Four quarters of prestige

Comfortable and fast, roomy and compact, representative and not noisy. four-wheel drive, where something falls from the sky a half days a year, can not be overemphasized. four of them. And everyone - your approach to how to prepare for this recipe. Weight without massAudi A6 2.8 FSI quattro A6 from behind the wheel is seen most reputable car among the participants in our test. In this case it is also the lightest and most emotionally easy. With that base at Audi shorter than the BMW, the driver does not leave the A6 feel more control long wheelbase car than it actually is. It is quiet, and an updated V6 2.8 liter 220hp. with. does its work almost imperceptibly, like the "machine» Tiptronic, and the running balance between comfort and handling a little biased towards comfort (relative to BMW). However, both figures, whether they are available for measurement, together would give a slightly greater amount than that of its main competitor. Thanks largely to the large amounts of energy suspension, working in the comfort and peace of that to us in Russia it is important to have the chassis, so you can relax and not wait for each of the holes or waves of asphalt that make up the majority of our roads, no hassles. Today, I know only one is as soothing to the car market - Jaguar XF. But he did more and more expensive. In addition, there is no polnoprivodnym.A6 upgraded. Among the participants in our test vehicle was subjected to this all refinements later. And they were not so easy as it might seem at first glance at the familiar, in general, a car. Designer touches are almost unnoticeable: Audi's just a little refreshed, lighting equipment and bumpers. Another thing is technique. All engines have become much better and all versions of the car received new energy-saving technologies, and the system all wheel drive Quattro reconfigured with more rear-wheel accent in "gold" 60/40. Due to this characteristic has gone past the Audi understeer: car kept current family stability on the line, but managed today to order more easily. Just easy. "Easy" - in general it seems the main word in a conversation about this a solid German car. Whiskered nyan.Podoydite in time to the parking lot of any business center or to a large administrative building, and you find yourself in a sweet dream, the creators of the black Audi A6. Probably white or buff-brick specimens - an invention, or import them at once aliens. There are only a black car, only to go to the office. In fact, black - it's only a dress code, not attitude. Audi A6 has always been very easy, interesting and positive driving. Search for other changes, apart from optics and range of engines, in a restyled version is not worth it - they are not. In any case positive. Polosochka LEDs, for example, does not go off, if you turn off the ignition, turn signal and turned left turn the steering wheel. Well, you already notice that the left does not reach the janitor stands in the way a billion light years away. So do not feel the aroma of candy company in new leather interior. New times - new A6. But it does not matter, such confidence in the safety and the consequences of their sometimes bizarre actions the driver's seat does not give any other car. He knows how to do everything for you so that you feel that you have done. As a children's bicycle that rolls the handle of your caring dad. A6 - it Dad, that's why he is wearing a black suit, not because he was going to work. Taste spetsiyHonda Legend «SH-AWD and hondovsky V6 3.5». You might ask why I write "hondovsky" in the material about the Honda Legend, as if under its hood may be some other engine? Because after the "Honda" has put environmentalists and sonyam their four-cylinder engines, the same sad fate could comprehend and V-shaped. However, the V6 in the Legend is still characteristic of all what "Honda" won a place in the pantheon of the engine-class: sports breed, strong character, engineering elegance, and passionate voice. SH-AWD - system electronically controlled power take-off from the front axle. It is remarkable for its ability to increase the rotation speed of the external rear wheels through a planetary gear, helping the driver to turn the car. Ride on these cars (Lancer Evo, for example) - that windsurfing ride: the first time can be difficult to entrust your weight sail, but as you get used, it will go. Here we have to actively push on the gas when the tried and tested over the years driving reflexes require you to reset it: on corner entry. The Europeans, as is often the case ripe to launch a series of similar pieces later (BMW - in 2007, Audi - in 2008), but configure them with much more grace: their systems do not require the driver of violence against them. More information about this - in a conversation on the BMW in the same teste.Podveska Legend - the toughest test of the accuracy of reactions on the steering wheel and a willingness to maneuver "on the straight gas" - a little less convincing than the Europeans. A little - so little. But a very competitive price. Less - design and all that Repkina wrote about the interior. Honda could continue to win, we choose only the brains and cars purse. But she could not win. Even with all the attractiveness of "hondovskogo V6 3.5 AWD and SH-AWD». I "Over!" Imagine an open vote: six out of ten voted "against" your voice is the seventh, and he did not identify. You are very easy to be generous and extremely sweet. The winner and so the winner, the loser - it's nice, and you have no responsibilities. Appeared in the 2006 model Honda Legend (Acura RL) no one understood. Now let us rise up in its defense, the world will open your eyes! But what has happened has happened. The model has not turned out successfully and not make a serious restyling. Six months have not elapsed since the upgrade, but now it seems old-fashioned machine in its excessive severity. Trends have changed, but she wears the old-fashioned - it's expensive, tasteful, but boring and too pompous. The dynamics reveals the technical complexity and engineering excellence of this machine, but bored in traffic, you start looking at the details that cause the light half-smile of tenderness. So looking at old pictures, where everything looks pretty scary, but scary at the same time stupid. In the contest for the best four-wheel drive Legend - formidable and implacable opponent who is easily hurt, hurting for the many weaknesses relating to its interior and control panel. RestartCadillac CTS I still remember my first trip on the first four-wheel drive STS. That was the first for me, "Caddy" is not from the world of Elvis and his mother, and the reality of "The Matrix" and "reset." In the U.S. GM then restarted all the really cool, and made a strong impression of the car - it was very, very good on the go. And my expectations were more modest, and the quality and technique. We traveled all the test routes for all the covers, and I have found to find fault. Since that time had passed years. There were good cars SRX and STS, which changed the perception of the