CHEVROLET AVEO (Kalos) Sedan West Drive Sedan

Below the waist

So it's time to save on gasoline, on square meters of parking, on insurance, after all. But is everything so monstrously bad to save on the image? After all, a thirst for nothing. Let this year be generous with novelties in a small grade, in which a couple of good old people lying around. The question, however, is not in the objective technical data of these machines, and even more so in economic expediency. The question, as always, is in the head. Rather, below the belt.
Chevrolet Aveo
D. S.
On the eve of Cruze, the new Aveo should have expected more. Today this machine does not look modern. You open the door and sit on a battles on a chair upholstered with slippery fabric. However, a pleasant and comfortable steering wheel falls into your hands.
However, as is often the case in small cars, in Peugeot, in particular, the mutual location of the steering wheel and the pedal block far from the universal: long -legged people may not be enough for the correct landing. The secondary ergonomics is worked out perfectly: the handles are in their places, and the switches are clearly triggered. You can name the exemplary climate and music. The interior is well worked out and carefully: everything is reliable, soundly and made of good quality plastic.
There is even a remote opening of a gas tank. But things are far from so good with visibility: the driver's mirror was made increasing, which makes you not only that everyone who goes to overtake is already going through your head, but, more serious, the viewing angle is significantly narrowed, and the dead zone behind On the left it becomes so large that it involuntarily makes you turn your head. For a city machine, for which a crowd in a tight stream is the main occupation, this is a serious drawback. The overview forward is constrained by a thick front stand.
The automatic transmission is not bad at all, and the dynamics of acceleration allows us to feel that none of a hundred horses are wandering somewhere to the side, but the chassis works like a pendant of a household car. Clinks, buildup, rolls, soft and non -informative brake. Aveo assault rifle is put only in the expensive LT configuration, making its acquisition not such a budget event. This machine is beneficial in simple trim levels with mechanics.
O. R.
One respondent-man replied: the most kid Chevrolet Aveo, because of the proposed this is the most budget option, but stupidly choose by price qualities, and not by markets of type of image and other nonsense purely kids motivation. Girls, contrary to popular belief, also know how to count money, because too many expenses fall for their lot. From this and the notorious love for economy-class cars. It is not their desire to feel unprotected in front of trucks, humiliate themselves in the stream in front of SUVs and lose at a traffic light with gifted Zhiguli at all. It’s just that girls know how to prioritize and live for themselves, and not work for a car. But everything has a limit. And the Chevrolet Aveo car may suddenly not fit under the bag at all.
Impressive aggressive multi -colored AVEO, at full speed rushing in advertising pictures, is a dream. Reality is paler. The mesh -fed -fed -radiator grille in the sports spirit and even tiny decorative air intake gills in the front rack (where they can least be expected) all this is a props. There is no sport or excitement in the car. The appearance was not so long ago updated, but the model as it was 2003, so it remained. Years were not powerful above her.
Little Aveo among competitors looks the smallest. Budget Aveo against the backdrop of competitors looks the cheapest. The Boil Chevrolet Aveo is not very competitor and all this fashionable, elegant, glossy and glamorous beauties. The whole car was cut down with an ax, and therefore the prices did not dare to stick out above. This is a great success called choice. The choice between a pleasant sequence of numbers is 415,860 rubles for a three -door hatchback with mechanics and 84 hp. and a more aggressive combination of 537 040 rubles for a version of 1.4 liters with an automatic machine.

