Hyundai Solaris Saoralis West Drive since 2010 sedan

Perfect hit

From time to time, any budget compact model is tilting, we will fever, and we will learn about this by a constantly changing name ...
For example, before the appearance of Dodge Neon (safely replaced one generation), compact Chrysler received a new name in each generation. There was no third generation of Neon. The fever continued with the Caliber model. The Hyundai company is now suffering from a similar ailment: for two generations, its compact car was called Accent, and then at first a somewhat pale and inconsistent Verna began, and now the Solaris model. For some reason, there is a feeling that this name will delay for a while. Therefore, we will simply tell you what a budget car prepared for us (the car is assembled in Russia) Koreans.

Portrait
One fine day a miracle happened: Korean cars became thoroughbred, at least in the consumer qualities of Solaris, a real car, the language will not turn inferior to it inferior.
Even the appearance causes positive emotions. The car looks pretty and even solid at almost any angle, the body is decorated with many elaborate stylistic elements. Optics is expressive (I wanted to say not in Asian, but such a characteristic was no longer relevant for a long time), even with some complaints about the corporate identity.

And the salon ... no, not like Mercedes-Benz (plastic is still hard), but outwardly very decent: with pretty devices, a modern central panel, a pleasant steering wheel and worthy ergonomics. The seats are convenient, but the places behind are not as many as we would like (there are more spacious compact cars on the market). Note that at high speed in the cabin it becomes quite noisy.

On the move without emotions, including negative ones (which is also good). Slaris accelerates vigorously, slows down confidently, is controlled quite accurately and reliably. The apparent advantage of the model is decent smoothness, even on very bad roads, the machine retains self -control and balance, not disturbing passengers, like other compact cars.

Choosing a body
The alternative in this model is not yet available (continuing the traditions of Accent). By the way, henceforth there will be no other compact hatchbacks: Getz and I20 from the Russian market left due to the appearance of Solaris ...
