In the class of compact affordable sedans have a lot of attractive offers. However, the interest in the Hyundai-Solaris increased. And with good reason.

It's not easy to answer, even after extensive communication. Judging by the final points, it is very similar, but in fact the cars are the deemers of two markedly different directions in the creation of a compact inexpensive sedan. Two philosophies, three cars ...ARE WE GOOD?The angular, high "Reno-Logan" next to Volkswagen-Polo and Hyundai Solaris looks like a big brother. By the way, "Logan" in Russia-to a famous measure-is the great-parent of the class, in which now more proposals are made. In the six years since the debut of the French model, prices have changed, and with them our ideas about what is expensive and not very expensive. But "Logan" is staying. Because we need customers. Wide door openings, a little bit on the roof, large windows, great visibility, ample showroom, a high landing, a wellness association with planters. Yes, he won't win the competition of elegance! But when the feet are fiercer, they save unfashionable boots from the name of the company, and they save the simpletons of the valenets. "Reno-Logan" doesn't try to seem more or more beautiful than it is. And in that sense, it's harmonious. Logan's Salon looks pretty good, and, more importantly, it's neat. After the restarling, the salon looks pretty, though it still doesn't shine in designer revelations. The deal is simple, rational, neat and good. Curgued front seats with a long drive create a feeling that the back stops in the vicinity of the shoulder. The back couch is flat. But the three of us can go back to Logan. Two very well: places of knees and head, taking into account the class of the car, plenty! The front passenger does not interfere with each other. If you prefer such a space, prepare to accept a peculiar ergonomics. To the buttons of the window-lifts and, more importantly, the climate control unit at the bottom of the console will stretch out blind. Although, if you go to Reno all the time, you can, of course, get away with it. The Logan seat has no height adjustment, and the gearbox lever is low. But it's easy to forgive, which is not to say about the inputting back of the backseat. For a family household, this is an opportunity (even if it is to be paid) should simply be provided. "Logan" was emphasized spacious, neglecting stylistic exquisers-in an unrich family. Volkswagen and Høndai are different. These are smaller versions of real, adult sedans, with all the pros and cons of such a decision. Polo's fiirst identity is unmistakable. A strong, assembled, harmonious car, stylistically close to more expensive Volkswagen. Salon is a German classic. And, like every classic, is correct and the reference. Salon "Volkswagen" for someone is academically dull, but very carefully thought-out. Any radio button, you can find and use it properly with your eyes closed. You will open-you will see strict, rational forms and dark-dark tones. But it's a very good Viper. And the seats are an example of how fashionable, though not entirely appropriate to the mother tongue, is the term "budgetary" does not mean "insufficient". Polo Hard chairs without claims and excesses: they are convenient, with a large range of adjustments. By the way, the wheel can be moved in two planes among subjects only on "Volkswagen". A German car is more French. The right leg is more often than I'd like to go to the console. The rear passenger's clenings are almost as spacious as in "Logan", but in width and, above all, the height of "Volkswagen" is much more obvious. This is the price to pay for the more elegant, elegant silhouet. The creators of "Solaris" were eager to do the same. In fact, it seems at times that, by building their sedan, they studied very carefully the same "Polo". The Höndai design is pretty, modern, but not too fussy. And the trim of the salon is bright and bright as a measure. The Hyundai designers have been able to create a well-dressed but not a well-balanced salon. The seat is the best: the rigid and tight body of any addition. The back seat is comfortable, but narrow. Three of us in "Solyaris" flour is not what to go and don't want to. It's a little crampy, heads are practically locking the ceiling. Who was excited about the roll of the roof?At the same time, the authorities of Soljaris ' questions and problems do not cause any problems: everything on the ground is familiar. "I feel like you're going to a high crossover," you're not leaving. And not just because I'm high, I look away. The sign "Logan" is a surprise to me since I first met you six years ago. Excellent energy intensity, ability to nil small and smooth large roughness. There is no tedious pumping, and the creatives are not critical. The rudder, but friendly to the driver's recall, does not tire of the sensitivity, but also is not informative. On the dry asphalt, Renault firmly holds the specified trajectory, on the slippery road is prone to verts, but is well adjusted. Actually, the nature of the car even with the 16-valve engine does not have a very energetic, even more drastic way of driving. No, the engine is doing what he can, though it's obviously not designed for an intense brunette. The "Reno" gearshift mechanism works very easily and clearly. The levers are no more expensive than the machines are more expensive. Yes, and the box, the mechanism of which works very easily and clearly, the gear ratios are sharpened under a measured drive with no