Car Volkswagen Golf has always been considered a practical family car designed for the mass and availability. Almost all the generations of this model are of high quality and good maintainability.

And fast food.



4th place. Nissan 200SX (year - a find)

Never ask the owners of such cars as the Nissan 200SX, about the year of issue. This is the last thing that excites enthusiasts who buy rare coupe with rear wheel drive and turbo. It is better to ask, where is found. Sales 200SX rare. But to sell the model even more difficult than to buy.

And going Impreza, too bad! Permanent all-wheel drive and excellent engine makes this car even more drayverskie than some BMW (will not point fingers). If there is no money in the WRX, look for 2, 5-liter Impreza. The machine is sure to delight both the "mechanics" and the "automatic". Incidentally, this is the only model in today's top, which can be called also practical. A version of the WRX STI - is generally a family sports car!
