Test Drive Ford Streetka 2003 - 2006 Convertible

Trifle - and nice

You need to live beautifully not only want, but also to be able to. Of course, there will always be people for whom the image and style are becoming more expensive than money, turning into an end in itself: life for the sake of style in our time the phenomenon is quite common. But, thank God, not widespread.
 

Nevertheless, a stylish person is always perceived as a person succeeding. In theory, follow the fashion means to be more attractive than others. In all senses.

 

How can I imagine a successful girl? Now High-Life in the most common features look like this: Fendi, Jet Set, Toyuterar, Glamor, Lyamur, V. Modern young lady is not afraid to stand out! Studs higher, perfume fogish, lipstick, pour, plushmed softer and so if the whole beauty is unearthly yes put in a cabriolet, it will be even stunning! Pedestrians, career there! Especially on zebra. Do not get into the black stripe.

  


Loves of all romantically tuned young species teddy bear. After all, in essence, the bear is what? This is an infinitely chubby, charmingly gentle and absolutely devoted creature. Have you ever heard a tear stories about the young lady, treacherously abandoned by their bears? Rather, on the contrary: Soft toys is the most real risk group. A bunny threw the mistress of life, alas, sometimes so cruel and merciless to silent good-natured creatures!
 

However, continue. The bear is also a symbol of strength and masculinity enclosed in a friendly shell. That's where there is a widespread sympathy from the beautiful sex to these creatures with a set of small balls in a bouquer (for the development of small motility) and sawdust in the head (for highly efficient mental activity). So here.

  

Ford Streetka He is like that teddy bear. He is also very cute, and extremely pretty but at the same time pretty strong (if more precisely, 95-strong), with powerful paws-wheels. And even a little bit the smallest tolik aggressive: he is still a bear! But completely nor the droplets are not serious, but on the contrary, funny. And even a slightly awesome: the roof goes from him at once or two!
 

And there is a rigid plastic torpedo from the cheap Ford sample 1995 in an incredible combination with expensive leather chairs: Streetka was in the pathoral execution of Luxury, in which the hostess, except the skin, also relies with the CD receiver with air conditioning. Chairs, by the way, excellent: completely devoid of plush softness, but with tangible lateral support. If not to abuse the palpation of the central panel, then in general the tactile sensations will be pleasant: this is facilitated by a grip leather steering wheel and a chic ball of a matte metal, strung on the length of the gearbox. Les-and-inna lever
 
Long but clear. Translations stick to exactly as politeness of kings. In addition, all five steps are located pretty close to each other, and therefore the machine is gaining the course of a very loaf. Yes, Streetka Cheerful Bear. And noisy, by the way: the sculptures and whiskers comprise it is not bad sometimes, yes! In an open car, feelings are exacerbated. In the city of the stern clearly comes the glow of the exhaust, pleasant to rumor. Yes, and to the touch as if too: with a growing speed, on the highway, when the wind scores all other sound sources, the vibration on the lever of the checkpoint very accurately transfers the rotation of the motor. By itself, the configured exhaust is no longer heard, but he, nevertheless, is invisibly present.
 

Streetka In general, the same rider! Despite the fact that the chassis here goes back to the roots to Ford Fiesta of the beginning of the 90s, the roadster is very relevant. Handling to become a rude motor: turning the steering wheel and the baby dives in turn without delay and rolls. It is felt that the car is very light. And this lightness turns on, on the one hand, tenacity (in which there is also a considerable merit of the wheels of a completely adult dimension), and with another mediocre smoothness. This is, of course, how to see. After all, it is possible to declare with complete confidence that the strika has excellent stiffness of the same move! However, this is obviously already an amateur.

 

But the lover, most likely, will not ride. What for? Where to? Also, you look, Toyuteririk pops up on the passenger seat! Only, only on the seat! For other places in the machine are not provided for: a manicure set will fit in the glove compartment, and the trunk is here, however, the trunk for the convertible of this size is surprisingly in surprise. But the dog in the trunk is not commenfo, right?

The roof of the Fordika is ordinary tarpaulin, and it consists in the old man: manually. Not fashionable. But quickly, if you adapt. Long nails? Be careful. Oops! Well, it is fixable. Gel. In winter, there will be less problems: you can put a hard top on the stitch. And in the summer you can and so: hard bottom, soft top. And even without it.

During the dough, the car is insured by Rosno.
