"And then he got drunk and began to insult me \u200b\u200bin front of her friends," says the female voice in the subway with my back. I turn around and see a very pretty girl who complains a friend to life. I do not know, because of what an unknown hero of her story sank to insults, but all this reminded me of the situation with Hatch Nissan Tiida. And his offender.
529 kilometers drove Nissan Tiida in the first two weeks of the test
Country of victorious sedans. It seems that the Russians will stop buying sedans only after they stop producing them. Or when they are called the threat of the territorial integrity of the country. What else can the explanation for the fact that the five-door Nissan Tiida in 2015 was sold threely worse than identical technique sedana Nissan. Sentra?
Look at the "Tiida". She's like Rozy Heintington-Whiteley - maybe not in your taste, but still looks great. Yes, I think so. After all, if you do not take into account the grimble clearance, this is an exact copy of the bright, interesting and most importantly, fresh, unlike last "Tiida", the European Hatchback Pulsar. And Sentra? A thoughtful sedan who has grown out of the Sylphy model, which in 2012 was invented for the China Market.
On the other hand, Nissan Tiida is the product as Russian as the "field of miracles". Because the total with the European Pulsar is only a shell. If the European suggests the newest modular platform (C-D-version of the CMF Trolley of the Renault-Nissan Alliance), Tiida is content with the platform B, the first variation of which appeared 14 years ago. This chassis, by the way, gave life to the platform B0 - Mother of Russian bestsellers "Logan", Sandero and Duster.
The only motor available to Nissan Tiida in Russia is the same as the B-platform, withstood the test of time and poor fuel 1.6-liter atmospheric "Four" on 117 forces and 158 Nm of the moment. Release this engine since 2006, and from the beginning of the 2015th, it was launched in Tolyatti. The same motor is used, for example, on Lada Xray.But with other settings - the "Lada" it gives 110 forces.
On the "Tiid" in a pair with the atmospheric "four", a manual transmission or variator is available. We got a car with a stepless transmission.
Exactly the same set of Sentra: platform B, atmospheric "Four", variator. And see what it turns out: a pretty and stylish hatchback is sold worse exactly the same in terms of a sedan technique, which is boring only to knitting.
Of course, the "Central" have advantages. The most obvious is the volume of the trunk. At the sedan, it is 511 liters against 307 at the "Tiida". But is it a reason for a three-time advantage in sales statistics?
Hatch trunk is really not the most spacious. Weekly food supply or folded children stroller With a pair of bags clog it completely. Perhaps this is the main lack of Nissan. Tiida, which managed to fix in the first days of use.
Such average flow Fuel was recorded in the first two weeks operating Nissan. Tiida.
Even the variator, sending the engine to monotonous buzz on acceleration, and far from an outstanding speaker (more than 11 seconds before "hundreds") were not irritated in the first days of operation. Because, firstly, in traffic jams, all these shortcomings do not cut eyes, and secondly, the same Sentra can not offer anything better.
Therefore, this is what surprises even more: in similar sets of Sentra more expensive "Tiids"! We got a car with the richest equipment: she has two-zone climate control, navigation (albeit with medieval graphics), Bluetooth, 17-inch wheels, heated chairs, rear view camera and even LED headlights of the head light. For such a car asked, excluding discounts and special offers, exactly a million rubles. Similar "Centra" will cost 200 thousand more expensive.
One of the miniature representatives of the Nissan family is a five-door hatchback Nissan. Tiida - was chosen by us for a test drive not by chance - this extreme in winter relevant, more than ever, all-wheel drive SUVs became. We decided to check whether it is possible to combine so comfortable small dimensions in the city, allowing to move around Kazan roads.
INTERIOR
The Tiida Salon turned out to be quite spacious and comfortable, especially pleased with his height, here it can be easily able to get a conveniently to get a man of medium height, but also high enough. The design of the salon and the instrument panel is simple, but a pleasant eye, so you simply turn it out "budget" language. The instrument panel is perceived intuitively and without difficulties.
Could not please the air heating system in the cabin, which allows you to establish the necessary comfortable temperature. In the summer, with a minimum configuration of Nissan Tiida, air conditioning will come to its owner, in more expensive equipment - climate control.
