Mini Cooper is not at all cooper, and four more models that are called incorrect in Russia. Skoda Fabia: Practical "Stuff Machine Similar to Mini Cooper What is called
Japanese Suzuki. SWIFT is often compared with the British MINI Cooper car. Well, in the outlines of Bestseller Suzuki really there is some similarity to hell with this cult British. However, there is already a runaway inspection of the car near, and even more so next to the "celebrity", says that they are not much like. Japanese Suzuki British has only name - Swift. Apparently, the fate of all cars of this class be compared with mini.
Suzuki Swift rapid, fast, slightly even aggressive. Although the Japanese is weaker than the British motor power, however, it positively affects transport tax - Suzuki SWIFT with its 94 horses falls into the lowest tax rate in Russia. In addition, when comparing these two models with mechanical box Transmissions, fuel consumption per liter of gasoline wins Swift.
About the price of these cars and it is not necessary to talk: for addiction to cult things you have to pay, and a lot. The price difference between these two machines can exceed 100 percent.
Well, comparisons with mini cooper is enough. Now all your attention will be paid to the actual three-door Suzuki SWIFT.
Our test Swift turned out to be unusual: with the help of a Square branded film, he was granted a "personality", allocating him from a number of their collerse. The gray-blue stripes emphasized his elegant athleticity. In addition, only thanks to them white machine Having highlighted on an infinite white background of the fresh snow (and the bad weather accompanied us all the time, and even the assurances of advertising booklets about the fabulous amount of sunny days of the North Crimea - Luga did not help. And when the track, finally, richly sprinkled with salt, the same strips did not give the car to turn into an ordinary dull unrecognizable color of the mud.
Such a decoration of the car will cost about 30 - 35 thousand rubles. But it seemed to me that it was worth it at least for a white machine - the striped swift immediately acquires additional chic.
Only thanks to the striped coloring with the help of a self-adhesive film "Square" our suzuki Swift stand out against the background of infinite white snow.
The thresholds also pleased the eye with a gray-blue finish.
Inside Suzuki, the Swift turned out to be very weathered, and the noble gray color gamut with silver and black accents emphasizes the car warehouse of the car. However, the shape of glass designed to emphasize the sporty character of the car, gives some minuses. At first, hanging on top of the roof and small side windows cause the feeling that you sit like in a tank - a lot of iron around. At the same time, the SWIFT seems wider than it is actually. Because of this, addiction to dimensions is slower. This is especially felt when parking in narrow reverse: High doors reduce overview. But the situation is saved by the mirrors - it can be seen in them well, the dead zones are very small, however, yet, in such a car I would like to have a parking sensor.
On the road, despite the abundance of iron, the visibility of the car is good, and the wide rack does not prevent at all on the road.
On a wide lobby glasswithout closing the review, there is a whole set of autogles taken with you on the road. Behind the mirror rear review Texet DVR-1GP DVR-1GP DVR, for the torpedo, the Radar SHO-ME 530 detector. True, the torpedo-taped for tests did not want to stick the sticky Sho-Me Rug, but the friction force between him and the surface was enough for the antiradar to remain in his place even on Ughab M10. In the corner of the place, there was enough for the navigator in the DVR Lexand SR-5550 HD with which we led us guided by Navitel Navigator 5 navigation program.
The noble gray gamma salon with silver and black accents in the test car is complemented by the "family" decoration of the gearbox knob. Trifle, but pleasant. In general, in Suzuki Swift a lot of pleasant little things relating to comfort: comfortable gloves and a variety of niches, where you can put a different smallest, desired on the road.
Fuel consumption
This parameter must be marked with a large bold plus. No, Suzuki Swift does not "eat" gasoline, he is elegantly sniffed!

Now it is fashionable to sigh that all cars have become the same. They say, everything solve marketers, and not engineers and designers. How wrong! Here are two living examples: nEW MINI Cooper, which remains an impractical style icon, and Kia Soul. The second generation, ready to try on the title of the King of Phantazh, although he divides the chassis with an unpretentious Hatchback Golf Class. But which of them is the most stylish?
After a quick inspection of the new Mini Cooper, who has changed the generation for the third time, only one question arises in the head: "Well, what changed in it?". Reply: everything. Three-door built on new platform, equipped with new engines, and among the body panels there is not a single one with the model of the last generation.
