The daily route of most of us does not change over the years: home - kindergarten, home - school. As a rule, these cabotages are carried out by the father of the family, and yet he still needs to keep up with work. Do not forget about musical and sports institutions for children, whose accessibility is always far from being step-by-step. That is why the family council decides: to urgently have another driver in the house! With a car. Reader's mail says (and writes) about the same.
The whole question is how not to make a mistake when choosing an iron "humpbacked horse". The cost of the upcoming operation of board number 2 should be minimized, which is why most readers have allocated a very modest budget for this business - no more than 300, 000 rubles. As the "approximate" family were the spouses Vinogradov. Mom Yekaterina just needs a small personal car to transport two children to schools and kindergartens - the Korean man’s SUV is too big for her and not always available.
ELECTION DAY
Traditionally, the second helmsman in the family is mom. Her driver’s workshop is usually zero, and only with the acquisition of her own wheels does it appear that she will know the city as well as the contents of her own cosmetic bag. The second car will be the first for her, therefore, the dimensions of the future vehicle are rather modest (for mega-purchases in the market and super-transfers to the dacha, the family already has dad's “tank”).
Engine power was limited to a hundred "horses" (maybe less): we save on fuel consumption, maintenance and transport tax. Of course, an automatic transmission would come in handy, but you won’t get it for this money. And then, our wives gave up on the right, violently trampling the clutch pedal of the training "five", so that the "pen" is not an obstacle. The main thing is to have air conditioning, power steering and central locking.
First of all, we turned to a domestic manufacturer.
"Lada Kalina" - 328 100 rubles
"Lada Kalina" - 328 100 rubles. "Lada Kalina" - 328 100 rubles.
"Lada-Kalina" is a pretty five-door with an adult appearance and a modern 1.4-liter engine. The color scheme is good, in addition, the price starts from 276, 900 rubles. But it will be, in fact, a bare car. Air conditioning, as well as anti-lock braking system, appears only in a complete set for 328 100 rubles. A version with airbags, climate and navigation would completely undermine our budget. Sorry …
In addition to Russian cars, there are also those who have recently settled in our country.
"Lifan Breeze" - 354, 900 rubles
"Lifan Breeze" - 354, 900 rubles. "Lifan Breeze" - 354, 900 rubles.
Say the Chinese "Lifan Breeze." Gather it in Cherkessk. Modest, like most classmates, a 1.3-liter engine produces 89 forces. Even in the initial configuration there are airbags and air conditioning, but on the price tag - 315, 000. Calling dealers showed that you will not see such copies alive, they are found only in price lists. But somehow we did not want to give 354, 900 rubles for the super-Lifan.
Okay, let's go through the old turnouts.
ZAZ-Chance - 354, 000 rubles
ZAZ-Chance - 354, 000 rubles. ZAZ-Chance - 354, 000 rubles.
Here is the ZAZ-Chance. This car was called “Daewoo” and the name “Lanos” in girlhood, and then it was called “Chevrolet”. Having changed citizenship and homeland, it is now sold with a hatchback with us, which was not the case before. Starting price - 265, 000 rubles for a 70-horsepower engine of 1.3 liters. (However, air conditioning is only available at 308, 000 on the price tag.) Not bad, but for such a machine, the “herd” is frankly small. A car in a similar configuration with a faster, 86-horsepower 1.5-liter engine costs 354, 000 rubles. Yes…
Actually, all these cars are suitable for the role of a second violin only with a stretch. And the point here is not so much in price as in size. We would like something miniature.
Kia Picanto - 364, 900 rubles
Kia Picanto - 364, 900 rubles. Kia Picanto - 364, 900 rubles.
Here, for example, "KIA-Picanto." The car is nimble, pretty, there are even daytime running lights and heated seats, and the liter engine in the combined cycle consumes a little more than 4 liters per hundred. However, the price spoiled everything: they asked for 364, 900 rubles for a handsome man! This foreign car.
And if you take the Renault Sandero?
Renault Sandero - 411, 000 rubles
Renault Sandero - 411, 000 rubles. Renault Sandero - 411, 000 rubles.
Given the general high cost, Moscow Renault is not so expensive against the general background - 339, 000 rubles. However, the uninteresting version costs so much, and with air conditioning and a power steering, 411, 000 will come out. In addition, such a car will have to wait a couple of months, since usually only the most expensive equipment is available.
It turns out that there are no options for 300, 000 rubles at all? Do not rush to be upset. At about the twentieth minute of the brainstorming, one of us remembered that for a long time he had a Daewoo Matiz in his family. Why was it? They are! I mean it is sold to this day. In addition to the familiar version with a three-cylinder engine, they now offer a very decent liter, which gives out 64 forces. And, most importantly, the version we need is only 297, 000 rubles. Take it!

BETTER NEW
Yes, an old friend is still better than new ones. Recently, the Matiz has become prettier. In addition to a decent liter engine, he received new lights and other head optics. Luxury versions flaunt cast wheels, rails and a built-in Kenwood radio with remote control.
Do you know how much the most ruinous, fourth MOT costs at a mileage of 30, 000 km? Sit upright - 3900 pe with consumables! Finally, the main thing: the car is participating in an experiment to stimulate Muscovites to acquire new minicars. This means that when you buy a new Matiz, its owner will receive a fuel card with a face value of 24, 000 rubles in the traffic police. It is enough to fill 889 liters of gasoline. And when you consider that a car with a four-cylinder engine consumes an average of no more than 6 liters per hundred …

For the reader’s test, they took the “Best” version. It costs 306, 000 rubles, but we deliberately went to this overpayment. While traveling to meet with Catherine, we tested the car on the go ourselves. Minimum devices, but everything is clear. Dimensions are felt just amazing. They rode around the city with the whole stream of the nostril into the nostril. At the gas station, we filled gas in the tank for 500 rubles, and the arrow of the fuel gauge almost ran up to the maximum - nice!
Since the look of the car is very toy-like, they bought balloons for the daughters of Ekaterina and tied them to the rails. In such a smart look, the reader saw us. After a brief briefing about the features of the car, we parted with Katya for three days, leaving her alone to remember how to drive the car (“You know, I haven’t practiced for a long time, you go, otherwise I’ll be shy …”).

After three days, Catherine, along with her husband famously taxied to the publisher. “The full-scale tests were passed on a solid five,” the family crew reported. During this time, a certain number of packets of food were transported from the supermarket, the route home - grandmother - the house was worked out with a bang.
While the car was visiting the Vinogradov family, she was awarded her own name - Panda! Actually, the car is really a bit like this bamboo bear, especially in body color and the shape of the head lighting.

The best part is that you can afford to contain this “animal”, summed up the head of the family Oleg. And although he is an ardent supporter of all-wheel drive, the small front-wheel drive Matiz with its 15 cm ground clearance is one hundred percent suitable for urban use.
“And the main thing is a new car; we didn’t expect that for 300 thousand you can buy such a handsome man,”the spouses summed up. By the way, the color for the future second-first car was also chosen white. Pandas are not different.