It did not pump up and overview from the salon, more than sufficient visibility through the front glass, as well as small "windows", as if tearing the front racks, and rear-view mirrors with an electric drive allow the driver to fully assess the situation on the road. The truth is there one minus associated rather not with constructive features Car, and with an unusual design - "on an amateur": The fact is that the Tiida hood line is so cool "falls" down, that from the driver's seat, it is simply impossible to evaluate the dimensions of the car's dimensions in front of the driver's seat.
EXTERIOR
And, since the conversation went about the design, it is impossible not to notice that for the hatchback it is really not quite standard: except for low hood lines, also surprises the form of the back of the body, - the lid of the trunk is standardly located at a low angle, but the body is so smoothly merged with the body That forms a practically straight line with him, and the rear lights are contrasting with this harmonious picture.
The bottom edge of the trunk lid is located quite low, which makes it easier to the task of loading there. True, these most gravity in the trunk Tiida will not immerse, the volume is small, you can even say that it is very small for the hatchback. In addition, the rear sites are only the backs and something, not on a very big corner. So large items in such a car carry problematic.
Dynamic qualities
But on the road Tiida showed almost ideal characteristics for its class. The sensitive steering wheel gave excellent handling everywhere - on the forest road, in a deep rut and even on uneven icy road covering. Optimal size And the coating of the steering wheel allows you to feel even more confident, not to mention the electric power steering, come true in almost any modern foreign car. Clearance tiida. It is possible to consider complete confidence sufficient even for the Kazan winter.
The automatic transmission also turned out to be at an altitude, showing good overclocking dynamics, quite sufficient not only for the city, but also for the route. Nissan Tiida is equipped with a 1.6 liter engine and takes 110 horses under the hood. Oddly enough, this is enough for the normal operation of the automatic transmission even in winter conditions, the car, which is called, "pulls out" from the snow and the rut is easy.
Some comments deserves the suspension, which recently the Nissan car takes the highest planks. Such a smooth and comfortable move, like Tiida, perhaps you could rather expect from a business class car. On the roads, where in some counterparts and competitors of this car, the driving would seek "as on the train", Tiida looked, without having delivered its passengers the slightest inconvenience.
SAFETY
And of course, the abundance of basic equipment ensuring safety in all senses of the word:
Frontal airbags for driver and passenger
-Furning side airbags
-Anct locking system brakes (ABS)
-Electronic system Brake Distribution (EBD)
-Amplifier emergency braking BRAKE ASSIST)
- Central Castle S. remote control
-Locking rear doors from random discovery by children
-Imobilizer
-Antive front seats head restraints
-Repers of the safety of the driver's and passenger seat with pretensioners and load limiters
-3-point seat belts for rear passengers
-3 headrest rear seats
- Running for children's seats ISOFIX standard
-System Warnings O. unsecured belts Security
In general, by chassis, comfort and safety, as well as technical characteristics Nissan Tiida can be considered one of the few optimal solutions In the choice of urban car. In Kazan roads, he showed himself a worthy representative of the Japanese family.
The final assessment of the car:In place of a sad view of a siffese-free headlights - cunning Asian LED optics, instead of smooth, like a water surface of the sides - tempting reliefs, creating a rapid image, instead of a simple feed - appetizing bumper forms and a cunning circuit rear Lights. Comparing the new "Tiida" with its predecessor, such "instead" can be chosen from a dozen, and the new hatchback from Nissan is only for Russia. In the US, China and Europe, he appeared in 2012.
From the European Pulsear, our tidis can be distinguished by increased clearance, the absence of a rubber lip on front bumper and side mirror housings without repeaters of turn signals.
N and first view of our "Tiida" and European Nissan Pulsar - Brothers Gemini. Outside, the difference is only in the absence of a rubber "skirt" under the front bumper, other rear view mirrors and deeper notes under the handle of the doors. However, in fact - Tiida and Pulsar children of different parents. More precisely - platforms. If the machine for Europe, America and Asia lay down the "trolley" with a letter "V", on which Note and Micra were built, the Russian Tiid was built on the older Nissan B platform, which is distinguished by the floor panel, subframes, other rear beam, shock absorbers and springs.
Instead of xenon, Tiida's top trimps is equipped with LED front headlights.
With the late, laconic without special sings and bold solutions, the interior of "Tiida" is almost identical to the Sedan Nissan Sentra. The finish uses a lot of pliable soft plastic, dashboard With large dials and neutral cold-white lights, it is perfectly read at any time of the day, and a clearly structured central console with a touch screen of a multimedia system and a climate installation unit has already become a classic automotive fashion genre.
