- transmission lever cover;
- cabin steps;
- top of dashboard;
- motor shield near the holes for the pedals;
- steering shaft
All these places are covered with sound insulation, which helps reduce the noise level in the cabin. The van itself should also be covered with sound insulation.

Gazelle vans and foreign versions are also different. For foreigners, it is a little larger in volume that can be loaded, and therefore larger. Having considered the qualities of the models and comparing them, everything will become clear immediately.
Ford Transit or GAZ Sobol
The issue of purchasing a Ford Transit or Gas Sobol for 200 thousand Russian rubles is often discussed. This is a very difficult question. The purchase amount is small. Many people express the opinion that it is better to buy Sable. It is impossible to buy transit for that kind of money in good condition.
Sable has unsurpassed qualities:
- easy to repair;
- availability of spare parts.
Ford is not capable of this. If the turbine at Transit breaks down, you will have to pay about 120 thousand rubles for just one turbine.
Ducato or Sable
Now the choice is between the Gazelle Sable and the Fiat Ducato. The Fiat Ducato is better in quality and characteristics than the Sobol, but slightly worse than other foreigners.
When comparing service prices, Fiat is inferior to Gazelle by a small margin. All this is because this model has been assembled in the Russian Federation since 2006. The bulk of spare parts appeared on the shelves of auto stores. Many craftsmen began to master this model for its repair. And repairing the Ducato became less expensive. 
Price remains the main priority. Here Gazelle remains the leader. Behind it comes a Fiat, which you need to look for in good condition. Next will be models of more prestigious and expensive car brands. If you need an inexpensive and long-lasting model, then Sobol will fully cope with these requirements.
