Several brands could be named. The study did not include marketers, auto sellers, auto parts sellers, and those who perform auto after-sales services.

8. Hyundai
Unpretentious and inexpensive (compared to other participants in the rating) 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. As other manufacturers "ramp up" options, raising the cost of their products, Hyundai offers alloy wheels and heated side mirrors and other goodies, even in the basic configuration. A five-year warranty is an added benefit.
7. Ford
Excellent appearance, low operating costs, good handling, unkillable suspension even on Russian roads - all these are Ford cars. They are preferred by 32% of respondents.
6. Honda
According to statistics from R. L. Polk & Company, built between 1988 and 2012, Honda owns the most 25-year vehicles (and still on the move) than any other automotive brand. The Japanese company produces not only durable and durable, but also safe cars. In 2016, Honda vehicles received eight prestigious Top Safety Pick + awards and one Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 36% of the 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, attractive design and are criticized for poor noise insulation, stiff suspension and high cost. But despite these shortcomings, 38% of motorists would like to buy a Mitsubishi brand car.
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, cars produced by Mazda do not lose much in value when resold.
3. Nissan
These machines, reliable in operation, with a durable chassis are the dream of 49% of the study participants. Japanese Nissan cars are beautiful both externally and internally, although the design of the Nissan Cube and Nissan JUKE elicits a bewildered grin from some.
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 excellent build quality, reliability and first-class design. In the secondary market, Volkswagen cars are in great demand. This means 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 fuel, which burns with less emissions than gasoline. Diesel fuel costs a little more than gasoline, but they need to refuel less often.
1. Toyota
Managing a dream is what 83% of those surveyed yearn for. 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 suddenly and "get sick", then it is not difficult to find the necessary spare part. And when you buy a Toyota car, you get the safest brand of 2016 according to IIHS.
