automobiles Subaru love and value in entire peace. But on their native land this stamp for some reason rarely they were favored loud praises. Only during November of past year new Legacy was named in Japan the "automobile of year". "champion" from the country of the ascending sun to the test -dra1ve www.audi-bmw.com".

Relation to all-wheel-drive automobiles in our country and mud it was always snow very similar to the unhappy love. With entire frank koryavosti of the "fields" and Of "uAZikov", they for a period of many years were invariably idolized by the specific part of the population. Certainly, nature of these feelings is intelligible - their capability for displacement over the Russian gullies is simply unique. Everything else - weeping. Approximately the same tender feelings were formed and to the the thoroughbred Subaru, in construction of which from the generation was placed wheel formula "four they roll - four row". But in a difference in the compatriots, Japanese, as a rule, they nevertheless answered love the impulses of feelings of their owners.

This machine has completely worthy base equipment. As it is accepted in "Japanese", Legacy is well "armed" by all possible electric drives - lateral glass, mirrors and door locks; and by electric heatings - seats and mirrors. Is still provided electric heating frontal glass under the blades of the windshield-wipers - very urgent function for our snowy winters. Automobile is equipped ABS., cruise- control, immobilayzerom, and in the salon "creates weather" the moved climatic system. Wheel disks this assembly cast, but does not have hatchway, and four are implanted instead of six pillows of safety under the skin. Instead of universal audiosistemy to six disks kassetnikom stands only D- record player. The fact that in this machine there is neither system of the course stabilization VDS nor "xenon" - this is still understandable, is such "price category". But the fact that in the front bumper was not placed even this necessary trifle as protivotumanki, already a little astonishes. In this case in the salon be present "ponty" in the form of sensory wide-format monitor. Here already that actually pricks up ears, so this old four-stepped "automaton", assumed to this assembly. Moreover to the machine goes only it - even "knob" it is not provided.

First pleasant surprise - expensive to the form leather salon and the pleasant softness of plastic panels.

Some ideas in the creation of interior, are similar, they are borrowed from "leksusov". For example, the lunar illumination of displays, "titanium" central console, accurate numbers of knopochek with the ruby illumination and colored the monitor mentioned above.

What it has useful and practical functions besides the not working in Russia system of navigation? It was explained after half-hour fuss with it that it is there are several. Actually this is control center of on-board computer and by all subsystems Legacy. Its simplicity and convenience in the use is practically irreproachable in contrast to the analogous "intellectual" system i -Drive bmw, which by their alogia of some drivers easily leads to the fury.

Driver seat has electrical adjustments, including on height and inclination of pillow. Ergonomics of driver place pulls to the estimation "good" - seats are convenient for the low reclining landing, podrulevye switches appear themselves intuitively, treadle knot seems simply perfect. But the steering column does not here have enough longitudinal adjustment. The tracks of the economical approach of the Japanese to the building of automobiles immediately are revealed on front passenger siden'i - to tune it it is necessary only to mechanical levers and little wheels. Then pleasant surprise expects the passengers of a rear number. The increased inclination of the back of sofa and large elbow-rest will make even multihour trips nonfatigue. But only two together - the surplus of free space on the width in salon Legacy it is not observed.

But the main charm of machines Subaru, certainly, not in the luxury of salon and not in the spaces of rear sofa. Even absence of additional comfort on the front by the right of siden'i emphasizes that this machine - for the driver.

For it here and the "firm dish" of company - completely symmetrical relative to the axis of machine complete drive with the interaxial differentials, and very rigid body, and the brought to the perfection kinematics of suspensions. This collection makes Legacy very nearly the same "insinuating person" as Impreza. Certainly, the reactions of large sedan not not so sharp and in motion Legacy are more important-looking - its suspension "is sharpened" under the comfortable ride. But species immediately is felt - in sharp and responsive steering control. In spite of amplifier, twists itself in motion "baranka" Legacy heavyish. But precisely this tuning and furthermore with the clearly expressed feedback and the confident recovery of control to the mid-position, it will be pleased to the amateurs of rapid ride. , who manages well the methods of the driving of all-wheel-drive machines, reaction of sedan they will seem by absolutely single-valued - slips in the turning begin they are smoothly and dissipated quietly for the same. Moreover, in my view, in controllability Legacy there are even pluses in comparison with Impreza. For example, in "elder sister" is considerably better directional stability at the high speeds and furthermore complete indifference to the side gusts.

A here with the dynamics in the machine of the matter proceed much more badly. Here involuntarily it is desirable to compare Legacy with the conditional (throughout the working volume of motor, the "automaton" and the equipped mass) class-mate - 525-1 BMW. Difference is obtained as between the sky and the earth. If Bavarian machine is capable of literally detonating at any speed, then Legacy can only unhurried be accelerated. It is understandable that much horsepower is necessary to expend on the rotation of the "excess" details of all-wheel-drive transmission. But it nevertheless me seemed that in Legacy "brings down color" the gearbox.

Four-range automaton, although with the possibility of manual switching, manifests some toothless nature - transfers are extended, switchings are fussy - first it involves the change of transfer to peregazovki, then it catches too early, when engine revolutions do not be sufficient for the confident acceleration.

Reaction on "kick- Down" is measured not by portions, but even by several seconds. I.e., vexation from the fact that Legacy with the 2,5- liter aggregate is clearly capable to larger, remained v with any state of motions.

In other words, "light-signal starts" - not the element of this copy Legacy. For this better to select another "zubariki". But for the comfortable and prudent ride, moreover with the complete confidence in the irreproachable behavior of machine on any road - quite that. By the way, this style of driving in no way assumes that it is necessary to be moved compulsorily with the tortoise speed.

Estimation

+ stylish appearance. Outstanding controllability, especially at the high speeds. High level of comfort.

- suspension works too softly. Automatic KPP - spoon of tar in the irreproachable motion of machine.

Resume

it is ideally fitted out to the "daily operation" by driver, who values stability and reliability of the behavior of all-wheel-drive automobile.
