In their natural habitat they didn need not be proved: that's already the third generation "of Meganom" spreads over Europe impressive numbers in the hundreds of thousands of cars annually. But in Russia, they were almost white crows; and only those who had the opportunity to get acquainted with the "Reno" more intimately, know that de facto the talents of French noticeably wider than the scope of "Golf"class in which they are registered.
Renno-Megan/Flüense, 569 000 rubles. In Russia, Megan II did not catch the stars from the sky. And yet he found his admirers: being inexpensive and revenge, he looked more solid than other classmates. The lion's share of the sales made the sedan of the Turkish assembly-hatchback many deterred by too extravagant design of fodder. Universale was suffering from a high price, which the rare caramateurs decided to settle. The new "car" is not transported to Russia at all. And the sedan detached itself from Meghanow. It is built on a shared platform with an elongated base, but has not only significant portrait differences, but also its own name "Flues". Moreover, the length of 4.62 m allows it to appear even in the middle class! Hatchbeki speaks for himself too. The [ [ Three-door]] is presented as a [ [ coupé]], which makes for a more sporting imageBut the 5-door hatchet is not so simple: it lacks the extravagance of its predecessor and looks very harmonious, not deprived of originality and as a consequence of this recognition. It would be logical to assume that such a rich bouquet of visible improvements must have an impact on the growth of the machine's popularity. "Megan II" was one of the most popular in the "golf" class, with 1.5 to 2,000 cars monthly. Today, "Megan" and "Flüance" together managed to secure only a modest 16th place. Even veterans like Tiede or Elangra are sold better than these newer and certainly more talented "Reno." What's the problem with the French? You should probably start looking for a response from a price list. How much? A quick look at the price of fear is not compelling. Moreover, at first glance, it may seem that "Reno" is at all cheap: the hatchback of the European brand costs 569 thousand rublesSedan is worth more than ten thousand. The price of the car is 30 thousand rubles, " he said. Even basic "Otentik" does not look askatically-at least there is already air-conditioner, electric package, flight computer, central lock. However, it is useless to look for "Otentic" with discounting: in Moscow, for example, there are no longer. And the ones that are there are worth $600,000: usually dealers are trying to order cars with options. Another 10,000 cell' s are asked for metal (cars in free white, blue or red too) and, by the way, 4,000 to 6,000 rubles is worth the delivery of the car to the salon, yes-yes. The last supplement, to say the word, is not registered in the official price list, but almost all the sellers use it calmly. Yet you should think about whether you need a basic car. To call this machine a successful purchase is interfering with a number of shortcomings.The driver is made of slippery and cheap polyurethane, and the driver is not able to adjust his lumbar support. The absence of central armrests is not encouraging, and if there is a need to use a passenger compartment for the transport of oversized cargo, the back of the sofa will have to be fully folded. Finally, in this version of only two inflatable pillows, it is inexcusable for a car under the name Reno, which is known for its trepious attitude to safety! Therefore, the purchase of Meghan or Flyuans should be considered at least from the second level of the Confort. It is more expensive than 37,000 rubles, but is deprived of many basic defects and is generally more suitable for the role of the family carThere is a carved (40/60) seat back with three adjustable head restraints, a better fabric upholstery, leather of good steering, front seats, rear electrical hoists, "music" and a quart of airbags. Exponion (plus 25,000 roubles) Air-tags are six, and 2-zoned climate control and some other equipment in the cabin make such a car of comfortable "Konfor". In addition, for 7,000 rubles, Expotion can be equipped with the most convenient system of access without a key. Perhaps it is such a "Reno" that should be recognized as the most profitable purchase: it has outgrown many budget classmates, and costs from 647,000 rubles to 66,000 rubles, depending on the body. At such prices, dealers can find a car in hand, rather than waiting for it for 2-3 months, as in the case of cheaper versions. In addition, starting with "Expotion" it is possible to order a more powerful 2-liter motor with a capacity of 136 lc. with a variant of a base 106-strong engine with a volume