Due to the high price, the car is not very popular in the car market, but it is beautiful and reliable. Honda as a company suffered a significant drop in sales, and therefore it got the fourth place in our rating.

Advantages and disadvantages
6. Mazda 3
The latest incarnations of this Mazda are increasingly reminiscent of a car from the future with their contours. Although such smoothed edges are generally typical for the designers of this brand in recent years. The motto of the car is sports spirit and elegance. A very precise definition.
The latest generation of the “troika” is the seventh. However, finding a new car from our dealers is now problematic. Therefore, it remains to be content with outbids or pay attention to past restylings.
Under the hood there can be a 1.5 or 2.0 liter gasoline engine (in the case of the latest model). Salon and attracts the eye. He wants to study and look at. It seems that everything in it is devoid of regular geometric shapes and, on the contrary, a certain asymmetry prevails. But it turned out great. There are complaints about it in terms of price: if you compare its equipment and cost with the same segment from competitors, it turns out that manufacturers have saved, for example, on keyless access, a rear-view camera and other significant nuances.
Price: 200 – 000 for a car “from hand”
Advantages and disadvantages
7. Volvo S60
Volvo has a very interesting reputation: at such a high price, their cars do not have outstanding visual indicators, but they have the glory of the most reliable cars. In the cabin of the new S60, you can find real wood. And in general, everything inside is thought out to the smallest detail. They are reproached for the lack of physical climate control installations. Yes, we live in the age of high technology, so everything here is on the touch screen.
Business class, which is comfortable not only for the driver, but also for the passengers in the back row. The new version with a turbocharged engine accelerates to hundreds in six to seven seconds.

Advantages and disadvantages
9. JAC J7 (A5)
Strictly speaking, this is not a sedan, but a liftback – that is, something in between a hatch and a classic. Attitudes towards the Chinese auto industry have been changing in recent years. And this Jack can take its rightful place among the best sedans over time. I can’t even believe that for the price the company offers the new owner chrome moldings and an expressive glossy black roof. The Italians “designed” the car.
The trunk is spacious but empty. Rear legs are spacious, but with a full landing of three passengers, the average will probably have to bend down. There are no special options and chips for passengers. The driver’s seat looks more stylish, but in terms of functionality, the Chinese still have work to do. Box mechanic or variator.
Price: RUB 1 — RUB 129 for a new car
Advantages and disadvantages
10. Toyota Corolla
A sedan, which, thanks to intrusive advertising in Our Country, has almost become a synonym for a car in principle. Until now, it is one of the most popular cars on our market. The best example of a C‑class sedan is the lower middle one, or as it is also called “family”. He has a good ground clearance of 160 mm. Calm drivers sing praises to her for high driving comfort, and sharper ones, on the contrary, are scolded for any lack of dynamics on the road. Note that in the new generation there is a Sport version, but it is notable only for its design.
The engine in our market is only 1.6. Box: six-speed mechanics or CVT. All configurations from “classic” to “prestige” differ only in filling and disks. In general, if you are looking for a reliable sedan without unnecessary bells and whistles, then this model will be the best choice.
Price: 1 – 630 rubles. for a new car from the showroom

How to choose a sedan
Comments auto expert Vyacheslav Koshcheev.
– Since sedans are the most popular cars in the secondary market, you need to choose them very carefully. They are popular because of their practicality, convenience, availability. This type of car is excellent for both family people and young people.
I’ll tell you what you need to pay attention to. Often, sellers adjust the mileage to increase the value of the car. They can cheat for several tens and hundreds of thousands of kilometers, so in no case do not look at the mileage alone. A dirty dusty engine, a shabby interior, muddy lights will tell you that the car is “tired” and has definitely traveled not 50 km, which the tachometer shows, but much more.
If you buy a car in a car dealership (whether new or used), remember that additional services may be imposed on you. Managers try to sell as many “accessories” and additional equipment of dubious quality as possible.
I advise you to check the car with a special device – a thickness gauge, especially the roof. The car can be restored after a severe accident. And if he turned over in an accident, then his geometry may be curved. In addition, cheap repairs and replacement of airbags with snags can harm you and your passengers.
Be careful and do not stumble upon a problem car. I liked the car – do not try to get it right away, check it on special sites. The car may be on credit, it may have a restriction on registration actions, it may be arrested by bailiffs. Modern services will even show whether the car was involved in accidents.
