It is difficult to disagree with the fact that the Russian Volga Siber sedan is a very interesting car. It was built on the American licensed platform Chrysler JR41, and specialists from the renowned English studio UltraMotive worked on its design. Not surprisingly, Russian car enthusiasts quickly became interested in this machine. Many of them, taking into account price and quality, eventually purchased a Volga Cyber sedan. The reviews they leave about this car are of some interest, so I would like to study them in more detail.
Characteristics
All the reviews left about the Volga Cyber sedan contain capacious comments regarding the power of this car. This model was offered with two engines, not very different from each other. One produced 141 liters. from. (2.0 L), and the other - 143 L. from. (2.4 L). Versions with the first engine listed were more powerful, so they were snapped up more actively.
Owners say that the motor is one of the strengths of the Volga Cyber sedan. Reviews allow you to verify the reality of the expense declared on the passport. For 100 “urban” kilometers, a little less than 11 liters of fuel is consumed. When driving on the highway, consumption is reduced to 5.7 liters. In addition, it is a time-tested, reliable engine. Exactly the same engines were installed on the Dodge Caravan and Stratus, Chrysler Voyager, PT Cruiser and Sebring. They are hardy and strong, positioned as millionaires.
What about the dynamics? People assure: this sedan is an ideal option for a measured ride around the city. He feels good on the track. In the range of 110-160 km / h the road keeps confidently. And the speed, if you do not look at the speedometer, and you can not feel at all.
Road behavior
This nuance is noted by the attention of all people leaving reviews about the Volga Cyber sedan. The owners are happy with the chassis as a whole. The suspension is characterized by moderate stiffness. People who moved to Volga Siber from a car from AvtoVAZ say that the sensations are comparable to the process of managing a foreign car. All minor irregularities and joints of the suspension are “swallowed”.
Ground clearance, of course, is considered by many to be small (14 cm). But it is worth remembering that this is a city car, not intended for off-road. You just need to slow down in front of the pits and not “jump” onto the curbs, then you will not have to feel any discomfort from the low ground clearance.
By the way, models with the “automatic” receive quite decent reviews. Car owners are satisfied with the Volga Cyber with automatic transmission - the box quickly and adequately responds to a changing driving style, “thoughtfulness” does not occur, transfers change smoothly and on time, even overtaking can be done with comfort.
Standard equipment
The equipment with which the car is equipped deserves special attention, since the set of equipment is really solid. And the reviews left about the Volga Cyber sedan confirm this.
The basic equipment includes air conditioning, galvanized body, two airbags with multi-stage gas filling, ABS and ASR, halogen optics with adjustable and delayed shutdown, power steering, full power accessories, audio system with CD receiver. In addition to the above, there is also a custom steering column, folding exterior mirrors with heating and an interior with auto-dimming and backlighting, a central lock and a spare wheel.
Options "Lux"
The equipment is rich, but most motorists own a "luxury" version, which pleases with even more impressive equipment. In addition to the above, it includes a leather interior with wood trim, adjustable in 10 directions heated seats, cup holders with backlight, alloy wheels, headlight washers and fog lights.
The list of equipment is impressive, so the lack of negative comments from the owners regarding the poverty of equipment is not at all surprising. As a matter of fact, many people chose the Volga Siber sedan precisely because of its rich configuration.
disadvantages
They are also mentioned by many people leaving reviews about the "GAZ Volga Cyber". After several years of operation, some owners have darkened the glass on the "fog", the reason for which are very powerful lamps.
Even in the versions with standard equipment, the standard audio preparation does not accept the MP3 format, you have to burn a CD. But the sound from the speakers is excellent. So many simply turn a blind eye to this small flaw, so as not to spoil the interior by replacing the audio system. Some still don't like the inconveniently located alarm button. You have to get used to the fact that it is next to the scoreboard.
In addition to the above, the car has low-quality full-time tires. If the thermometer column drops below + 5-7 degrees, it starts to make noise.
Advantages
Well, in the end, it is worth listing a few more advantages that the owners most often note. Many consider the practicality of this car an important nuance. The trunk, for example, is really voluminous, as for a mid-size sedan. You can verify this by looking at the photos provided above the Volga Cyber sedan. The reviews left by the owners assure that even large items can actually be placed in the 453-liter trunk. Especially if you fold the rear seats.
The cabin, by the way, is comfortable. Behind will be able to accommodate three people of medium build. True, it will be inconvenient for very tall people (under 2 meters tall), since there is not enough space above their heads and knees.
But the main advantage of this model is its price. Even initially the car was inexpensive, but now it can be purchased at all for 250-300 thousand rubles in good condition and with low mileage.
