Test drive Nissan Tiida (Versa) Sedan since 2006 sedan

Japanese city

On Okinawa, the word Tiida is called the dawn of the new day. On other Japanese dialects, both the sun and the ever -variable tide are indicated. And in Russia, only the new Nissan golf class with the PEUGEOT profile and the face of Renault ...

Tiida seems to be made with an aim to markets, where French brands are in demand. This is not about Russia, except for the budget Logan and 206 Sedan, although they are just far from Paris ...
 

But the compact Nissan has an undeniable similarity with French models: a wealth of full -time equipment. For example, already in the second configuration, Elegance, Tiida is equipped with the Intelligent Key system: you can open the door and start the motor without taking the key from your pocket. It is especially convenient when there are deep pockets in the jeans and there is no way to get away from the habit of unknown where to put the keys to the car ...
 

And so the French, like the French, give them not cheap. But they offer a lot. The car in the basic version costs 499,900 rubles, but for this money you get a whole paragraph of options. Bend the sedan with a 1.6-liter 110-horsepower engine, a mechanical five-speed checkpoint, front and side airbags, ABS, EBD, Nissan Brake Assist, steering wheel power power, adjustable steering column, all electric windows, adjustment of the driver's seats in height, air conditioning, air conditioning, air conditioning, air conditioning, air conditioning, air conditioning CD player, 15-inch steel wheels, in my opinion, is normal!

  

Hatchback with a 1.6 and four -speed automatic transmission is a quiet, comfortable, smooth, but boring option. Despite the fact that with complete gas the car rides, and to touch each pedal sprinkles sharply and even a little twitch. The acceleration is quite assertive to break out of the leisurely flow of a non -late crowd. But it’s foolish to wait for more from 1.6 liters, right?! Only comfort and slightly saving fuel.
 

There is really a little with an automatic machine: it consumes an additional liter every 100 km compared to mechanics, requiring, in general, 10 liters per hundred and an additional one and a half seconds during acceleration. And the handle will also allow you to establish contact with the gear shift and it is better to control acceleration. Tiida is controlled in the same way as accelerates: confidently, reliably, but without a spark. The suspension is dense, quite satisfying such criteria as good handling; Silence and reliability in overcoming road troubles.

  

However, the myth of the predisposition of Tiida was dispelled to dynamic driving with sharp restructuring and a slight premature jump in the rear axle. But Nissan slows down as it should: and the lower transmission will subside, and ABS will not hurry. Under the driver, a wide chair with height adjustments and corner adjustments to the inside. Apparently, this is how Nissan managed to bring the seat closer to the doors, freeing more space between the driver and the front passenger. The large area of \u200b\u200bglazing provided a wonderful overview in all directions. The stylish salon does not paint only hard plastic, but it's nice that the alleged contact area of \u200b\u200bthe front passenger with a torpedo is made of softer material. In case airbags are resting

  

The steering wheel in the basic configuration has a radio control buttons. In more expensive trim levels, they add cruise control, telephone and other options. The driver will not have problems with Tiida management, but this car is hospitable to the rear passengers. Places on the couch as in a good D-class sedan. Particularly comfortable behind, if you push the sofa (in hatchbacks it is possible) and adjusting the back of the back.

However, the hatchback does not shine with such a spacious trunk, and an increase in comfort for passengers responds to the damage to the capacity of the luggage compartment. What (or who) is more important, we choose ourselves. However, this is not bad: the drivers of the sedan are deprived of this opportunity.

  

At the beginning of the twentieth century. Japanese city was called manifestations of soldiers, bureaucratic arbitrariness. Nowadays, the phrase is used in a different meaning: as a form of amplification, which does not carry its original meaning, explains the electronic dictionary.
 

Tiida is also a form of strengthening Nissan positions in the European and Russian markets. As far as it will be the strength of the dawn of a new day, time will tell.
