Patties with filling

But fried pies, with onions, cabbage, rice, potatoes and jog! Fall, do not yaw, inexpensive! And, remembering the Mamina's fragrant home or grandmother's hotels, unwittingly slow down a step in advance, this is just a distant reminder of them. Almost probably street dishes will be fresh and monotonous. But if on the background of the fast food, suddenly cuts something similar to the home kitchen, be sure, the product will not remain unnoticed!
Of course, I exaggerate a little, in advance splashing sarcasm in relation to at least two participants of this test. But the fierce debate around close Far Eastern neighbors, the more obvious: there is still a huge abyss between cars from China and Korea.
Yes, the automotive industry is developing violently, sometimes stunning pace. That's just an orientation alarms: copies, copies and again copies. And not licensed, but dubious quality home self-resistant. And in this All-China process is visible undisguised pride in the blood of the same BYD F3 with Toyota Corolla. And for the impressive list of basic equipment for most manufacturers, it is displayed in the option. Maybe relatively inexpensive Cheri-Fora with a 2-liter motor developed by the Austrian company AVL, eclipses less powerful competitors and will conquer experts with lubricant inquiries like a large and spacious body?
It seems that opponents from the Korea of \u200b\u200bNissan-almers Classic and Kia-Rio will not be able to resist such arguments. But let's think about why this most common consumer industry is more expensive, and the sensation causes much more automotive?
Without stereotypes
In an ordinary consumer who grew up in the post-Soviet space among small motors and unassuming body, a peculiar perception of the car. Many, for example, it is difficult to imagine that a large (almost Volga) vehicle, with an impressive trunk and a completely modern 130-strong engine can suddenly take and not like. How so? And spectacular and, we must pay tribute, neat outlines of the body, the abundance of chromium, alloy wheels finally? And inside because bright leather, polished aluminum, richest set of equipment, including climatic installation and driver's seat and electrically regulating the driver's seat!
It is difficult to object against such emotional arguments, while waiting for the Barank and a dressed in the front pillar of the body, grinding and praised, do not suit the cushion of the cushion under the ceiling of the seats of the shape. You will not feel his candy-like surface, simplicity, if not the primitiveness of the form, in which no gram of desire to keep the body in a convenient position. What is used to evaluate when the steering wheel is almost on the knees, before the eyes of the trimming of the main appliances, and the narrow, like foolits, the outer mirrors completely beat off the desire to praise seem to be a good visibility? In addition, it is clearly a boutaphoric climate refuses to mix air flows, the driver's glass is inspired in the lower position, but the remnants of that era are in relation to Cherry, the remnants of that era: they say, it is wondering! The motor is something like 2.0 liters, like a clear box, steering wheel, pedals.
Indeed, the engine's engine partly justifies hope. If you choose it from the soul, taking the tachometer arrow to a four thousandth mark, the car becomes light and movable. But with the drop of turns weaken and everything else. Overtaking, rebuildings very quickly notice: the box of the box has to work hardly no more than on a small car. What seemed good-free with a calm ride becomes boring and inexpressive. And then there are still heavy and non-informative brakes, mismatched suspensions, knocked out to cause an attack of sea disease. Especially the rear, which in deep waves shoot the feed of the car as if she says goodbye to her forever. Some straight catapult!
Thanks to such zakydon, the handling of the forow looks only to the expected addition of the coaching character. Detergens, intense sideways with a strict and sharp steering wheel make the device in advance and quite dangerous at high speed.
The result of cloning
It seems to be Toyota-Corolla of the Pre-Correction Generation in each line, Zagunke, button, toggle. Even below, excellent copied levers, rear beam, exhaust system. But under the hood of the BYD F3 for some reason the 1.6-liter Mitsubishi engine. It seems that they know their ways of reconciling eternal rivals.
And yet the analogies are inappropriate. This is convinced, looking at a saliva, all in a fine mesh window combination of devices. And no flames of brightly light scales and arrows do not help! Flat and dry-willed seats, covered with perforated Chinese leather, on the texture more resembling dermatin, can still be compared with the shape chair. I will note even a more convenient and high back. But when she left his head into the ceiling, and curved legs into the pedals, because of the impossible small range of longitudinal adjustment, it became unable. Well, can not even hint towards the relationship with Toyota, when the inner mirror hangs in it, like something on the rope! When the surrounding tree, even cheap plastic, the language does not turn, and the small chip paint on the back almost in front of the eyes blooms the brown spot! Comparison is appropriate only with a fellow fellow in misfortune. Parents do not choose!
I admit, BYD is more successful than the fores, ergonomics (apparently, to copy a more thoughtful object), spacious and deeper the luggage compartment, rationally the back seat. In this, perhaps, I put a point, because here the work of the climate installation of Bestwank and is incomprehensible, and the outer mirrors seek the thoughts about the united Chinese workshop for all the Chinese.
The transmission F3, sings to I and II transmissions, sounds the first impressions to unison, bringing the despondency and associations with the designs of the early 1960s. True, a vapor gearbox as a set of speed is quite boylessly coping with duties. But here, a cacophony from tire noise, aerodynamic streams and a motor comes to replace the gears.
The engine is generally not bad, but as well as its 2-liter countryman, to high speed, becoming expressive only after 35004000 rpm. It is worth a slight arrow of the tachometer, the car becomes gray and ordinary. The chassis is balanced somewhat better than Cheri. No, of course, the F3 suspension is also not called comfortable, so in detail and noisy they recalculate small irregularities of the road. But on more serious BYD cords is not inclined to the star, and the energy intensity of the suspension is better.
I wanted to say that the car is more successful and from the point of view of manageability: the genes are still! But at the time of cloning, they were still struck by a certain virus, so the result was not entirely predicted, one-sided. Thanks to the decent suspension, the car is clearer, kinder behaves in turns. But very lacking feedback on the steering wheel, besides, the car is growing pretty. In general, two steam boots, and far from the most successful and fashionable style.
Quality of simplicity
How cool when you are not trying to surprise cheap luxury, prove that even far from the most successful clone is expressive. The old, the old, good Nissan-almer is not capable of calling a storm of emotions. Find into a poor, but neat and a good car, into the world of verified effort, monophonic plastics, dark fabric upholsters. The car is not attempting to surprise, make you richer than you are, the places amazing the archaic of decisions (such a heating system). But all this looks native, familiar, comfortable. And let the steering wheel are large, but the seat in one movement adapts to the characteristics of the body, although its proportions, the adjustment ranges do not call perfect. Is the most common combination of instruments? Perhaps, it can be supplied to archaic, but it is read canceled. And so in everything, for which you will take, how do neither touch.
Nothing particularly noticeable is almer classic and on the go. An ordinary engine with an even, measured character in which, however, the routine is slightly larger than I would like. No, he reliably perform his work, absolutely not straining with normal ride. But wishing more interfere with stretched gears and the lack of a light in the motors of the motor.
That certainly strains is the handling, or rather, lethargy, the thought of the machine's reactions adjacent to the body rolls. It is not clear where it came from: After all, the same, the Deceit of the Almer did not suffer from such sores. And here the steering wheel is lazy to such an extent that it is necessary to calculate the trajectory for the object of irregularities.
Although what to compare? Against the background of the Chinese, Nissan, no doubt, will seem comfortable and good. In addition, here are sensitive, verified brakes, good smoothness, good acoustic comfort. And, most importantly, everything works, almost perfectly interacting. Of course, against the backdrop of a more modern competitor, Almera will not everything will be smooth. Let's listen to another opinion.
Tribute to modern
You can assure something special Sedan Kia Rio, it means to shove the soul. A completely ordinary car, all the advantage of which is only in an obvious novelty. Of course, in comparison with the same almer, he looks modern, and the interior is more interesting. It seems to be the same plastics and dark tones that dominate the materials of the upholstery, but in the car you feel differently. Here brighter, more fun, friendly. Through the expressive, memorable devices. The cozy seat, for simple forms of which I do not want to find fault. A small rudder, intelligible pedals, climatic window. In a word, all the same thing that was in the cars standing nearby, this began and earned.
I am preparing even to give odds to the very small in the Motor Quartet: what is there to wait from the buzzing of 1.4 liters from the buzzing of 1.4 liters, except for cheerfulness in high revs? And suddenly I am looking to pay attention to how rarely you have to switch the transfer. That even on the fifth Rio more confident and more reliably the rest accelerates from 50 60 km / h. And if you already agree to something only for lack of acne after 140 km / h. Here you have a little bastard!
The rivalry of the two Koreans unfolds in the area of \u200b\u200bcomfort. Rio is not bad for noise and, in general, leaves a quite favorable impression. Here he easily competes with Almer. But his suspension is tougher, they coped well with small irregularities, but prone to a detailed repetition of the road profile. Therefore, at serious Colds, Nissan looks preferable.
But the smoothness of the stroke is the last argument of almers. In other nominations, the newcomer Rio leaves no chance to the opponent. Brakes are just as effective. And behavior on the road if not flawlessly, it is much better than the rest. Assembly, with a twinkle, reactions in turns, good feedback. Excellent feeling direct and sensitive attitude to driver teams. All this makes kia-rio easy, convenient and obedient in everyday life.