of 1.6 litres. It is only a pity that the charge for such an option is very large-88,000. There are more expensive cars. The version of "Dynamics" is interesting for 16-inch alloy discs out of light alloy, rear parktronic, with improved fabric upholstery and skin of young dermatine on door armchairs. But whether such wealth is worth an additional 36,000 rubles is a big question. However, those who need a leather salon or xenon headlamps need no choice-such options are available only in the "Dynamics". Finally, the most expensive "Ghost" (780,000 rubles) Reserved for "Mega-Buy" exclusively. Here you do not have to pay for automatic parking brake, ESP and adaptive bixenon. But with a 2-liter engine that allows "Buy" to realize the sport's image a little bit, this beauty will cost no less than 900,000 rubles.It is natural that only someone who will be captivate by this machine will be able to make a similar purchase of the three-door. Here's what you choose, a hatchback or a sedan, a question of personal preferences. In the spring of the five-door, there was a noticeable variation: both the budget versions of "Konfor-1.6" and the more expensive "Expotion" and "dynamics" with a 2-litre engine appeared-earlier such options were possible only for "Flyuans". But only "Megan" can be chosen in the new "Special Series", where for 17,500 rubles you will receive 17-inch discs, painted in the color of the molding body and aluminum molding on the pedal. The new pick allowed the hatchback to pick up the sedan: Meghan was doubled in the first quarter, while Fluans remained at the same level. In any case, the difference in price between bodies is not so large as to be a decisive factorThe choice is yours: if you build a lot of carb and ride with the full passenger compartment-choose "Flüs". But if you are in the shape of a hatchback factor, which in some sense is more practical, then Meghan will be a good choice. As you can see, any "Reno" is not as cheap as it may seem to be the unarmed gaze. The Optimum Otentik at the price goes to the level of "Corolla" and "Mazda-3", which we traditionally have in honor. And the predecessor of the present couple, if you remember, competed with more democratic figures, with the "Focus", "Peuge-308" and "Elancanu". Outside and inside, the buyer of Flüdensch knows what he overpays: because of the impressive size of players on the golf course, it is unlikely anyone will be able to compete with Reno in viciousness. The usability of Reno is not in any way inconsistent with the design: the appearance of the Flucens is not deprived of the adness and at the same time it is quite originalThe truth is that Flue's best looks in dark colors is a sure sign that design and harmony have not been able to become friends. Hatchback is very different from the sedan, and the harmony in it is more: Meghan design can be called almost exquisite! But it is far more important to us that this car boasts relatively high clearance, thresholds and bumpers. Large, with palm-wide, unpainted moldings on the door, a skirt of the same solid plastic under the stern and high profile tires make Megan almost an alternative to the crossover-wheel-driver-for an inexpensive and practical lightweight, it's a fat plus. True to French, only "Buy" can boast about it. The sedans and the five doors are brought from France to the Turkish Bursa, where they gatherBut the current spring of "Meghan" and "Flyuans" received a Moscow propiska: they are now being issued on "Autoframochs". Unlike "Logan," these machines are made on a method of coarse assembly, with the capital of cars exclusively black, gray and beige. Is it a local origin? It's a good one. I was able to appreciate Reno and Turkish, and with the Russians, and the French VIN-numbers, and neither of the cars I was able to detect any flaws-unlike the very first Turkish "Flyuans". Sedan is unreserved for the interior of the cabin. The space on the back sofa is comparable to the middle class, thanks to an extended base. A man with a height of 180 centimeters easily sits down "himself", with 5 or 6 centimeters remaining in front of the front chair. "Meghan" is much more intimate: you can't find it in the legs.If you choose a climate-controlled version, get the air ducts for the rear passengers. And starting with the Confort version, a central arm with a pair of coasters appears on the sofa. Reno's interior looks perfect: even higher-class cars will not always offer such a level of finishing. By the standards of democratic cars, Reno's salon is truly luxuriant! Many discharge elements are borrowed from the more expensive "Laguna", "Coleos" and "Latituud". On the front panel the French did not pity the soft plastic, but even in places where it is rigid, there