Test Drive Hyundai Accent Hatchback since 2011 Hatchback

Some "kids" go to battle

It's time to admit to move in a big city on a big car it is impossible. Watch waiting in traffic jams. Vain attempts to squeeze in the parking lot near the office. And the cost of refueling ... you want do not want, but you begin to think about urban transport ... or about the city car, small and economical.
There were three of them. Purebred Korean Hyunda Eksart, Hungarian Japanese Suzuki Swift and Kaliningrad Spill Son (or Daughter) Again the Korean people Kia Avell. The entire Trinity is very popular and sold in our country of the car. Someone considers them female and frivolous, and someone does not see a panacea without reason on a punctuation disease. In the Spring Slushny city, we brought them together. Gong sounded and ...
Round first.
Kia Avell Delta
Kia Avell Delta
+ 
1. Gabarits
2. Big clearance
— 
1. Unpropered Ergonomics Salon
2. Bad handling
 
This car externally looks like a boat for walks in small reservoirs. At first glance, it is narrow bottom and even narrowing on top. Huge headlamps with something resemble a little sad eyes of the Basset Hound. So I want to go to the car and stroke: do not worry, native! But Avell has nothing to be upset. She knows well that there is no more such trumps. Secret weapon Avell overall dimensions. The machine with the ease of butterfly penetrates the most narrow slits and turns out again in front. Compared to Kia, our nine looks like a year. When the owner of the Zhiguli tried to repeat our maneuvers, then for him it almost ended the deplorable. Well, he did not get between two trucks, not fit ...
Inside. Everything is quite simple and at the same time efficiently. Fat and soft rabble, standard devices. Cute blossom illumination. The stove and conder are controlled by a certain amount of passing. Plastic panels keep silence in any situation, and the seats are corrupt as the saddle at the cowboy. In the trunk, with the rear lamps of gigantic sizes, it is quite possible to put a bag of potatoes. People above the average growth recommended the movement of no more than two. Very narrow! Yes, and length ... in general, for comfortable driving in traffic jams sacrificed the size of the cabin.
Disappointed windows control unit. It is very uncomfortable. In order to lift the glass, you need to bend the left hand and stretch back, while the elbow rests in the seat belt. Another ambush is connected with belts. Highly located belt locks interfere and rest in the rib. Attempts to remove locks under the seat can lead to a heart attack with such force they shoot and hit already on the right hand. During the trip, the car demolished several times to the side of the harsh gust of the wind. It seems to be ridiculous, but in fact the feeling is not pleasant. Attempts to enter the rotation at speeds above 50 km / h lead to the breakdown of the machine from the trajectory. Help the wheel dimension 165/70. Therefore, the car is designed rather for calm and cautious drivers than for hot young guys.
With a good side showed itself a 1.5-liter engine with a chocolate size. With the sound of a working coffee grinder, he confidently accelerated Avell, leaving behind some competitors. Brakes without ABS cope with their task, but the pedal move could be smaller. All the Colds and Luches Kia perceives quite painfully, but, in general, very adequate. Clearance and suspension moves such that on Avell you can safely climb on the borders. And you can park on it anywhere.
Round the second.
Hyunda Exment
Hönde Exment
+ 
1. High-quality finish
2. Wonderful dynamics
3. Rich Equipment
— 
1. Price
 
The car has changed. It became another outside and completely different inside. The radiator lattice appeared that predatory ruffle, which was so lacking extent. Eyes opened and rounded. Larous wings, hood and trunk gave way to a muscular gland of a potential athlete. Old extern did not impress any impression, but was just a car, innocent, like a child. The current is no longer a child, and we were convinced of this.
Salon has a new extern just wonderful. Good and soft plastic complete with good upholstered seats produces a very pleasant impression. The instrument panel is quite suitable for both the car is higher. The steering wheel is very similar to Zhigulevsky, but only without burrs and at the same time perfectly lies in their hands. The salon has a comfortable ride, only if the front passengers of the average physique. And if the driver and navigator are giant, then the back will be closely. With the width, everything is in order no one nobody pushes anyone. In the trunk, you can already arrange two bags of potatoes. In our Hyunde there were electrical glasses and mirrors. Buttons control of electric drives are connounced in the block on the driver's door, the pictograms are simple and understandable. In the evening it turned out that this unit was not highlighted, but sorry. The instrument panel with a speaker middle is crowned with hours. Just below the radio tape recorder with a very good sound and climate control unit with three twist. Even below the handle of the checkpoint, on which the view involuntarily stops. It happens because the interior of the car light gray, plastic panels are matte, and the scenes are covered with a brilliant silver shade cover, which does not fit into the interior of the car.
A cute glass hatch is covered with a lid that can be used as a table. Road. Hyunda Esate was struck, pleased and pleasantly surprised. A small and lightweight car accelerates quickly and confidently. This is just what is needed in the city. At the Moscow Ring Road (forgive me, the traffic police officers) extern acted to 190 km / h and at the same time never moved drowned, as on rails. On a slippery or slakful road, the brake pedal twisters, and this is already a sign of the ABS work. Colds and hatches suspension swallows without any problems. Intensive ride increases fuel consumption from passport 8 to 12-13 liters.
Disappointing in Hyunda extern one price. A small car is in an adult, almost 13 thousand dollars. But for this amount you will get air conditioning, electric package, ABS, radio and great ride pleasure.
Round the third.
Suzuki Swift.
Suzuki Swift.
+ 
1. Comfortable transformable salon
2. Low fuel consumption
— 
1. Weak acceleration dynamics
2. Hard suspension
 
Swift has also changed somewhat, but only outwardly. The front headlights of their incision very much resemble the headlights of the new five BMW. When you look at this little sedan, it seems that it should be very close and uncomfortable. In general, the attitude to Suzuki a priori is ambiguous. But the whole thing in the title of the company, the glorious motorcycle past and the present suzuki play their role here. But the Swift is not a motorcycle at all, but, as it turned out, a good family city car.
Inside the Swift Superior Vaz. Everything is very simple, inexpensive and at the same time sufficiently worthy. Suzuki Issues of the interior does not shine: a panel with four devices, a stove control. Liquid crystal hours for some reason are at the level of the ashtray and to find out the time, you need to tear off the road.
Pleasant little things are there too. Swift is the only three cars on which the driver's glass is lowered in automatic mode. And the most important rear seat is divided into two parts. That is why Swift is also a family-country sedan. If you transport rakes or skiing, you can even fold the front passenger seat forward. Just great! Suzuki Swift also the biggest trunk.
On the road. When overclocking the Swift loses to competitors due to not very powerful, compared with other dough participants, 1.3 liters engine. But if it should be promoted, the motor can make a small feat. The main thing is to remember that after 6000 revolutions, the limiter turns on, and the car begins to actively resist acceleration. In a small engine there are posses, it consumes very little gasoline: 7.8 liters passport, but in practice it turned out that this figure is even less. Hard, almost sports suspension of Swift does not like road flashes. Any bump hurts to the spine. But again, no plastic panel of the Hungarian Japanese issued no sound. Through the volatile swift is easily and easy, and on the go does not hang out and does not fall off the road. As a result, Suzuki dispelled all concerns about its motorcycle.
It's time to summarize our duel. By the ability to overcome obstacles there are no equal Kia Avell Delta. Hyunde is a fast and comfortable car with a complaint with a higher class. It features a soft suspension and comfortable salon. Suzuki Swift is a real find for a small middle-income family. Little, economical machine with transformed salon. And finally, all together are real city cars for every taste. It all depends on your pocket and desires. Choose yourself, the benefit is from what.
