Honda Jazz
In 2002, Jazz seriously ahead of his time. In those times, the musically directed models of Honda (Jazz and Accord) turned into music lovers even those who do not distinguish jazz from blues. These works were so successful in Japanese authors that they should rightfully enter the collection of the best of the best. And those who are engaged in gathering should now drag this car into their mink. The new generation of the model will appear approximately in the second quarter of 2009, and what was on the mind of its creators, we will not recognize exactly until the devil jump out of the box and spits us in the eye.
Honda Jazz, of course, is not sinless. All mirrors (both lateral and rear views) are amazingly small. The steering wheel is regulated only in height, but not by departure. But this is not the main problem, but that even if not in the most intensive way to twist the steering wheel, it can bit. Physically, any driver can cope with this, but not everyone will cope with annoyance. Moreover, the depressing that everything else in the car is done so that in Honda they can, pouting with pride, say yes, this is ours. Jazz has a giant trunk, a high ceiling and a spacious interior. Fuel consumption slightly deviates from 6-7 l/100 km. There is an automatic addition of mirrors and input for external media. Carlson would be very surprised at how many people and things fit into such a small box, and Clarkson, perhaps, would have climbed there. There are all kinds of boxes, boxes, pockets and pockets, and even an open regiment in front, with a length of the entire width of the car on which the books are arranged. It is amazing for a car of this class, yes, perhaps for any class!
 
 
If you go to the manual mode (that is, the driver and the variator will pretend that they have seven programs), then the steering wheel petals will be used. Some competitors also have a tiptronics, but no one has real petals!
If you pay attention to the Honda Jazz floor, which looks more like a catamaran with voluminous embossed seats, it will become funny. But the other is not necessary! A boring body with extremely simplified lines of a dungeon van proves once again that a sense of humor is more often inherent in appearance to the types, rather than clowns in stupid boots. Jazz is not fashionable, and it is not beautiful. But how vigorous and positive he is! (The incredibly popular Norwegian writer Erland Lu believes that an ordinary person has the right to put one exclamation mark for his life, and a person who makes a scripture two on bread. Only in the Honda Jazz test is an indigenous exclamation mark on which its author He did not have absolutely any rights. But the fact is that the last book of La trucks Volvo, and the last test machine with Repkina Honda Jazz. Therefore, more than one exclamation mark could appear in this test).
The quality of materials and the interior decoration are good. Equipping at the highest level. The amount on the price tag includes not only the frame and the nameplate, but everything else. And even more. All that was good in the Honda brand, and that could be invested in a small city democratic machine.
 
You have to turn a blind eye to the design or look the truth: the model is not new, and that it does not fit into the mainstream there is nothing to worry about

Baby for a million
Mazda2
There are already so many about this machine, and it has already won so incredibly a lot of titles and rewards that it is difficult to believe that yesterday she literally hatched in my hands from a thick snow -white shell, in which there was a minimum of calcium and a maximum of ultra -precision data about a modern automobile market. Mazda2 is a product of its time and this is the son of his father of the company, which recently was reborn from the ashes of too progressive, which means too expensive, and therefore no one needs. Mazda today and a dozen years will not be right to error, cars of this brand must certainly become hits that sound from each kiosk and every mobile phone. This is a factory of stars, a conveyor for the production of exactly the goods that is in demand today. Only after passing this stage, it will be possible to change his roles with the buyer and, having ceased to serving before him, strictly impose anything on him, recouped over the years spent in the fulfillment of other people's desires, as if a groundhog day had happened on Christmas. In the meantime, you can be sure that any Mazda car is the best ratio of price and quality, the most emotional choice among rational offers, a bright and fashionable image, fascinating and safe driving, and everything that is required of a modern personal vehicle. For such words, one should not be reproached with cynicism, because these words are the same guarantor of reliability as a visa of a notary or an unshakable confidence of a lawyer.

Without this car, this test would not be obvious. Is it obvious that she will beat the old guard and win? I think no. Otherwise, one could limit yourself to a column in the news. She has a delightful color under the grasshopper, a win -win bait for potential buyers. She is the embodiment of all the best that was created before her in the class of compact cars. She is the same zoom-zoom as the RX-8 and CX-7. She is a beauty and she will steer remarkably, but at night in a tight parking lot in the yard or in a warm garage she dreams of a sticky nightmare that sooner or later a car will appear, in a similar way, programmed for success. Wolves to be afraid not to go to the forest, she knows this, and therefore is not afraid. Dive, and there we will figure it out!
This is a car that is not just lucky, but lucky the way you want it. The intricate of role -playing games knows no boundaries. You can choose a manual transmission (which is approximately like a cow for a saddle for classmates) and go broke on a sports package, but go with all the money. The sweetest thing is that the machine, on the version with a 1.5-liter engine, does not deprive the driver of pleasant emotions. Emotions that somewhat change their character when it comes to the cost of Car of the year on the back glass of this masterpiece, but which invariably take their own as soon as the car with a joyful unbridled screech touches.

