Russian SUV UAZ Hunter who replaced cult models UAZ-469/3151, entered mass production at the facilities of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant on November 19, 2003, after which it entered the market almost immediately. Car continued glorious traditions their legendary ancestors, having won honor and respect among the most diverse segments of the population, and for their life cycle updated several times. The latest upgrade to date affected the Hunter in February 2016, but it was limited only to the appearance of new security systems - Isofix mounts on the back sofa, an indicator for an unfastened driver's seat belt and a three-point belt for the middle passenger of the "gallery".
In the appearance of the UAZ Hunter Classic, a military bearing is instantly traced - the SUV looks absolutely brutal and archaic, from whatever angle you look. The purely utilitarian five-door body of the car is completely devoid of streamlining, but with all its appearance it demonstrates its readiness to conquer any off-road conditions - a simple front end with round optics and a flat hood, “pumped up” sidewalls with a tall roof and huge wheel arches, as well as a monumental stern with a suspended “reserve” and compact lamps.
The overall length of the Hunter is 4100 mm, of which the wheelbase is 2380 mm, the width does not exceed 2010 mm (excluding side mirrors - 1730 mm), and the height is 2025 mm with a 210 mm clearance under the "belly". In the "combat" form, the car weighs 1845 kg, and its full mass slightly exceeds 2.5 tons.
The interior of the Ulyanovsk SUV is extremely ascetic and unremarkable to match its utilitarian essence. There is not even a question of any entertainment possibilities here - all instrument indicators on the front panel are exclusively analog, and the usual “stove”, light and other functions are controlled by means of large buttons. Do not get out of the general concept and large steering wheel, and "clumsy" finishing materials.
The interior of the UAZ Hunter is designed to accommodate five people: the front riders are allocated amorphous seats, devoid of even a hint of lateral support, with a minimum number of adjustments, and the rear passengers do not live better because of the shapeless sofa, although they are offered enough space.
The cargo compartment of the UAZ Hunter Classic in its standard form holds 1130 liters of luggage, and with the second row of seats folded in a ratio of 60:40 - 2564 liters. But the “hold” is not separated from the passenger cabin in any way, but it has a wide opening and a rather convenient shape.
Specifications.
"Hunter" is equipped with only one gasoline engine - this is an in-line four-cylinder atmospheric unit ZMZ-409.10 with a displacement of 2.7 liters (2693 cubic centimeters), "sharpened" for fuel with an octane rating of at least "92", which is equipped with distributed power technology and 16- valve timing. Its max recoil is 128 Horse power at 4600 rpm and 210 Nm of torque already available at 2500 rpm.
Together with the motor, a 5-speed mechanical box gears and a hard-wired all-wheel drive of the "part-time" type with a 2-stage "razdatka" and a lowering row.
The Ulyanovsk SUV was equipped with in-line turbodiesel "fours":
- Initially, the Polish 8-valve Andoria unit with a volume of 2.4 liters was offered for the car, generating 86 “horses” at 4000 rpm and 183 Nm of peak thrust at 1800 rpm.
- In 2005, it was replaced by the domestic 2.2-liter ZMZ-51432 engine with a 16-valve timing, developing 114 forces at 3500 rpm and 270 Nm at 1800-2800 rpm.
- And finally, the Chinese version of the 2.2-liter F-Diesel 4JB1T was installed on the Hunter, the output of which is 92 horsepower at 3600 rpm and 200 Nm at 2000 rpm.
UAZ Hunter can move in three modes: 2H - the thrust reserve in full goes to rear wheels; 4H - the moment is divided between the axes in a ratio of 50:50; 4L - four-wheel drive and a low range of gears for maximum traction (designed for heavy off-road).
On asphalt surfaces, the Hunter feels like a stranger - its top speed does not exceed 130 km / h, and acceleration to the first "hundred" takes "eternal" 35 seconds. Yes, and an SUV eats “for two” - the average fuel consumption on a suburban highway is 13.2 liters for every 100 km in combined mode (the Ulyanovsk automaker does not disclose figures for other cycles).
But outside of hard roads, the car is in its element - it is able to overcome water obstacles up to 500 mm deep, and its approach and departure angles are 30 and 33 degrees, respectively.
