The creators of the second Opel Meriva surprised everyone, without exception, with the car doors with the hinges on the rear rack - FlexDoors. Open against the course, as the Rolls-Royce Phantom!
Opel Meriva Cosmo 1. 7DT 6AT (931 000 RUB) The Opel designers have decided that it is better for this car to be a "cheerful" finish, which is the back doors named in the FlexDoors ' Rüsselheim, which is mostly said, considering the new compact Opel Meriva. Just like the Rolls-Royce! Yeah, there's a Mazda RX-8, and a Mini Clubman, and a "semithorn" pickup. But all the rear doors open only when the front door is open. On the pre-war machines, the doors against the move were normal. One day they were deemed to be dangerous: if the door was not securely closed, the door could open, the wind would be blown, and the driver (the passenger) would release it. The steering is a little fumigated, the bulkhead is good, but its visor of the visor of this type has been called suicidal and has practically ceased to apply. They were forgotten by the car owners, but they remembered designers with designers, and from time to time they "floated" on some dikovine concept. The only serial car that could have boasted of such a thing until recently is Phantom. The driver comes out and opens the door to the master ... It's beautiful! But British rule ended. By the way, the locks for Meriva were developed in cooperation with the BMW, and we are assured of their complete safety. Blocked automatically at speeds above 4 km/h. The system of sliding rear seats is called FlexSpace ("flexible space") The rear doors are opened with 84º (normal, hinged on average rack-approximately 60 °) The new Meriva is the platform of the previous generation Zafira (that is Astra). The platform used to be from Corsa. Hence the large size and set of aggregates. Compared to the previous generation, the minimum volume of the boot was slightly reduced, when the folded back seat increased (the car itself is larger) Under a raised floor there is some additional space in the Duck in the Opel catalogue is called "compact spare wheel" In my opinion. -That car always surprised me. Back doors. A double-colourful cabal on your seats. Last seen brown plastic in the ' 90s on the eights with a short wing. The first starts are not jovial, despite the rather decent size of the diesel and the six-speed "machine gun". At the traffic light he wanted to lower the glass-open the rear window (so the keys are located on the arm of the door). I am unable to access the blindly button on the central console. And why should I know that at the current Opel to confirm the request to activate the navigation, I have to click on the Cheykeeka in the central console? Don't! At the same time, the creators of the new Opel Meriva say, "Don't need to adjust to a car, it can adapt to you!" In my case, it was the opposite. Their bin? In my opinion. -I like the style of modern Opel, the more frustrating it is to manage them. There are no settings for the suspension, the brakes and the steering claims. And the dieseleg is good, but it spooking it, especially at the start, and it spoilt everything. The road should not only slow but speed up the road. The Opel Meriva, with a "machine gun", is accelerating as if a frightened student is driving a scared student: suddenly and late. Well, of course, these trendy wheels with solens instead of the tires of the compactness have a negative effect on the easing of the move. A fine view, a good soundproofing, a rich outfit, a convenient transformed salon-these qualities are left out of business if the car does not go as the driver has planned. While much depends on the way in which the driver is managed, I believe that the driver should adapt to the driver's car, not the other way around. In my opinion. -The new Meriva is a breakthrough for Opel. A good family compact, but a "grey" minivan has become bright, stylish. What was particularly good was a completely new organization of internal space and the convenience of opening rear doors. Gorgeous and powertrain. A very lively, really economical diesel and an adequate "machine gun." There is no hurricane of speaker, but you can't feel an outsider on the road behind the wheel of Meriva. The main claims are two. The first is the light. On a dark country road, a car is overtly blind. Second-buss 235 /40R18. Meriva rubles, but only on a level road. But don't let God be on the track! Alas, the lights are worse than the German autobahn, and the hump is much bigger. And if there's another way to get used to the bad light, it's better to take the other wheels. The 16-inch Meriva is much more stable and secure. In my opinion. -The terms were pressed, and the main "raisin" of the new Opel Meriva-FlexDoors-wide doors could not be appreciated. As for the second generation of the minivan in general, and from the driver's point of view, things are not smooth. Diesel is noiselish, and the vibration from him on the back of the body is too clear. In the movement of 100-strong 1.7-litre engine, the 1500 kg of dry weight is clearly not enough-in any case, the usual left row has had to "evacuate". " Meriva's brakes are strange: it's a draught and smooth, and it's as sharp as a sports car. And without that shallow side mirrors in the rain, they're just accessories. Finally, the German minivan does not like the tram tracks, and it is not necessary to get them up. The result-Despite the prosaic purpose-the role of family transport, the authors of the new Opel Meriva managed to make it very original. First of all, the car is allocated to classmates thanks to its back doors opening against the move. Those who have little children go to the rot that it is very convenient, as well as good opportunities for transformation of the inner space. But contrary to the authors ' words of the new package, their children make the owner adapt to themselves, not the other way around. Opel Meriva Cosmo 1. 7DT 6AT (931 000 RUB). ) The multimedia system looks a bit idle, but the bulkhead is good, but its peak is in the salon of about three dozen tanks. Remember where it is! The system of sliding rear seats is called FlexSpace ("flexible space"), the minimum volume of the trunk has decreased slightly in comparison with the previous generation.