frequency of switching. In addition, in rapid turns, the driver will be able to fall out of the seat, kneel the rigid console and upholstery the upholstery. Reaction to the "Volkswagen" is sharper, but it is not tiring because it costs a car on the road, including slippery corners, more confident than "Renault". Here, like "Logan", there is no stabilization system, but without it machines are docile and safe. "Polo" is a tough one. It's not too much to bother with the little roughness. But the wave and the big roughness of the machine is too rigid, without sufficient flexibility. The polo box has a laxovate the back end of the gear. The lever is Norve to fail even in the case of a cashier's touch. Short gear ratios are designed for an intensive acceleration and, consequently, more frequent operation by the selector lever. In general, this is not tenable, even though the pedal of the clutch and the levers of the lever after the loganch appear heavy in sport. The "Logan" and "Volkswagen" were close. Only the first is the sound of the aerodynamics of the cubism sculpture. Well, "Polo" even at the fifth gear and speed of about 100 miles an hour is redundant menacing the engine. The Höndai-Sofias is closer to Volkswagen: a little bit more calmer than it is, but it won't turn out to be a thoughtful language. The stabilisation system is quite delicate-usually a rarity for the machines of this class. And if you turn it off, the "clean" car shows good stability in turns and honest, clear reaction to the drive and change of traction. The machine, in spite of only a 1.4 litre engine and automatic transmission, is being dispersed quite cheerful. By the way, a four-stage machine works surprisingly fast and smoothly. For the model of this class and the price again, it is very good. Why don't you tell me about the suspension?A simple and simple, without manual regime, the "Solaris" machine works perfectly decently. In our test, the pre-serial sample of Solaris. It is possible that the setup will be changed at the beginning of the manufacturing process. But as long as the suspension is put into the salon, on the seat, the body, and even the steering wheel, every beetle. The wavelength are softer than Volkswagen, a small consolation. With this sensitivity to small roughness, some more expansive in the city, further trips to Russia are not pleasant. And even the low noise of the saloon (but in part the close behind) of the sedan is not capable of getting rid of that impression. ATTESTAT ZRELOSTUBILA-Equal assessments of test subjects are well deserved and show that today the representatives of this democratic class are highly engineered vehicles. Reno-Logan is still balanced in its class. A spacious, perfect for our roads, a good engine. It was a little rough, but it was honest and hard-working. "Volkswagen Polo" will like the one who loves ... Volkswagen. It will bring in brand-name rationality and good quality, in the driving of European upbringing. Høndai-Solis is a very serious application for a prominent position in such a popular class. The newcomer also gravates to European engineering school, although the character would have to be adjusted. When everything goes smoothly, without any special ups, but also trouble, we say, "Sin to complain!" About those cars. After all, the selection in the category of compact sedans is wider and, which is particularly pleasant, among the good brands. PRADING LOADING Logan, Hyundai Solaris, Volkswagen Polo SedanThe trunk of the car is almost equal. "Logan" is lagging behind rivals 8 L (392 against 400 l), but is very close to Polo and Solaris by the length and height of the cargo hold. The main thing is to fill it easier because the boot shape is more correct. Well, the noose gets in the way of all the cars. The undisputed advantage of "Solaris" and "Polo" is the possibility of parts or full fold back of the rear seats, increasing the loading length to 1800 or 1830, respectively. The lack of such an opportunity for Reno is a significant weakness for the family car.
Salon «Logan» looks pretty well and, more importantly, assembled carefully. Salon "Volkswagen" for someone academically skučnovat, but very carefully. Hyundai designers managed to create an elegant but not pretentious, opposite is quite harmonious Salon. Lakoničnej than Logan already has nowhere to go. However, even to "columns" fuel level and coolant temperature become accustomed is not difficult. Concise instruments Polo claims do not cause, with the exception of melkovatogo, lost the fuel level sensor. "Solaris" bright optitronnaâ dash. And pointers of gasoline and antifreeze are similar to loganovskie. Gearshift Renault works easily and clearly. Yes and moves the lever no more than expensive machines. The mechanism of "Polo" box slabovata spring rear transmission. Lever tends to fail even when nesil′nom touch. Inexpensive and simple, without manual mode, automatic «Solaris» works acceptably. Climate control unit "Logan" is best seen with precisely such an angle. Sitting behind the wheel, manipulate them more to touch. Display "Polo" looks plain. But each button exactly where its looking for. Not only bright, but also convenient. There is a feeling that much has already been traveled by "Became". Rear sofa in the "Logan" flat, but roomy and in the legs, and heads. There is enough space for the knees, but the roof even passengers of average height in Salon "Polo"-end-to-end. Rear seat "Solaris" is not for tall passengers and not at all for long trips for adults.