UAZ Hunter Classic is based on a strong ladder-type frame, to which an all-metal body and power point in a longitudinal position. Both front and rear, the SUV is equipped with continuous axles. In the first case, a spring structure with a pair of trailing arms, a transverse link and a stabilizer is used, and in the second case, several longitudinal semi-elliptical leaf springs are used.
By default in steering system The machine has an integrated hydraulic control booster, and its braking complex is expressed by front disc mechanisms with two-piston calipers and rear drum devices.
Options and prices. On the Russian market The "classic" UAZ Hunter in 2016 is sold at a price of 589,000 rubles.
The standard equipment of the Ulyanovsk SUV implies the presence of front and rear seat belts, 16-inch steel discs with tires size 225/75/R16, power steering, cigarette lighter, seat trim with washable cloth and headlight hydrocorrector.
For a surcharge, the car can be "put" on wheels with light-alloy "skating rinks" and painted in metallic color.
Did the creators of the UAZ 469 think that their car would become a legend in the Soviet automobile industry? Most likely, they are unlikely, because when creating the Soviet all-terrain vehicle, the developers thought about high cross-country ability, maintainability, low cost, simplicity of design and reliability, and what place their car would take in history was not so important, the main thing is that the car meets the needs of the army as much as possible. Still UAZ is one of the symbols Soviet Union and thanks to the efforts of designers, one of the best in terms of cross-country serial all-terrain vehicles in the world. The production of the UAZ 469 was started back in 1972, in 2003 the production of a modernized UAZ began at the Ulyanovsk Automobile Assembly Plant, the car was named Hunter , which translates from English as a hunter. Assembly UAZ Hunter carried out not only in Ulyanovsk, but also in the Ukrainian city - Kremenchug. In this article, we will pay attention to the innovations of Ulyanovsk that were implemented in the Hunter, we will pay attention to the technical characteristics UAZ Hunter , as well as general overview body and interior.
Appearance and body:
Like UAZ 469, UAZ Hunter is available in a five-door body, the roof can be hard - metal, or soft - awning. UAZ Hunter can be easily distinguished from the 469th model by plastic bumpers with built-in foglights. The front is decorated with a plastic overlay, please note 
attention to the photo of the front of the UAZ.
When reviewing the UAZ from behind, you will find that spare wheel in Hunter it is mounted on the fifth door, and the tailgate itself is now one and, unlike the 469th, the door is one-piece and opens to the side, and does not consist of two parts. Due to the above-described plastic bumpers that UAZ installed in order to reduce the likelihood of a pedestrian getting injured when hit, and also because of a modified exhaust system entry and exit angles have been significantly reduced. Injection 
entry UAZ Hunter is - 30 degrees, and the departure angle is 33 degrees, which is less than that of latest generation. New UAZ stands on wheels with a larger diameter than its predecessor, UAZ tire size Hunter - 225/75 R16. When buying, a hunter can be retrofitted with alloy wheels, and the future owner can buy a UAZ painted in metallic, previously it was something from the category of science fiction.
Salon and Equipment:
How to get into the salon UAZ- This is not an easy task for everyone. The body remained the same, and, accordingly, the narrow doorways did not become wider. When landing behind the wheel, you can grab onto the steering wheel itself, and when seated in the front passenger seat, you can take on a special 
handle located in the torpedo. UAZ instrument cluster Hunter in general, it has not changed, but the torpedo now has a plastic sheathing, the plastic is hard and cheap, but this is a significant step towards increasing comfort. Appearance torpedoes you can evaluate in the photo. Reading the speedometer readings, as before, is not convenient, the fact is that the right steering wheel spoke almost always overlaps the speedometer. On UAZ Huntera cigarette lighter appeared, which was not on the 469th, it would be nice to have an ashtray, but the men driving such an all-terrain vehicle will be able to do without it. Swivel windows, as on the model 469, are also a thing of the past, now side windows shift to the side. The downside is that in winter, when the guides can leak with melt water and freeze, one day the glass may not open. Why open glass in winter? Suppose the stove broke, the windows fogged up and began to freeze - visibility is deteriorating, in a car like UAZ, which is designed for extreme conditions, the issue of interior ventilation is extremely important. The downside in comparison with the 469th is also the fact that the glass in the tailgate has become smaller, which means that rear visibility has deteriorated, but there is a janitor on the same glass. A huge ergonomic breakthrough was the appearance of one lever to control the transfer case and the inclusion of all-wheel drive earlier in the UAZ 469 there were two levers. wheels. The steering wheel in the UAZ has no adjustments at all, but the driver's seat is adjustable not only in standard planes: the backrest angle and longitudinal adjustment, but the degree of lumbar support can also be adjusted. UAZ brake pedalHunter is 8 cm higher than the gas pedal, in general, the driver who sat in UAZ after a passenger car, it will not be too easy to figure out the controls. What is the scheme for switching the old Arzamasovskaya gearbox, in which the rear one is switched on like on a normal car, the second one - this scheme is very convenient on difficult off-road conditions, when you need to quickly switch from first to rear and vice versa to loosen the car, but if on the go insteadthe second turn on the back - the sound will not be pleasant. The headlight hydrocorrector allows you to adjust the beam of headlights from the passenger compartment, it is very convenient when the trunk is loaded and the front part rises, while the headlights blind oncoming cars. A positive shift can be considered the ability to adjust the angle of the backrest rear seats, as well as the ability to quickly dismantle the second row. If desired, the future owner can buy a Hunter with two additional seats located on the sides in the trunk. Payload UAZ Hunter - 750kg. UAZ trunk volume - 210 liters.
