Hyundai Elantra 2012 Limited Silver

Review of the car owner Hyundai Elantra 2012 takes its toll, I had to part with Karisma, I thought about it in April 2012. At that time, I only had enough money for Solaris or Kia Rio, provided that I sell an old car. Spring has flowed into summer, summer has already passed the middle, I almost saved up money, and on August 1, 2012 I went to order Solaris, where I saw Elantra. My first thoughts were: "Is Solaris so beautiful ?! Damn it, it's Elantra!" The price tag for Elantra was not yet available for me. All summer I sat on pins and needles, worried that no one was buying Karisma, and at the very end of the summer they bought it from me. The money was now enough for a more serious car, I was completely confused in the choice and as a result I was looking for a Chevrolet Cruze. Digging on the Internet, I again stumbled upon Elantra ... In the salon, I took a ride on a test drive (on the same day I drove 4 more cars), I was told that it was unrealistic to bring the basic equipment, but in Moscow, in the warehouse, there are 2 cars in the optimal configuration  Hyundai Elantra 2012 Limited Silver for 766t.r. The managers said that to wait from 3 days to 2 weeks, it all depends on when the car transporter will be formed. That same evening, the plenum of the Supreme Family Council decided: "We take it!" And then the agonizing waiting time stretched, the seconds added up into minutes, then into hours, in days, weeks ... I constantly called the car dealership and heard in the phone: "Do not worry ..." dacha the phone rang: "Congratulations, car come, you can take it! "I don't think that happiness can be in the material, but at that moment I was a little more happy. On Sunday I flew into the salon with a full suitcase of money, and now, I go out into the courtyard of the car dealership and ... It stands, black, slightly covered in dust, glitters in the bright sun. Everything in the cabin is in packages, stickers with Korean inscriptions. I open the door and I smell newness, an indescribable feeling. When the first emotions subsided, it turned out that it would not be possible to pick up the car on the same day and generally have to wait for the original PTS for a week ((I put the signaling and protection, made insurance there, and the next day they gave it to me. All week I drove without numbers and with a copy of the vehicle. why I chose this particular car Now, perhaps I'll tell you about the car itself, I will divide the review into several sections. 1. Engine, dynamics. 1.6 D-CVVT MPI engine. CVVT system (for different manufacturers VTEC, VVT, MIVEC) variable valve timing system, D stands for Dual (Duble) i.e. located on the intake and exhaust valves. Chain drive of camshafts. The engine is closed from above with a plastic casing, in the middle there is an oil dipstick and a filler neck for oil. The intake manifold is plastic, which only reduces the overall weight, is located at the front. The generator is suspended in the upper half, good, less prone to splashing when driving through a puddle. The engine compartment is fully occupied, the filler neck is conveniently located. The engine is not noisy, at idle it is not audible in the cabin, vibrations are not transmitted to the body. As soon as I press the gas, a solid serious sound is heard, like a large car, of a larger class)). Economical, on the highway I got 5.5 liters per hundred for 700 km while the consumption was constantly falling. I kept the revs at about 2500 and in 6th gear it turned out 100-110 km / h. The city is still about 10 liters. I did not spin 2000-4000 rpm more than it was supposed to. according to the instructions. I must say that traction has been felt well since 2000, and in 2nd gear from 1500. This allows you to make good overtaking in 4th-5th gear. If we compare with the 1.8 GDI engine on Karisma, where 122 hp, on the Elantra the reaction to gas is more dull, but the thrust starts at lower revs, on the GDI, with the Japanese gearbox, the gears are more stretched and the motor opens at 3000-3500 rpm min. At first, when shifting gears and when starting off, there was a twitching, apparently this is due to the lack of work of the clutch, now everything is normalized. I'll start with the box, because there is nothing special to write about her, the only thing is to tell about short programs. The first gear when driving is engaged well (compared to most cars), the clarity of gear changes is slightly worse than that of Karizma with a Japanese gearbox, and better than that of Jetta (s https://cars45.com.gh/iPmZ4kCl8kyWAYiJN0aPQKxy