Calm concise interior with plenty of soft plastic in the finish.
Pool disappointment overtakes when you fall into a soft pillow of shapeless front armchairs with unbearable lateral support and missing lumbar adjustment. Not the best impression leaves the "plush" trim of the cabin, the alternatives not even in top equipment Tekna. But rear - Royal Spacious. Here Nissan Tiida will give odds to many d-class sedans. At the Hatchback Gallery, the passenger of medium height sits in almost a twenty-penette meter in the knees. It is unlikely that I am wrong if Nissan Tiida is named the most spacious car for the rear passengers in the classroom. And here there is practically no central tunnel in the middle, and the rear door glasses are lowered completely than not all competitors "Nissan" can boast.
But the trunk of "Tiida" is small. Only 307 liters of useful space, and even in the folded position of the back of the rear sofa, the forming of a rather noticeable step. Well, at least that on the sides there are two small niches where you can put, for example, a liter bottle with butter and not be afraid that it is a belch.
To AK and in the case of Sentra sedan, the engine for Nissan Tiida is offered only one. The 1.6-liter atmospheric motor issues 117 hp. and 158 nm. A pair of it is offered either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a clinorem variator from Jatco.
N and the move "Tiida" does not ignite. The ideology of the Japanese hatchback is rather aimed at leisurely comfortable movement than on driver qualities. Under the tedious "varitator" hum of the engine up to 100 km / h Nissan accelerates for a long 11.8 seconds. To achieve a tangible acceleration on the gas pedal, it is necessary to urge until it stops and as cracked. Under the smooth operation with the accelerator, the car accelerates slowly, without a light. After pressing the transmission sport mode key, located on the arm of the variator lever, Nissan becomes more responsive, the electronics increases the speed, but the roast of the engine becomes even more.
Tiid rides without a light, but it is reliable and comfortable.
N o do not hurry to write off the "Tiid" with accounts. Hatch has his trumps. For example, as opposed to the modest dynamics of Nissan puts fuel consumption. During the test, the appetite of our car amounted to only about 7 liters per hundred kilometers. And the "Tiida" has very good noise insulation. In the cabin quietly almost at any speed and coating.
P Testa "Nissan" left a double impression. On the one hand, this is an excellent smoothness of the stroke and the chassis work with small irregularities. Cracks in the asphalt and small-caliber tiida pits swallowing imperceptibly for passengers. But it is worth the wheels to please in a large pit, should a deaf blow and the body shake unpleasant vibrations. Moreover, the greatest discomfort feel passengers on the gallery. Therefore, claims can be attributed to the rear suspension.
In the minuses - rolls in turns, in the pros - good noise insulation.
In the turns and on steep protracted arcs, the high hatchback is noticeably cubed, but it stands clear on the trajectory. The steering wheel of "Tiida" is long (almost 3.5 turns from the stop up to the stop). Hence the low sensitivity on the turns "Baranki". It interferes with active ride, but it cannot be suitable for those who are important to comfort. It is impossible not to note the impressive ground clearance. According to this indicator, Tiida easily replays its competitors and can even move with some urban crossovers. Therefore, the result of the first acquaintance with Nissan Tiida is simple. This car is perfect for those who are looking for comfortable Thatchback with a survey from behind, great clearance and good noise insulation.
One of the important advantages of Nissan Tiida for russian market is a huge clearance.
These on Nissan Tiida in Russia begins with 779,000 rubles, for the basic component of Welcome with a five-speed "mechanics". Most affordable car With the variator costs 848,000 rubles. Finally, the top hatchback with a good set of equipment, including navigation and LED front headlights, is estimated to 970,000 rubles.
Acquaintance with the model
Before us car from japanese companies Hissan - Tiida. Despite the fact that the release of this model was established at home in 2004, and only three years came to Russia and called from Mexico (there is a plant), the model has acquired unheard of popularity among Russians. And not only! For example, China buys almost 100 thousand of these cars every year. Tidis has been performed in the classic, for hatchback style, has a large number of functions, and the Japanese identity made auto safe and qualitatively assembled! In 2013, the release ceased old version And the renewed Nissan appeared on the market. At our disposal of Tiida 2012, that is, the first "wave". Buy such a toy in good condition With mileage, on average, for 300-500 thousand rubles. Let's turn to a more dense acquaintance with Japanese.