Technical part and characteristics of UAZ Hunter
Today on UAZ Hunter installed Gas engine ZMZ 409 and diesel ZMZ 5143. ZMZ 409 is equipped with fuel injection, the UAZ engine capacity is 2.7 liters. The sixteen-valve cylinder head helps develop a maximum of 128 horsepower, maximum torque of 216N.M is achieved at 3000 rpm. With such an engine, UAZ is able to develop 130 kilometers per hour on the highway. Previously, a 2.5-liter carburetor gasoline engine was available,the UAZ carburetor unit produces 189N.M of torque, the maximum torque is available at 2500 rpm, the power of the carburetor unit is modest - 84 horsepower. The ZMZ 5143 diesel engine is good because Idling even uphill UAZ rises without pressing the gas pedal, in general, diesel UAZ less fast, but the difference in driving on an empty and loaded car is not felt as much as in the petrol version. Diesel unit volume UAZ-2.3 liters, power - 96hp, and more torque than on the gasoline ZMZ 409 2.7 - 216N.M at 2,100 rpm. Earlier on UAZ Hunter a diesel engine of Polish origin was installed, but today Ulyanovsk is installing its own diesel engine, which surpasses the imported unit in terms of performance. Home couple in diesel UAZs the shorter one is 4.625, while in petrol hunters the main pair is 4.11. UAZ Hunter in addition to the above-described Arzamas box, it can be equipped with a new five-speed Korean-made box, this box is already known from , the gears on it are switched on easier, and the switching scheme itself is traditional. First transfer to Korean box quite short, but on the second UAZ capable of accelerating to almost 80 km. Unlike the UAZ 469, the hunter is equipped with a spring suspension in front and a small leaf rear suspension, the work done on the suspension made it possible to significantly reduce the “goatiness” of the car.

Price
Buy a new one today UAZ Hunter You can not in every city of the former CIS. Price UAZ Hunter with a motor ZMZ 409, which includes: metallic paint, footboards, alloy wheels — $13,500. The price of a diesel UAZ is higher - $15,900.
Conclusion:
Of course, UAZ cannot be compared in comfort with and will not pass the turn with grace bmw, but this is one of the most passable cars in the world, exactly what you need for long-distance sorties, where there are no people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. After the transformation of the 469th into hunter, the car remained utilitarian, but still acquired some attributes of convenience.
UAZ Hunter is the same famous "goat", a living classic of the Soviet automobile industry. This is, in fact, the UAZ-469, which has been on the assembly line since the distant 1972. As for, in fact, the “hunter”, a car with that name has been produced since 2003, however, with interruptions.
The progenitor itself, the UAZ-469, was originally created as an army vehicle. What does this mean, which means that the comfort for the driver was the last priority for the designers, the cross-country ability, maintainability and reliability were much higher. As it turned out, these qualities are important not only for the military, but also for hunters, fishermen and other lovers of wildlife and recreation away from cities and from asphalt roads.
Important! Hunter is a successful attempt to adapt the army jeep to civilian needs as much as possible.
Appearance
Outwardly, you will not immediately find the difference between a civilian Hunter and his military ancestor. First of all, this is a hard, metal top of the car, while army off-road vehicles were covered with a tarpaulin kung.
