Positive and negative feedbacks about the nissan beetle

The car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in early 2010 and immediately attracted attention with a non-trivial design combined with high technical standards. Parameters of the new compact crossover are 4135 * 1765 * 1570 mm, and the wheelbase is slightly shorter than that of its counterparts on the manufacturer Note and Qashqai.

The car is produced in two trim levels: base and top. It is equipped with a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel-drive electronic system, which is the latest discovery of the Nissan company. It is planned to begin sales of Nissan Beetle in Russia in 2011. At the moment it can be purchased in Europe at a quite democratic price. It is sold on the European market with three types of engines to choose from: gasoline with turbocharging and direct fuel injection (190 hp), petrol 16-clapon (117 hp) and diesel 110 hp. The estimated maximum fuel consumption is 6.9 liters per 100 kilometers. The estimated cost of Nissan Beetle in Russia will be about 625 thousand rubles. Such a price, undoubtedly, will attract a huge number of buyers, as it distinguishes the car among others of the same group.

Some motorists have already left their recalls about the nissan beetle, in which it is not always praised. So the strength of the car in public opinion was its design. Thanks to a wide windshield, everything that is happening on the road is perfectly visible. The lack of handles on the back doors makes it similar to the coupe, so almost all agreed that the family car can not be called such a car.

As for the appearance, the responses to the nissan beetle also differ somewhat. Someone thinks that this freak is a shame of the concern Nissan, while others, on the contrary, hold the view that its appearance is fashionable, modern and fresh. It is difficult to talk about innovation in the design of a car, since even with the naked eye one can see its similarity with Kashkay.

Negative recalls of Nisan The beetle is mainly concerned with its rigid suspension, because of which, even moving through the recumbent policemen, the backside of the car jumps heavily, which is extremely inconvenient. Still motorists have criticized the ECO regime, which is effective only on direct roads and then, if you leave it from the SPORT mode. Also, the brakes that were too hard showed themselves too badly, which stop the car abruptly with a slight pressure on them.

Many of the recalls about the nissan beetle were left by men, who noticed that the windshield was not sufficiently inflated, so ice is constantly present on the windshield in winter, and that noise insulation is almost completely absent at high speeds. Women did not like the high fuel consumption in the city and the inability to adjust the rudder along the length.

Summarizing all of the above, Nisan beetle is not the most successful model of this concern. Undoubtedly, its design distinguishes the car among others on the road. It combines the exterior of an SUV and a premium sports car. Another of its positive characteristics is low cost, although, most likely, in Russia it will cost more than the promised 625 thousand. The minuses of the car were rigid suspension and brakes, the inability to adjust the cabin under the driver, the small volume of the engine even in the configuration, where there is a turbo. In general, Nissan Beetle will find its buyer and will win a certain niche in the auto market of the country. Among his fans there are already quite a few women. The audience on which this car is aimed, consists mainly of young and reasonably wealthy people, for whom the image plays an important role in choosing a vehicle.
