Indispensable Volkswagen Lupo

There are cars that will lose their relevance only when they become unsuitable for driving. One of those is the Volkswagen Lupo. The main reason for its popularity is the ratio of the price of the car, its quality and fuel consumption.

Under the hood of this "kid" is a three-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. Its volume is only 1.2 liters. Together with him is an automatic transmission. A small disadvantage, which is compensated by low weight, is the lack of power steering. The passport says that the car spends about 2.7 liters on the highway and 3.6 in the city.

The new Volkswagen Lupo is lightweight by 150 kg. This result was achieved by using in some details the aluminum alloy used in aviation. The same elements that are made of iron are galvanized. And this means that the body is practically not subject to external influences. The engine of the car was cast from silumin. Only casters are made of cast iron. Changes also touched the details of the running gear. The use of alloy wheels, hollow shafts of the gearbox, and also made of high-alloy steel rear axle beams allowed to reduce the weight of the Volkswagen Lupo.

Manufacturers did everything to minimize fuel consumption. For example, one of the innovations used in this model is the "start / stop" system. So, if you turn on this mode in the city, the car will stop when stopping, and when you press the accelerator pedal, start and go. True, one can not be sure that such tricks will be to the liking of other participants in the movement.

Volkswagen Lupo is an ideal option for the city. It is here that he will feel like a fish in the water. In the city, there will not be an inadequate power of the car, because here you will not overclock very much. At the same time, it's a sin to complain about brakes. The car stops quickly enough. According to the passport, the Lupo can accelerate to 165 km / h, but do not recommend it to anyone. Too small the car, too short at it a wheelbase to go at such speed. Even a small gust of wind can play a cruel joke with the driver. And the quality of the road surface in our country is not the same as in Germany. At this speed, it's not like a hummock, but even a stone can affect the stability of the car. So it's possible to accelerate to this speed indicator only on a special test site.

On the road it is quite comfortable to drive at a speed of 100 km / h. And in the city so fast can not go, so that there the driver will feel comfortable on the Volkswagen Lupo. Plus, the dimensions allow at any time to find a parking space where other cars could only bumper. It will be hard to "baby", if you put 3 adults in the salon. Not for this purpose Volkswagen Lupo is intended. The drivers' comments indicate that it is very difficult for them to climb even on a small hill in such conditions. As already everyone has seen, it is ideal for driving around the city pizza and other similar cases. Volkswagen Lupo, the price of which is very, very small, boasts a small fuel consumption, good build quality, as well as functionality. Of course, there are enough buyers for this car.
