Compact cars have played in the history of BMW a huge role. First-born was a baby BMW Dixi (licensed English Austin Seven), and after the Second World War the company to stay afloat thanks to egg heads kabinenrolleram BMW Isetta (incidentally, also the license) ... Since the 70th Munich firm gradually "grew out of short trousers." But now BMW have decided to return to the small car sector - and when the competition reached its climax! Munich talked about the same as in his time in Stuttgart when creating a class: to market a traditional car at such a loud name is uninteresting, it is necessary something special. What? Rear-wheel drive hatchback - one of a kind! While many modern hatchbacks demonstrate a craving for one-volume (prime example - Peugeot 307), "unity" is different classic profile: lower body with an elongated hood and shifted back lounge reminiscent of a previous BMW Z3 Coupe. Dynamic silhouette! But it is hardly balanced. In some perspectives, "penny" is suggestive of skinny girls, models that are in pursuit of a slender figure is brought himself to utter exhaustion. Because of the thin metal "skin" sticking ribs, clavicle, hip bone, the "face" - sunken eyes, lights ... interior is not breathing German perfectionism. If the "three rubles," which is about to be removed from the pipeline in the X5 and X3, even in the new figure of merit of materials is visible "by eye", the "unity" there is a desire to touch to make sure that this is not fake. Rudder - frankly "plastic." Instead of the traditional vehicles for BMW «full» dashboard in front of just two truncated dial - as Z4. Pointer coolant temperature does not. The well-known econometric pointer disappeared (he is now "sewn up" in the onboard computer). Well, at least tachometer ostalsya.Posadka - as in a sports coupe: you sit low, legs extended forward and the window-sill line stretches for the shoulders. Very broad range of adjustment seats allow to choose the optimum driving position of any size and profile of thoughtful and high-quality upholstery inspire confidence that the back does not ache even begin a long journey. There is a separate climate control (finally Bavarians were used instead of buttons, comfortable rotating knob temperature), full-time audio system with a Q sound, there is an "advanced" on-board computer that lets you know the oil level and run up his shift, monitor fuel consumption and even customize the on-board alarm clock! But there were "Uncommittable" paddle switches - as in "Five» BMW. To cope with them is not easy - it can not turn off the "turn signal" that you can not even "find" a permanent regime of the wiper. Of course, sooner or later the "e" can be used lever. But why it took them to go? When seven years ago mersedesovtsy prepared for publication of the first A-class, in front of them was to keep the price at the then-Golf - that is, within the 30 thousand German marks (mark at that time was almost twice cheaper dollar). Seven years have passed, and now the new Mercedes A170 with an average level of equipment worth 31 000 - but no marks, and dollars! Well, that does not evro.Mozhet, a freshman, "packaged" as the E-Class? Not at all. Separate climate control no rear electric window and electric seats - too. Rain Sensor? The ambient light sensor? Remote engine start system? Headlamp washers? Parktronic? All of this - only for a fee ... Before you open the door, let's remember what was the first A-class. He was close (spacious long wheelbase version appeared later) with questionable ergonomics, and frankly cheap materials finishes ... And now? "Adult" design, and solid raznofakturnye finishing materials. A full car! While the number of devices cokraschaet BMW, Mercedes them increases: four in the dial chrome bezel. And - not a shadow of its former igrivosti.C ergonomics, alas, everything is not smooth. We have already embarrassed once again say that the use of "one-armed" shift paddles inconvenient, for example, to include "caretakers" (both front and rear) to remove his hand from the handlebars. Steering column adjustable for height only - flight can not be changed. At the top of the center console is still sound system, but not the control panel ventilation, it would be logical. I was surprised no buttons, including quick mode sweating windshield: you own direct flows up and put on maximum fan, and when the glass otpoteet - return all in place. But in fairness, we note that "sweats» Mercedes less than the BMW. What Golf? It looks like the case with Charlie Chaplin, who participated in the contest incognito their counterparts - and finished in third place. "Fifth," Golf in Moscow for many. But every time the eyes squint: a new Golf or old? And the Golf at all? Perhaps it is Polo? Remains unclear, and how dealers can sell the Golf with a modest 102-strong little motor and not the richest equipment as much as a $ 24580.Zato will lure buyers than dealers BMW, is understandable. Rear-wheel drive! If you do not take into account the Izhevsk and other relics of the Ode to the global automotive industry, BMW is the first series - the only rear-wheel drive hatchback