In the life of every person there comes a moment when spending 2-3 hours a day in crowded public transport becomes not just tiring, but unbearable. That's when the thought of buying your own car comes. But somehow you don’t really want to buy a used one, and you don’t always have money for a new one. It is for this purpose that automakers around the world produce inexpensive cars designed to provide a person with comfort for relatively little money.

Manufacturers of passenger cars, creating a segment of affordable cars, resort to various methods: they copy what was previously created by others, use inexpensive materials from recycled raw materials, and reduce basic equipment to a minimum. Sometimes such measures affect not only the level of comfort, but also safety, however, in all honesty, most of those who travel daily by metro, trolleybus or minibus will gladly prefer inexpensive cars to urban transport. How justified is such a move?

We'll take a look at some of the low cost cars that are leading the way today.the corresponding ratings are therefore popular in their class.

Daewoo Matiz

The undisputed leader in the price offer on the domestic market. Easy to drive, compact, unpretentious car has long and firmly gained popularity in the countries of the former CIS. Due to its small size and ease of parking, it can also be successfully classified as “inexpensive cars for girls”. By the way, it is among the weaker sex that it is most often in demand as the first car. Depending on the configuration, Matiz will cost its future owner from $7,000 to $10,000. An analogue of Chinese production QQ will cost somewhat cheaper - up to $ 8 thousand.

Renault Logan

European car, which is quite common on domestic roads. This is a joint brainchild of French and Romanian masters; the car was developed as a budget car with a modern design. With a certain stretch, this idea was a success, and the car may well share the fate of its popular predecessor, the Renault Clio. Speaking about the availability of this car, we, first of all, have in mind its basic configuration. A European car is a priori more attractive than a Chinese one, however, for the same money, craftsmen from the Middle Kingdom are ready to install air conditioning, power windows and other functionality in a car. We'll have to choose what to donate.

Chevrolet Lanos

The result of cooperation between specialists"AvtoZAZ" and the concern Chevrolet - a car that combines comfort and elegance at a reasonable price. Of course, Lanos still falls short of the “inexpensive sports car” category, but in conditions of high-quality road surface, it is ready to demonstrate decent acceleration dynamics and maneuverability. For good functionality, increased safety and a stylish exterior, Chevrolet Lanos buyers will have to pay $ 10-11 thousand - relatively little for such a combination. Like other inexpensive cars, Chevrolet Lanos has a relatively low fuel consumption, which is a defining characteristic for a city car. In addition, this is perhaps the best combination of price and quality.
