An outlet for the exemplary family man

Greetings, dear readers!

For myself, I have decided that a minivan is a car for the whole family, preferably with many children. Every day, it is inconvenient to move, especially in the conditions of Moscow traffic jams and the resultant difficulties when Parking. Even if we ignore the low level of practicality of a van with a V8, because of its extravagance and location of the engine, the consumer difficult to motivate such transport. In the city you need something more compact, comfortable, but, preferably, faster and more efficient. Let's see what we can offer automakers. The choice really is, this can be a car with automatic or manual transmission, but the basis in any case — it is the turbo.

The largest range in this niche is represented by group VAG. Let's start with the founder of a whole series of cars: Volkswagen Golf R Estate. In fact, it's the Golf R, the turbocharged engine which produces 296 HP and six-speed transmission with two clutches and four-wheel drive touring and dispersed to hundred in 5.1 seconds, top speed is limited by electronics on a mark of 250 km/h. of Course, all-wheel drive there is not easy: initially, the Golf habits of front-wheel drive vehicle and only when the situation requires – is connected the rear axle. Available with a manual transmission, but it is the Golf R Estate is slower by 0.2 seconds. Extended body does not spoil the familiar forms of Golf, and the sporting spirit it is given only four exhaust pipes.

Skoda Octavia vRS Estate. Let's start with the fact that this wagon can be diesel, it's much more profitable if you often use the back of the body for its intended purpose. In addition, the Octavia vRS Estate is the largest in this class — this is a really big wagon, which will comfortably fit your whole family and half the supermarket. Two-liter turbo engine is fraught with 181 horsepower. Available in a choice of six-speed automatic or DSG, to which it passes a hundred in 8.2 seconds and accelerate up to 240 km/h. Skoda boring in terms of decoration — you are surrounded by only the grey plastic, but it is quite pleasant to the touch. Much better than its exterior: the Octavia a very intense look, and the disks for the RS versions and altogether inimitable. Although, comfort when riding, they are not added, rather the contrary. Suspension, in an effort to please both you and your passengers, was somewhere in the middle. It is stiff enough for dynamic driving and is not too soft for your passengers. The petrol version of the Octavia vRS Estate a little more fun. 2 liter engine with 217 horsepower, acceleration to hundred in 6.9 seconds and 250 km/h.

"Universal hot" Seat Leon ST Cupra, with the same engine and transmissions as the Golf, will delight you with 276 "horses" and accelerate to hundreds in 6.1 second. This is enough to disrupt the wheel slippage even on the go. Even on a dry surface. Universal is different from habaka just 45 extra kilograms of weight. There are not as many as in the Skoda Octavia but more than in the Golf, due to the lower floor. Causing the appearance of the Seat then supplemented with 19-inch wheels, twin tailpipes and bright red calipers. In addition, the available customization of appearance under each owner. Wheels, mirrors and grille can be painted in any color at customer's request, in spite of its bad taste. Have a Seat as there is a diesel version. At the same power, that of the Skoda, a lighter car accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds.
And, of course, Ford. Want to talk about the two generations of Ford Focus ST Estate. For many motorists, the lack of automatic transmission on this model can be a significant drawback and the reason to abandon this acquisition. But for me personally not play a big role, what kind of box installed in my car. I get equal pleasure from both automatic transmission and manual transmission.

An outlet for the exemplary family manFull size

In 2014, the Focus ST Estate was offered Mountune version. He was more powerful than the usual ST — 271 HP vs 252. The gain achieved increased intercooler, high performance air filter K&N and the configuration of the computer. All that is done, every owner of a ST, but within the walls of the plant and without voiding the warranty. However, nothing was done to the suspension and controls that causes some concern and anxiety on the background of the improved dynamics. He was good on the straights(5.9 to hundreds of mechanics), but did not allow to implement this extra power in the turns.

An outlet for the exemplary family manFull size

Released in 2015, the successor was better in all respects. Exterior of the 15th year was much more elegant, every detail has gained a few facets, whereas the model 14, the year was quite straightforward, and if made in haste. Same story with the interior. Decoration steel front Recaro seats.
Was carried out serious work on the handling. The steering became more responsive and intuitive reaction was shock absorbers are installed with new, more rigorous settings. Processing undergone and the electronic differential.

An outlet for the exemplary family manFull size

There are two-liter EcoBoost produces 247 HP and accelerates the car to a hundred in 6.7 seconds, and its maximum is limited electronically to 250 km/h.
Also available in diesel version: 182 horses with 2 liters, acceleration to hundred in 8.1 seconds and 220 km/h.
Look like an affordable family wagon with "light". Sometimes plain, but often causing, not always ultra-fast, but always driving, definitely practical, but nonetheless, purchased is not for this reason.

handling any minivan can compare with universal, which build on a sedan
and generally the fashion in the minivan was invented by the Americans, with their tendency to excess weight . one sedan( or wagon) perfectly fits a family of 5 people, and if they don't eat too much junk food :-)

Yes, all it endures, generally replace the turbo ( if SS turbo IHI) is light for Vaga ( saw one car which fell to 140 thousand km, and the fault of greba quite a different series) installing the k04 here is article 3( not at all) and if soup does not blow davolno for a long time they move, but for article 4 ( Garik, etc.) there is no forged bottom not do 400-500 forces required. Generally VAG davolno simple for downstroke and not so gamorean as it seems, you just have to take a new and necessary years, and to serve correctly and on time!

The displacement engines of around 1.4-1.6 L, I have 115 HP on "only" 1.9 L. At a friend's 90 HP, engine capacity as mine, the cost 1l more. the engine was a real 750 t km, has not yet moved.

New Alhambra skated on the test drive, really not much! Cars from 2000 to 2009 was done better. "Swimming" in turn, the interior is designed without taking into account fully retractable seats(they're only fold into the floor and get dirty about it sometimes), Russia was only besinci with a gun. The 1.4-litre engines, with uprated engines(i.e. minichannel lifespan). Very whimsical to quality of fuel. A lot of useless stuffed with different electronics, Steklarna roof all killed, okay it was just Luke. With my height and weight hard to climb in the driver's seat(in free!), ground clearance is obviously small — 12 cm vs. 18 I have now. To be honest not impressed, and at that time I had the money and desire to buy a new car.

And it is possible more in detail from where the information about the "Very whimsical to quality of fuel" and what is in your opinion the extra electronics?

Such a body take smart people who understand that they do not need to carry a ton of extra iron in the form of "crossover", but they need to carry bulky items — like work (not all white collar too!), and the family court — if you have two kids, the station wagon is a necessity.