BODY
Outwardly, the car can few be able to conquer at first sight - high, but short it does not attract to him, and the rolled, drunken hood is the exact opposite of a square trunk. The style itself is very calm, you can say classic, so the car came out not noticeable and easily lost on the roads. IN basic configuration It has metal disks 15 inches and rubber 195/65 R15. The Japanese offer the buyer 10 different colors of this car - from silver metal to black. Weighs such a miracle on average 1700 kg, there is a complete set, and there is also harder - everything solves the size of the wallet and desire. Externally, the car may seem small, but his salon is truly huge, for a hatchback, of course.
SALON
The car is fully optimized - everything they could - hid or moved away, thereby freeing the place. Places for the driver and the front passenger is quite enough, the dashboard and the control unit is very ergonomic - it is possible to reach out without tightening with your hand. The salon is covered with high-quality cloth, and in expensive equipment - genuine leather. Seat adjustment is soft and smooth, and the gearbox is always at hand. Wide and high windshield allows the driver to completely see the road. Behind the same way can fit free 3 people - there is enough space to all. A huge plus here is the ability to push the chair on, second, 240 mm! They are in the proportion of 60/40 and allow you to significantly increase luggage compartment. By the way about it. Its volume is 425 liters, and together with the bins - 463. Folding rear seat It is possible to increase its volume by almost 2.5 times, which will allow you to transport you a load long to 2400 mm. In general, the salon and the trunk are made for practical and functional people - nothing superfluous, maximum place and all at hand. Looks a little deeper.
ENGINE
Nissan autoconecern offers two engines for the choice of Russians, and, oddly enough, both gasoline. Diesel motors are produced for Europe, which are very popular. Our gasoline is produced in two versions - 1.6 l and 1.8 liters. The principle of their device is almost the same - in line four, 4 inlet / release valves for each of the cylinders, two camshafts. Power 110 hp and 126 hp Correspondingly. On average, 100 km / h These motors are issued for 9-10 seconds. Both engines are refilled exclusively AI-95, and the flow rate is 100 km away in the area of \u200b\u200b7.5 liters and depends on the volume of the engine and the gearbox: 110 horses on the mechanics eat 6.9 liters, on the machine - 7.4 l, and 126 horses - 7.8 liters. Engines are not capricious and the only thing they do not like - not high-quality and not in time replaced oil. By the way, engines 126 hp Younger than 2012, no longer see the production of Tiida with this engine turned on the market, because of the update model in the same year. I want to note very good dynamics Overclocking - the engine of 1.6 liters on the machine very cheerfully accelerates to his 186 km per hour, which cannot please the lovers sometimes to "submit" the brass on the deserted track. Now let's turn to an equally important part, and for some drivers, especially girls decisive.
PPP and suspension
For a 1.6 l tidid motor has two types of gearbox - five-speed mechanics and a four-step automaton. For 1.8 liters - only six-speed mechanics. Minuses have only two boxes, one by one automatic transmission and manual transmission. The first as well as the engine loves good oil and requires it to change at least every 60,000 km., Well, the machine is sometimes noise - bearings work. The problem is solved in two ways - the transition to GL 5 (lubricant), or the early replacement of these the most bearings, which takes more time and money. But then the choice is behind the owner of the car. A few words about the suspension: it is made specifically for our roads - incredibly energy-intensive, easily controlled with our ughabs and holes and allows you to safely go to any moment on the aggressive driving style. Unfortunately, only the driver who watches his beauty will receive very demanding in its maintenance and its advantage and keeps it in good condition. Since this is a golf class, then there are torsion beams on the rear wheels and Mac-Person on the front. Because of the good and correct distribution of weight on the suspension, the car behaves selflessly the road is great - holds the trajectory, it is well cling to his four for asphalt, shattered on beats and gently turns into turns. ABS, EBD and some other systems are perfectly helping.
All photo sessionSo translates from the Japanese word "Tiida". How does the coming new day sees Nissan, withdrawing to our market new version Popular car?
