Previous VW Passat did not shine on the background of their rivals in the class. We can assume that this fact has stimulated further development to make the new model is more advantageous with respect to all properties. The intrigue of our comparison is also supported by the changes in the character of Audi A4 (together with the updating of the engine), excellent sliding properties Ford Mondeo, the traditional prestige of the Mercedes-Benz C-class and originality of the Opel Vectra. All the heroes of today's discussion have engines ranging from 140 to 155 horsepower, which is fed from the nozzle with the inscription DT.V accordance with the common trend with respect to all models of any class, the body of the new VW Passat is greater than the old one. Machine length increase for the sixty millimeters and has reached 4765 mm. The engine is still transversely. The combination of these circumstances has allowed the designers to find Volkswagen extra space for the inhabitants of the cabin. Do not let us down and trunk: a volume of 565 liters. However, when it comes to open space for rear-seat passengers, the Ford Mondeo, even though no longer young, offers people bolshe.Funktsionalnost car toward the driver in most shows Volkswagen, and it is not surprising: he is the most modern and progressive compared to the participants. Passat has an electronically controlled parking brake system and bi-xenon headlights that track the steering wheel. C-class only in this sense is close to level, but its interior is roomy less. Very good looks updated Audi A4: it can be written in its asset quality finish and excellent staffing security systems. Ford Mondeo is good, above all, a spacious lounge, but from a security perspective, it is not the most perfect. However, the main feature of Opel - outstanding ability to transform the passenger compartment in a variety of new Volkswagen variantov.Na course differs sufficiently low noise level. Even at high speeds, fares do not molest any aerodynamic noise, no sound of rolling tires. Of course, the turbo diesel recalls his trademark uterine rumbling, but this background is quieter than a Mercedes. However, the "Prince of Silence» Passat did not, skipping to the top of the more quiet Vectra: even on the highway the only sound accompanying the movement - a slight humming engine. Reinforce the impression and the most comfortable suspension tuning. No matter the car is loaded to the limit or just the driver on board, whether well or surface under the wheels of "washboard" - Vectra ride in any conditions is the best among all considered vehicles. Volkswagen and Mercedes on the bumps a little harder, Audi is inclined a little "dance", and comfortable the whole slightly worse than Ford behaves under load. Leaders on the part of the driver's ergonomics - Volkswagen and Audi.Opel Vectra 1.9 CDTI engine will not name the high-spirited driving, however the motor produces a nice impression. He willingly accepts from the bottom, confidence grows and provides an even pull over the entire operating range, demonstrating to the same enviable economy of 6.7 liters of diesel per 100 kilometrov.Bolshoy 2.2-liter Ford Mondeo takes the lead on the part of accelerating dynamics: 155-hp engine pleases his abilities developed in the mid-range speeds. However, the "bottom" is not enough torque, and engine promotion contraindicated: such efforts only lead to increased noise. Mondeo consumes 7.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and on this indicator it is very close to VW (7,8 l/100km). Consumption is not as small as desired, but the rest of the TDI of the new "Passat" proved himself worthy. The work is not accompanied by motor "diesel" vibration through the use of balancing shaft, and the combination with a manual transmission just fine. Switching mechanism clearly pleased with the character of fixation and small moves a lever, and a good selection of gear ratios transmissii.Na Audi A4 is set the same engine, but in this case, due to less weight machine, it provides a vehicle for a small gain of the booster. But the work of the drive transmission control is not as pleasant as the Passat. The winner in usability compared to transmissions is Mercedes-Benz. A combination of good aerodynamic bodywork, transmission and engine giving the car from Stuttgart, the highest speed pokazateli.Kak before, the Mondeo is a trump card handling. This machine is pleased excellent stability on the line, neutral balance in the turn, the uniqueness of the reactions to manipulate the gas pedal and the small delays in responses to taxi. Throw in a pleasant setting the power steering and powerful brakes, and you have a portrait of a utilitarian vehicle, endowed, however, exemplary manners of behavior on the road. Passat another: a massive and stable. And although you will not say that VW in turn comes reluctantly, yet he does not, as Ford. It is less sensitive to the position of the gas pedal in a turn, and forgive the driver a lot of mistakes, but thrown out of place when driving on high-speed arc gas can cause chilling skid the rear axle. Efforts on all governing bodies are chosen correctly, and the only thing that can pick on - the longest braking distance, due to the large mass of avtomobilya.Bystree can stop Audi, and a significant role in achieving this result is played tires Continental Sport Contact with the profile 235 / 45. However, driving performance in general, front-drive A4 is not as good as it should be: in the behavior of the machine there is slight nervousness, uninformative steering, though it does not protect the driver from road irregularities: sends tremors and shocks properly. Vectra and C-class cars seem to be more balanced and predictable in their habits, though not the most mobile. And if driving a Mercedes you can always have fun, the Opel with its deliberately "cotton" steering, solid rolls in a turn and a penchant for the buildup is strictly utilitarian vehicle, able to carry the appropriate level of comfort riders from point A to point B. Yes , a special pleasure from managing Vectra will not experience, but you can calm down so that it is the most environmentally friendly car in our group by equipment serial motor filter for particulate matter. And the base price is low, although this "compensated" by the high cost of maintenance and a rapid loss of car prices in ekspluatatsii.Liderom in "economic" competition advocates Passat - at the expense of a reasonable starting price, combined with the low cost of maintenance and the fact that the car Pre-Owned is not so much losing in price. A little behind Audi, mainly due to the high initial price, well, the most burdensome for the owner of the purse with respect to all costs will, of course, Mercedes-Benz.Takim, the new VW Passat has managed to become a trendsetter in the middle class and raise the bar on consumer characteristics these machines to a new level. He's the big, solid and comfortable. He is endowed with acceptable dynamics, and thus remains in the usual financial framework. But he comes on the heels of Opel Vectra, a former leader in this class. Excellent ride and quiet running diesel CDTI, fuel economy and low base price of the car is not allowed Opel lost the competition. Modified Audi A4 is worthy of the most flattering assessments - mainly because of the combination of dynamics and comfort. Also, for excellent ergonomics and quality of study details. Mercedes-Benz C-class is still no offers incomparable image, corporate nature of the balance between comfort and exemplary behavior on the road. But it remains expensive and not very spacious. Closes our five Ford Mondeo, which is, nevertheless, an excellent choice for the active part of the driving community.