 
Ford Fiesta
D.S.
The golden middle between sports and comfort. An example of a modern compact in the European taste. Fiesta is all worked out at the latest level. First of all, the chassis.
The cars on compact carts have never drove so comfortably and at the same time so accurately and seriously in adult. The fiesta swallows unevenness, like the French. And steer like the Germans. Despite the modest dimensions and decent passages with a non -wire suspension, the car is controlled with the accuracy of the raspeler, and it does not chat even after the passage of large irregularities at high speed, and the lateral accelerations that the car can always develop, always find themselves higher than expected.
Engine without revelations. He knows his business, but does not make a strong impression either by character or sound. But it clings to the checkpoint perfectly: the gear rates of the transmission are selected excellently, and the lever works with enviable clarity. The brakes will not allow you to enjoy the process, but they stop the car reliably. Only until you flew into uneven asphalt: here, until the muzzle of the machine reaches a flat section, ABS will tickle the nerves.
Fiesta has no sensation of the tone of getting rid of excess weight, which rings in the Japanese, but against all other Fords, an unattainable example of technology, quality, style and comfort.
O. R.
Of all six cars on the test, Fiesta was the only mechanic. This is no coincidence. Before the decisive battle with the Honda Jazz car, the fiesta looked like a clear favorite. The adult and the most male itself was supposed to have a mechanics to win a peremptory victory. Who knew that jazz would so out of his robot. As for the fiesta machine, which appeared relatively recently, it loses Mazda2. In general, he is not bad, if you do not know that Mazda has better. But the mechanical gearbox on the fiesta along the leg even girls clutch pedal light and non -powerful.
In the splendor and gloss of the fiesta there is no equal, it is the most spectacular and the most glossy. But without rhinestones. And only occasionally in the color of Hot Magenta. She is an absolute unisex. And only the interior abound in grace and cute details can be reproached for an overdose of femininity. But since the interior details in standard configuration are colored, including plastic, this interior cannot be reproached for anything inimitably organized by a cheerful and fervent character of the machine.


Honda Jazz
D. S.
The brake performance is monstrous, and the accuracy of their control is supercar. Seriously: only the Audi R8 Grand Prix had the same quality of the brake pedal.
A small 1.4 -fraud engine cheerfully twisted into the very top, and you pull by the right transplant shift petal. The robot wields the clutch excellently, and if you slightly discard the gas at the time of switching, it will be very smooth. Setting robotic clutch a complex thing, however on jazz it is excellent: you are not mistaken either when you touch, nor when you climb on the curb, nor when you rush. Just forget about the automatic transmission mode. His algorithm is terrible: he is not friends with the motor, but does not understand the driver. But this transmission just needs to be used correctly. This is the essence of the mechanic, only without a clutch pedal: such a mechanic with which is easy in traffic jams.
Ergonomics are verified, and the seats are kept exemplary. The chassis is excellent. Jazz is stabilized both on a straight line, and on an arc, and even in the limit on an uneven road. He is neutrally balanced and accepts the maneuver with lightning speed. He rides like a premium-segment, only reduced. However, he is not as premium. He is premium. Not by status, but in fact.
O. R.
To start with the fact that in the EXECTIVE configuration, the Honda Jazz car costs 742,613 rubles. But this is not the end, this is exactly the beginning. Not calculation, but conversation. 742 613 rubles is a lot, but a lot of car is guaranteed for this money. Not cars, not a car, but a serious adult car. Little Jazz this is unexpectedly precisely the Honda, which is loved and respected by those who began their car life before marketers captured our planet. It is getting better, more beautiful, more expensive, better and more thought out than now. He is a innocent in a good sense of the word, in the original sense of the word car. He is older than pink or blue sliders. It is for the age when an elegant black may be to face, and the white shirt is worn without a saliva. The only controversial moment is a robotic gearbox. This is a mechanic without a clutch pedal, not a machine gun. Holding petals must be used, otherwise it will be slow and uncomfortable. They need to be used correctly, and then it will be fast. Due to a number of engineering reasons, JAZZ donated the previous generation of the previous generation of the previous generation, and with them part of the customers who still expect complete automatism from an automatic box.

