It's hard to call the new budget car market empty. We mean a new car for $15,000, with a good basic package, and we don't mean cars developed in the last century at new prices. Hyundai has been showing the ability to survive in the toughest market conditions for about thirty years and one of its cars, the Hyundai Accent 2022 model year will give for its money what others are not able to give.

The timing chain drive mechanism is quite reliable, but also has its own resource. How to replace the drive chain and what you need for replacement, we will learn right now.
An automatic transmission is a useful thing. The technology of building automatic transmissions and producing lubricants for them has reached such a level that you can not think about changing the oil in the automatic for 4-5 years. That's if we buy a new car. If we have a car with a mileage, we have to face the problem of choosing a fluid and the method of its replacement. Both problems cause a lot of questions and we will look for answers right now.
The robotic seven-speed DSG7 DQ200 gearbox on the Skoda Octavia A7 once sucked the blood of owners. After 2014, engineers have perfected it, and official dealers replaced it under warranty.

Automatic transmissions are no less sensitive to lubrication quality than the engine. Some models are even more finicky in this respect. Timely oil replacement in automatic transmission 6F35 Ford Focus 2 guarantees that our automatic transmission will serve at least 200-250 thousand miles without overhaul. Old oil can cause friction clutches to overheat, which will lead to costly repairs. The cost of automatic transmission repair may be at the level of price tags of contractual boxes.

Changing the timing belt on any car is never sudden and unexpected. Unless, of course, it is an emergency case when the belt breaks and the valves meet the pistons. The average life of any belt, even the most expensive one, does not exceed 60-70 thousand km. No, it can run for 100 or even 120 000 km, if the quality and driving conditions allow it. However, experienced drivers do not recommend procrastinating with this business. Liquidation of consequences of carelessness will cost too much.
That's something you wouldn't wish on your enemy. After World War II, BMW, one of the leading German companies in the car market, was left empty-handed. The honest communists took away the company's four complete factories along with the blueprints. The plants went to the German "red zone" (Brandenburg industrial area). What was not taken away was bombed and robbed. Thinking about new models was just pointless. If not for the BMW Isetta.
