"Barguzina" I bought - life does not teach me ...
Barguzin I bought - life does not teach me ... Or maybe a bus?
The choice even among the available domestic models today is very diverse. What prefer? I suggest, maybe unexpected, but not deprived of everyday logic response - or rather, your answer is a response.
From early childhood, cars and roads were attracted me. Probably, it was necessary to become a truck driver, but the fate was different - nevertheless, the Gypsy craving for travel was not lost. Rose of the family, a variety of hobbies appeared - the usual car became small. Imagine such a picture: nine with five passengers, on the roof of Windsurfer, behind the trailer with sleeping tents, topped with a huge dog-booth! Even the wagon will not help - three children, whatever the angels they are, in the backseat will inevitably move away from abroad.
Maybe mini-Ven? But I would probably change the all-wheel drive transmission of the only available VAZ Hope. And if the seven-party Barguzin GAZ 2217 (SMS, 1999, No. 10)? Let it already be a minibus - I need this! In size and maneuverability, it is almost no different from the Volga. At an altitude of 2100 mm, not in any garage will enter, but I was lucky - the gate was with a margin. It is quite sympathetic outside and less than other sable, similar to the bus or truck - it is not formed to bring children to the circus in the circus, a wife in a store, to go for business yourself. Every day to dangle in such a chest to work, perhaps too - well, not everyone is required. Product Facial
I put an eye on the most accessible modification of GAZ 2217-104 with the CMZ-406 carburetor motor. Prices for it in Nizhny Novgorod begin with 205 thousand rubles, in the capital - thousand ten more expensive. There are also GAZ 2217-304 for 260 thousand with Turbodiesel GAZ-560, but such a choice is justified only intensive exploitation - I can cover the difference in price only to a pension.
According to the factory classification GAZ 2217 - Minibus Suite. Equipment one-only: plastic protective apron on the bottom of the body, fog lights, power steering, adjustable over the angle of inclination and length (!) Steering column, audio preparation with four speakers. And also a headlight corrector, an additional heater in the cabin, a glass hatch in the roof. In general, only color remains to choose.
WHAT IS INSIDE? Blimey! Barguzin Salon - with a small room: length 2500 mm, width 1800, height 1330 - what you need! You can even move from place to place, nourished. Five comfortable Volgov chairs, some armrests. In the middle of the folding table, even with a lamp - fine: the children will surely lay out toys here, and the wife will cover for lunch. A velor's upholstery looks like, and the curtains can be burned down from the world if you want to relax. By the way, there is even an adult - the width is across the width.
And then I will let the arrows in the address of those who designed the salon - they obviously did not take into account my interests! All seats tightly screwed to the floor, and it thoroughly deprives the owner of the opportunity to adapt the car to specific needs. But it is precisely a variety of transformation options attract foreign mini-venany and minibuses. This plant is not provided - just a few unnecessary holes in the floor! Independent redevelopment is prohibited by the rules. Show me, gentlemen designers, that imaginary businessman, whose victim I fell? It is for his business negotiations that the salon coupe is intended.
If you leave in it, everything is as it is, you have to put up with offensive shortcomings - for example, go backwards in the middle row. Fifteen minutes in trolleybus wherever nothing went, but a few hours on the highway - unnatural! Yes, and I do not need seven places, five enough, but in order to with all the amenities. The backs of the seats of the third row are deprived of adjustments on the angle of inclination, and what could be more pleasant than to lean back in a crowded trip? The cabin and the salon are separated by a low partition - please bypass the street. And the trunk is a church on laughter for such a huge car! Yes, half overcame with a spare wheel - really it was impossible to attach it under the floor? How rides?
I will be familiar with the sign for a long time and I love to ride it: the landing is high, the review is excellent, the driver's seat is comfortable. The powerful 406th engine is a guarantee of good dynamic qualities: even among the cars you do not feel flawed. It is necessary to get used to the roll - at first moving along the road, like drunk: the slightest movement includes the hydraulicel, which begins to rotate the wheels right there. More than two tons of curb mass explains a very high fuel consumption in the city - 15-18 l / 100 km. However, on the highway in economy mode, I was laid in the top ten - this indicator is more important to me. On the waves
it is noticeably swinging the nose - the front shock absorbers are weak, and on the irregularities throwing the stern - for the spring minibus it would be worth it to be softer than for a van. Barguzin, like everyone else, mediocre passability - I stuck on it in a completely shallow dirt or a snowy caress. The reason in a small load on the drive axis in the empty of the machine and the weak noses of the motor: when trying to go, the swaths stalls, and when the gas suits the wheels in the slip. By the way, it is based on a small snowball or ice, a common delivery van Mercedes-Sprinter can be equipped with a differential of high friction - it is interesting, will it soon be thought up to gas soon?
If not Barguzin, what?
It is possible to fight with him for my sympathy and wallet can only hope VAZ 2120 - it is cheaper by about 15 thousand rubles. There are still Taganrog Doninvest Orion M, he also Citroen Berlingo - also spacious enough, but one and a half times more expensive. And imported classmates - and at all three or four times. Maybe take some used transit?
Hope VAZ 2120: 1.8 l, 57 kW. Price - 198-205 thousand rubles.
Doninvest Orion M: 1.4 l, 55 kW. Price - 350 thousand rubles.
Ford Transit Combi: 2.0, 55 kW. The price in a comparable configuration is 714 thousand rubles. ($ 23,800).
Interesting detail
1. Barguzin, a height of 2100 mm, not in any garage will enter.
2. Volgov's chairs with armrests are comfortable, sorry, do not pick up adjustments.
3. In the middle of the cabin - a pretty folding table.
4. Half and without that small trunk takes a spare wheel.
5. Huge hood slots have their advantage - fingers will not fit.
6. The step is highlighted by a special lamp, a cabin heater is hidden behind the bulkhead.
SERVICE
Editorial Sable (on Mechanics The same Barguzin) had a murderer rate of reliability - 3000 km run between visits to the service! There, it is clear, you do not go through the trifles. The lion's share of failures took place on the ZMZ-406 motor and the steering hydraulic power supply pump - this is the least reliable units. The small breakdowns did not have a number. Maybe something has changed since then? I don't find confirmations: on a new car, something rattles in the front panel, from somewhere the fasteners and plastic plugs fall out, the transfers are turned on with an effort, knocking chassis ... I'm afraid, for the warranty year or 30 thousand km will have to still Contain the track on the service. And there, help God, at the end of the guarantee, most owners go to self-service. In general, Barguzin is a car for those who are not spoiled by foreign cars and did not forget where the hands should grow. I just like it - sorry, without reciprocity. It is painful that these rakes are pretty ...
