All paints «Fiesta»

At first glance it might seem that the appearance model Fiesta on the Russian market - rather, a demonstrative action, any special financial benefits not sulyaschaya. It is not only the situation in the compact city cars, where the chock-full of strong competitors and have these bestsellers, raskupaemye thousand copies. In the end, not gozhe that titanium, as Ford Motor, pass in front of opponents. The problem lies elsewhere.

It turned out that the main source of threat to the new «Fiesta» - her next of kin, Focus produced in Russia, which pokrupnee sizes, and choice of various equipment more attractive, and attractive price. However, in the coming months, demand for cars will inevitably Vsevolozhsk azhiotazhnym, resulting in a lack of will in the showrooms of dealers «living» cars. A Fiesta allow somehow eliminate arising «budget» classroom shortage.

On the other hand, the leadership of the Russian Mission Ford Motor has been transparently hinted at the possibility of assembling in Vsevolozhsk other models. Perhaps, Fiesta is regarded as one of the bidders to «local propiska», and this issue will directly depend on the reaction of customers to the new. We have to be seen whether the new Fiesta figure, as they say, symbolic, or if the car has its own individual character traits and providing it to a toothy opponents?

To start - the initial data. Despite the fact that in Russia, the car will go on sale in late winter, now know pretty much everything about the structure of supply. The car will be delivered to us in three and pyatidvernoy versions, with two additional doors will have to pay $ 300. Levels komletkatsii three - on fordovskoy tradition called Core, Trend and Ghia. The base engine is considered to be 1.3-liter, followed by engine volume 1.4 and 1.6 liters. The difference in price versions of «automatic» and «mechanics» äîëàðîâ be a thousand. From the first minutes of Fiesta voprinimaetsya as a very serious car. Strong body, plays an attractive faces, stubborn «cheekbones» wheel arches, pyatnadtsatidyuymovye discs.

Powerful front bumper with bad air passing the radiator striped lining, and that prolonged fighting in the grid. I have long remembered as the vehicle for its rigid forms, I like the new Fiesta? Of course, Nissan X-Trail! These machines are overlapped with each other basic proportions, drawing window lines, headlights, and rear do you think twin-brothers. From the same machine fordovskih «Fiesta» be the closest station wagon Mondeo.

The interior of a car designed in the style of «functional minimalism», so to speak. Minimum art sophistications least the buttons and dial, all strict and very practical. In any case, the question «and how it works?» Did not arise at any time. But such a rational «correct» and there is the flip side - what the eye does not catch. Although ... there is something unusual.

For example, the deflectors of the ventilation system «planetary» form. However, exactly the same solution and applied to sitroenovskom C3 direct competitor «Fiesta». But progress hundred percent original. Gauge and coolant temperature attained «electronic analog» shape and grouped in one display under the tachometer. But there has not been without its «but»: read this combination is not the best way.

During the Fiesta that deserves all possible praise is for ergonomics to the driver's seat. Armchair sprofilirovano excellent and well-kept body, the wheel is convenient, but the gear selector to sport high (such as we recently met at the Alfa Romeo 147). Microclimate control unit linked to the classical scheme, and it is only plus.

In general, you have to «Fiesta» a few minutes and it will seem familiar to you, its close. Yes, and you can not forget the fantastic visibility. In conjunction with the abolition of a sense of size, which gives the machine, it allows you to immediately bounce into the riskiest clearances between buses and trucks. To give an opportunity to so easily see this happening around will find.

And what accounts for the rear passengers? It is tolerably! Places for the feet is not always enough, but the shoulders freely (of course, the two adults or three children), and over the heads have a «air». Surprising algorithm folding rear seat: If the backrest recline in installments, the pillow - just a whole. So to carry the goods with all three of desire is not possible. But the trunk is like. Extremely efficient use of space, very good form of the fifth door, the area equal to almost the entire rear of the body. As the saying goes - something that should be.

Most holiday begins when the leaves on a large road. Fiesta suddenly shows unrealistic pryt, amazing, not only others, but also a man sitting behind the wheel. Bundles «engine - the first - second» operates with the highest efficiency possible, not least due to short transmission ratios. Jump lanes, vynyrivat from minor streets to the loaded line, headlong typing speed of right-series flow - a pleasure.

Car deftly fired from traffic lights, a leader triumphantly at short distances. Of course, then everything is in place: 80 km / h acceleration of the rate of falls, and after 100 km / h unambiguity relation between the movement of the accelerator and the growth velocity vanishes. But under the hood - all 1388 «cubes»! The brakes of such poblazhek not dozhdutsya, but as it turned out, they are not needed. Neither the work of the mechanisms nor the ABS observations did not arise.

In cornering, Fiesta is great! At the command driver responds with the hunting and enthusiasm with which puppy is rushing to cast the master ball. Reactions to the actions of driving with lightning speed and extremely accurate, the level of feedback not desired, so dashingly «prochertit» trajectory of any degree of complexity is not much trouble. Comes to the fact that the car literally encourages aggressive driving style, provoking not make overtaking on the line, namely, in turns, zhongliruya losses and gains of adhesion of tires to the canvas. We have never been for the ride «outside a side», but it could not resist and brought it to drift to the turn.

The result - reversing the direction of movement in the opposite, Fiesta has remained within its lane, thus proving the perfection of the suspension settings. It's no secret that it is an outcome driver errors is an important part of a set of active safety. Summing up the interim, I will say that one of those cars that were on our tests in the recent past, so much joy delivered only Mini. Standing by the way, twice the price.

I will not deny that fordovskie engineers - the master. But are not sorcerers. Because of controllability of the newly dead freely convertible smooth progress. If small cracks vyboinkami and suspension copes easily, then quietly work out the roughness pokrupnee it much more difficult. Well still, that does not cover defects caused a puncture and significant trajectory deviations.

Good Is the car Ford Fiesta? Not just good, but the best - in terms of driveability. Excellent - in design, ergonomics, dynamics. I do not know how you, and me personally superiority «Focus» is no longer seen as unequivocal as it seemed before.
