that can provide the necessary level of security.
Undoubtedly, such an option as additional running lights helps to create additional lighting on the road. But if you turn them on in low visibility conditions in dark time days and in tunnels instead of low beam, you will not be able to escape the fine.
Many car owners call headlight washers a completely useless option, and the reason for this is that they simply pour water on the headlights. But during such a process, the dirt is not cleaned off mechanically.
An option that makes life easier not only for the driver himself, but also for the passenger is the electric seat drive due to convenient transformation. More comfort for drivers and passengers is provided by seat ventilation, especially long trips by car.
A little more comfort in the life of motorists can bring heated seats and mirrors. The dimming rear-view mirror option allows the driver not to be annoyed by the glare of the headlights of the vehicle behind them.
In the end, the term “immobilizer”, which is not too clear for all motorists, should be deciphered - this is an internal anti-theft system, which is additional element conventional alarm. This option has already proven itself quite well on many vehicles and is already considered to be quite common.
As for such alarms, they can be of several types: feedback(with a color display, GSM-module, auto-start of the motor) and one-sided. Of course, it is desirable to give preference to car alarms with a GSM module, since they have one significant plus - an unlimited range. In principle, you can get by with one immobilizer, but many insurers oblige car owners to install an alarm, especially for CASCO insurance. As for the experts, they advise installing it, especially in cases where you buy an expensive car.
In conclusion, it can be noted that not every option listed here is equally suitable for one or another performance - from standard to top-end, but if you order a car individually, then all your ideas and wishes can become a reality.
Automakers every year increase the pace of car production, expand lineups looking for new technologies. With the increase in demand for cars, the car park. But not only the number of vehicles on the roads is increasing, but also all sorts of various lotions are increasing. Automakers, increasing car options for a particular model, thereby expanding the price range. The more different options dealers can offer, the more diverse the types of vehicle equipment and prices for it.
What you can do without in the car:
In magazines on the Internet with the increase in automotive equipment and options, articles began to appear about various gadgets, gadgets, and so on. There were discussions, ratings - the most useless options auto. And we will conduct an independent investigation, and put everything on the shelves.
Equipment
A complete set is the equipment of a vehicle with certain options, depending on the price and what the manufacturer can offer in order to satisfy the wishes of the client for his opportunity to purchase the manufactured product. That is, they offer a complete set for the amount that can be laid out.
The minimum package includes only the most necessary for safety, cheap, instead of a full-size spare wheel - a stowaway and much more. Some automakers in minimum configuration do not even paint the rear-view mirrors in the color of the car body. With an increase in the price category, car options begin to increase, ashtrays appear, more powerful engines, more chrome parts appear in the interior and exterior.
Types of vehicle configuration also differ in names. it is economy, comfort. Medium configuration - standard, family, intensive. In the maximum configuration - sport, ultimate, high-tech. Each manufacturer names a car according to its configuration, and almost always decides for itself what car options will be present in a particular configuration.
At dealerships, you can order additional options for cars that you want, for additional fee. It can be cruise control, and a tow hitch, and the hands-free function when talking on the phone, and so on, it all depends on your capabilities. You can buy a car lowest cost, but then at the dealer, or at another car service, he will install additional options.
The most useless car options for Russia
Let us now consider the car options that automakers offer in their configurations, each separately, which are useless for our conditions.
Let's start with the first - the light sensor. In our country, we must always move with the dipped headlights on. The sensor starts working and automatically turns on the head light when it comes on the street, and during the day it is useless, unless, of course, you covered it with something, or you only drive at night. The only use of this sensor is in areas with polar night, the regions of the far north. There, in the polar night, turn on the auto mode on lighting fixtures and the light turns on automatically, this time of year lasts about three months. For the rest of the year, the light sensor is a useless gadget, which is not worth spending your finances on.
In Russia, a light sensor on a car is a waste of money
Rear view mirror with compass - what is the compass for? In America, lately, people are just delighted with this option. They probably don't have signs there, and they navigate by parts of the world. We have a Russian person and does not look at road signs, not to mention the compass built into the rear-view mirror. Hunters and fishermen don’t need it either, and off-road jeep travelers probably won’t need it either. There are signs on the roads, they are installed in cars. If we are going somewhere in nature, then we lay the path on the map and navigator. Why do we need a compass - is unknown.
Well, they are also necessary for a drunk driver behind the wheel, but whether a sane person in such a state will sit behind the wheel - probably not.
Coin compartment. For what? one kopeck, five kopecks? And what can you buy with these pennies in our country? To pay for travel on toll roads, penny coins are not enough here. Our cost will be much higher than even ten rubles, when they work in full toll roads. So manufacturers producing their products for Russia need to think carefully about what size the coin compartment should be and where to place it.
An ashtray may or may not be installed in the cabin. If you need it, buy it. Yes, a non-smoking driver in the cabin is an extra attribute, and those who smoke, but not in the cabin, but outside the car, also do not need it. It turns out that is also an extra and unnecessary option. But for a resourceful driver, the ashtray can be a place to store fuses, the same coins, it's bigger than the coin compartment and has a lid. You can store various trifles in it, toothpicks, and ladies can store a small lipstick there. You can’t call this option for a car completely useless.
An ashtray is useful for smokers, but an unnecessary option for non-smokers.
Before buying a car - choose the equipment you need
Vehicle options, to some extent related to the protection and cleaning of machine parts, provide to some extent the protection of your life and health, and to refuse airbags, crankcase protection, permitted kenguryatnik and other options is, of course, everyone's business. But given the growing car park in our country, rudeness on the roads and the lack of any respect of drivers for each other, you should not spare money for installing additional options. Therefore, each of us decides for himself which option is useful to him and which is useless, what to spend money on, what not. As always, the choice in making a decision is yours.
