Business- lux

YOUR SEARCH:

when we began the negotiations with the auto-salon about the conducting test -dra1va Audi A', the discussion dealt with the all-wheel-drive machine with the three-liter motor and "automaton". But somehow there it was not formed in them; therefore to us they proposed to replace it by the clear red machine with the the newest turbodizelem 3,0 tdi and by quattro- transmission. It agreed 4 immediately, without the meditations. But also something did not grow together itself this time.

V to me was reached three-liter benzine A', but with the stepless transmission Multitronic and the drive only to the front axle. It would be possible to be distressed because of similar wrongness of fate. But, after studying the salon of "six", rapidly it came to the conclusion that all this fuss and according to the large calculation a value does not have. Indeed the overall sizes of machine clearly hint at the fact that it healthily will approach for the predstavitel'skikh purposes, and is very great the probability that the place after the "baranka" will be transmitted to hired driver, and the owner of auto- conveniently will be located on the spacious rear sofa. Therefore in order to more completely estimate the new Audi A', I invited its good familiar, who could temporarily be trained for a new profession into the personal chauffeur. But nevertheless must grow to the important-looking ride. To dostich', so to speak, the specific state. And, naturally, first at the control sat down 4 itself.

As becomes to the automobile of business- class, here everything, which is possible, it is electrified. But the reserve of space in all directions strongly exceeds the overall sizes of any mean statistical citizen: after displacing seat to the support back, I simply ceased to obtain to the pedals. Meanwhile leather armchair met with the stretched out embraces. It is reliable, but without superfluous importunity it retains even on the sharp turns. If back suddenly gets tired from the distant road, it is possible to arrange to itself the massage of back. Front panel is generously finished by tree and aluminum, and the central console, which passes into the tunnel, as if it is wholly borrowed from the the predstavitel'skogo A8. Well, and control of radio tape recorder, completely separate climate- control (including the adjustment of the airflow and frequency of the work of fan) and by other auxiliary functions is sewn into the system OF THE MMI (Multi Media Interface).

V of specification were indicated, that the machine was equipped with 6- disk cheyndzherom; however, on the console something of not evidently intake. Can, it in the glove box? But where the knob in order it to open? Cover is absolutely smooth, here misfortune! And management on the operation you do not read a little, it also in bardachke... Vicious circle. It was necessary for very to study knopochki, by which is generous useyana entire front panel, it climbed up even into the depths of THE MMI, but nothing being suitable it did not find. And here my view fell to the key, located to the right of display and decorated with incomprehensible symbolism. Yes, it is necessary to possess outstanding fantasy in order to guess: specifically, it answers for the opening of box. In the final analysis, after loading dear CD, I transferred the selector of "mul'titronika" to position drive and left for the way.

Studying interior A', randomly it revealed next to the selector of the variator of key start and stop engine. But why they, when there is a traditional key of ignition? The thought to glance into the management on the operation, as usual, was immediately rejected - is already better trial-and-error method. I harvest button start. Ugh, you! Pilot lamps on the panel of instruments caught fire, ignition was included. On the panel inscription - please, press foot break. Yes as much as desired! One additional pressure on the key for start, and engine really is started. Now it is possible even to leave from the machine, without turning off motor, and to take away key with itself. Engine will work, but machine will not be able to be touched from the place without the owner.

By one additional trick for any driver, who for the first time occurs in the salon A', the electrohydraulic actuator of hand brake appears; small key on the central tunnel can be accepted, for example, for the electro-glass-hoist. It is it's a pity only, which the "bench-hammer" now began it is not possible to use as a control element of machine, although with the abundance of different electronic systems to carry out the simple turn with the application of a hand brake is begun increasingly more complex and it is more complex. Another shortage: developers did not learn "bench-hammer" to independently release machine during the contact from the place as this done, for example, on kompaktvene Scenic: slightly it harvested to the gas, and machine begins motion.

On the winter road the absence of complete drive is shown immediately. How much forces not were under the cowling, front wheels helplessly are torn away into the slippage even with the smooth start. But already directional stability it is accurate at the height: it is possible simply to harvest to the gas and to let go control, sooner or later A' it will drive away. 3- liter motor proved to be very elastic and quiet. It makes it possible to confidently gain speed already with 1 500 r/min, and thrust on the high revolutions completely corresponds to the declared by producers 220 "horsepower". Compose competition to this machine on the road they can few.
