Test Drive Hyundai I20 since 2009 hatchback

Below belt

So it's time to save on gasoline, on square meters of parking, on insurance, in the end. But is everything so monstrously bad to save on the image? After all, the thirst for nothing. Let this year turned out to be generous on the novelties in a small class, in which a couple of good old stunions were lying on. The question, however, is not the objective technical data of these machines and the more economically feasibility. The question is, as always, in the head. Rather, below the belt.
Chevrolet Aveo.
D. S.
On the eve of Cruze, from the new Aveo should have been waiting for more. Today, this car does not look modern. You open the door and along the bus sitting on the chair, upholstered with slippery cloth. However, a pleasant and comfortable steering wheel fall towards you.
However, as often happens in small cars, in Peugeot, in particular, the mutual location of the steering wheel and the pedal block is far from universal: the departure of the steering wheel of long-legged people may not be enough for the right landing. The secondary ergonomics worked on perfectly: the knobs in their places, and the switches are triggered clearly. You can call the exemplary and climate and music block. The interior is well developed and carefully: everything is reliable, good and made of plastic of good quality.
There is even a remote opening of the gas tank. But with the visibility of things, it is not so good: the driver's mirror has been done by increasing, why you not only seem that everyone who goes on overtaking is already going through your head, but also more seriously, the viewing angle is significantly narrowed, and a dead zone from behind On the left it becomes so big that it involuntarily makes itching his head. For a city typewriter, for which the main occupation in a dense stream is a serious drawback. The overview is thrown into a thick front counter.
The automatic transmission is not at all bad, and the dynamics of overclocking makes it possible to feel that none of the hundred horses wanders somewhere aside, but the chassis works like a suspension car. Kleki, rich, rolls, soft and non-informative brake. The machine on Aveo put only on an expense configuration of LT, making it acquiring a not so budget event. This machine is beneficial in simple equipment with mechanics.
O. R.
One respondent is a man replied: the most Patzanskaya Chevrolet Aveo, because of the most budget options proposed, and stupidly choose on price qualities, and not on the imposed marketers of fairy tales like the image and other nonsense purely Patrasan motivation. Girls, contrary to popular believing, also know how to count money, because too much spending falls on their share. From this, the notorious love of the economy class machine. Not at all their desire to feel unprotected in front of the trucks, to humiliate in the stream in front of SUVs and lose on the traffic lights to the broken Zhigulm, is not at all. Just girls know how to place priorities and live for themselves, and not work on the car. But everything has a limit. And the Car Chevrolet Aveo suddenly may not at all go under the bag.
Impressive aggressive multicolored Aveo, all the supports rushing on advertising pictures, this is a dream. Reality paler. Mesh Falseradiator grille in the sporting spirit and even tiny decorative air intake gills in the field of the front rack (where their least can be expected) All this is a butafory. There is no sport nor Azart in the car. Appearance not so long ago updated, but the model as was 2003, it remained. Years were not domineering over her.
Little Aveo among competitors looks like small. Budget Aveo against the background of competitors looks cheapest. CHEVROLET AVEO Patzanskaya is not a good competitor to all this fashionable, elegant, glossy and glamorous beauties. The machine is all cut down with an ax, and therefore prices did not dare to stick out above. This is a big luck called the choice. The choice between a pleasant sequence of numbers is 415,860 rubles for three-door hatchback with mechanics and 84 hp and a more aggressive combination of 537 040 rubles per version of 1.4 liters with a machine gun.