A TUTTA CORSA
Opel Corsa
We did not take this car to the landfill, as some of our colleagues would make. Unlike them, we did not hope that the small city car would survive after several circles, we did not believe in a miracle that it would be marvelous as adapted to sports loads. We traveled to Opel Corsa in the city in traffic jams, and then tried to keep up with the missed time on the Moscow Ring Road, parked in tight courtyards and narrow alleys, and did not expect stars would begin to pour from the sky.
Someone may say that she is going too slowly. Opel has a quick Corsa OPC, but since the poor dancer always interferes with either the floor, or something else ORS is also not a way out, or rather the wrong exit. Opel Corsa with a 1.4 liter engine and an automatic gearbox travels well from low revolutions and does not immediately pass after a brisk start. In any case, its potential is enough to spoil the mood of others, frivolously dozing off at a traffic light. And we ourselves have fun, seeing sincere amazement on the faces of those who believe that Corsa and others like her are not seriously, as if it were only toys for slightly adult girls. But no. This is a car. This is a car (do not be afraid of this word). For all. All those who live in the city and, as they say in every second advertisement, playing according to his rules, likes to win. These beautiful words, of course, are a complete nonsense the same as a waste of time in traffic jams and money on gasoline, burning in these traffic jams, a waste of precious place in the parking lot, which is occupied by spacious cars, in which a maximum of a maximum of one person always drives by fatal accident. Although, everyone has their own. So be it.
The front are wonderful seats, which, however, are completely uncomfortable for large -sized riders. Opel Corsa has an enviable selection of options (only that Citroen customers do not have to envy): steering wheel heating, navigation, CD changer, DVD, climate control, cruise control, adaptive lighting system, light shutdown timer , sports regime.
 
Opel Corsa has several very progressive systems thanks to them this toy is very well suited for city games: various quests, as well as cats from the traffic police. Technical progress with a bulldozer drove through this machine, and its traces are clearly visible. Here and the electro -controlled steering hydraulic power steering with an amplification coefficient depending on the speed of the car, and the electronic brake forces regulator, the function of assistance when passing turns, the function of maintaining the course stability and even the improved system for eliminating insufficient rotation.
The ill -wishers will enjoy finding out that the glove compartment has a very strange and uncomfortable configuration. That the control of the turn signals violates the subtle mental balance of the driver as quickly as in all other Opel models. That noise insulation is not perfect, and dirt flows under the hood and flows down. But the spiteful people will not recognize anything pleasant for themselves. Both the first and 101st trip to Corsa gives pleasure and brings a very good mood. In addition to jokes, driving on this car is fun. She has a light character and almost no bad habits.
 
The car looks very friendly and invariably causes a feeling of sincere sympathy on the verge of tenderness

The coloristic gamma has 14 colors, and some of them seriously affect the impression that the machine makes
 
Nowhere in the salon to notice and a hint of traces of savings
The amount of chromium is strictly dosed
There is a lot of light and air in the cabin. The roof line is high
 
All buttons are very small, as if toy, but everything is in place
Among more than a dozen victories Opel Corsa there is a prestigious European Autobest 2007 award
 
In Russia, it is believed that women are already trembling at the sight of small cars. Let it be so. In essence, it does not matter. It is important that a completely different majority of Russian men cannot afford to drive compact city cars, because they are from the Babsky segment, and not at all urban ones. To chop a bit, spit into a well, dig a grave, brand a shame convenient for daily trips of a car all this can be included in one collection of stories about everyday stupidity. The phenomenon of an elephant in a chimney shop does not show anyone to the correct conclusions.
For a five-door Peugeot 207 with an automatic transmission, only one engine is a 120-horsepower of 1.6 liters. And at first glance it may seem that this machine is from another weight category, fraudulently sneaking into this test to destroy its opponents. Alas, the plot is not so intriguing good. Everything is much more trivial in the conditions in which all these machines exist, in sled characteristics the difference between them is not as great as 33 hp. (standing as a lump in the throat, between Peugeot 207 and, for example, Toyota Yaris). The main thing for such a car is a cheerful character, love of life and ability to realize its power at low engine speeds. And, certainly, a bright design and a comfortable interior. And the cost proportional to the dimensions of the machine and the engine volume. Of course, to say, 120 hp. This is much more fun, but 240 it is even better, and 360 is completely good. It is generally accepted that they are not looking for good from good. That's not necessary.
Peugeot 207 is a very harmonious car. It is perfectly combined with both obvious advantages and obvious disadvantages. When starting the engine, the key strives to develop, but the dashboard is beautiful and concise, and the scales are well read. At the gas station, leaving the white (or black) fucked car in a white (or black) suit made of flax and silk, you will go to pay for your fuel with wet and a smelly cork from the gas tank in your hands, it opens with the already mentioned key. But in the cabin is spacious and light. Not everyone will like how the steering wheel power power steering works. At low speed, the steering wheel rotates from the draft, on the average it is still too much, and I do not want to gain high speed at all. Although the car enters into turns very willingly, scaring off the neighbors with a tearful squeal of rubber. The cabin lacks the spaciousness. Passengers in the back seat complain of crowding, although they are not particularly offended. Even one passenger can lock behind, with everyone. There is an air freshener in the cabin, which is connected to the air conditioning system. The aroma is quite tolerable, but it does its fragrant business at his discretion, and this is somewhat warmer by a driver who is trying to at least maintain independence in something. And so on for each plus there is a minus.
When you remove the car from the alarm, he, welcoming, fervently flashes with an emergency. Simple trick, but the mood lifts it flawlessly