is no claim. The tissue of the armchairs and the armrest is easy to clean. And if you map the Fliens to the role of the budget staff, then the passengers will be able to estimate three sunglasses. At the helm, the drivers of Flüance and Meghan are absolutely identical and more than friendlyThanks to the impressive ranges of the longitudinal (26 cm) and vertical (7 cm) adjustment of the chair, as well as the adjustment of the steering wheel in length and departure, it is easy to make a miniature lady and a two-metre veril. If you have a free hand system, the machine will recognize you on the card in your pocket and unlock the doors as soon as the camera on any of the door handles locks the motion. Moreover, leaving the car, you won't even have to press the transponder buttons: enough to move away from the car by a few meters, and it will block all the locks. However, it is possible to close the car by touching the buttons on the outside handle of the driver's door. Very comfortable! Reno's ergonomics is great. There's a flat-board control here, big pockets in the doorway and a lot of cup holder. It was like the magnetol was working after the engine shut down, and it wouldn't stop until you opened the door. In addition, it is not intended to extinguate the lights-the machine does it on its own. It's nice, it's nice, you can't use a rechargeable battery pack. Alas, not without flaws. In a couple of weeks, I have never been able to get used to the characteristics of the management of the magnetoloic and climate-control, which is intuitive. The buttons are shallow and indistinguishable to the touch, and often you have to distract and read the icons. The magnet has a separate remote control wheel-rotation of the wheel can quickly select the desired radio station. But in order to be able to hold all the functions that are hanged on eight different buttons, training is required. You could accidentally hit one of them by mistake, and then you'd have to step over there on the anglophone menu trying to get back in. If you agree, the "music keys" on the helpers of the rudder are familiar and comfy. But "Reno" has a large cruise control button that is rarely useful on our roads. It was also not good that the arm of the arm could not be adjusted either by length or at the angle of inclination. And the pillows of the front chairs are probably short. Again, the side-point of the thighs and the back should have been made more developed, the mechanism for including transmission in the MCP is clearer and the clutch of the clutch is not so long. And why is it possible to read music from the flash drive only in the most expensive version of "dynamics"? Because the USB exit is a penny! The heat buttons of the front chairs are hidden in the end of the pillow. However, it is impossible to determine whether the heating is included or not. However, the dashboard has a power-on indicator, but one for two seats. Finally, I was shaking back. Even if you omit all three of the head restraints, the hatchback has the view of the broad back pillars of the body, and the saddle has a large rear window. In both cases, the problem is solved by installing the parser. The factory, rather precise and convenient, is based only on the "Dynamics". Why is that? On the roads ... I wasn't expecting a violent dynamic from 106 base forces of the base 1,6-litre engine. Indeed, the nature of the motor was rather flegmatic. As long as the tachometer doesn't draw 2000 rpm, it seems that the car is dragging its feet. French love for stretched gear on each of them has been unpleasing for a long time. However, this is not difficult to adapt to. And then it turns out that the car is still capable of showing some sort of subpoo-like. "Reno" is equally well dispersed between 40 and 100 km/h: the moment is enough in the whole range of turns, it is only necessary to not forget to hand over the gear lever more often. But it is more convenient to control the engine by holding the arrow of the tachometer between 2500 and 4000 rpm: the driving is temperamental, but not deranged. And thanks to good soundproofing, it's still quiet. The "driving" experts have shown that the average noise level in the passenger compartment does not exceed 72.6 decibels. By comparison, the classmate of Cruise is 79.2 dB. For everything, 1.6 is also economical-even in the conditions of "power" drive. I was never able to feed the Flüensu with more than 9.4 liters for a hundred. And the average cost of the city is easy to moderate to 6.8 l. The stock in one tank is more than 800 km away. But it's good to think about it before you buy 1.6 with a vending machine. A more-less dynamic machine that only saves up to 70 to 80 km/h, and if you spin the engine, it's called