Driving school "Zhayvoronok" is your reliable teacher of driving on Kiev roads
Acquisition of a car in our time is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. But it is not enough to buy a car, you also need to learn how to operate it correctly. And at this stage, the question of choosing a good driving school in Kiev and, accordingly, an instructor who will help you master all the wisdom of driving a car becomes acute. What should be paramount for you when choosing a driving school? The first is, of course, read the reviews about the school you have chosen.
There is usually a lot of such information on the Internet, unless, of course, the driving school has not only opened and is not a dark horse. Secondly, specify which vehicle fleet the driving courses have and whether they have a basis for training driving. And what conditions are offered to you. Also a very important point is the number of hours planned by the driving school for the student's practical training. Driving schools often provide 10 hours of driving, at first glance it seems to be enough, but in practice this is negligible and the student simply does not have time to master the driving skills and subsequently, you have to hire an instructor for a fee.
If you are a resident of Kiev and you are familiar Svyatoshinskydistrict then you are in luck. After all, it is in this area that the driving school "Zhayvoronok" is located. The driving school has a convenient location, namely between the metro station Zhitomirskaya and Akademgorodok.
Thanks to this location, our driving courses will be close to people living both in the Borschagovka area (Sofievskaya Borschagovka), and in Belichi and the Chaika residential area.

Emergency training courses
Our driving school educates drivers who are not afraid to be next to them on the road. Unlike most driving courses where they teach to pass exams in the traffic police, we value our reputation and teach us how to drive and avoid accidents on the roads. Having studied the statistics of road accidents, it was made a disappointing conclusion that the largest percentage of accidents occurs through the veins of drivers whose driving experience is no more than three years.
In order to avoid getting students into such an unpleasant situation in our driving school, you will take courses on emergency training. This is a very important point for the modern driver. The quality of the roads and the skills of the drivers that surround us often leave much to be desired.
It is for this reason that it is very important to be prepared for an unpredictable situation. A professional instructor will teach you how to drive a car in emergency situation, such as ice, as well as correct behavior and competent driving when skidding and drifting off the road. With an instructor, you will learn to predict and calculate in advance the situation on the road, thanks to which later, you will be able to avoid an emergency.
It is very important to consider and understand the main causes of accidents and analyze them with a professional instructor in a driving school, and not carry them on the road, going through this school at the cost own car, and sometimes your health. Also, on the emergency training course, you will have the opportunity to study and work out the rules of accident-free parking and high-speed taxiing using specialized simulators.
40 hours of driving with an experienced driving school instructor
In our driving school you will get 40 hours of driving, and this is an important practice that is necessary for a novice car enthusiast. Indeed, for a beginner, the main thing is experience and skills that can only be acquired with practice and nothing else. An experienced instructor of our driving school will help you avoid mistakes on the road and show you how to protect yourself from them in the future. The instructor will share not only his knowledge, but also his experience, and this will help in the future to avoid troubles on the road.
Own race track
Another advantage of the driving school in Kiev "Zhaivoronok" is the presence of its own autodrome. Not every driving school can boast of having a high-quality autodrome. And where if not at the circuit to practice driving skills. After all, many of you will sit behind the wheel for the first time and you will need to start from the very basics of driving and training these skills on the streets of the city can be unpleasant, and in some cases even dangerous. Of course, we will not spend all the time at the circuit, driving will also take place on the streets of Kiev, but this will happen after you get used to the car and feel more or less confident behind the wheel. Also, thanks to the fact that our driving school has an autodrome, you do not have to wait for your turn to perform a maneuver and the driving practice will turn out to be fruitful.
Driving school "Zhaivoronok" is located in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev, near the metro stations Akademgorodok and Zhitomirskaya, Nyvky. Thanks to this location, we are easily accessible to residents of nearby districts Belichi, Novobelichi, residential area Chaika, Svyatoshino and Borschagovka... We will also be glad to see residents of more remote districts of Kiev. We will help you become a really good driver. After all, we are never ashamed of our graduates. And we are calm when the drivers released by our driving school meet on the road. After all, we are sure that these people really know how to behave on the road and how to drive a car correctly and react in emergency situations.
We train drivers with whom we will ride on the same roads!
In Europe, experiments on the creation of "pseudo-crossovers" have long been in vogue - ordinary cars that are dressed up in a plastic body kit and sometimes increase the ground clearance. And more often than not about any all-wheel drive and out of the question. According to this principle, for example, those that are missing from us or the Volkswagen CrossPolo are made. An empty niche in Russia compact cars with a crossover orientation, the Chinese Chery with the IndiS model decided to take. Chery decided to introduce his new product at the Myachkovo circuit. Apparently, this was to demonstrate that IndiS is not afraid of sharp turns or high speeds.
As Gennady Pavlov, head of Chery's Russian office, explained the name of the novelty, IndiS stands for independence, individuality and special.
When you look at the IndiS, you can immediately guess the features of the subcompact hatchback Kimo / A1, the further development of the QQ. True, there is a station wagon body, more dimensions, but the clearance is quite large - as much as 180 mm. IndiS is marketed as a car for, therefore it has unpainted bumpers, ground clearance 180 mm, plastic fenders. In urban conditions, compact dimensions should play into the hands. However, the tall and narrow body immediately causes skepticism: how stable will this car be in corners?