In addition, Cooper according to the trend even slightly grown in dimensions. Hatchback became 98 millimeters longer than 44 millimeters wider and seven millimeters above. Three more centimeters were added to the wheelbase, however, freely from this on the back chairs was not - with comfort, only children are not older than kindergarten. The trunk, although increased by 51 liters, is still suitable only for the carriage of packages from fashion stores.
Kia Soul is 319 millimeters longer, 73 millimeters wider and 179 millimeters above Mini Cooper.
Grounding I. new Kia. Soul: Length and width increased by 20 and 15 millimeters, respectively, and the wheelbase stretched into two centimeters. But the main innovation is his appearance. The former "soul" was also not from the spaces - similar to the trendy refrigerator, he was a typical youth car for the sane money.
And the new one is already a candidate for exposure to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
An even greater minimalism in plastic of body panels, inserts from elegant glossy plastic: This concept car, which mistakenly put up for sale in the nearest motor show.
The interior of KIA designers, unfortunately, turned out to be easier. Yes, there are interesting ideas: horizontally located audio system speakers or a contrasting line of seats. But designer madness, which is counting on after acquaintance with the exterior of "Sokula", does not smell here. Gloomy (black and gray finish is not replaced even for money), boring, and ergonomic flaws are present. The steering wheel is overloaded with the buttons, and the navigation through the multimedia system turns into fascinating decoding of abbreviations like "Wed. Movement."
Whether the interior of the "Cooper", which will warm even the very sessimist himself. What is at least a combined "denim" finish of dense, with developed lateral support for seats, or color inserts on the front panel and door panels. And as you have a couple of separate visors above the driver (for the windshield and side glasses) Or swing engine launch levers and disable stabilization and start-stop systems that you want to click here and here? At the same time, the British abandoned, perhaps the most extravagant and most controversial detail of the interior of the past "Cooper" - the central location of the instruments. The shield moved to the usual place - behind the steering wheel, and the central console is now crowned with a multimedia screen framed by a circular ribbon changing the color of the LEDs.
But MINI clings not to a rounded body design or a bright interior, but with his gambling.
Yes, in what, and in Dr. "Cooper" knows.
This learn instantly changes the direction in response to any deviation of the tight steering wheel, rebuilding almost without rolls, and the three-cylinder turbo engine 1.5 with a capacity of 136 horse power (220 Nm) gives all its turbotting in an inexhaustible stream. Forget about the Natuhny Old Atmospheric 1.6 - the new upgrade unit has changed the character of Mini Cooper beyond recognition. He also pulls great, and sounds bold.
Touch the one hundred percent working way to distinguish the new "mini" from the old - by Famos. The new hatchback in the headlights appeared matte circumference of LED running lights.
"Cooper" and "Sokula" have not only "sports", but also eco-friendly regimes. MINI is called "Green". In the eco-mode "Briton" tries to ride rolling, and an indicator of the number of saved fuel appears on the display. You can even play an eco game: a fish in aquarium is displayed on the screen, which eats asterisks in response to the most smooth ride. SOUL When activating ECO-mode, the operation of the motor and gearbox is translated into economical mode, and the level of power consumption is reduced. climatic Installation. But in fact, the difference between ordinary and economical modes is practically not noticeable.
Riding on the new hatchback Even in a dense urban stream, it turns out so groaning that neither corks nor inadequate drivers of vans will not be able to spoil you the mood - "mini" pierces the flow as a mangown tail.
Translation into the "Sport" of the DRIVING MODES selector responsible for setting up a mechatronic chassis makes "Cooper" even sharper. The response to pressing the pedal of the gas is reduced, the steering wheel is added extra weight (the "mini" fans will be delighted, and the rest will encounter that the power steering finally broke), "AUTOMA" tries to keep the reduced transmission to the victorious end, and adjustable shock absorbers (If the dealer is paid for them) become tougher. Three-door turns if not in "hot", then at least in the "heated" hatch. It is a pity that at the same time unnecessary nervousness appears in the nature of the car, and a well-tuned "automatic" suddenly begins to change the transfer with annoying jokes.