in the class. And it is not only a tribute to the tradition BMW. In rear-wheel drive car the front wheels only direct the car, so ceteris paribus the wheel "cleaner", and the link in the chain of driver-vehicle-road - transparent. In the tense RWD car later turns slipping front wheels out, as they are loaded only shear forces and torque applied to the rear wheels. RWD layout reduces the moment of inertia about the vertical axis and make the car more likely to change the trajectory and actively zanyrivat in turns. But under intense machine acceleration "squat" dogruzhaya leading rear wheel and allowing them to realize the maximum torque from 115 moment.No-horsepower "unity" does not fly - it just goes. Within five minutes you start to think that the BMW motor mechanics so carried away in recent years, multi-cylinder engine that they forgot about inline "four"! But when our priborist Andrey Mokhov showed the results of instrumental measurements on a rolling road, everything fell into place, "Bavarian" showed the best time to disperse the "hundreds", the highest "maximum speed" and better flexibility! How can this be explained? Only the fact that the degree of frustration is directly proportional to the degree of expectation. When you approach to squat a car, gets into a close room, taking semi-lying position and fasten themselves to the profiled seat, my head starts to hammer away at hammer pulse: Now, now ... Here it was that expectations were on the ruble, and acceleration - the "penny." Of course, in addition to mood, there are objective reasons - BMW 116i is really only good for overclocking "the floor", where each transfer "gets out" to the limiter, when the little engine gives all power to the driver's gratification. A high-speed begins to play a well-designed aerodynamics, if Mercedes and Volkswagen to 150 km / h are already beginning to turn sour, the "penny" is actively razgonyatsya.No in life do not we go through the deserted roads of the landfill, and the usual highway - the speed limit , with traffic lights and a passing truck. In these modes, the Bavarian motor is nothing special. It lacks high-torque at medium speed - you have to twist it more, listening to the answer is not very pleasant mumbling and often change gear. Not unscrewed "in the ring" a short second gear - no "catches" the long third ... to shift gears smoothly turns out not always, be very careful to work the gas and the long-travel clutch pedal. A little more sharply dropped the clutch - a car, "faltered." Later, hit the gas - again a hitch. Yes, and a switching mechanism not perfect: it works well, but still not as precisely as in golf or a Mercedes A-klassa.A in mood spoiled disgusting visibility ago. Not only do you sit low, so still and mirror are small, and the mirror reflected the inner rear roof pillars and massive podgolovniki.No even modest engine, BMW - the best car in drayverskogo trinity. High-speed double-edged wheel, roll - minimal response - with lightning speed. BMW wants to rush, I want to take turns on the edge! The more so because this face is clearly higher than the front-konkurentov.No this sweet "sense of the vehicle" does not come immediately. Initially afraid of the rear-wheel drive car, as sharp steering and slurred feedback generate mistake after mistake. From habit is faster turns, "Saw," constantly podrulivaya - then dovorachivaya steering wheel, then re-straightening the trajectory. Only by doing this a few times and overcome the psychological barrier, you know that a stock chassis - crazy. When you get used to, then do not feel that the severity, of the "rear-wheel drive", which we feared at first. All going on smoothly and under control - even when turned off the stabilization system DSC. Exceeded the speed of rotation - the car moves smoothly four wheels outside. However, he readily responds to the complete rotation of steering, that for many cars, especially front wheel drive, it is simply impossible. A sharp turn in the discharge of gas does not cause problems, too - at first car moves smoothly to a smaller radius, and only then as smoothly goes into a skid. A correction of drift - a trick. Of course, even for a beginner driver gradual drift may be an insurmountable challenge - especially on slippery roads. But in Munich, probably counting on the fact that if the driver intentionally turns off DSC, holding the button for five seconds, then it has some of my skills to ride in the limiting regimes and realistically assess their relationship vozmozhnosti.No crony "penny" is not allowed - especially in the wet. Firstly, with increasing speed steering sensitivity increases. Even at a speed of 120 km / h BMW makes the driver to grab the steering wheel in a death grip and focus on administration - even a slight deflection from the zero position is instant cast aside! And for each such maneuver force on the steering wheel for a split second late and there is a feeling of "loss" of the car and everything inside falls out of fear. In addition to the rough road bagel BMW «alive" - ??it spontaneously turns from side to side in response to waves of asphalt