 
Hyundai i20
D. S.
New Hyundai hot sentence. The machine is especially good if you need a budget compact with an automatic exceptionally profitable offer. The concern is actively developing, and the quality of the development and manufacture of its cars is only slightly lags behind the European one.
The predecessor I20 was Getz A successful car, which gained well -deserved popularity. And the heir will not force the ancestor to blush: at first glance it is clear that the design of the car did not lie on the shelf, waiting for his wings. The machine is very good. This is not a mazda supergary, but there is nothing to blame it for: the machine gun similar in character worked on the three -generation three -year -old. On a flat road, the chassis is kept well-haired, quite an adult way. The suspension is dense, without jelly. The machine is controlled accurately and without large delays, and the tires are tenacious for asphalt.
It grazes I20 on irregularities: when you get on a bad road, the difference with advanced Japanese and European machines becomes obvious. The car in detail transfers to the riders accurate information about each paving stones, however, after large irregularities, it talks for some time with the connivance of shock absorbers, which at once lost rigidity on a large course of the rod: the combination is not obvious. The exact setting of more serious shock absorbers would make it more comfortable without loss in handling. Good brake effectiveness and their convenience. Moreover, the drive works more precisely the more actively you slow down. This also applies to steering, the amplifier of which in the parking lot does not have enough performance, but it works well at speed. The machine has an active regime: when you straighten out the roads and irregularities, half of the I20 deficiencies simply evaporate.
O. R.
In the arranged social request, only very few women managed to determine the sexual belonging of the Hyundai I20 car. One young lady called him suitable for girls because of his light green color. But even that would not have happened if Mazda2 is salad. The second travels on Ancient Gets and her answer in favor of the i20 cunningly wished him. And one respondent, in this case, his floor does not matter, said that the I20 car, being a completely new model, had not yet managed to form stereotypes. And while it remains just an unknown machine and, in essence, not particularly interesting. It cannot be blamed for something, it is not a sensation. Therefore, there is nothing to contain. The choice in its favor will determine the price, and the floor of the buyer will determine its color.
From the point of view of a male buyer who selects a budget option for himself, Hyundai I20 is good. The appearance and design of the interior is so neutral and unpretentious that not a single person convicts the owner of this hatchback in a lack of severe masculinity. Wide seats are suitable for people of different complexions. And 20 options for I20 sets even more expand the audience of the model, rather random than targeted. 20 levels of completion just right to please absolutely everyone. Judging by the tested instance, this is the super -task of the new Korean car, which should compete with the Japanese and European regulars of this segment. Hyundai i20 is assembled from various quotes, albeit pulled out of the context of the original sources, but with a special cynicism of their own weapons themselves.
 
 
Mazda2
D. S.
Mazda2 has changed a lot for the better, since it came out, and it was already good. Today, the deuce can be safely recommended to those who want to ride an active style with an automatic transmission.
She does not have a manual switching mode not because someone was fertilized, but because it does not occur to anyone to switch the programs to manually with this quality of work both mechanics and electronics. Work and adaptation algorithms for driving is magnificent. An important option for sports regime. And this is a real sport. Like Drive a real drive. The transmission enables the motor to show its best qualities in the entire speed range and in any mode of movement. And the management of quality deceleration is greatly behind: both brake productivity and their accuracy on the four. The pedal is soft, and ABS does not welcome irregularities.
The chassis is great in Russia. Small wheels and small dimensions do not interfere with Mazda2 to feel great even on uneven highways: you may not be afraid of salts and not wait for the loss of stability: a long -flowing suspension perfectly works out and pits and tossing at any speed. Toyo tires do not differ in high coupling properties and versatility: on dry warm asphalt, they work at the level of European competitors, but in the rain they become slippery. The car turns not as high quality as it goes in a straight line. There are questions for ergonomics: climate and acoustics adjustment, as well as setting up simple seats are not very convenient. On the side of Mazda, first of all, the best automatic machine in the compact cash desk. If you want to ride the machine, do not look for the best.
O. R.
Time goes on, and new good cars appear. Against their background, it was still relatively recently unattainable both in technology and design of Mazda2 at times in the shadows. But it does not seem ugly, imperfect or boring. This test passes perfectly. She has the best machine gun, she is the sweetest and prettier. She is the easiest. And in our test, like a parody of itself, it is already red. She has the most toy interior, and some can even be touched by him. She is undoubtedly the female of all. And it is just amazing that these days something can not cause disputes, doubts, or shock. The girl turns out to be a girl, not a serial transvestite maniac. It is very cute that at least this time neither the devil nor his baby jump out of the box.
Mazda2 is not one at all in the market now, and many colorful news of the current year are objectively worthy rivals. But, washing his eyes from different-color confetti and tearing a strangling serpentine from his neck, I certainly want to remember about an old friend who, as you know, at all times is better than two new ones. Mazda2 has passed the test of time. May she not become and become a hit of sales. In Russia, none of this segment will become. Although there is a general positive dynamics. And even the ability of 42 men surveyed, albeit under torture, to call one male car among knowingly Babsky is a positive dynamics. And about the fact that they do not choose Mazda2, there is an anecdote. God invited Adam and Eve to choose to write standing. Adam I cried out!, Then Eve asked in confusion: what should I do? Brains, Eve, brains! God answered.