No, to get behind the wheel "Mini" the whole range of pleasures, winding desert roads are required, and it is necessary with a good coating. Because even minor web defects make the "mini" shrank and enjoy, and larger bumps and potholes will force the driver to think about the transplant in the passing minibus. Hard.
"Cooper" does not like bad roads. On the bumps, even the most minor, passengers will not be very comfortable.
Against the background of the stroke "mini", the trip to Kia Soul will seem traveling first class. The chassis at the Korean five-year tight, but not shaking - serious asphalt defects it smoothes better. It is a pity that at the level of the driver's fan "Sowel" to "mini" - as the Russian national team before exiting the World Cup Group. Even in sports mode The steering wheel seems empty and not informative, and in normal and at all becomes lifeless. Add to this the tendency of the pseudocrossover to rolls in turns, sluggish brakes and inexpressive dynamics: despite the fact that at the absolute power of Kia Soul is inferior to "Kupeur" only 12 horsepower, the difference in dynamics seems catastrophic.
Acceleration to "hundreds" at Kia Soul with a "automatic" occupies intergalactic 12.5 seconds - during this time "mini" dollants to the nearest intersection and returns back.
Kia Soul K. country roads It is better: no wonder the Koreans dubbed this big hatchback crossover and endowed it road clearance 150 millimeters.
"Korean", yielding to the "British" in the entertainment part, beats out his practicality: it will easily be placed in the cabin five people, and in his luggage compartment 354 liters of cargo will fit. MINI did not dream. And finishing, of course, the price: the top version of the Korean pseudocrossover with gasoline engine and automatic box The transmissions will cost 989 thousand 900 rubles. Moreover, this amount will include all sorts of seats and mirrors, beautiful 18-inch wheels, xenon, panoramic roof, climate and cruise control, rear view camera, navigation, Infinity audio system and many more interesting things.
Mini Cooper "In the database" costs almost as much as Soul "in the top". For 929 thousand rubles, the dealer will sell you a three-door with "mechanics", without climate control, navigation and bluetooth. Expensive? Tell me thanks that now at least for air conditioning do not need to pay extra.
Recently, walking over the Internet, I wandered on one site, where the publication conducted a large-scale study on which cars are now most in demand in the population. Of course, it was clear that a typical man who lived more than half a century, wants something large, solid, comfortable and robust. Home sofa with moving function through the streets. But what really struck - a significant part of the respondents answered that they want some crossover! Damn it, is it really true?! Everyone needs a "jeep". Large or small, all-wheel drive or not, high or low - no matter!
In Russia, it is cool to ride on the sough. Especially if it is big and black. But after all, this purchase is banal and, if it is a pretty thinking, is also meaningless. You get a huge mass that worsens handling. Because of it, the car hurts worse and slows down worse, and even in addition, the extra fuel consumption, because this mass has to be constantly carrying. And what is in return? Here is the most interesting. In return comes the opportunity to go a little further on nature when you are going on vacation with your family. That is, a couple of times a year. But it is also meaningless how to carry with you all year to work coal and brazier, so that when you are going to the store, save half an hour on a march-throw with a product trolley. Fortunately, a note of common sense and a reasonable minimalism in this absurdity makes those who do not sit on sites like this.
Daewoo Matiz.
In addition to jokes, most of the girls drivers (at least beginners), as we all know, you need a pretty appearance, simple management, safety and acceptable comfort. Simply put, a small room to feel "in the house". And the first copy of the women's stable demand is. What is worth knowing this car?
Let's start, perhaps, with a bad one. And there is a lot of it, if you look at things soberly. First, the car is officially five-seater, but I am afraid that it is possible only if we are talking about a teacher who brings four children to Nursery. Materials are simple, cheap plastic, the assembly can be described as a cross between bad and disgusting, and yes - there is still no tachometer in basic configuration! Of course, the engine in the "Matiz" stands from the toothbrush, but still, with the "mechanics", the testimony of revolutions would not prevent him.
There is, however, and positive sides: Despite its solid term of presence in the market, the car still looks quite nice to this day; He is moderately maneuverable and promoted, and if a good instance falls, then it will be a "automatic" box, steering hydraulicer, air conditioning and even hatch. Three-year fresh copy can be found, on average, for 150-170 thousand.
Smart Fortwo.