Russia meets this "Dawn" for the second time. The first generation Nissan Tiida (C11) has been produced since 2004, and since 2007 its sales began in our country. The second generation of C12, shown in the showroom in Shanghai in 2011, we actually passed us, and today we get the third "generation" of the hatchback from Nissan. In Europe, it is known as Pulsar ( model year - 2014), but this is not quite a "that" car.
What is the difference? First of all, in ... platform. The "Pulsar" she has a new (V), and Tiida for Russia is built on the former (B) - on the same that has been based on the first generation of the model. What is the reason for this solution? In our roads! The car for the Russian market should, by definition, have an enlarged road clearance, the new platform did not allow it to increase it to the planned 155 mm, it would be necessary for too much changes. Therefore, it was decided to return to the V. platform also in comparison with the "Pulsar" of the Russian version changed the suspension settings. The rest of the differences (design, finishing materials, etc.) are insignificant.
But if you compare our second "Tiida" with the first, then the changes will be very noticeable. The car has become 84 mm longer and 73 mm wider, plus its wheelbase increased by 97 mm. And before the spacious, the Tiida was pleased in the salon, became more "air". Thus, the space for the legs (or rather, the distance between the backs of the rear and front seats) is 692 mm for it - it significantly exceeds the average indicators for sedans of C- and even the D-class! For comparison, from the Nissan Sentra sedan, this parameter is 662 mm, that is, the hatchback, it turns out even spacious. A reasonable question: what kind of driver is the distance? I measured the gap between the rear sofa pillow and the backrest of a driver's seat when landing ". I got 370 mm. I will add approximately the half-meter length of the rear sofa pillow ... How much does it turn out? In general, if you wish to sit behind, thumping my leg to foot - please.
"Sacrificing" of a large cabin, alas, the trunk fell. The new hatchback has only 307 liters. Of course, parts of the back of the rear sofa can be easily folded, having received a "three" volume of approximately 1390 liters. However, the backs are not in the smooth floor, but with a noticeable "step". Approximately the same as in the Nissan Almera sample of 2014. Representatives of Nissan say that about 50 l useful volume of the trunk "eaten" full-size spare wheel (also the traditional-needed solution for Russia). And I still sorry that the branch for things turned out so small. Although the volume of the trunk is new Tiida and exceeds the Note hatchback.
In overclocking from 80 to 120 km / h, Tiida hatchback is playing at Senta Sentra no more than a second (in the Sport mode of the variator or fourth transmission mechanical box). The result is somewhere 16-17 seconds. Approximately the same at the "urban" accelerations "from 60 to 80 km / h - 7-8 seconds, no less (with" mechanics "- in the third gear).
Apparently, the coming new days are prepared by "Nissanovs" relatively carefree. Why do something carry on your own car, when can you always hire freight and order delivery? And you need to travel, with a minimum of things, but necessarily with a smartphone or tablet. You can recharge it in "TIID" in front (12-volt socket - at the bottom of the central console). There is and connect mobile device With Nissan Connect multimediasystem and output your favorite applications on a 5.8-inch touch screen with anti-reflective coating.
During the test of the new "Tiida", the image from this screen suddenly gone. Without a visible reason, what is called, in broad daylight. And the reason is exactly the white day, bright and sunny. I just turned on the headlights of the headlight, and the image "muddled" to almost complete darkness. Apparently, the car "decided", which, since the Middle Light was included, it means that night came, and it is necessary to reduce the brightness of the screen so that it does not blind and distract the driver. Conclusion: Operating a new "TID", use the day of LED running lights and install the light switch to the AUTO position. Then the image from the screen of the multimediasystem is not going anywhere.
More similarities than differences
Front cabin panel - one to one is the same as in Nissan Sentra. There is no difference, except that there is no remote discharge button of the trunk door. Here is exactly the same sense of the quality of the assembly and the quality of the finishing materials (elastic plastic of the top of the torpedo, inserts from the silver "braid") - and at the same time, in all this, there is some barely catchy averability, the standard, following by unshakable canons. I could only glitter the first generation interior of the "Tiida", and it seems to me that this spirit of averaging got a new car inheritance. No, no renewal and even boredom does not seize this interior, and indeed the same panel double-zone climate control (Starting with the Elegance configuration) looks great and read even with bright sunlight. High clarity distinguishes and combination of devices with white digitization and easy-to-read display on the screen on-board computerwhich, by the way, is present on the "Tiid", starting with Welcome version. By the way, even the basic car is equipped with ABS, ESP, frontal airbags and a multifunctional steering wheel, adjustable both in height and flight.
