The research company GfK-Rus has found out which automobile brand Russian motorists dream of. The company's experts asked the opinion of 1231 car owners about which of the brands corresponds to the statement "The car of this brand is my dream, one day I will definitely buy it." One could name several brands. The study did not include marketers, sellers of cars, spare parts and those who perform after-sales service for cars.

It looks like a rating the most coveted cars for Russians in 2016.

8. Hyundai

Unpretentious and inexpensive (compared to other rating participants) cars would like to buy 30% of Russians. Over the years, this Korean manufacturer has positioned itself as a price alternative to more expensive Japanese competitors. When other manufacturers "increase" options, raising the cost of their products, Hyundai offers alloy wheels and heated side mirrors and other "goodies" even in the basic configuration. An additional advantage is a five-year warranty.

7. Ford

Excellent appearance, low maintenance, good handling, suspension not killed even on Russian roads - all these are Ford cars. They are preferred by 32% of respondents.

6. Honda

According to company statistics R. L. Polk & Company, assembled for 1988-2012, the Honda brand owns the most vehicles with 25 years of service life (and they are still on the move) than any other automobile brand. The Japanese company produces not only durable and durable, but also safe cars. In 2016, Honda cars received eight prestigious Top Safety Pick + awards and one Top Safety Pick from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 36% of respondents admitted their love for Japanese iron horses.

5. Mitsubishi

These cars are praised for a stable ride on all types of roads, a reliable engine, a spacious interior, an attractive design and scolded for poor sound insulation, stiffer suspension and high cost. But despite these shortcomings, a car of the Mitsubishi brand would like to acquire 38% of motorists.

4. Mazda

The rating of dream cars is continued by Mazda cars (39% of respondents voted for them). In 2011, Mazda developed SKYACTIV, a range of technologies that significantly increase fuel efficiency and engine power. In addition, Mazda production cars lose little in price during resale.

3. Nissan

49% of research participants dream of these machines, reliable in operation, with a durable chassis. Japanese Nissan cars are beautiful both externally and internally, although the design of the Nissan Cube and Nissan JUKE makes some people wonder.

2. Volkswagen

52% of respondents would like to buy a car of this brand. And Volkswagen Tiguan leads the most anticipated crossovers of 2016. The name of this largest European automaker is synonymous with superior build quality, reliability and first-class design. In the secondary market, Volkswagen cars are in great demand. This means that you can spend your money on one of the new cars, knowing that you are making a wise investment. Some Volkswagen models run on diesel, the combustion of which produces less emissions than gasoline. And though diesel costs a little more than gasoline, they need to refuel less often.

1. Toyota

Managing a dream is what 83% of respondents crave. Toyota cars are of high quality and this is surprising, because their range is very extensive. More than 80% of Toyota cars sold 2 decades ago still drive and feel great. And if you suddenly "get sick", then finding the right spare part is not difficult. And when you buy a Toyota car, you get a car of the safest brand of 2016 according to IIHS.