Other differences include more modern door handles. Also somewhat updated wheel disks and, of course, the color of the car with modern paints. Particularly metallic.
Actually, this is all the differences, otherwise it is still the “Goat” of 45 years ago.
Interior
Inside, the Hunter is deliberately brutal, although there are still more differences from the army vehicle in the interior than on the outside.
The main difference is the very presence of the front panel. The army jeep simply did not have it.
True, the panel is more than simple, without any design frills. Another important difference is the presence of more or less comfortable seats with armrests. But this is not the main thing for the Ulyanovsk SUV, all the most important things are under the hood. And they buy the Hunter not for appearance, but for the characteristics of the UAZ Hunter.
Engines
For the Ulyanovsk SUV, two engines are provided:
- Petrol 4-cylinder engine. Volume 2.7 liters ZMZ 409;
- Diesel 4-cylinder engine. Volume 2.3 liters ZMZ 5143.
The petrol engine is equipped with direct fuel injection (injector). It has 4 valves per cylinder and an overhead gas distribution mechanism. With these modern technical systems, it develops a power of 128 hp. with. and a torque of 216 N.m at 3000 rpm.
With this power unit, Hunter reaches a top speed of 130 km/h. Naturally, with such a solid volume, the fuel consumption of the UAZ Hunter is 13.2 liters per 100 km. This is the so-called average cost. When driving off-road, it is naturally noticeably larger.
Engine ZMZ 409
Concerning diesel engine, then its power is somewhat less, only 96 hp. with. The moment is the same as that of a gasoline engine - 216 N. m, however, it is achieved at 2100 rpm and this allows the “goat” to go uphill without pressing the gas pedal. The maximum speed, of course, for a diesel UAZ is somewhat less than that of a gasoline one, somewhere a little less than a hundred. But racing on the highway is not Hunter's element, his element is off-road, that's it diesel version show all his virtues.
By the way, usually the owners of diesel "goats" quite confidently keep the speed of 90 km / h, while they drive quite confidently on the dirt road at the same speed.
Generally, diesel engine much more, so to speak, advanced than gasoline. Previously, a Polish engine was installed on SUVs, but after the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant developed its ZMZ-514 series at the beginning of the 2000s, they began to install domestic power units, since they not only were not inferior to imported ones, but even surpassed them.
The diesel engine is equipped with a turbocharger, equipped with direct fuel injection, which makes it possible for it to have fuel consumption that was previously unattainable for an SUV from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, somewhere in the region of 10 liters per 100 kilometers.

Transmission
The transmission of the car consists of two boxes, a gear shift and a transfer case. The gearbox on the Hunter is 5-speed, and the transfer case has two steps. Jeep has all wheel drive front axle may turn off. The transfer case is controlled by a second lever in the cabin, which can be seen in the photo above.
As for the wheel suspension, it is on springs in front, but in the back, like on the good old UAZ, it is spring-loaded. True, the springs are special, soft.
Actually, on this story about the technical characteristics of the UAZ Nunter, you can finish, I summarize.
Summary
Now the main question regarding this car is how much more it will be produced. According to the management of the Ulyanovsk plant, the next generation "Hunter" will not have. But this model, also, no one is going to remove from production, despite the rather high price (based on the level of the car). By the way, they start at 557,000 rubles, which today corresponds to somewhere a little less than 10,000 dollars.
However, in spite of everything, the car has a stable and steady demand, and given its lack of alternatives on the Russian market, it will apparently have it for more than one year. Hunter's only competitor is the good old Niva, which today is called Lada 4x4. But if you remember that next year it, apparently, will be discontinued, then the demand for Ulyanovsk products should increase even more.
So, I think, it's too early to say that it's time for the Hunter to rest.
This model has replaced legendary car UAZ-469 (UAZ-3151), which lasted more than 30 years on the assembly line. Hunter outwardly resembles its predecessor, but created on a fundamentally new platform. A set of new technical solutions and the use of modern components made it possible to create an economical, dynamic, reliable, stable and comfortable SUV. At the same time, it was possible to maintain the traditional advantages of UAZs: excellent cross-country ability and low price.