red. "Megan" or "Flutians" with an ACP 4-rat can be recommended only to those who are in no hurry to live. Two gallons and a variator is a different knee. That's a shitless tad, a lot of traction, and the most interesting thing, not a lot of a 1 6-litre burn with a "mechanic". If calmflow is calmable, it is not easy to keep within 8 liters. But, again, few people will buy the car of the budget brand for 770-800 thousand. It is only logical that the vast majority of Meghanow and Flyuans sold to us are 1.6 "on the arm". Only in the version of "Limited" Mega-2.0 " is an adequate 7443 500 roubles. The car brakes on the machine in any case. It is inflated by its energy intensity and suspension, which painlessly smoothed even really large colnicas. Except it's a bit cramping at the rundown. ... and without them, the French were approached as seriously as possible by the use of their cars. In this sense, "Meghan" with "Flue" has a lot of advantages over many cars of other foreign stamps. In Europe, the ground clearance is only 12.5 centimeters, but for Russia it has increased by 4 cm. All cars are mandatory for the steel protection of the engine compartment. In fact, the space from the bumper to the mimic is closed with solid plastic, which is well protected against dust and small stones. And the suspension allows us to confidently carry out the serious pothins: it is quite possible to compare it with the "Impreza", which is probably one of the best in the class. Plus, "Reno" has quite high thresholds and flatten food. It is clear that from the point of view of geometric mobility the best will be a hatchback that has a 20 cm short back, and a wheelbase of 6 cm. The truth is, even it's worth worrying about the safety of the plastic skirt underneath the front bumper, which is 18 centimeters apart from the planet. The French engineers have not provided any pen on the Vans ' luggage, closing the lid, and you will get your hands dirty. And don't put a fragile squeeze under the massive hinge-they can crush it. However, the Flluans ' hold-up has ended safely. He has more worth than that. You can open the trunk either from a log or a button above the license plate. And it is a matter of pride-even 530 l! In this discipline, the machine is again compared with the business-and even the executive-class. With the back, do not forget to lift the sofa cushion (as well as the back, cut to the unequal parts)-and then it forms a flat level of 1020 x 1,160 mm. Finally, the package-another with the most valuable content can be fastenched on hooks located on the wheel arches. Meghan doesn't have such hooks, and the hold is 24 inches shorter. However, thanks to the "spare" dustable "spare", the maximum payload size of the boot was found to be 405 litres. This is hardly a record among the "golf"-class hatchbacks. In addition, the removable shelves and a wide gap (75 cm) will allow to carry much more impressive objects in the 5-drill. Security in the 'Megan' tests 'Megan' is not just a student. He managed to earn 37 points-no one else among the golfers! But, again, this is just about cars with a complete set of pillows. And this, for a moment, at least "Ekpreson." Starting with the same version, you can get an ESP for 19,500 rubles. I would like to note that neither Meghan nor the Flucans have a pressing need for it. In sharp maneuvers, the forecast is developed smoothly, and even if the car starts to carry out the virazh, it is easy to adjust the steering and gas. But the extra stabilization is not going to happen, especially since it is quite unbiased. Operation Reno's extensive dealer network has spread to over 80 cities. 29 trade and technical centers can be found in Moscow, in Pieter-ten. The warranty for cars is 3 years or 100,000 km of mileage, while the interval between the vehicle is 15,000 km. However, service prices have increased markedly in the recent past. And although the cost of the first three TOs at all dealers is the same (9,000 rubles). ), with each visit to the service you are obliged to change not only the oil and filter engine, but also the spark plugs and the salon filter. For 60,000 km of distance, approximately 22,000 should be prepared for the replacement of all drive belts. As a result, Reno was the most expensive in service of the French brand, though not the most expensive among its European rivals. WE REACHING: Qualitative finishing, excellent soundproofing, comfortable suspension, and interesting combination of good performance with high efficiency (1.6MT or 2.0CVT)-all these are the trtrumps of Meghan family. Only a rather wide list of ergonomics, cheap service, and a clever price list that destitute the choice of expensive picking, the popularity of the machine, alas, are not conducive.
