Test Drive Hyundai Terracan since 2004 SUV

Paired skating

The wonderful fact of our autobiography is a joint test of Hyundai Terracan with spouses by Tatiana Lazareva and Mikhail Shaz. Although her husband and wife are one Satan, everyone has their own idea about the car. We folded them together and got such an image.
A task how to divide one car for two drivers, we decided much easier than the problem of the joint report on the test drive. They say, Ilf with Petrov also, too, difficulties with the division of labor arose. But they were easier. They are not husband and wife. And in general, the solutions of co-authors in the literature are a bit. And where whose impressions, a thoughtful reader, hope to figure it out.
THE FIRST DAY. In everyday life I am serious. In addition to jokes. Too much has to be hooked on the television, so that with the same pleasure to do it outside his framework. In Soviet times, it is remembered by the comics of Herlifa Bidstrup revived the difficult texture of school textbooks. One of them was about the humorist, Lysnyky (as an old tire) a short with the face of today's Arkady Arkanova. The humorist sits at home and composes the story. In terrible flour. He dares around the apartment, incessantly smokes, yelling his wife, kicks the dog. The final frame: a humorist stands on stage and reads ancient story, and with the same brutal physiognomy Arkanova, and the hall is lying down with laughter. What am I talking about? On the nature of the funny and its hidden kitchen.
 
In Hyundai cars, actually a little ridiculous, although a rare Russian man did not try to chase, first heard the name of the brand. But now Hyundai for the ear of the compatriot became the same as habitual as the Hungybins for our parents. As for the word Terracan, the beat of him, was confused with a cockroach, amazingly even a lazy brain, and an inquisitive mind knowing that Terracan means terrestrial laddy, was not at all. And if I have fun at something, it is over the inconsistency between the formidable view of the Lord and the squeaky voice of his clason. Explicit flawlessness of image makers. Silent Terracan looks somewhat solid. Massive bumpers, large glazes of headlights, fighter ruined radiator lattice ... At first glance, it is not a very far relative of the well-deserved Japanese type Toyota Land Cruiser. The salon is much more suitable than it seems until it is immersing your briginal body. Not only nearby, but behind you can safely plant people and not to be ashamed of the cube of the second half. To the trunk, which, with the unfolded seat, becomes frighteningly huge, you can led delegations - this is how to make this important car construction. The skin in the salon is good and soft, especially on the first two seats, probably because it is even more smoothed when the heated is enabled.
You noticed that I try to describe the car as much as possible. And this is despite the fact that I absolutely do not have automotive fetishism. I do not leave the tears of lunizing over any intricate detail or tidwers. The car for me is just a vehicle. As an elevator. And no one admires the elevators. Just shy in them.
Nevertheless, even such a careless rider, as me, some negligence in Ergonomics of Terracan rushed into the eyes. Function keys are scattered at different parts. Some of them, in particular, the one that is responsible for the rear wipers, found themselves near the gearbox lever. The cruise control button, judging by its location, should include a passenger, not a driver. While you will understand the Korean fantasies, forget where I wanted to go. Meanwhile, in the reserve - not a minute. All artists are preparing for a numerous marathon before the New Year holidays. And they don't scratch them not 42 kilometers of 195 meters, but much more - pleasure places are scattered across the immense capital. All day - a foot on Gaza, a tongue on the shoulder - I did not go thanks to Terracan from the distance. I give it and the word Tatiana.
SECOND DAY. I always dreamed of ride a jeep. And our children, Sonya and Stepa were very happy when they found out that the whole week they would ride in the present jeep. But at first they were embarrassed. Sonya is the fact that the car turned out to be wrong. What are you, Mom, she exclaimed. - It was necessary to take black or silver. Stepan suddenly said that in the car stinks. And the salon was really strongly punched. I then realized that this car, as a snake-tempter, worshiped to delay. It is very helpfully opened by an ashtray. It is a finger to her to touch it, like her: what, new owner, please? Yes, nothing is expected. No smoking.
As a result of the disastrous habit of the previous driver, the skin is, here it is a lack of natural materials - the nicotinous suchochitis has absorbed firmly. In addition, it turned out to be surprisingly slippery. With the slightest braking, the children moved from the seats. It was not necessary to fasten them in a normal way - the belts looked up to the top, selected exactly to the necks. Nothing, we will ride especially carefully.
That unimaginably difficult: Terracan - apparently, this property of all SUVs is sharply and cool changes the driving style. First, the aggression is broken out. And it appears, as if you were in hand in your hand, the feeling of your own right. Secondly, the borders that were previously large, cease to seem insurmountable obstacles. Thirdly, the feeling of awkwardness, when, shamelessly blowing the wheels, are you starting to scribble on these borders, while the rest are inexpressible with anger in traffic jams.
True, the feeling of awkwardness quickly returned, when under the closer views of the hot southern men in the parking lot in the Leningrad market, I already had to worry in Terracan. Do this in the skirt means to arrange a free show for others. But in less erotic outfits, you will have no easier. Thresholds from the car are high, and the steps are narrow and too removed from the door. In order not to stain legs, you need to try.
 