Strict military bearing acquired an urban gloss and style. New, more modern, aesthetic and safe plastic bumpers with integrated foglights are striking. Decorative fender liner that crawls over the fenders complements the large 16-inch wheels. Instead of rotary windows, sliding windows are now installed, which improves visibility, interior ventilation and facilitates access to the rear-view mirrors for their adjustment. The double closed door sealing circuit makes the car interior less noisy, helps to maintain the microclimate in the cabin, and prevents the penetration of moisture. Access to the trunk is now opened by a hinged rear door (the side tailgate is installed on the version with an awning). Looks good and posted on tailgate spare, hidden in a case. For a substantial surcharge, Hunter can be supplied with alloy wheels and paint the car in metallic.
The interior of the car has undergone significant changes. The interior space has ceased to be ascetic and allows the driver and passengers to comfortably settle down. The redesigned front seats with fabric upholstery are fore and aft adjustable to accommodate both tall and average riders. Despite the fact that steering column Not adjustable for height or reach. There are only three adjustments themselves - backrest tilt, lumbar support adjustment and longitudinal. Adjustable backrest angle and lumbar support of the front seats help to properly distribute the load on the body and make long-distance travel more comfortable.
Rear passengers will also be able to get comfortable. Legroom is enough even for very tall people. Of the adjustments for the rear seats, only the backrest is provided. And if desired, they can be lowered to make a bed. For a surcharge, two more seats can be installed in the Hunter's luggage compartment.
Despite the high landing, the steps are not provided. Torpedo is made of dark gray plastic. The speedometer has settled somewhere under the steering wheel, so it is extremely difficult to read the readings from it, since they are hidden behind the right steering wheel spoke and the right steering column switch. Sensors for oil pressure, battery charging, engine temperature and the amount of fuel in the tanks remained on the center console (there are two of them in the Hunter). But it is also difficult to read information from them, since the devices are not deployed to the driver, but are located parallel to the dashboard line.
Designed for use in the harsh Russian winter, Hunter received insulated floors covered with carpet. The stove is turned on by pressing a switch under the center console. There are no air temperature adjustments here - the toggle switch regulates only the blowing force (medium and strong mode). If it is very cold outside, the driver can open the damper, and warm air will flow into the cabin directly from the fan, which will warm the air much faster. Blowers are provided only under the windshield and under the instrument panel.
UAZ Hunter is equipped with one of four engines: a new 16-valve gasoline engine ZMZ-409.10 (volume 2.7 liters, power 140 hp) equipped with fuel injection and exhaust gas aftertreatment systems (meets Euro II standards), Ulyanovsk UMZ-409.10 (carburetor, 2.9 liters, power 100 hp), diesel engine ZMZ-5143 (volume 2.24 liters, power 98 hp) Polish turbodiesel 4ST90-Andoria (volume 2.4 liters, power 86 hp). with.). All cars have LUK clutch, 5-speed gearbox, helical transfer case, new Spicer axles, front disc brakes. The Hunter's front suspension became spring, while the rear remained spring. This combination allows you to swallow small potholes in the road.
Easy to operate, UAZ Hunter is unpretentious in maintenance. His high dynamic characteristics, moderate fuel consumption, excellent cross-country ability and high load capacity will surely please the future owner.
The domestic car manufacturer strives to produce models that will meet modern trends and safety standards. The equipment of the machines makes it comfortable to travel on them even over rough terrain. Special formulations, which are applied to the body, reliably protect it from damage and corrosion.
The machine has a reinforced running system and engine, thanks to which it can withstand significant loads. UAZ Hunter diesel has powerful engine manufactured by ZMZ, therefore it copes well with the transportation of massive cargo.
Advantages of UAZ Hunter
Unlike most domestic cars, Hunter takes into account all previous shortcomings, making the car a success with motorists. Among the advantages it is worth noting:
- Comfortable salon. Soft seats are comfortable to use, and a special coating is easily cleaned from various contaminants. The plastic that is inside the cabin is resistant to fading and cracking. The material of the steering wheel and gear lever is pleasant to the touch and retains its original state throughout the entire period of operation.
- economical engine. New model engine, which is installed on the UAZ Hunter, is more economical and environmentally friendly. Compared with petrol models, the diesel engine saves 2-3 liters of fuel less for every hundred kilometers. In the process of movement for the motor, there is practically no difference what mass the car transports.
- Advanced transmission. More durable parts guarantee the reliability of the mechanisms and their work in all conditions. Four-wheel drive guarantees good traction, and also provides high flotation in mud, sand and other difficult soils.
