VW polo just like fox

Volkswagen fox is not a popular car in Europe. This is mainly due to the assumptions of the company itself, which treats the model as auto for the poor, because it produces and promotes major markets in South America. In Europe, the fox appeared only in 2005 and only in-door version, and its purpose was to replace lupo. In Brazil, however, this model is so important that it is subjected lifting. bílé víno Paid to Read Blog furniture.blogsboom.com
Test: Fiat Fiorino Qubo 1.3 MultiJet PDF Print E-mail
 Qubo is a very difficult model to explicit evaluation. Rally the interesting in terms of style and very cheap in operation, on the other - in many mindlessly and completely meaningless. Appearance is one of the strongest sides of this car. Amazing how a few extras, such as rails and slats, combined with an interesting coating is able to change the appearance truck. It is hard to believe, but the test Qubo people really watch the street and can expect that sits behind the wheel of Kermit the Frog? The interior does not look bad. Leather-covered (and comfortable) steering wheel, dashboard quite nice and pretty, two-color upholstery can please. Of course, if you look closely, it appears that the materials used are of the highest quality . And all plastics are very hard. I have serious objections to the amount of space in the middle, which of course should distinguish this type of car. In front there is a tragedy, but I do not know why it was decided to padding a strange creature plastic, which makes that they are about 30-40 cm thick, which reduces the width of the cabin. If we add to this limited range of adjustment seats (passenger seat is not height adjustable, for example, and put them very high) and managers, it is found that traveling by car this is not convenient. Much worse is behind. Here there is no space on the first leg, which leads to the fact that the rear seats easily can travel only children and smaller people - just like the cars in the city. Furthermore, the car has only 329 l trunk, which shows that Qubo is not even half as much on what looks like. Competitive Skoda Roomster beat him on the head of virtually every respect - the number of seats behind the wheel and the back or boot volumes (up to 450 l). The practical can be so here, only delayed the rear doors on the sides (though it helps a lot in mounting child seats) and the large space overhead which allows the deposit (or rather a complicated removal) of the rear bench seat car, carry things a bit more large (up to 2500 l). Qubo test drive served as a tiny 1.3 MultiJet diesel with 75 bhp (which, incidentally, the most powerful engine on offer). Its most important feature is perhaps that it can (though not necessarily) be quite economical. With 190 Nm of torque the car can reach 100 km / h "already" in 16.5 sec, would then propel the dizzying 150 km / h. Such "madness" behind the wheel, however, the effect of fuel consumption of approximately 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. For quite a reasonable 5 liters per 100 kilometers, so you'll need to go in truly snail. A bit of a pity, because quite readily screwed on turnover (less than 2 thousand. Turnover of any acceleration out of the question) and subjectively speaking, does not seem very sluggish. The car when cornering by a stable and does not require any special skills to master it. Behind the wheel does not feel that we are dealing with a close relative of the car supply, which no doubt he can be counted as a plus. The suspension effectively selects inequalities and as such provides a comfortable ride. Fiorino Qubo is equally impossible to call the car in the whole unsuccessful. In my opinion, but the number of minuses (and in those places where you would expect Microvan shine) far outweigh the advantages. Many here can justify the price - in the case of cars with diesel engines starting with 51 thousand .It seems to me that even in a confrontation with that Skoda Roomster and Nissan recently tested Note'em ( "Test: Nissan Note 1.4 FL) Qubo will be difficult to win. For a similar amount can also be equipped with up to nearly Punto (whose chassis Qubo built) with the same engine, although the trunk is even smaller, its utility property used by the average user are comparable, and performance and burning much wiser. Looking for a really large space also for a similar amount can choose a much larger Doblo. If, therefore, are more prudent alternatives, unless there is no sense to choose half-measures.
