Reliability. Resilience. Security. Dynamism. Respect on the road Relative cost of spare parts. Fuel consumption. Weak brakes. I owned this car for 2.5 years, from 2009 to 2012. I took it with a mileage of about 37000 km. The machine had a difficult fate, stood a lot, real mileage. Sold with mileage 90000km. I'll try to be brief, but to the point. I did not experience any problems from long standing. The only thing I had to replace the brake discs with pads in a circle, well, change all the technical liquids. Of the rubber bands, only the front axle seal leaked. All spare parts are quite affordable, there are urgently but expensive, there are in a week, but 2 times cheaper. Who likes what. During the operation, I once went on a tow truck - the fu 2004 ford explorer el pump failed. Once it did not start - during the holidays the battery died, completely died. There were no more problems. Suspension went through somewhere 70000km., Front upper arms and lower ball joints. The car is heavy, the brakes are clearly not for him, the front brake pads were enough for 10-15 t.km, the rear ones with new discs for 20-30 t.km. Well, maybe I just liked to slow down :) The braking dynamics are quite decent, there were no overheatings or failures, but the discs and pads wear out very quickly. There are no problems with spare parts and service. Cross-country ability: off-road package of this car - ground clearance, frame, lowering, four-wheel drive, rear axle with LSD. This does not mean at all that this is a UAZ. It is better to pass any obstacle on the move, when stopping in a difficult place, it simply pushes through the weight of the coating and it simply does not move. Well, diagonal hanging on a car without Advanstrak can lead to delay. Track: this is his element, despite the external dimensions and ground clearance. Excellent directional stability, sharp steering, lack of floating and insensitivity to rutting (on the standard wheel size). Well, this feeling when you kind of press the gas pedal down a little, and the V8 engine shoots a car weighing 2.5 tons forward, presses you into a chair, injecting adrenaline into the blood, giving a feeling of superiority and delight. Let the owners of V8 corners not be offended, but they are inferior in terms of dynamics. In my case, there was a limited equipment, a leather interior with 7 seats. The skin is of course mediocre, but an order of magnitude better than on the Mavericks. The sides of the seats are made of leatherette, so the side of the driver's seat is already cracking by 30,000 km. The interior is comfortable, roomy, there were 8 adult bodies sitting and it didn’t buzz :) True, with the 3rd row unfolded, there is almost no trunk. On the dynamics and controllability, the load does not change significantly. The main question is always fuel consumption. I will say this: highway from 11 to 21, city from 17 to 32. The fork is very serious and depends heavily on driving style, speed limit and road conditions. The average consumption in the summer with kondeem track-city 60na40 was 17.5 liters. If you hope that you will buy such a car and will only overtake snowdrop grandmothers, then the lower bar is for you. In general, for such a unit, fuel consumption is very good, if they tell you that the Japanese have less, then this is not about fuel consumption :) I was very pleased with the quality of the metal, it is really iron. Well, frame of course. Automatic 5-speed, a little thoughtful, you have to get used to it and everything will be fine. Change the oil every 60 t.km. and he will walk for a long time. Of course, it is better to take the V8 engine, it is less capricious and cheaper to operate, while being more dynamic. Fuel consumption does not differ much. I summarize: a great car for everyday use and for travel, on the road "respected", very reliable, in the middle price range for service staff. Hello everyone. Not every service has an inch tool and repair experience due to the small number of calls. Great car for the money it's worth. Operated personally for 5 years. 1. Practical - the volume of the trunk with the rear rows folded down is comparable to the interior of a bead. 2 times I moved from apartment to apartment to transport things GAZelka was not required.
