Conclusion
Which car is the most relevant to student in the university auto park? My research paper question sounds like that. It is obvious that I did not spend time in the library reading novels. In the contrary, my work started next to the monitor of my personal computer. My ability to search reached the level “Advanced”. I managed to choose four beautiful, fast and not expensive automobiles to make an auto competition. They are German titans Audi A4 with BMW 328i, and Japanese pearls: Toyota Camry 40 and Lexus GS300. I planned to choose the car according to design, safety, price and mechanical characteristics. The first thing that came to my mind is visiting websites of automotive companies of these cars. It is obvious that sellers will only praise their own product. So, I decided that it was bad idea. I visited several pages in the internet and found articles with critics written by car experts. In these articles, I did not find the best one, however the features of each was written in details.
The first one was about Toyota Camry 40(2005). Camry 40 is the best seller in North America. I will add that it also popular in Kazakhstan. People named it as “Traditional Kazakh Car”. The fact that this model started manufacturing in 1983 and did not lose its consumers is surprising. The engineers paid attention especially to quality, durability and reliability. They call it shortly QDR.
The second article argued that the aristocratic BMW 328i(2006) is the most beautiful car of the XXI century. Maybe the design is important factor, we must promise that other factors as mechanical characteristics and price are exist. After reading the article written by Jack Biddle, I realized that it might be so called “First and Furious” in my research paper. However, I did not rush to the future. It is time to think objectively.
The third car, suggested by my dear friend - Nurzhigit, was Lexus GS300 (2004). This model is considered the most luxury car in Japan. In my opinion, this car may be considered as the most beautiful. However, mechanics and safety of this car do not sound so luxurious.
The fourth suggested auto is Audi A4 of 2005. I gave a name “Mr. Practicality”. Audi A4 is the only car that I managed to drive. It is good at turning and stops. Maybe it is best car to learn how to drive an automobile. In my beliefs, design and engine of Audi A4 are at the high level.
After revising I realized that each of these vehicles can be named as “First and Furious”. Then, I tried to animate the general picture of Kazakhstan automobile market. I found a great article written by Sergey Abakshin. It is all about sharing market in Kazakhstan. I learned that not everything changed after capitalism stage officially ended. People buy cars to demonstrate their wealth and richness. So, it might be seem that roads are filled with Gelenwagens and Porsche Cayeens. However, in fact, the middle class population drives automobiles like Volkswagens and Opels. After entering into customs union, Russian cars play as significant role in the market as German as Japanese cars. I found that the city Ust-Kamenogorsk has local automotive factory. It manufactures cars of foreign brands like Chevrolet and Toyota from 2013.
After the literature review, I took an interview from Zhassulan Khassenov, who graduated from KIMEP. Why Zhassulan? I have an answer for this question. Zhassulan is the co-founder of the largest automotive organization in Kazakhstan named as “CarsKZ”. We had a nice talk in the local lounge bar “Ack Obama”. Zhasullan gathered all motorists of Almaty together and created community that has 42 000 members. He told me beautiful creation history of “CarsKZ”. As he is surrounded with cars, I thought he would know a lot about them. So, I introduced him my research project. We talked little bit about automobiles generally, and then he shared ideas about features and characters that make each car different from others.
What did I learn new from him? Lexus is about aesthetic pleasure, feeling like you are the pilot of jet. It has excellent operational system. Audi A4 leading model by technical characteristics: the rapid acceleration, good governance at sharp bends and good brake pads. Toyota Camry 40 is car that became a canon of Kazakhstan’s automotive market. The last car is BMW 328i. The standard of German quality speaks for itself.
By taking into consideration all of the collected data, I have come to the following conclusion. Of course, it would be really cool if real experts try to find the most relevant car for students. But until then, I want to recommend BMW 328i.
The model is one the BMW 3 series. It is all about smart design and strong characteristics. This car looks like real gentleman. From one view it is car for young who likes high speed, and from other view it is car that can be used for business meeting. I will present BMW 328i that will cover all points to be “First and Furious”. Firstly, you can fully trust to the safety and security. It has Anti-lock braking system, Advanced Safety System for integrated deployment of passive and active safety features, airbag supplemental restraint system with advanced technology, adaptive brakelights, etc. The mecahical features are 2.0 liter, incline 4 Cylinder engine and 240 horse powers. It has 8-speed automotive transmission, and variable sport steers. In my opinion, these factors make it the most powerful iron horse for the student.