Extreme inexpensive and high-quality purchase for a girl whose spiritual impulses are asked for a holiday. We will not pull, immediately to the price. A copy of 2003-2005 is quite realistially finding for modest 200 thousand, and since it is so available to many manicure and ice cream, then you should continue our conversation.
It is quite rare to meet the car bright and outside, and inside, besides for that kind of money. If you came to the salon 15 years ago, then when choosing a color, the question would be given to you: "What will be your spouse, Mr.," Madly Red "or" Black Jack "?" And the equipment on the instance you liked is called not "norm" or "luxury", but "Passion"! And I, damn, not kidding! Will not be surprised if new Machine Still at the plant on the pockets, the probes of perfumes and shampoos were laid out, and under the seat lay a fresh release of the magazine Vogue.
But what about the technical part? This is perhaps the most contradictory part of the car. On the one hand, "Smart" has a frame, and the seller, for sure, will tell you that thanks to her the car will remain the whole, even if they fall a meteorite. But as for the engine ... This is a nightmare. You see, initially there was a motor, the volume of which was less than pending beer. He betrayed 45 horses, that is, something like a trimmer on your razor in the bathroom. You may think that this should be enough, the car is small. But I'm afraid it is not quite so. Rather, not at all. With the driver driving, it weighs almost 800 kg, which is insanely much for the car size with sneakers. Fortunately, the company realized his mistakes and after a year he installed a monstrous turbocharged motor with forcing themselves to respect 55 "horses". With such a motor you will no longer overtake children on scooters, and maximum speed declared as 135 km / h. True, when I went once with a familiar on such, we could not develop it. So, probably, marketers meant the speed in a free fall. If seriously, then it a good choice For a novice girl, who will want to roll a girlfriend, albeit the only one.
Nissan Micra.
The next copy is not so screaming in terms of appearance, but still consistently enjoys in demand from the beautiful half - Nissan Micra (he is Nissan March). And it will be about the most popular third-generation model. The most reasonable purchase is perhaps the price / practicality. The 2004 release car is quite realistic to find for the same modest 200 thousand. And this is not an empty waste of money, I must say! The car is literally impregnated by common sense. There are rear doors and attachments for children's chairs, the machine is equipped with an anti-lock brake system, stabilization, and cup holders in the cabin of the whole five! And that's not it. IN on-board computer You can make a reminder to an important date, the glove box has a recess under the A4 sheet, and the hook is hidden from it to which the package with products can be hidden. At night, the light headlight holds the hostess to the front door of the house, as for two more minutes it continues to cover the path. If she forgot to turn off the light in the cabin, after a while the lamps will turn out automatically. Are you serious?! Yes half of these functions even in Range Rover SPORT NO!
But this is strange: for all its intelligence and the right approach to small details, for some reason not so stolen. And your girlfriend wants such a gift except for his seventieth anniversary. This practicality hides behind the essence of the car, and something tells me that it is why all the "microns" are painted in the colors of pillowcases and scarves, brought by your relatives in 1974 from Gelendzhik. If the cars came to life, then they would be ready to argue that this would turn into a grandmother. Therefore, you can advise "Mikru" by those who comfort is much more important than Harizma.
Ford Fiesta.
To confess, I spent more than half of the article and is not sure that you came to some reasonable decision. But enough to fool. This time I have a trump card. If you have a little more money, then for 300-330 thousand get a win-win option. Royal Flash among women's cars - Ford Fiesta. penultimate generation. Yes, yes, the car of 2009 can be taken over the price, and this is a stunning thing! It will not be a clone in a lethargic dream, as in the car that went to the generation earlier, and it does not have a reasonable appearance as newest sedan Which is designed to pull out Ford from the crisis. Before you is a real car. It looks great, it rulits out perfectly, it's cool done inside and is not deprived of the madness to the case, if your girlfriend has a driver sparkler and thrust for adventure.
When this model came out, the dealer warehouses devastated twice as quickly than expected. The company herself did not understand what kind of candy she did until she launched her to the market. Many pleasant solutions in the interior like a panel of a la Cell phone, a hefty climate twist and meaningless, but interesting externally windows, located behind the mirrors, make a car attractive for a girl almost any age. Of course, there is an amplifier of the steering wheel, the "automatic" and radio tape recorder. But all this you will find in any of the cars listed here, so the reason lies not in them, of course. Ride on this little girl only once, and, I turn, she will remember you.