brand Cadillac. Changed so that these cars were directly compared with Japanese and European "classmates". And now we're on the comparative test next-generation CTS. However, a serious upgrade after that reboot was not, and the world, who then began to catch up with the Cadillac, was not on the spot. We can only shrug: that was a good candidate with work and resulted in a doctoral dissertatsiyu.U CTS is the soft suspension. She admits the build-up, and banks, and the delay reaction machine. And it has - the tryasuchaya: a trip on a cobblestone street on a "soft", "Cadillac", "shake out the soul" where relatively "hard» Audi and BMW - almost flying. CTS holds great speed straight and quite willing to accept the maneuver, even on slippery surfaces, but the competition his suspension - less tenacious, and all-wheel drive - the rough and with a strong rear-drive character. The stabilization system allows for greater freedom, allowing the driver to feel the glide well-controlled car and an automatic transmission with "honest" manual mode provides accurate reactions at gas ... CTS is still a good car all its shortcomings are not absolute: most of them are visible only in comparison with "Europeans". Intoned by retrogradamNavigator cool cars Cadillac CTS knows that somewhere there is Russia, knows next to Warsaw there is something Moscow. More, he knows nothing. But that's OK, the display can be customized to DJ mixer. Bose sound system with speed, as hip-hop, reads badly worn and scratched disc on DVD. Another course is telly. And the hard disk of 40 GB. And the hatch on both rows of seats. You look at this dirty side of the road parked Cadillac, and see how the skaters babes in bikini soaping his sides. You go and you feel the beauty of figure skating in a bikini to expose the face of California sun and even hotter looks. Comfortable feeling. Comfortable car. A practical car. (On the inside of the trunk lid has a full grip, so it was easier to close. There's even a heated wipers, windshield wiper nozzles and tank). And a very good offer - so much horsepower, driving wheels, chrome and leather for a half million rubles will not offer any other automotive brand. Stock hodaBMW 530xi «Five» BMW with us so long ago that was almost home, even those to whom it was originally not only a complete stranger, but an alien. Nevertheless, the machine that created much controversy, was capable of very long life. Even the experts can remember only the fact of its restyled rummaged in the memory. And very very few paid attention to the fact that since 2007 polnoprivodye version of the machine received an active rear differential that can in turn exert an additional torque to the outside rear wheel, helping the car turn. Only the connoisseur will celebrate a truly unreal performance "X-Five" in the corners and, unless he delved into pieces of paper, will ascribe these merits, rather, tenacity chassis, rather than a complete system privoda.Delo that xDrive BMW intelligently configured so that works without causing any unusual effects: not asking, in contrast to the Japanese counterparts, to experience new and tart taste of her work, learn from it baldet only and not on the dinner as a whole. xDrive, quite simply, works good. So delicious, that, as sometimes happens to us in the restaurant, the only remains that the squint of pleasure, and then write down the name of the dish, the address of the restaurant but weep over the score: more talk nechego.Kto not use all the features of adjusting to a luxury BMW shnyh-chairs - he steals from himself: this is a fantastic tool tray. Coupled with the excellent work suspension work out minor irregularities so that they do not notice at all, the seat can sensitively to facilitate and extend the life of the intervertebral discs. A real drawback: power consumption of the front suspension is often not enough to live without breakdowns. Infrared MIRV car BMW 530 xi lot of good. For a lot of money. Base cost is 2.186 million rubles., Plus 83 500 for "automatic", plus countless and invaluable practical option. From a conversation on this delicate subject and should begin the test. The cost of the tested vehicle is approaching three million. Everyone is used to the exterior of the machine and its presence on the roads, and people passing by do not pay her any attention, it is not seeing it as a bag of gold, powdered diamond dust is stronger than the snow. And I sit and watch in the dark at the world through a car mounted on a test infrared camera that tracks only the items with zero temperature. In the winter mud and cold I close a profitable, albeit an arrogant attitude - to see just warm. To see only the good. BMW cars and overgrown cliche cliches, like a tree with vines. Over the stereotypes no longer uglyadet machine. And even in our editorial board because of the "Five" raised a stir in the chicken coop in the morning. Each claims to objectivity of his subjective assessment. Well, it's just a credit to the car, six years from start of production is still causing a surprising number of disputes and emotions, and standing on a surprising number. RezyumeNeveroyatno was difficult at this time engaged in the distribution of seats. Participation in a dispute with the "Europeans" "Japanese women" and "American" contorted the whole system of coordinates. Their price offers, they cut the ground from the Cartesian cellules from under the feet of one who begins to lay flat on the shelves all the arguments, and tightening the screw space, offering a new dimension. The machine is inferior to the technique - will get a price quote to forget about it. Fourth place is explained only by the murderous Cadillac technically advanced, and sometimes the perfection of all other opponents. If you like the design, you do not mind having something in the new American style and not prone to envy, "Caddy" will be a good acquisition. And the savings can buy and some smaller machine - "Baby or DitYam." With Honda all the easier. It is not of the same test: already out of flour. All the matter in detail. It is significantly cheaper than "Europeans", but a little less balanced, and it lacks the chic: both technical and design. As for the social, in Russia, used to the thoroughbred cars and more sensitive than most countries to ensure that the car - not just technology and design, but also the status, then it would be better for us to be her Acura. BMW - the gift of that old-timers, and most technically advanced, and technically perfect, which is not the same, as we have seen, for example Honda. Its all-wheel drive - a work of engineering: the fruit of excellent work not only engineers and test pilots. Even the design has not yet expired, however, the price - more than a list of benefits that the city still less important than on the track. But the problem with the power consumption is particularly sensitive to the suspension of Russia. Thus, more accessible, more comfortable, and practically not inferior in technique (except for a little less efficient all wheel drive), Audi has become our pobeditelem.1.