Along with the front panel of the new "Tiida" and "Centra" the same seats. With the difference that the "Centra" has a leather finish with "Tiida", only suede. It is very pleasant to the touch, but is offered only in the "top" configuration of Tekna, in the rest of the versions - fabric, however, in different combinations, which looks pretty. In general, it turned out that the positioning of "Central" was "recalculated" in Nissan, and now it is proposed to those who took place to family men between the ages of 30 and 50.
More differences than similarities
Externally, the sedan and hatchback are similar much less than it may seem on the photographs. Actually, I would not call them two identical body panels. Is that, very similar on the outlines of the front wings, yes wheel disks Identical. Otherwise, all different. At the "Tiida" of a completely different "look" of headlights, like a falseradiator lattice (in the TEKNA pick-up, low headlights provide LEDs). In front of the hatchback looks incent, more vigorous than a solid sedan. Tiida sought to make more youth.
And it turned out! As it is neither paradoxically, with the same aggregates and elements of the chassis of the hatchback, it goes more assembled and even more gambling than a sedan. What's the matter? The wheelbase in two cars is the same (2700 mm), suspension schemes, too (in front of the MacPherson rack, rear torsion beam). Maybe it's about the weighing?
Tiida hatchback is equipped with 1.6-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 117 liters. s., like Sentra sedan. And the same gearboxes: five-speed "mechanics" or stepless variator Jatco with 7 virtual gears. In fact, check their number is difficult, since there is no manual choice of "steps", and the switching during the movement is practically not noticeable.
At the old "Tiida", which came to Russia as much from Mexico (!!), the set of aggregates was greater. These were the engines with a working volume of 1.6 and 1.8 liters and power, respectively, 110 and 126 liters. from. And abroad, this car was known and with diesel. Gearboxes - five-speed mechanical and four-band "automatic".
It so happened that at the beginning of the test drive of the new Tiida, I had to go with a partner to ... Sentra. By chance, or not this model was in our "company", it was not possible to find out, but the two models were able to compare. Moreover, immediately in the "combat" conditions - on the streets of Tbilisi. Here and the condition of the coating in many places leaves much better, and many streets, especially in the old part of the city, narrow, like burgers of Georgian wine bottles, and relief without an exaggeration of mountain, because the test route assumed a rise to the old Mtazminda monastery, which was almost such The altitude on which the local television branch is installed. Add to this the fact that the Nissan Connect navigator is completely uncommon in the Georgian capital, and had to follow the instructions established on the tablets issued to us. "Acutes" added the moral drivers. I happened to visit Georgia about two years ago, so, the behavior of local motorists did not improve on the iota, but the traffic has increased markedly. So I had to adapt to the local conditions, which is called, on the go.
If the embankments of the Kura River are still relatively smooth (in the sense, almost horizontal), then it is necessary to minimize into the old town on the right bank, as the streets start literally climbing the mountainside. It can be seen as it is not easy for car owners with mechanical transmissions to touch, I think the clutch mechanisms are here - consumables. With a variator, it is much easier to overcome these places, but gradually it becomes difficult. The car barely pulls on some rises, ready to stop almost! We stop and turn on the "reduced" transmission L, there is such a device. The case is settled, I'm still more confident, but ... slightly. It looks like the engine is missing ...
And after all, it really is missing! I remember last year's autumn test Sentra on the roads of Spain. 16-valve 1.6-liter 117 strong petrol aggregate HR16DE, which develops only 158 nm of torque at 4000 rpm, allowed to accelerate from 60 to 80 km / h about 7-8 seconds, too much! And from 80 to 120 km / h I had to "get" for long 18 seconds!
But this is a little later, but as long as we literally spin on the narrow streets, it is also a thing of braking before carefree pedestrians, able to start crossing the roadway anywhere and at any time, regardless of the walking transport (there is no one to miss anyone nor on the other side), as well as with a chill on the back, ride with a large number of taxis and distribution vans - from the newest European and japanese models Before Ridvanov, the times of Tsar David (the latter are much more than the first). We can not thank "Nisansov": and "Central", and "Tiida" they presented excellent brakes! We could seem too sharp from us, but for the conditions of the Georgian capital were just right. Moreover, ABS did not hurry to work even on the slopes covered with a cobblestone, more slippery than asphalt. Such sites, what is there, whole quarters, in the old Tbilisi is full.
