Daewoo Nexia (Kletn) 1995 test drive - NV sedan
"Nexia" and "Clio" - an occasion for thoughts
What are guided by when buying an inexpensive new foreign car?![](http://www.bibipedia.info/media/photo_testi/19730.jpg)
A couple of Dau Nexia and Renault Clio Symbol (see ZR, 2000, No. 6) was selected by us for similar ideological reasons. Moreover, we deliberately cut the budget in order to bring the cost of cars to the price of Russian products. Both cars are very vigorously wraps kilometers by the odometers are selected to the mark of a large (20,000 km) then.

Another interesting feature was manifested. Any, the most insignificant failure in a slender system, the driver immediately causes irritation. It doesn’t matter whether it is a pierced wheel or a screaming door upholstery, a desire immediately appears to criticize all this immediately, and fixing it, forget it like a bad dream. So, the most serious breakdown to Clio, the refusal of the turning relay immediately caused a feeling, if you like, joyful indignation: it began! However, as it turned out at the maintenance station, the defect is characteristic of the entire batch of cars sold with ours, so that the sensation did not work: the relay was changed under the warranty, so to speak, in a planned manner. A colleague traveling to Nexia is still complaining of excessive oil appetite: she eats around a liter of engine oil for interservice 10,000 km. Crime, in general, no, but you yourself understand

It should be noted that the process of driving on the symbol, in general, is not monitoring. Comfortable suspensions, a power steering, a painful motor, a good acoustic comfort make this car very convenient, especially in the city. Here, Clio is like a fish in water: it sensitively performs all the driver’s commands, without requiring frequent gear. You need to adapt only to too nervous the brake pedal that requires

Dau Nexia, on the contrary, is better adapted to long trips. The stretched row of gear ratios in the box, more rigid, not inclined to swing the suspension body, other landing of the driver and much more stable behavior at high speed allow, without unbending, to sit at the wheel much more time. Here, there are much more freer, there is some reserve of space in height and sides, which, in general, is preferable in long-distance travel than the tightness of the urban small-leaf. However, the venerable age of the model is felt not only in appearance. A sluggish brake pedal, an uncomfortable clutch, a fuzzy gear shift mechanism, some kind of strangled, as if the engine begging the engine is not only deprived of a hint of side support, but simply breathing in a frailly one, at every attempt to sit comfortably.

Probably, many again have a reasonable question: so what is the real advantage of an inexpensive foreign car? Indeed, by and large, neither one nor the other car is deprived of flaws. Moreover, if you compare them with the same dozen, especially sixteen -valve, I venture to assume that the latter will be not only frozen and more economical, but also much more convenient.
Let us, however, abandoned the ceremonial numbers in characteristics and look at the domestic car differently. Outside, the cracks and a non -binding of details, in the cabin, dull fabrics and poorly fitted plastic. And if you dig a little deeper? With difficulty, the working ventilation system, where forever jamming damn it interferes with normal air circulation, creaking and winding windshields, frantically twitting at high speed, suffering from chronic tires and wheels, living a restless life of starters, expansion tanks, this list can be continued endlessly. Agree, all this requires strength, nerves, and most importantly.
A foreign alternative so far allows you to exist with a minimum of physical and temporary costs. Let's see how long this is enough. z
The tightness of the doorway of Renault (left) is better, Nexia (on the right) spilled stronger.
