Test Drive Daewoo Nexia (Kletn) 1995 - NV Sedan

Put accents

Impribrant statistics approve: Owners of domestic models are gradually transplanted to imported cars. A typical example of the host of front-wheelwater vases, looking for a car of the same class, but more expensive. Frequently, the first foreign car is chosen from such a pair: Daewoo Nexia or Hyunda-accent
LONG TIME NO SEE?
Both brands Korean, but Nexia is now collected in Uzbekistan, focus in Taganrog. The body is welded and painted well, in the cabin it does not rattle, the emergency light bulbs on the instrument panels during the dough did not light up. These are these little things so lacking domestic models.
Machines belong to different generations, which is visible to the naked eye. The accent does not look like a charming, but the appearance confirms the modern car in front of us. Nexia is hard to hide the age, and many turn away from the old woman for this reason.
Bumpers, painted in the color of the body, now go even inexpensive cars aesthetically, is expensive and impractical. Uzbeks, however, paste rubber moldings on plastic bumps to protect the body with minor contacts. The accommodation of the saving stripes does not have owners worth avoiding parking by sound.
Designers did not break their heads over the instrument panel of the accent: it is pretty banal and unspoken. On the other hand, no worse than many inexpensive cars. Buttons count on the fingers of the rear glass heating, fog lights, accidents, electric circuit breaker. However, the Daewo instrument panel is also not overloaded. Unusually manage the intermittent mode of wiper pauses are regulated by handwheel on the torpedo, and not on the steering wheel lever.
Daewoo can boast a large glove compartment and a comfortable ashtray. By the way, in Hyunda, access to it is overlapped by the advanced cup holders to smoke a cigarette under the coffee, this fact should puzzle. Plastic in the accent nobleness, and the doors slam in a foreign one, without a stray.
Many non-instance at the factory are equipped with regular radio tape recorders. Melomanany will surely find the flaws in the sound. Most completely arranges the quality of musical accompaniment. Accents are offered with audio preparation (four columns and antenna), and players for cassettes or CDs sets a dealer for a fee.
Sitting in the accent is conveniently using only two adjustments, you quickly find the correct position of a good chair. Large drivers will delight long adjustment in the longitudinal direction. A chubby steering wheel can be adjusted in height. Eh, it would be a good truth, Nexia seems even more closely closely located (there is no adjustment, and the rim is thin), or because of the hanging visor above the instrument shield. In addition, in the Taganrog car you can adjust the position of the belt so that he does not prescribe on the neck. In Dae, I could not do this, although the slot in the central rack hints that the strap should ride down and up.
And how do passengers feel in the second row? In the accent is clearly rapidly, the couple in the measure of the fastened people will go comfortably. Nexia's response is a luggage compartment that will easily shut up for an opponent's belt. True, for weightlifting, perhaps, more convenient than Hyunda, the opening is larger and the loading height below. You can fold the back of the rear seat, quickly turning the car into the cargo-passenger.
We will go, do we not see?
Only first set the mirrors. On nonxies, they are without heating and electric drive even in expensive equipment. Accent earns an additional plus for large mirrors during rebuildings do not need to turn their head.
After the tight handler of Nexia, they doubt whether the accent did not break the cable so easily manipulated the parking brake. However, the steering wheel on Daewoo, despite the amplifier, twist is heavier.
Much forgive the accent for the character of the semi-liter engine with a slightly more than a hundred horses. The motor confidently pulls after a thousand revolutions and does not sharpen almost to the limiter. He does not sleep at all to aggressive ride, but willingly respond to the host team quickly accelerate. On his background, the aggregate of Nexia with the same number of valves and cubes seems sluggish. At first it is slowly unwinding and only after three thousand revolutions begins to revive. It is a pity that there are enough bums for a while. Lovers of measured ride is better to stop the choice on Nexia with an eight-boiled unit: This more confidently rides from low revolutions, and the money is asked for less.
Both engines are far from quiet. But in Nexia, the voice is rougher and annoying, the voicing song of the accent on medium and high revs is grained less. The tires are made to sound in sound support: the tires are made: Nexia shod in Continental, the focus of localization suggested Kam.
On the road, Hyunde is more interesting to Daewoo reacts to commands with the steering wheel, less carnating in turns. In addition, the accent is a comfortable suspension: it is softer smoothes irregularities. Weak place of both brake cars. They can not boast neither telight nor informativeness. For reference, accents in improved equipment are equipped with an anti-lock system.
HOW DO YOU THINK?
Hyunda focus on our test was hit by the M / T3 road, and the most affordable Taganrog car (M / T1) is to be thrown with the most stuffed nonxia. But compare the equipment of expensive nonxicacy and cheap accents in the arsenal of both sixteen-precious motors, steering amplifiers, air conditioners. Uzbekka is richer by four electric windows, central locking and radio. What do you think these inexpensive options are more important than modern appearance and interior, a smart motor transformed by the luggage compartment?
On the other hand, the price of the car is only an initial fee. It is no less important how much the car will pull out from the owner along the way of living together. And then the emphasis loses service and spare parts on average at one and a half (sometimes two) times more expensive than Nexia.
The low price is still one of the main trumps of Nexia. These cars in simple equipment are worth the same as the model from the VAZ-2110 family, and they are not expensive to maintain them. But as soon as Daewoo in an attempt to argue with more modern models, it starts to figure out the options, its value is growing, and the attractiveness falls. Our test is confirmed. However, we just put accents decide what to prefer.