 
Opel Corsa
D. S.
Opel Corsa is not a beginner. Despite the experience, the baby has something to offer today and in the coming years: a strong European level of engineering and quality and a balanced setting of running properties. Opel Corsa is completely devoid of sharp corners in its character. A little by little, and these ingredients are mixed in gold proportions. Whatever ask, she will do everything right. Corsa did not reach unattainable heights in anything, but did not fail anywhere.
The traditional machine operates in a pleasant style: it does not twitch and does not sleep, does not jump from transmission to transmission, when it pleases, but allows the motor to work at the top when necessary. You simply forget about him, despite the fact that 90 liters. With. Not as much as I would like for a car with a machine gun. Alas, until the 150-horsepower GSI in the line of engine solutions is not the most powerful of the usual (without fast nameplate) Corsa.
The suspension perfectly practices irregularities up to large ones: both its course and energy intensity allow you to not look too carefully at the feet. The level of comfort is the best after Fiesta. At the same time, Corsa is controlled, albeit without sports notes, but exclusively correctly. She does not chat on the arc, and she willingly accepts the maneuver. The rolls and delays are noticeable and significant to match good comfort, but the stiffness of all elastic elements is carefully selected so that the driver is confident in the car when he was driving Corsa.
O. R.
This model has a teenage version of GSI (participant in a sports car this year), and a very adult OPC (winner of last year's sports car). For the image of basic configurations, these are very important five cents. Appearing three years ago, Little Corsa made a lot of noise. And now, even against the background of completely new competitors, it does not lose much. The interior decoration for black varnish is still stylish. Still not tired of surprising such wonderful options as, for example, heating the steering wheel.
She is a cory, and she is a girl. At the same time, even in such a butt and beyond the measures of the protruding city as Moscow, more and more boys are not only in the passenger place, but also at the wheel of these cars. This is almost the triumph of reason! And this is the unconditional merit of designers and engineers from Opel and in many respects of these four C.M.O.N.-Urodov, also from Opel, who were huddled in advertising, glued girls and lived with pleasure with pleasure. The machine is funny, and it is easy with it. She is reliable, understandable and obedient. It is also comfortable and quite dynamic. Moreover, even the machine gun is comfortable and allows you to confidently overtake not only trolleybuses. The only, and even tangible only with particularly sensitive persons minus excessive prevalence. Opel Corsa in this sense is the same as Mazda3: Answering the question what is your car?, As if you are saying a car. Corsa became a household name to the whole V-class this is both honorable and dangerous.

Summary
Social -provision. 84 people (42 women and 42 men of traditional orientation) aged 18 to 45 years (mainly from 25 to 35 years) took part, of which they already have a car, and a quarter of the respondents are going to buy a car in the future. Among the six cars participating in the test, the respondents were supposed to highlight one of the most men's and one of the most female.
M no man called Chevrolet Aveo a female car, not a single woman called Aveo female. 10 men and 8 women called her male. The gender is determined, there is no doubt.
Well, not a single man called Mazda2 male, 18 men called her female, 22 women called her female and only two men's women. The gender is determined, there is no doubt.
Unisex 8 men consider the Ford Fiesta male, 10 female. 12 women consider her female and only two male. Depending on the color of the car, he has equal chances to be on both sides of the barricades.
Unisex not a single man remembered the Hyundai I20, three women called her female and three male. Bad chances to be bought. Good chances to be correctly understood.
The problem of 22 men called Honda Jazz a men's machine, and only 8 women agreed with this. Four men and two women consider Jazz female. Men of traditional orientation definitely want to ride Jazz, but women are not ready for this.
Without problems, 20 women called Opel Corsa male, and only two men agreed with this. 10 men called her female, and only two women consider her female. Women are ready to see a man driving Corses, but men are not ready to ride it.