The design of the rear lamps may seem too elaborate, but in general the machine looks harmonious. It is easily recognizable and in almost everyone causes sympathy
 
The quality of the salon materials and the build quality at the proper level
It is convenient to use braking engine
Music control on the steering wheel is somewhere under the wheel. And on the radio itself the buttons are too small
In the outer mirrors carried out from the front racks on the door, you can see a lot of interesting
 
A light, nimble and very frisky car quietly gains speed better to check with a speedometer
 
Japanese city
Toyota yaris
Today, once one of the most popular models is very not easy. Progress, walking seven -mimic steps, is much ahead of the speed of 365 days a year. And 2005 of birth means that young is no longer young. Although it could have been preserved better. Could, but could not. And if the external design still has nothing to do with the silhouettes of dinosaurs, then in the cabin it smells very for naphthalin.
When landing on the driver's chair Toyota Yaris, there is no confidence that this is precisely the driver’s place, and not the passenger in the right -hand drive car. Many automobile companies profess the interesting philosophy of building a car around the driver. Everything is the opposite here, as if spite. The driver has only a steering wheel, which is pressed into the monolith of plastic, and nothing more. The electronic dashboard, put into the center, acts as the only source of entertainment for passengers missing the gallery. And the driver is still deprived. In Nissan, such experiments with the layout layout ended with a triumphal return to the traditional scheme. And Renault does not understand that it is not convenient and not beautiful in every family its own family values. But Toyota! ..

 
As for the dynamics, with the automatic mode of the robot it simply does not exist. The insistent press on the gas pedal will not help the matter. The jerk that will switch the transmission up, and then the loss of power for a long time will nullify all the efforts of a small, but zealous engine. But it’s enough to go into the manual mode, and life will sparkle with new colors, the motor with new sounds, and the driver with joyful cries, after all, can when he wants! In surprise, it may even seem that the car is much more powerful than it is. But back to the salon. Rather, we did not come out of it. All plastic in the interior raises only questions, moreover, an aggressive nature. There is a scanty glove compartment under the wheel, but it is unlikely that you would hardly come to your mind to bury something to be buried there to look for lost under the wheel. In addition, the lid of this amazing box jams when opening. The glove compartment (in a traditional place) is divided into two sections, very insufficiently insured by a mess. There is a kind of tray between the lever of the KP and the central console, which is also very useful for various gizmos. Behind the handbrake there is a cup holder and a shelf. Behind the front seats there are pockets, in the doors of the cup holders. But the trunk is almost not at all. The chairs are very flat, but nevertheless quite comfortable.
Toyota Yaris makes a very ambiguous impression. Although sales data do not fit in any way with the opinions of individual ladies and gentlemen: in 2006, 2714 pieces of Yaris were sold, in 2007 already 4775 and 1213 copies for the first quarter of 2008.
The previous generation of the model was the most successful brand project in the European market in history. And in Russia, Yaris could not achieve vivid victories

Failure with the interior annoying, but not a fatal misunderstanding for a cute, flexible, reliable and economical machine
 
There are many details arguing with each other in the interior
Everything is subordinated to symmetry. But not symmetrically means convenient
Manual mode need
There are many departments for trifles, but not all of them make sense

The display, which is displayed all the data, does not glance, but is little informative
 
SUMMARY
A small dog to old age puppy. In addition to the fact that a small machine is practical, economical and environmentally friendly. This is fun first of all. This is a little not seriously. This is when without complexes and no offense. More, cooler, more expensive, more powerful, it is amusing pride. But this is a dead end, or rather a horizon that a priori is unattainable. That is why this is tremendous stress. The pursuit of its own tail is exhausting, meaningless, cruel, endless. Stop, enough! Smile! Firstly, it annoys everyone, and secondly, it amuses someone. Small city cars are not only the fashionable influence of the rotting West with its narrow, like a loud outbuilding of a sloth, not only a feasible purchase for blood, overwhelming labor, not only a toy as a gift to a girlfriend. This is a good mood. It is not clear even how he succeeds. Probably, thanks to self-irony, easy coquetry, courage to be funny, be weak, be small, be honest and for some reason very wise. Rejoice in life, enjoy small, enjoy details, enjoy moments. This is not a philosophy, this is a method. This test and summing up the results were conceived as a very serious material: everyone did important faces, frowned, put on glasses, ties, suspenders, wrinkles and noble gray hair, said a couple of smart phrases, prayed significantly, but then something went wrong, and everyone burst out laughing , almost burst with laughter.