 
Ford Fiesta.
D.S.
Golden middle between sports and comfort. A sample of a modern compact in the European Tseus. Fiesta All worked in the new level. First of all, the chassis.
Never have more cars on compact carts as comfortable and at the same time so accurately and seriously on adult. Fiesta swallows irregularities like the French. And rulitsy as the Germans. Despite the modest dimensions and decent moves of non-rigid suspension, the machine is controlled with the accuracy of the raysfeneder, and it does not chat even after the passage of large irregularities at high speed, and the side accelerations that the car can develop in turn, always turn out to be higher than expected.
Engine without revelations. He knows his business, but a strong impression does not produce neither character or sound. But perfectly cling to the checkpoint: the gear ratios of the transmission are selected excellent, and the lever works with enviable definition. The brakes will not allow you to enjoy the process, but they stop the car reliably. Only until you flew to uneven asphalt: here, while the muzzle of the machine does not reach the smooth area, the abs will tick the nerves.
In Fiesta, there is no feeling of a tone of getting rid of excess weight, which rings in the Japanese, but against all other Ford unattainable sample technologies, quality, style and comfort.
O. R.
Of all six cars on the dough, the only mechanics turned out to be Fiesta. It is no coincidence. To the decisive contraction with the Honda Jazz car Fiesta looked like a clear favorite. The most adult and male itself was supposed to have a mechanic to win the desired victory. Who knew that Jazz would figure out her robot. As for the fiesta machine, which appeared relatively recently, he loses Mazda2. In general, it is not bad if you do not know that Mazda is better. But the mechanical gearbox on the palietes on the leg even girls clutch pedal is light and noncain.
In the brilliance and gloss Fieseta there is no equal to it the most spectacular and most glossy. But without rhinestone. And only occasionally in the color of Hot Magenta. She is an absolute unisex. And only the interior, replete with gracefulness and cute details, can be reproached in overdose by feminine. But since the details of the interior are standard, including plastic, including plastic, this interior cannot be able to reproach it is inimitable organic than the cheerful and perky nature of the machine.


Honda Jazz.
D. S.
The performance of the brakes is monstrous, and the control accuracy is supercar. Seriously: At the Grand Prix, the Audi R8 had the same quality of the brake pedal.
The small 1,4-liter engine is cheerfully twisted at the very top, and you pull for the right gear shift petal. The robot carries the clutch perfectly, and if you slightly discard the gas at the time of switching, it will be quite smooth. Setting up robotic clutch complex thing, however on jazz, it is excellent: you are not mistaken when you touch, nor when we climb on the border, nor when you rush. Just forget about automatic transmission mode. His algorithm is terrible: the engine is not friendly, and the driver does not understand. But this transmission is just necessary to use correctly. This is a mechanical essence, only without pedal of clutch: such a mechanic with which is easy in traffic jams.
Ergonomics is recovered, and the chair holds the exemplary. Chassis excellent. Jazz is stable and on a straight line, and on the arc, and even in the limit on an uneven road. It is neutrally balanced and lightningly takes the maneuver. It goes like a premium segment machine, only doubled. However, it is not like premium. He is premium. Not according to status, but in essence.
O. R.
Start with the fact that in the configuration Executive Car Honda Jazz costs 742 613 rubles. But this is not the end, it is the beginning. Not calculation, but conversations. 742,613 rubles is a lot, but for this money a lot of car is guaranteed. No cars, not a car, but a serious adult car. Little jazz. this is unexpectedly exactly the Honda, which those who began their car life love and respect and respect the marketers seized our planet. It is getting better in it, more beautiful, more expensive, better and more thought out than is accepted now. He is intact in the good sense of the word, in the original sense of the word car. It is an adult of pink or blue sliders. He is for the age when it may be an elegant black face, and a white shirt is furious without a whirl. Single controversial moment Robotic gearbox. This is a mechanic without a clutch pedal, not a machine. Steel petals need to be used, otherwise it will be slowly and uncomfortable. They need to be used correctly, and then it will be quickly. Due to a number of engineering reasons, the smoothness and convenience of the previous generation variator Jazz sacrificed, and with them and part of the buyers who are still waiting for full automatism from the automatic box.