In one place, we specially stopped the car on cool descentTo take a picture of his rare "relative": the original "dual-door" Nissan Figaro, released only in 1991! How this rarity got into the Transcaucasian Republic, unknown. In general, the fleet here is extremely diverse, even the motley. And in general, "Nissanov" a lot, including old Tiida, including the right-handed copies. Their owners and the owners have always looked at the new generation representatives with interest. The car turned out not too bright and catchy, but the stream is not lost. The former Tiida with all the originality of the body design was much more suitable for the definition of a "gray mouse".
Nissan Figaro with the body "Cabriolet" was produced only in 1991, "circulation" of only 20,000 copies. Built on the first generation Nissan Micra platform. Engine - gasoline with a turbocharger with a capacity of 76 liters. p., Gearbox - three-band "automatic".
As we found out, in general, both Nissan novelties masterfully cope with urban conditions, even difficult as Tbilisi. Fit into steep and very cool turns of the streets of the Old Town, having a minimum diameter of the turn from the wall to the wall of 11 m, and from the curb to the curb - 10.1 m. By the way, the borders can not be very afraid, the lower point of the car is at an altitude of 155 mm, Only that is where she, we could not find out. But definitely not under the front and rear bumpers, there is a distance above. Also, "Centra", and "Tiida" offer good "pictures" in all three mirrors, as well as on the screens of the Nissan Connect system - its presence assumes the installation on the machine of the rear chamber. Only there are cameras, but there are no parking sensors, so when moving reverse Better, in addition to the attention on the screen, get out of the outside, in the open door, or even ask the colleague to go out and post for maneuver. Although in Georgia a significant part of the fleet is extremely beaten, why should we exacerbate this position?
Catch up and overtake
On the highway outside Tbilisi, we are moving with a colleague already on Tiida. Surprisingly, the hatchback compared to the sedan is perceived as a more assembled, "tightened". Pendant "Centra" can sometimes quietly "report" about irregularities under the wheels, the suspension "Tiida" almost in the same situations categorically "silent". Ogrechi russian assembly? Both cars are already assembled on the conveyor in Izhevsk, and information about, allegedly, who had "shoals" were surrendered: chatted seals, crookedly installed fuse blocks and even rugs. But also it became known that these defects were single and manifested only in the very first collected "Centrah", after which they did not repeat. The only traditional complaint of buyers of this model is often encountered cases of poor-quality wheel balancing.
It was possible to find out that many consider this the cause of low-level curricy model on the highway. Last year, we also made sure: at high speeds of "Central" can slightly "swim". But the bad wheel balancing can hardly affect it, rather, it will cause vibration, and, very noticeable in a certain range of speeds (sometimes narrow). This was not observed for sure. I, perhaps, wrote off the lightweight course instability of the sedan on the wrong angles of the front wheels. But here is a paradox: Tiida on similar wheels did not show a hint of the course instability! Maybe Georgian highways are not as direct as Spanish autobahn? Maybe asphalt in these countries is different? But the fact remains a fact: the term stability of "Tiida" frankly pleased.
"Centra" launched in the bridges - and "Tiida", unfortunately, the cinema. But with her, we were "lucky" more, or rather, with the conditions of the test. Spanish expanses were relatively smooth, the relief was constantly observed in Georgia, and the roads among the fields began to quickly rise into the mountains, forming real serpentines. And here we noted with a partner that, despite the crinics, the hatchback is desperately cling to the canvas, and therefore body slopes are not perceived as frightening. We dreamed before they gradually began to eat local (!!) drivers, including those who had cars with constant fully drive. However, we came across the most calm from Georgian drivers, because not a single taxi driver could not be overtaken, they themselves "did" as those who stand in similar situations.
I believe that in a considerable degree cause of excellent stability in the turns of steel tires Pirelli. Cinturato, in which there were "tits" test "Tiids." As for the suspension, the "territory of comfort", as in advertising, I would not call this car. It is a little harsh, although it is compensated by soft seats in the cabin. They do not offer a chain of lateral support, but they are simply comfortable. And the back does not get tired even after long distillations. And adjustment of height is comparable to the height of the Caucasian Mountains - well, very significant!