Let's imagine that the Chinese copied our, Russian, car, say Priora or Kalina. At the same time, they did not put in the power scheme of the body, to change the settings of the chassis and other systems, while complemented the machines inexpensive, but quite reliable electronics, electric drives, security systems. Finally, just gently collected and painted the body, equipping them with good plastic. And what? Probably it would have turned well.
 
This can not yet be said about the purebred Chinese supplied to our market. They are cheap and at first glance perfectly equipped. But as soon as any serious rivals appear on their field, disadvantages of structures, the miscalculations in the settings become obvious. To avoid them, you need not just copy, and carefully examine the neighbors first of all those that are not close

Well, sit, sit!
Widow is a place for cargo and passengers one of the main requirements for inexpensive cars. In addition to mandatory measurements, we decided to just sit in the threesome on the rear seats share their impressions.
The external solidity of Cheri-Fora acts rear passengers. Strongly inclined racks and falling to the stern roof pressure on the head. Sit down low does not work, the knees are close to the backs of the front armchairs.
BYD F3 in height and width of the cabin is the most spacious. It is normal in front of the front does not give a hatch in the roof, but the rear passengers are much more freedom. It is a pity, and here the knees are especially uncomplicated, and the massive tunnel interferes with the average passenger.
Seese threesome in the back seat of Nissan-Almer Art: closely to all. It is even more difficult to get out of there because in this package saved on the handles for which it is convenient to stay.
Kia Rio is also not a gift for three adult peasants. In comparison with the almer here, it is a bit more convenient to enter the output, more correctly configuration of the back of the front armchairs. But still closely.
Sergey Voskresensky: The fans of the car from the Middle Kingdom will surely reproach me in chauvinistic sentiments. Believe me, I'm not against this product. Other annoying: Russia is becoming a huge polygon for testing crude equipment.
