When the new Niva turned out to be better than Pajero

In a new video on the YouTube channel "Combat Crew", the author decided to share his thoughts on the difficulties of owning Japanese SUVs. Expensive repairs become especially prohibitive when it comes to used cars. The new Niva is a different matter. The author mentions it as reliable and simple car, proven over the years. This choice became an alternative to the expensive Pajero, and the money saved can be invested in another car.

Having visited the car showroom, the author settled on a Niva with air conditioning and basic modern functions. The first impressions were good: permanent all-wheel drive, improved suspension and ease of control. But there were some downsides - there were problems with the ergonomics of the pedals, play in the transmission and minor flaws, including a weak towbar. Nevertheless, the car pleased with its maneuverability, smooth ride, and even surprised with good sound insulation.