 
Hyundai i20.
D. S.
New Hyundai hot offer. The machine is especially good if you need a budget compact with a machine gun exceptionally advantageous offer. The concern is actively developing, and the quality of development and manufacture of its cars is already slightly lagging behind the European.
The I20 predecessor was getz a successful car, which gained well-deserved popularity. And the heir will not force the ancestor to blush: at first glance it can be seen that the design of the car did not flow the heels of the shelves on the shelf, waiting in the wings. The machine is very good. This is not a superagregat Mazda, but also to reproach it is nothing to: A similar in character, the automat worked on the triste of the past generation. On a flat road, the chassis keeps well done, quite an adult. The suspension is dense, without jelly. The machine is controlled accurately and without high delays, and the tires are set to the asphalt.
Out of I20 on irregularities: When you fall on a bad way, the difference with advanced Japanese and European cars becomes obvious. The car conveys in detail the seeds with accurate information about each pebble of the paving slaves, but after large irregularities, it chats for some time with the connivance of shock absorbers, the vitality of stiffness at a large cross-time stem: the combination is not obvious. The exact setting of more serious shock absorbers would make I20 more comfortable without loss in controllability. Not bad brake efficiency and ease of management. Moreover, the drive works, the more accurately, the more active you are the brand. This also applies to the steering, whose amplifier does not have enough performance in the parking lot, but at speed it works well. The machine has to the active mode: when you are growing up with roads and irregularities, half of the flaws of the i20 simply evaporates.
O. R.
In the established social range, only very few women managed to determine the sexual affiliation of the Hyundai I20 car. One young lady called him suitable for girls because of his salad colors. But even this would not have happened, be Mazda2 Salad. The second goes on the ancient Gets and his answer in favor of I20 in favor of helicatically wished him. And one respondent, in this case, its gender does not matter, said that the car I20, being an absolutely new model, did not have time to get stereotypes. And while it remains simply an unknown car and, in essence, not particularly interesting. It can not be supplied to something, it is not a sensation. Therefore, nothing to do. The choice in its favor will determine the price, and the floor of the buyer will determine its color.
From the point of view of a man-buyer, selecting a budget option, Hyundai i20 is good. The external appearance and interior design are so neutral and unpleasant that no person cares for the owner of this hatchback in the lack of harsh masculinity. Wide seats will suit people of different complexes. And 20 of the options of the I20 packages are even more expanding the model's audience, rather random than the target. 20 levels of complete sets just right to please absolutely everything. Judging by the tested copy, this is the top-conceit of the new Korean car, which must be competition to the Japanese and European regulars of this segment. Hyundai i20 is assembled from a variety of quotes, albeit with the context of the original sources, but with a special cynicism of their own weapons themselves.
 
 
Mazda2.
D. S.
Mazda2 has changed much for the better, since she came out, and she was so good. Today, two can be safely recommended to those who want to drive in an active style with an automatic transmission.
She does not have a manual switching mode, not because someone faded, but because it does not touch anyone to switch the transfer by manually with such quality and mechanics, and electronics. Algorithms of work and adaptation under the style of driving are great. Important option sports mode. And this is a real sport. Like DRIVE a real drive. Transmission makes it possible to show your best qualities in the entire turn range and in any mode of movement. A slowdown in quality control is far behind: and the performance of the brakes, and the accuracy of the management of them on the four. Pedal is soft, and ABS does not welcome irregularities.
The chassis is great in Russia. Small wheels and small dimensions do not interfere with Mazda2 perfectly feel even on uneven highway: you may not be afraid of breakdowns and do not wait for stability loss: the long-loading suspension perfectly works and swells, and rubbing at any speeds. Toyo tires are not distinguished by high coupling properties and versatility: on the dry heat asphalt they work at the level of European competitors, but in rain they become slippery. Turns the car is not so high quality, as it goes straight. There are questions for ergonomics: climate adjustment and acoustics, as well as setting up simple chairs are not too comfortable. On the side of Mazda, first of all, the best automatic in the compact checkout. Want to quickly ride on the machine better do not look for.
O. R.
Time is coming, and new good cars appear. On their background, even relatively recently seemingly inaccessible and on technology, and on the design of Mazda2, it turns out to be in the shade. But it does not seem ugly, imperfect or boring. It takes this test perfectly. She has the best machine, it is the cutest and pretty. It is the easiest. And in our test, as a parody of yourself, she is already red. She has the most toy interior, and some are capable even touching him. She is undoubtedly the most female of all. And it is simply delighting that in our days something may not cause any disputes, no doubt, no shock. The girl turns out to be a girl, not a serial maniac-transvestite. It is very cute that at least this time it will not jump out of the box or his baby himself.
Mazda2 is now not alone on the market, and many colorful innovations of the current year are objectively worthy rivals. But, flushing the eyes from various color confetti and harvesting from the neck suffocating serpentine, I certainly want to remember about the old friend, who, as you know, at all times better than two two. Mazda2 passed the time check. Let it not become and won't be a sales hit. In Russia, none of this segment will become. Although there is a general positive dynamics. And even the ability of 42 surveyed men, albeit under torture, name one men's car among knowingly Babski is a positive dynamics. And about the fact that they do not choose Mazda2, there is a joke. God invited Adam and Eve to choose to write standing. Adam shouted!, Then Eva in confusion asked: what about me? Brains, Eve, brains! God replied.