In general, decent handling during high-speed races on winding mountain roads surprised also because this model has an incredibly "long" steering wheel - as many as 3.5 turns from the stop until it stops. But believe me, when maneuvers at the speed you do not even feel, on the contrary, note that the car is very willingly responding to the turns of the Baranki. And the effort on it does not give "artificiality", although the electric powerlier is applied here. And "zero" on straight, although it is necessary to grope, but without much difficulty. It seems that, in the settings of the steering mechanism, the "Centra" and "Tiids" should not be any difference, but it is felt. Maybe it's in more "right" corners of the wheel installation?
As for the dynamics, a slightly lighter Tiida was barely broken from "Centra". From 0 to 100 km / h Tiida accelerates in about 11 seconds, actually like Sentra, but about real life It says little. But in the acceleration from 80 to 120 km / h, the hatchback was still playing at the sedan around a second (in the Sport variator mode or on the fourth transmission under the manual box). The result - somewhere 16-17 seconds, as they say, is not the god of the news ... about the same and at the "urban" accelerations "from 60 to 80 km / h - 7-8 seconds, no less (with" mechanics "- on the third Transfer). Thus, the "mechanical" versions cannot be called significantly more dynamic than "automatic". You can squeeze out of the engine all the "juices", by replienting it to a frank stall at 6000 rpm, but it will be a little sense. The main pickup is felt at 3200-3500 rpm and to 5000 rpm already turns into a "decline".
"Sacrificing" of a large cabin, alas, the trunk fell. The new hatchback has only 307 liters. Of course, parts of the back of the rear sofa can be easily folded, having received a "three" volume of approximately 1390 liters. However, the backs are not in the smooth floor, but with a noticeable "step".
But in general, the "mechanics", with which I was not able to get acquainted last year, now made the most positive impression on me. The course of the pedal of clutch may be slightly large, but it is not critical, and the drive has enough informative. And the transmissions switches exclusively clearly, and the moves of a small lever with a massive handle are very short. The maximum torque is declared for 4000 rpm, but, as I have already noted, the increase in thrust is noticeably felt a little earlier, and the long-term design of the cylinder-piston group (the piston stroke is larger than the diameter of the cylinder allows you to pull almost 1500 rpm. But just pull. If you are moving in a sluggish stream with such revolutions on the third gear, it is unlikely to chalk, but you can't break down to overtake. It will be necessary to "closer" the second and "promotion" at least up to 2500 rpm. In general, the motor has an elastic character. But the additional "horses" would not hurt him, oh, how they did not prevent!
It was interesting to compare and fuel consumption. It has "mechanical" and "automatic" "Tiida" turned out to be ... almost the same. On the track where cars were constantly tested for dynamic qualities (our crew came to 150 km / h), the onboard computer was displayed 8.0-liter consumption, in mixed cycle (The highway often took place on the settlements, where they had to push among tractors and old changi riders, who remembered the years of the Soviet stagnation) this figure was raised to 8.5 liters on "hundred". When you turn on the sports mode of the variator, the line on the on-board computer screen, which demonstrates the instantaneous consumption, took off to a 30-liter mark, but for some reason the average consumption did not increase as much as much. And we almost used the usual variator mode: when it turned on, the hatchback became frankly boring.
Decent successful
Perhaps the new Tiida, in the address of which it is possible is much less criticism, will find its buyer. At least from those who owned the car of the first generation, and there were a lot of them, because he divided into our country in the amount of 90 thousand copies. Moreover, in this number, it is certainly not included in the reference versions, popular in the Far East (among them, by the way, even all-wheel drives that use in the design rear bridge Electromotor). All the benefits of the novelty are obvious, including the design: the car stopped being a funny original, and acquired a bit averaged, but quite modern and attractive appearance. By the way, for connoisseurs of the salon height: an increase in length and width, the model has kept its height. So even high passengers to rest on their heads in the ceiling will not have.
It remains only to wish that marketers achieve the possibility of installing the air conditioner to the basic version. Otherwise, at a price of 838 thousand rubles, she simply loses meaning. And I would also suggest to change the texture of the steering wheel: make it more "rough" and "grasp", that is, increase the thickness. I do not think it is difficult or expensive.
It is a pity, but it is much more difficult to increase the modest volume of the trunk ... Well, we will meet the "dawn of a new day" light, leaving the cargo of concerns in the day yesterday.
