Test Drive Nissan Almera Classic since 2006 Sedan

From Batonov to sedans

Bun for three kopecks, Baton for thirteen, half black for nine even these simple numbers remember hard. Now a different time, other prices. And for thirteen buy not a rowed loaf, but a budget sedan with a 1.6 liter engine. KIA spectrum is just in the desired range of prices, Renault Logan takes there only to the upper edge, Nissan-almer Classic, on the contrary, only by the lower level of configuration.

Alas, in the park of representative offices, only expensive executions, and the test had to take a richly equipped version of SE. We will keep in mind that the basic PE holder is not subject to ABS, audio systems, alloy discs, electric drive and heating mirrors, air conditioning, heating the front seats, as well as the hatch in the back of the rear sofa.

SPECTRAL ANALYSIS
Kia spectrum is definitely not the most fashionable car of this year. But in the budget class, the foundation put higher originality. Slightly seasoned with crystal headlights, the spectrum fully meets expectations. But upon closer, you note that body gaps are clearly more than the opponents, and the coincidence of the panels are not perfect everywhere. However, against the background of cars, which Izhevtsy produced independently, the current products are not even a step, but a gigantic jump as an assembly.
The front in the spectrum is spacious enough, although it's not so easy to sit down. The steering column is too low for the full driver, and the seat itself makes it pretty squinting when landing. But the impressive range of longitudinal movement, an unexpectedly large and long pillow is pleased with particularly tall and long-legged drivers. But under the complete pillow is broken, and the handbrake is already under its edge. The pedal node is very compact, so the owners of a large or coarse shoe will not be delighted, especially from the clutch pedal with a short course and inadvertent effort. Standard Japanese steering wheel switches does not require adaptation, but adjusting the intermittent wiper mode is not provided.
In the back seat with a very attached back, the two passengers can be more or less convenient to accommodate, threesome are already closed.
In the course of the spectrum does not make the opinion of myself. A simple and honest car without special excesses is distinguished by a minimum of features, and not all of the nice. A good smoothness of the stroke is combined with the suspension-limited power consistency, frisky after 3500 rpm Motor becomes annoyingly noisy just above this mark. Convenient during a long trip driver's seat on turns refuse to keep the driver.
However, handling does not provoke into steep drives and is described by the only epithet. In the limit rotations of the spectrum, the inner front wheel hangs, effectively dropping excessive craving, and with sharp movements, the steering wheel is noticeably delays with the reaction. But for the average driver, it is more important not to accuracy control in sliding, and the fact that the car is very difficult to provoke on a sharp drift even on the wet asphalt. But the absence of ABS noticeably affects the brake path.
The best impression of the spectrum produces on a straight line, not too good country road. There is enough power, and the engine is not roaring, and the suspension copes. In general, for the price of a worthy choice for those who often have to perform long trips.

Logan is not naked
If 1,6-liter Logan for $ 12,099 add all available options, i.e. passenger airbag and ABS, heated seats, electrical adjustment and heated mirrors with rear power windows, as well as alloy wheels, it turns out just a test machine for $ 13,659.
At the same time, Logan's maximum cheats. In our country, it was not possible to achieve a uniquely low price, but it turned out a simple and spacious machine, the optimal equipment for which we counted Expression with a 1.4-liter engine. But throwing a practical logan under the urban, we believe it is not worth it. And that's why
The 1.6 L engine, of course, is noticeably more powerful than 1,4-liter. That's just when measurements, the advantage of more powerful Logan turned out to be small up to 100 km / h, he won 1.4 s, added a couple of kilometers per hour at maximum speed at the maximum speed. Is there any difference? Of course, there is a win in elasticity: the acceleration time on the fifth gear from 80 to 120 km / h decreased by almost a third. But still to hone with 16-valve Logan not on the teeth. Yes, and its forms do not contribute to high speeds
The brakes with ABS are subjectively evaluating on perfectly, only the results are not impressive. I'm afraid of the Romanian tires Montana M801 adopted the relay in compatriots under the Victoria brand, at one time surprised even the experienced drivers of the magnitude of the brake path
In an expensive Logan, adjustment of the driver's seat in height allows you to lower it by 25 mm, but spaces above your head and in the basic machine is enough. But finding the optimal landing behind the wheel has become more difficult. Buttons control rear windows between front seats, almost on the floor. What to reach it, it's easier to twist a handle. Heated the front seats in winter will not be unnecessary if you can find it button
But it deserves praise power steering. With him, the management of Logan on a winding road turns out of work in pleasure. Fast, accurate, weighted steering wheel almost sample for its class. Yes, and park is much easier. Or have we already completely laid?
All other advantages of the car remained with it. A huge trunk, an exemplary back seat, which can be called triple, comfortable on irregularities and impenetrable suspension without any stretch. The logo from the Trinity does not pay attention to the uneven road in turn: he is somewhat more than rivals, but remains clear and predictable even in a slide.
The creators of Logan paid attention to the fact that for the sake of cheaper, the right and left outer mirrors are the same. But in terms of visibility, these ears, even equipped with electric and heating, leave much to be desired. The essence of the machine is obvious LoganProstically created by a car for the summer house! And why not sell it under the grade of giving?