and similar kolei.Za nervousness we already criticized BMW X3. On the one hand, there is a high rate of "penny" just as high. Rudder "sharp" and "easy" on a fast course, but at low speeds seems to be "dull", while making three standard turns from lock to lock. Yes, and effort in parking mode - not a lady: bagel too tyazhela.Zato brakes as always, flawless. The highest efficiency, excellent ABS, "transparent" feedback. Elastic with a small pedal stroke has to active inhibition, even with the "highways" velocities. However, other vehicles brakes are good too. But only a "penny" is equipped with adaptive brake signals. In the quiet braking bright red light up only the lower part of the tail lights (and a third brake light). And when braking, "the ABS" light up the lower sectors of the first, and a moment later - flash headers. If the driver is chasing the car slept the first "flash", there is a chance that he did notice the second ... Of course, we expect to see stronger numbers measuring the stopping distance from 100 km / h. But all three vehicles exceeded the "psychological" threshold of 40 meters: the role played not quite half wet after a rain cover dynamometric roads and low temperature if the nuances of handling vozduha.A you to brake drum? If you just want to go - from home to office and back? Then forget about BMW. Why deal with a nervous steering, when at the same speed can be relaxed to Mercedes, holding onto the steering wheel with one hand only? Course, above the A-class banks in the turns, but many would prefer to put up with the rolls, than having a bumpy suspension BMW. Calm and comfort - that's credo klassa.Pust A Mercedes is not as quick to turn, let the steering sensitivity on his much lower, and the reaction is not as polished. Instead, he gently responds to the steering wheel turns, the trajectory is very stable and forgiving of driver error. And not without reason stabilization system, which cruelly intervenes in the control of the car, and "strangles" slip in the bud, did neotklyuchaemoy.Soglasno these instrumental measurements, Mercedes inferior competitors on the dynamics of dispersal. But in "real life" A-class is perceived as more spirited car. This feeling arises from the high-torque motor and an impeccable work of the box. Surprisingly gently working the gearshift and "soft" pedal can easily "push" in the mirrors and was pleased to start with each svetofora.Esche advantage of A-class - excellent visibility. You sit high, large mirrors, and rear-seat headrests sinking does not cover the review back. True, some interfere with the low roof line: a salon mirror can be seen only about a hundred meters from the road behind him avtomobilya.Volkswagen an old 102-strong little motor did not surprise. Already after 4500 r / min engine turns reluctantly. However, relatively quiet ride in high-torque it enough. Even though the long-stroke clutch pedal, the transition from one program to another real pleasure, especially because when you switch the engine control electronics to very precisely "fall" into steam. And if you switch on the BMW must be very careful, you can do this Golf rather casually - and it does not make any mistakes! Manageability - also a model. On the Golf can ride in comfort mersedesovskom mode - or you can rush almost as fast as the BMW. Why almost? Yes, because in turns limits the possibility of front-drive car - not even so good as the Golf - still lower than the rear-wheel drive Volkswagen BMW.Zato easier to manage.

And, counting the scores again, this time taking into account all the criteria, we get another alignment. In the first place - Mercedes, Volkswagen - the second - the third BMW.Konechno, it is difficult to imagine a pragmatist who will buy compact hatchback at the cost of more than 25 thousand dollars. But if you put at the heart of boring quality-price ratio, the undisputed winner - Golf. Good on all counts. Of course, the Golf could use a more powerful motor - for example, 150-hp 2.0 FSI. But then the price will be surprised drugoy.Priyatno new A-class. Of close to worthless clumsy handling capsule it has become a full-fledged car - with high-quality interior, roomy rear seat and large boot. And the petrol engine with 116 hp came to him at the very time: it corresponds to the chassis and the driver's expectations, so that threaten to buy a more powerful modifications hardly makes sense. Price, of course, is high. But cheap does not happen Mercedes! BMW first series - car specific. It is designed for active and, most importantly, the skilled drivers. For those who can reveal all the charms of a rear-wheel chassis BMW, but is ready to close their eyes to close and uncomfortable back seat to the ladies here bagazhnik.A "unity» BMW hardly fits. It is better to Mini - just as sharp, but less demanding avtomobil.Da and four 1.6-liter motor is rather weak for the chassis, obviously designed for in-line "six" power under two hundred forces. But this is only the beginning! In the arsenal of the first series will still be trehdverka, coupe and convertible even. A range of engines and gearboxes will be expanded.
