Ford Grand C-Max: mouths of Babes
The creators of cars have to consider not only the interests of those who usually sits behind the wheel - opinion passengers sometimes less important. And even if the passengers even on foot under the table go, this does not mean that they have their own vision of the perfect machine.
"Grand-Sea-Max-1.6T" from 1,004,000 roubles. The dollar rose by 12 kopecks to 70.12 rubles. /kmprobably, even the smarest grownup would not know immediately what the most important quality of a family car should be. But Ford's marketers ponderated and found the children, who told the serious uncles that it was very important to have the possibility of free passage from the "gallery" to the front seats. So, "Grand-Si-Max" has become hardly the only car in the world where the central seat of the second row can be hidden under the cushion of the right seat! Three seconds of uncunning manipulation, and here's the ready-made passage. Very convenient. The son of such a design was instantaneous: I could hardly notice how he leant on the third row, and was already there glad to see that he could not start any music from his own phone, connecting through the "Bluetues" to the stereo system. Between the chairs he found a 230-volt outlet that was immediately stuck with a netbook charger. The truth for today's children, who don't scare off any gadgets, "Grand Si-Max" is a godsend! And not just for them. "Grandfather, you know, at the age and the same impressive complement," noted the wide sliding doors, " They are very comfortable in the parking lot-easy and easy to get into the car. And, of course, the drivers ' needs were not forgotten for a second: my luck was also found behind the wheel. When we first met the "Grand" in France, he was equipped with a turbodiesel. Excellent choice for the quasi-thorn wen! But in Russia, they like gasoline. And that's the Max-Max engine, which is 1.6 liters plus a turbine. Depending on the pressure of the boost, 150 or 182 l shall be removed from the engine. And they make it delicious. Ford's 182 force is not simply a pushover, but with a mental backlure: 95 per cent of 240 Nm torque is available in the range of 1500 to 5,500 rpm. Gong up! It's just a little bit too much gas, and the car even with the ESP turned on is off the road with asphalt. In the "mechanic" the sixth step was added and a new main pair was installed, shorter than "Focus" with the same engine. Every time I was genuinely happy about how to put it gently and clearly any gear-I want to turn it over again!And I will not have the conscience of remembering the most convenient rear-view camera with a hint of trajectory, a system of control of blind areas that facilitate complex overstructures; the electronics of the rudder, which will recognize the gusts of the side wind and help maintain the stability of the course. This impressive level of service has not yet been reached in small family cars! I think there's not a single comptog that made such a positive impression. The disadvantages of him were all the more pesky. Due to the low ground clearance-just 14 cm-not even among the biggest flocks in the asphalt in the asphalt must be laced with cat neatness. The petrol engine is not combined with AKP-"machine" is only in the diesel version. Even on the "handle" of 182, a powerful car is very impressive-a million with a ponytail. Blago, there is a more affordable version: 150-strong 1.6T will cost 76,000 less. It's a little more like this machine is practically inferior to that of the older sister. It is not difficult to hold a couple of useful packages in the framework of a few important options, but it is easy to hold on to it in the framework of a million. And the competition of such "Grand" will be quite a bit: it is a slightly cheaper "Zafir" (already gradually coming from the stage), close to the price of "C4-Grand-Picasso" and more expensive "Versso" and "Turan".