Classic does not age?
The second-generation Nissan-Almer survived the restyling and acquired the army of fans. Mostly due to a reasonable price and good reliability. By changing citizenship and once again updating the appearance, Almer Classic was able to offer an even more attractive initial price. Solid appearance Even in a frivolous blue color, it still goes into an asset almere classic. The true age of Nissan is easily determined by the silhouette: 4510 mm of length and only 2535 mm of the wheelbase. This ratio is characteristic for the time when the volume of the cabin has not yet been a dominant factor.
Indeed, according to the internal dimensions of the almer, the classic is also inferior to the spectrum, and Logan. Pretty high driver landing is a good compromise between a convenient input-output and sufficient space inside. The dealer driver can be conveniently pressed behind the wheel of Nissan, but no matter how hard the designers have tried to correct the position of the scholar form of the back, but for the driver height above 185 cm sitting is almost impossible to sit even a low and thin passenger. And there is nothing to do there with another, because any 175 cm grown above is leaving heads.
Seat with a short pillow resemble the Japanese roots of the car. Long-legged will soon compare to fatigue. However, only from uncomfortable posture. There is no complaints to the microclimate and noise. And about the outdated control panel, rate it on the touch, and not on the view!
Nissans often demonstrated excellent indicators on the dynamometer road, and the Blue Almer Classic did not exception, surpassing the factory indicators in all disciplines. It would be more so! It was pleasantly surprised by a low fuel consumption for about a liter less than that of rivals. In this case, the motor not only turns perfectly above 6000 rpm, but also lucky with only 2000 rpm, and also does not press the noise during acceleration.
It seems that it was silence in the cabin forced more attention to the work of the suspension. In general, the energy-intensive, it too diligently gives small irregularities on the body. At first, it is perceived as a fee for the ease and responsiveness of Nissan on the steering wheel. However, the mountain road put everything in its place. While speeds and side accelerations in the turns are small, the car is really very pleasant in management. But it is worth trying to take everything from him and the godfather is inferior to a strange journey car, prone to a diagonal star. In addition, unnecessary powerful hydraulicel completely deprives you of communication with the road. Or do we need too much again?
The experimental Nissan was equipped with ABS and showed excellent results when braking; We can only guess the possibilities of simpler picking. The final results in the driving disciplines put it in the first place, but the cramped saloon took away a lot of points. I will add that the trunk of Almera Classic is a capacity of spectra, but less Logan and also untransformable.
 

The bakery spectrum does not shine talents, but the cost of a specific test sample is valid. Nissan strictly speaking, more expensive car, although with an attractive price of the basic version. The most appropriate package for it will be PE + with an additional package of equipment (ABS and audio system) for $ 15,890. The logartery is not optimal. The creation of French engineers collected in Moscow was also an extremely simple car, despite all the electric drives. If you come to compete with his peculiar appearance, it is practical and convenient. But not all of his buyers reached that position in life that allows you to choose a car without looking at the image.
What to do? Having about 350,000 rubles. For a purchase ($ 13,000), you can estimate that surcharge for the expensive version of the most valuable car from the Trinity, if you take a loan for three years, will be about 2000 rubles per month. It seems not so much
Apparently, it's time to learn not only to understand the equipment, but also count the money. Batones are thirteen kopecks ended.