- Improved Suspension. The spring suspension is equipped with stabilizers. The car is comfortable to drive even over bumps and large stones. According to the owners, the new suspension, combined with high ground clearance, is great option for hunting or winter fishing trips.
- Capacity. The spacious trunk allows you to place a large amount of cargo in it. The load capacity declared by the manufacturer is 675 kilograms.
The machine is multifunctional and will perfectly cope with various tasks. The power of the diesel engine allows you to successfully use the car as a tug. The capacity of the car provides comfortable transportation of people in difficult climatic conditions. The all-terrain vehicle is amazing and makes it indispensable in remote regions of Russia.
The car has 5 doors, 5 main and 2 extra seats. The mass of the car without passengers and cargo is 1890 kilograms. The dimensions of the car are 4100x2010x2025 cm. Due to its compact size, the car is convenient for moving around the city and in dense forests. The minimum turning radius is 8.6 meters.
The machine is equipped with a 2.2 liter turbocharged diesel engine manufactured by ZMZ. The sixteen-valve 4-cylinder engine has good wear resistance and maintains its performance for a long time. Engine power is 114 horsepower, and maximum speed, which the car can develop, is equal to 135 kilometers per hour. The engine consumes only 10.1 liters of fuel in city mode, which makes it very economical. The car has two fuel tanks, each of which is equal to 39 liters.
The ground clearance of the UAZ Hunter diesel is 21 cm. Tires with parameters R16 225/75 are installed on the wheels. Five-speed box transmission provides convenient control and speed control. dependent suspension with telescopic shock absorbers provides a comfortable ride in all conditions.
Price
A car in the basic configuration costs about 560 thousand rubles. For its segment, the price of the car is more than pleasant. A car, in comparison with similar models of foreign production, has a cost 2-3 times lower, but at the same time it is practically not inferior in quality. Since the series diesel cars was limited in production, it is quite difficult to find spare parts for the fuel system. The car is usually equipped fog lights, power steering, headlight range control and other options that make driving and driving more comfortable.
The cost of UAZ Hunter diesel cars for secondary market varies greatly. This is due to the features of operation, as well as the technical condition of the machine. If the car was used occasionally for hunting trips, fishing or just nature, then its cost can reach 500 thousand rubles. Most often, cars at this price have traveled no more than 10,000 kilometers. Cars that have a mileage of over 50 thousand km usually cost between 250-350 thousand rubles. Prices in the secondary market are constantly changing, so the real cost of a car can only be said in the cabin.
maintainability
It is believed that it is easy enough to find spare parts for any UAZ, but in the case of Hunter, this is far from the case. Details have custom sizes, so it is quite difficult to find them in the public domain. Most of the spare parts are made to order, so car repairs may take a little longer than standard UAZs.
Since the machine has many components and assemblies, its repair must be carried out by people who have special skills. The easiest way is to contact a service center, but not all car owners of a domestic car can afford it. If it is not possible to perform service maintenance in specialized salons, then you should not neglect the carrying out of planned work on your own. It is mandatory to change the fuel and air filter, belts and other spare parts according to the regulations. Untimely replacement may cause more serious damage.
Owner reviews
The owners note that the car is really almost an all-terrain vehicle, but at the same time it has a high consumption. Although the manufacturer indicates the consumption in the city within 10.1 liters per 100 km, but real consumption differs in a big way. On the highway, the car really consumes about 10 liters per 100 km, but in the city it “eats” at least 13. When operating in difficult conditions or in winter, consumption can rise to 15 liters per hundred kilometers. Breakdowns, as in any UAZ, are quite common. Sometimes it may be necessary to rebuild individual nodes.
To the surprise of most car owners, the engine correct operation not subject to sudden breakdowns. Timely oil change, use of high-quality fuel and timely repair of faults fuel system will allow the motor to serve more than 200 thousand kilometers. The use of high-quality rubber in combination with the technical characteristics of the car allows the driver to feel good even on an icy road.
Frequent breakdowns and characteristic flaws
One of the most common faults is a broken starter. Since it is quite difficult to find components for it, it is more expedient to produce it complete replacement. Also one of weaknesses is soundproofing.
Some car owners note the insufficient operation of the stove. With a strong minus, it can be cold in the cabin, therefore, when operating in the northern regions, it makes sense to install additional heaters.