The mirrors and door handles are unpainted, the rear door handles are unusually vertical. The trunk opens only after pressing a button in the cabin - it is not very convenient if you approach the car, say, with bags from the store. 275 liters of usable volume is not too much for a crossover, albeit compact, but with unfolded rear seats the volume can be increased up to 1000 liters. Summer residents will love the roof rails, which can withstand 45 kg.
The salon is as austere as possible, but rather cozy, made in light gray colors. There will be enough room in the back for only two. The center console is as simple as five yuan: all the levers are cheap and lightweight, made of thin plastic. Instruments are located in the center, under the windshield: on the left - a small tachometer, on the right - fuel level and temperature gauges. A fashionable solution - a digital speedometer, over which the electronic tachometer line runs - looks fun. This screen did not cause any drawbacks in the daytime, it did not glare in the sun, but the poisonous blue backlight is unlikely to be comfortable for the eyes at night.
It is not so easy to find a comfortable fit, despite the adjustment of the steering wheel for reach and height: either your hands reach the steering wheel, or your legs are cramped. And the lever mechanical box located too low.
Under the hood Chery IndiS there is a 1.3-liter engine with 83 hp. - not much for a car weighing 1175 kg. Out of habit, many deaf - on low revs the motor does not live at all, it is constantly necessary to gas it. The working range is small: only at 3500 rpm you begin to feel that traction has finally gone to the wheels, as at 4000 the plaintive howl of the engine makes you look in horror at the tachometer - is it already a red zone?
In principle, there are no complaints about the box itself - you won't miss the switch. If you are not used to long-travel clutch, you can release the pedal early - the car jerks, but this is a matter of practice.
On the budget car I haven’t had to drive on the highway to Myachkovo yet. Naturally, there are no stabilization systems on the IndiS, no complex suspensions: McPherson in front, semi-independent in the back. However, the little car coped well with the task: of course, the tall body rolls noticeably in fast turns, the car drifts a little off the trajectory, but in urban modes this is unlikely to bother the driver, especially since the engine and transmission do not provoke sports records. The steering wheel pleases with adequate feedback.
In addition to the track, there were provided for such "obstacles" as a rocky surface, an overpass and "swing" - nothing that could not cope a car... The IndiS rides well over bumps that mimic high hatches on city roads, albeit a little shaking the passengers in the cabin.
Of course, one of the main issues for a Chinese car is safety. Chery IndiS is equipped with two airbags, ABS, electronic brake force distribution. As representatives of Cheri Avtomobili Rus reported, the elements of the body structure are made of high-strength steel, the doors are equipped with steel shock-proof beams, which allow to preserve living space in the cabin upon impact. The crash test of the car, according to Chery representatives, was carried out in China in the presence of independent experts from England using the EuroNCAP method, and its results were positive, but a video of the crash test could not be found. In terms of daily use, as part of the test, the IndiS car drove 50,000 km Russian roads, and not only in the capital, but also in other regions.
Chery IndiS's closest competitor is perhaps. "Frenchman" loses in price - the most affordable version costs 453,000 rubles - 90,000 rubles more. Basic configuration does not differ much in the set of options, except that there is still heated front seats, but the 1.6-liter engine, although it develops almost the same 84 hp, drives much more cheerful and responsive, and the car itself is more stable on the road. In addition, similar technical characteristics can boast and Lada Kalina... Even if she does not try to seem like a crossover, her ground clearance is even greater - 185 mm, but it costs russian car cheaper, even in top-end configurations with ABS. Its top version with air conditioning, full power accessories and an audio system will cost 347,800 rubles.

If you really want to buy at least a small, but crossover, then Chery Indis can be an interesting option. The car received an interesting exterior and, albeit not too spacious, but quite comfortable and practical interior. Quality Chinese cars no longer causes such concerns and is fully consistent with the cost. The only thing that still confuses potential buyers is the safety of equipment from the Middle Kingdom.
Chery Indis has not been independently tested
Chery Indis has not undergone independent tests, not only according to the system of the European committee Euro NCAP, he was not beaten even by the internal Chinese method of C-NCAP, so there is not a lot of objective information at all. During the presentation for domestic market representatives of the company limited themselves to statements about equipping their creation with a sufficient set modern means passive safety.
Some insight into the safety of the vehicle can be gained from factory tests replicating the C-NCAP methodology of a prototype codenamed Riich X1. Before you buy cherry indies, you should familiarize yourself with their results.
The windshield didn't even crack
Tests for a frontal impact from a speed of 50 km / h were passed successfully. Despite significant damage to the front end and a hump on the hood, the cabin capsule remained intact. Windshield it didn't even crack, the pillars weren't deformed either, the doors opened effortlessly. The airbags worked fine.
The power elements on the underbody are slightly reduced. This influenced the test results. The sensors of the standard dummies did not register serious injuries in the head, arms and chest areas. Slightly worse results were obtained for the legs and thighs.
However, one can only guess about the "health" of the dummies after a collision at a speed of 64 km / h, as is customary for the European method. Increasing the starting speed can make its own adjustments.
