Thread: Lada Priora is a bit better than the "tens"

 
Lada Priora - a brand new car for domestic production, which actually was made of dozens. If you look closely, you can see that has changed only before and "net" part of the body. But in the salon Lada Priora has changed. Everything looks and moves better feel much better, but still something is missing.
For Priora today prepared a special job. I went to Moscow on different cars, from one - does not help even a Thai massage, but on the other I enjoyed it. Let's see what happens I Priora, more precisely, with me after driving in Moscow on Priora.
On the road, or MKAD - feel "as the Russian machine". In the cabin heard not exciting engine sound, and as inherited from dozens of aerodynamics constructors are not touched, the sensation of speed drive added noise "windmill", this unpleasant feeling.
There are two front Windows, and for the first time in the Report - there was an electric drive of mirrors. Back in the salon appeared comfortable armrest. Yes, I have the armrest really liked. Now Lada Priora features airbag driver, but it seemed to me that she can fire me at any time. Yes, I don't trust the innovation in the domestic car. Electric power steering " of course, it would be better if it was not, but if there is, then okay.
Front-wheel drive, 5-speed transmission - this is all very well and nice. Handling in the city and the gear at traffic lights I liked. But from the 1.6-liter engine I managed to squeeze on the streets of Moscow almost 100 horses. Until cutoff at 100 km/h the vehicle failed to accelerate in second gear, which is not bad at all. Naturally, these 100 horses will nehvataet for a spirited drive on the ring road. I realized once again that there is no such Russian machines, where there is a huge or even large power reserve for cocky jerks.
The funniest thing in the cabin is the inscription on the lid of the glove compartment "Open", it looks like the package with milk. Its cover is quite delicate looking, but my male hand stand. Everything else in the cabin is not aroused in me feelings of fragility - either visually or tactilely. In the salon all in their places, and to use this convenient.
With regard to handling, relatively dozens it was much better. It is noticeable that the designers have worked with suspension and stabilizers, the body rigidity has been improved, but still, this is not a big plus. Brakes are much better loaded Priora has less braking distance than loaded a dozen.
The appearance was better handling and dynamics increased, has added a lot of options, just don't count on night vision and toilet. But still, by the end of the trip, I was numb shoulders, and this means that the seat in Priora was not much easier dozens.
The designers tried to Priori, and it's really noticeable. But anyway, regarding cars, they turned out to be "not very". Of course, to call the car not bad, but relatively tens, and especially Lada, it's really moving for the better. Against Priora cars wins, perhaps, only in price. Return "good" domestic machine in place, and to get home today, I will prefer the metro.