 
Opel Corsa.
D. S.
Opel Corsa is not new. Despite the experience, the baby has something to offer today, and in the coming years: a strong European level of engineering and quality and balanced adjustment of the running properties. Opel Corsa is completely devoid of sharp corners in its character. In it, only gradually, and these ingredients are mixed in gold proportions. That neither asking she will do everything right. Corsa has not reached inaccessible heights, but never failed.
The traditional automatic works in a pleasant style: he does not pull and does not sleep, does not jump from transfer to the transmission, when it swings, but allows the motor to work on tops always when it is necessary. About him simply forget, despite even the fact that 90 l. with. Not much as I would like for a machine with a machine gun. Alas, but up to 150-strong fast GSIs in the line of motors of intermediate solutions there is no most powerful from the usual (without quick nameplates) Corsa.
The suspension perfectly practices irregularities up to large: and its move, and energy intensity allow you to look too carefully at your feet. Comfort level is the best after Fiesta. At the same time, CORSA is managed, although without sports notes, but only correctly. She does not chat on the arc, and she willingly take maneuver. Rolls and delays are noticeable and significant to become good comfort, but the stiffness of all the elastic elements is chosen quite carefully so that the driver is confident in the car when he is driving Corsa.
O. R.
This model has a teenage version of GSI (a member of the sports car in this year), and a very adult OPC (winner of last year's sports car). For the image of basic complete sets, these are very important five kopecks. Having appeared three years ago, the little corse made a lot of noise. And now, even against the background of absolutely new competitors, it does not lose much. Stilantly, the interior decoration under black varnish looks. It is still not tired to surprise such wonderful options as, for example, heated steering wheel.
She is a corsic, and she is a girl. At the same time, even in such a compacted and over the measure of a shredded city, like Moscow, more and more boys are not only on the passenger seat, but also driving these machines. It is almost the celebration of the mind! And this is an unconditional merit of designers and engineers from Opel and in many respects of these four C.M.O.N.-freaks, also from Opel, which in advertising hooliganili, glued girls and lived with pleasure. Merry machine, and with it easy. It is reliable, understandable and obedient. She is also comfortable and quite dynamic. Moreover, even the machine is comfortable and allows you to confidently overtake not only trolleybuses. The only thing, and even that is not sensitive than sensitive specials minus excessive prevalence. Opel Corsa In this sense, the same thing that Mazda3 is: answering the question what is your car?, You can tell the car. The Corsa became the numerous name of the entire in-class it and honorable, and dangerous.

Summary
Sociality. 84 people (42 women and 42 men traditional orientation) took part (42 women and 42 years old (mainly from 25 to 35 years), they already have a car, and a quarter of respondents are going to buy a car in the future.