After the first stage of the test drive, my verdict: the car, of course, is not bad. But she is clearly contraindicated! She is angry with me. In the sense that I am getting angry and mercifully to others. And in fact I am not like that. I am a white, fluffy and approximate lady.
On the other hand, this my new car is also not really like that. I understood it in the evening next day. Together with other oestniks, we led a concert in honor of the next anniversary of Radio Chanson. The concert was held in the Olympic. An apple has nowhere to fall not only in the hall, but also in the parking lot of the sports complex. According to the vehicles standing there, it was possible to judge the specific audience of the radio station. How would you say to be an intelligible? My centenary Hyundai among the black squares looked about the same way as they boasted among miners. It is even difficult to imagine that the person feels in Gelendeshgen or Saburban, for example. Maybe Misha will say?
Day Three. I will not say. I spent all the conscious car enthusiastic life behind the wheel of the sedans. And only in the unconscious period, while studying in the Criminal Procedure, I had a truck. But I think that any SUV automatically changes his master's psyche. I'm telling you as a doctor. What is the most important in the SUV? Patency, dynamics, equipment? Nonsense. The same Terracan from these positions is a mediocre car. On the swamps on it is dangerous. It is naive with Street-Reisers. Acceleration from Terracan so-so. My 210th diesel Mercedes and that turning. About the stuffing generally speak funny - even CD-changer is not. In short, another is important in the SUV. First, high landing. She distracts from small thoughts, it allows you to fully and or rather evaluate the world around. Secondly, a strong frame, wide wheels, reliable Kangarin and other jeep muscles give a feeling of security. And, of course, dimensions play a significant role. Rerep from Low Mercedes to High Terracan, I like grew myself. As if the fists suddenly became the same as the Klitschko brothers. That day I, by the way, was driving to play football to CSKA Stadium on Sandy Street. I thought everyone would break. But as a result, at the very beginning of the game, some banker from the opponents team snapped me. Probably, he has a cooler car and felt he not to Klitschko, but Tyson.
DAY FOUR. And it seems to me that in any car main thing - comfort. The fact that the car is a house on the wheels, I personally understood before American creative workers. I try to observe all your vehicles, domesticated in a short time. So, in order to destroy the tobacco smell, the air freshener hung in the form of a Christmas tree - for the holidays had to be. I organized a place for garbage between front seats. There is a comfortable niche for glasses and other containers, we threw the bones there.
From my Toyota, the family masters were brought: the pink jelly-like, like a palpist, which is glued to the panel and is funny there, and a small toy kitty. She is especially the daughter's road, which summed up my efforts when I turned on the light bulb near her door. She said so: watch, straight like at home. For completeness, the picture lacked only her husband on the passenger seat with a sports newspaper in his hands. When we have to go together, it always hides from the alarming experiences behind the print sheets of the maximum format.
Stopping at the gas station, I realized that I had not yet mastered my new dwelling. Together with the gas station, we were looking for the cherished button that opens a gas tank hatch. Pressing all the buttons in a row, we opened everything you can. In addition to the gas tank. In the end, somewhere under the chair, the loss was found. The refill, which, according to my ideas, should know about all cars where it is in them, suddenly asked a question that proves his full uniformity.
- And how much does this monster eat? -- he asked.
Yes, where do I know, doves. He has a huge pot. And refueling it often. And I, honestly, I did not share the kilometers on liters. What is fat? And you won't drive less, and the gasoline will not dilute.
Fifth day. The first snow fell. It sounds like a phrase from the novel, but it was indeed the first for the whole of December. And in the evening it rained. Nature took care of creating ideal conditions for SUV testing. I know, according to the laws of the genre, it should be noted that in my Terracan a permanent four-wheel drive and ABS, and somehow try to bother about the fact that their presence helped to help me in critical situations. But I, to joy or chagrin, there were no critical situations on the road. And, you know, I suspect that in many respects, thanks to the full drive and ABS, who worked for ahead, not postfactum.
And it was pretty twisted in Moscow. Drinking children to school, rushed to the office O.S.P. Studios on the spiridon. From there - to the garden ring, in the restaurant 911, to a meeting with the producer Alexander Akopov. Then we had shooting scenes for the Travel of Botany and the series Mowgli. The shooting took place in one of the buildings belonging to the Minatom of Russia. And therefore everyone is allowed to pass. More precisely - release. And since I had a skip to the old car, then a small stir had happened. The security refused to believe that such a good car, like Terracan, someone made me just like that, ride.
The next destination - Youth hostel, where the lobby is already languishing potential customer of our programs. There came next a fun scene. We used to go out on the street, and I decided to brag, I say to him: Behold, what a beautiful car gave me a ride. And you're driving on anything? He points to something at a distance, terribly plastered with mud. We come closer, and this is - BMW X5. Just as in the saying: under the mud - riches. By the way, I do not like to wash the car. In winter it is all money down the drain. And Terracan frozen swill served instead of toning and protect against pesky views.
DAY SIX. The next day Terracan had yet to clean up pre-sale shine. We appointed with him shooting at ENEA. photoshoot joy almost spoiled the traffic cops, out of place to notice how I cross the two solid lines. One of them swore terribly, saying that I was grossly violated the rules, and the rules of the road - it's not your hihanki yes hahanki. The second inspector was peace, but when I turned to him for support, sternly said:
- Yeah. We are at your soul. And you shit about us?
- What shit? - I was taken aback.
- And who in an interview talked about the drunk traffic cop?
Here it is, karma! Sooner or later, every careless word goes around comes around. And it was exactly the thing: hurry we kind to the airport, and stopped us well, very beautiful policeman. I have this story told in an interview. No, I'm not going to repeat it and annoy people with whistles and batons. And then I will no longer go. Or even take yes arrested for driving without a license. Oh, did I let slip that I do not have a driver's license?