Mini Cooper.
Over the completion, I thought for a long time. The machine must be feminine or at least cute. She must have a charisma, be compact, easy to steal, have planting rear interesting salon And it is desirable not to look artifact after the release of each next generation. Nameway, it was with all this list, except for SMART. That is, her appearance should be in some sense of classical. And besides, in addition to combining all these qualities (which, by the way, has not yet succeeded in anyone), the car should not exceed the value of the "Fiesta" from reasonable considerations. Ladies and gentlemen, glad to present you the chadliner of our review - Mini Cooper. For the same 300-330 thousand as Ford, you will receive a real thoroughbred English machine with an excellent genealogory 2002-2003 release.
For those who do not know, Mini is a car that was developed in the late 1950s during the time of the fuel crisis in Britain, so it is a little ironic, but it is very relevant to the current crisis to remember him. The car was originally developed as far as possible, compact with the condition that there will be rear places in the cabin. Inside the car has a famous larger speedometer, cutting in the middle, the winged icon on the steering wheel, aircraft control tumblers and many other pleasant little things. Glazing is curious - it is practically vertical that there is a very charming with the doors without a framework.
The technical filling went to the baby from BMW, it is under her leadership Mini creates its cars today. Therefore, at all is not a revelation of the rank "Four" from the BMW of the 3rd series in the 46th body, which stands here under the hood, issuing 115 hp There are, however, and cons. So, the sensations from riding a little spoils a disgusting variator, and you can only plant the trainer on yoga - any other will break your leg or stuck. But all this are little things compared to which emotions will give a similar car to its owner.
You can seek flaws in Lady-Karah, infinitely repeating the girls that there are millions of reasons to choose something more practical, comfortable, calm and unpretentious. But if a woman wants one of these "clutches on wheels," then this is a sign that the playful girl lives in her soul, but isn't it so appreciating in women?
Good day!
We need reviews and opinions about two cars: Kia Picanto. and Mini Cooper..
Selects as the first machine. Gift girl from parents.
Kia Picanto. just like. The maximum speed of about 900,000 rubles, without a loan or with a minimum loan. It is considered white with red stripes.
Mini Cooper. Machine of the dream "Want a little one." Price about 1,450,000 rubles, with a decent loan. Considered red with black stripes.
Both with a machine gun. Both new.
Operation: 2/3 - city, 1/3 - Intercity (~ 350 km one way and then back).
Questions that are interested in choosing:
1. If you understand correctly, MINI Cooper is being made to order in Oxford. Serial production no? Adaptation to Russia, respectively, also not? And the question is how well the car feels in Russia? How long can it live normally in our operating conditions?
2. Official dealers There are only in Moscow, Peter, Kazan. We can assume that the car is only for the capitals? MINI regional roads will not survive? Or the lack of dealers is connected with something?
3. We have OD BMW, but the warranty mini they do not serve. How critical is it? To go to Moscow once every 15 km is not a problem, but if there are some serious problems - it is already stressful. How big is the likelihood of serious problems with the warranty mini?
4. How does the car feel on Russian gasoline? And what's all the same pouring? One says 95; On the forums, some write that is better than 98.
5. How does MINI feel in winter? Salon is normal or only to ride clothes? Will start and work normally from -25 and below?
6. The safety of the machine plus minus is the same or mini is significantly better in this matter?
7. It is often found that Mini on the machine should not be taken even for urban ride. This is true? Or is it normal there automaton?
8. Probably the main question - is it worth MINI in order to pay for it such money? MINI COOPER is a choice of daughter. Kia Picanto is an alternative to which the daughter agrees, but without much enthusiasm. Parents are ready to take a loan if it is clearly understood that it is worth it.
9. Toyota car Aygo (2 generation) New buy in Russia is not possible? OD is not. And in a different way, do not import?
Alternatives that can be taken for the driver's patrol, people are known, but you need a youth unusual machine.
Kia Picanto no specific questions did not write, because This is a more traditional car, but opinions about it are also interesting.
Judging on the issues, you have a very weak idea of \u200b\u200bthe Mini Cooper
