Test drive Chevrolet Rezzo 2004 - 2008 -

House, lazy house

The square meter of the living area of \u200b\u200bthe car, as a rule, is not cheap. But families with a limited budget should not be upset with Chevrolet have a very tempting offer.



The main exam
Everyone knows in the new house the first to run the cat. Where the Usato-striped settles, here and for the bed the place is. I propose to invite mom to the car first to the car. She will like it, you will be happy, not like it ... It is better to look for another model.
 

Mine, in fact, anyway, how much a vehicle costs and how it looks, what a motor it has and how the gears switch. It is also indifferent to controllability and dynamics, the main thing for it is the ease of planting. I listened to a bunch of unflattering reviews to my nine, and then Lancer. But RECSO Mom was caressed. And the doorway is wide, and the threshold is low, and there is no need to bend. Here it is, the formula of happiness.
 

It also seems to mom that all our relatives should constantly drive in my car. And then again Chevrolet did not disappoint her. A small -looking car with a length of only 435 cm turned out to be quite spacious. If the driver and passenger is ninety -meter tall, do not hesitate, the same Dyldes will be shed in the back. In the reatszo, not just a sofa, but three separate chairs, the middle of which can be moved back and forth.
 

I haven't said anything about the mandatory autumn visits to the market. Fortunately, Reatszo escaped executions in full, otherwise his suspension would have had to be very difficult. But even in a 5-seater version, as it turned out, three or four full bag of all kinds of agricultural products can be immersed in compactiven. When I said that the seats of the last row not only formed, but generally easily move out of the cabin, and then the root crops will fit into a whole vegetable store, my mother was delighted.
 



I drive all my
Today, many designers are trying to turn compactwones into a kind of pantry. Sometimes there are so many pockets and containers in the car that you can break your head, inventing what other unnecessary trifle to cram here. Rezzo also turned out to be very homeless: a glove box, door pockets, two spacious boxes in the floor in front of the rear seats, a rag and a bottle of a driver's seat and in the sidewalls of the trunk. And the cup holders are as many as seven.
 

 
The driver's seat is moderately tough and equipped with a folding armrest
 

The backs of all three seats are adjusted along the angle of inclination, but only the average is shifted back and forth


What else pleased despite the five -year age of the model, the interior of the Reatszo can not be called boring. Of course, it is not chic. The plastic, say, does not differ in bourgeois softness. However, the gray plastic of the torpedo and the door panels, in my opinion, is competently diluted with matte inserts for aluminum. It looks very nice. Moreover, dark, considerable materials for family cars are what is needed. It is not necessary to follow the child with a shudder of the heart in anticipation that he God forbid to shed the stake or drop ice cream.

 
   
All operating modes of the wiper are concentrated on the steering wheel switch
 

One of the many cup holders is moved out of the central console
 

The middle seat of the sofa can be turned into a dining table


Convenient and driving. Having lowered the chair lower and moving up and down the steering column, I quickly found an almost optimal position for myself. Why almost? The tan’s rim nevertheless overlapped the upper speedometer sector, so I often had to tilt his head. But the attitude to the driver’s right hand is more reverent. If she gets tired of holding on to the rim of the steering wheel, you can rely on the folding armrest. No less pleasant, how simple and convenient to communicate with air conditioning and audio system. There are music control buttons on the steering wheel. And there is no need to reach for the steeple air conditioner, they are located in comfortable proximity.

 
     
You can’t call the glove box as roomy. But under the driver's seat there is a convenient tray
 

In the sides of the trunk, cavities for small things are provided
 
 
Having folded the pillows and backs, we get a flat loading site
 

In the floor behind the front chairs are two rather spacious boxes




Get to know the breeze
Nevertheless, for many, the appearance of the dwelling is sometimes more important than its cozy decoration. How many nerves we spend sometimes, stubbornly looking at the beautiful house of the neighbors, built according to the foreign project. With certain assumptions, this applies to cars. If universally recognized masters attached your hands to your acquisition, then nothing can be nicer. You don’t have to go far for an example. Once in a car dealership, I saw how two adult uncles were ready to buy Hyundai-take for only the inscription of Pininfarin.
 

Incidentally, the recit was drawn in the same body atelier. However, I got the impression that individual parts of the body were originally designed for different cars: the air intake would perfectly suit the sports car, the radiator grille with nostrils of the SUV. And then suddenly the urgent work fell to come up with a compactiven. Here the guys, nothing, got their sketches, they corrected something, and the matter is in the hat! And to top it off, the name was invented by a standing breeze. That is how the recess is translated from Italian.
 

It turned out spectacular. True, in some angles it is scary. But the attacks of aesthetes can easily fend off the magic word Pininfarin. The main thing is not to remember that the Chevrolet Retzo was a couple of years ago Daewoo.
 

Although why was it? He is still being released in Korea. And here, in fact, there is nothing to be shy. Chevro-deu was collected no worse than many Americans, and in terms of reliability, Korean cars in solid middle peasants. But he will run around the car and reason. After all, the house is on wheels, so my immutable debt to check it on the go.
 



Investment in real estate
Pushkin’s well -known phrase that the serving of muses does not tolerate fuss, can be applied to Rezzo. Alas, the car does not have a machine gun, and you have to deal with a lever of a mechanical box. You need to handle it calmly, with verified movements by switching gear. Previously, it is advisable to practice to remember where the third, where the second, fourth. Confuse anything terrible, because the motor burns, when switching to a step above it does not die out. However, traction does not mean a vigor at all. More or less, I managed to keep up with the stream only up to 100 km/h. To accelerate further, you will need excerpt and patience. It seems that the whole one needs to trample the gas pedal to achieve 140 km/h. However, to be desired from a sufficiently large car with a 90-horsepower engine would be a great impudence.
 

Yes, and the developers themselves hint so that you are in no hurry. The green sector of the tachometer that limits the zone from 1,500 to 2500 indicates an economical drive mode. So, two and a half thousand in the fifth gear corresponds to a speed of 90 km/h. Another reminder of the complex of annoying noise: from the motor at high speeds and tires at speeds for 120.
 

However, the slower you go, the more opportunity to consider the landscape outside the window. Fortunately, the rejoen reacts slowly to the commands of the ruts, as if immersed in a trance yogi. Adequate feedback is also not felt. The car calls in the turns, greatly rolling out, and swinging on the waves. However, the soft suspension almost completely isolates passengers from potholes and asphalt joints. The car also rolls smoothly on the primer. So if you do not try to portray a racer, you can even enjoy driving.
 

And if you recall how much reatsso it costs, it can be forgiven both a melancholy character and a controversial appearance. This convenient and functional compactwane with a much more spacious salon is more affordable than many golf class cars with comparable power motors. Chevrolet can be bought for $ 17 020, and in a very good configuration. Yes, in our market there are cheaper compactives. However, these machines will not be faster, and the set of their equipment will be more modest. Like it or not, the reaco in terms of price/equipment ratio for today is the best offer.
    
All inclusive

Ringing their heads, deciding what they need and what is not very good, buyers do not have to. In the basic configuration, the car is equipped very decently. In the car for $ 17 020, four airbags, ABS, air conditioning, CD magnet with control keys on the steering wheel, electric windows and heating mirrors, fog lights and central castle. And having added only $ 800, you can equip the chevrolet with cast discs and climate control instead of the air conditioner. Yes, and for metallic, they ask for a child's 330.
 
PER

Convenient and roomy interior, rich equipment, attractive price, good build quality, comfortable suspension
