XXL or 14 for two

Honda Pilot and Hyundai ix55 - both seven-seater, and only two for the road, though, and look different. We understand their similar characteristics and different characters. Full-size seven-seat crossover, for you do not want to pay, as a full-size SUV - it's a good opportunity to rise to the "second floor" road of life without excessive spending when there is a conscious desire to give up too much in strength and permeability. What to choose: Honda Pilot or Hyundai ix55? Honda motorcycles were PilotSnachala, then racing, then "Formula 1": among other things, already in the sixties, "Formula 1"! Then, in the eighties, VTEC for motorcycles, and in the early 90s - and for cars, and Clarity hydrogen car today ... It is always an engineering elegance, wit and technological. In all things, whatsoever and wherever you touch the look: at least for highly reliable machines for the British grannies, even for ultra-fast NSX for cool kids, at least for a Type R for all sorts of kids easier, at least for a lawn mower for gardeners. This is a Honda. The company, a leading engineering ideology where the line is close to the principles of Porsche, joined with incomprehensible to Europeans the Japanese. A Pilot - a very different Honda.Eta "Honda" of America and to America. And there is very little in common with every other "Honda", except for efficiency. Again - in America. There are seven seats, and all of them well-suited not only to count them, but to use them. It is hefty, and it is not one of those cars that looks like a car with great ground clearance, which are created for something other than American roads. Not bad, branched, as a network, straight as an arrow, and loaded as konveyer.Bolshoy car is not bad there is a driver: easy to handle and gives a precise idea of ??their dimensions in the parking lot. As roomy car urban transportation destinations Pilot will not cause any complaints. Inside a large supply of space, lots of compartments for small items and a very unpretentious finish. In the Pilot and techniques are simple: a simple five-speed automatic transmission, a simple suspension ... No frills work builders, designers, testers and tuners. It is a product. Product for the money. In Russia, not so small, as in America, but not insane. On the electrified rear door and without the protection of the engine and the bottom. Without xenon light as standard, but with a third row of seats. It is an efficient urban transport in hondovski reliable, and simple American-style. Hyundai ix55Hyundai is on the rise. High-quality machines in its range are not only the i - 20 and 30, but a complex, expensive and premium Genesis. Good quality does not even against the Japanese. Quality cars is also ix55, if blink and do not pay attention to his controversial and questionable design proportions. By the same technique the comparison with Honda for more than justified. On the other Honda. If we are talking about the Pilot, a technique Hyundai, used in the ix55, it seems more modern. And yet surely not so reliable. In our ix during the test has failed electrical adjustment of the steering column. However, the three-year warranty - that's not enough, and five years on the motor and transmission - and even more so, it seems, the company trusts their quality and ready for a tougher and more otvetit.Hyundai sportier on the road. It reminds quality cars. Manage it nicely. The engine and six-speed gearbox work well together and can be much larger than the corresponding tandem at Honda, dispersing ix55 "hundreds" and a half seconds faster thanks to an improved powertrain (engine indicators are very close, and even a bit heavier than Hyundai). On asphalt ix55 - monoprivodny car, rear-wheel drive is only connected to the slippery conditions or when forced activation of the driver (at 40 km / h). And this is not the same machine on which you want to hurry to move from the asphalt: no protection against damage to units not equipped at all. But in a city controlled by ix55 perfectly - to the best asphalt crossovers of our day: behold, Kia Sorento, for example. And much wins in our comparison control. Hyundai is a little more maneuverable: a smaller turning radius. Brake And more precisely, and the buildup of a body, by the standards of my classmates, almost none. Banks are present, but at the arc of the machine is reliable even at the limit of tire grip. In all he set up a European-style than the American way. Of course, in it, and felt more uneven roads, but the overall comfort level of not losing, as more assertive after the car less chatter bumps, and unsprung mass when driving single asperities behave much calmer than in Honda.Vnutri ix55 trimmed much more modern and more expensive, but it and closer than in the Honda. Inside, the same size for all sorts of little things, but more ergonomic driver's seat: this car is, in general, fit a more active drivers. RezyumeHonda - choice in all senses of well-balanced, which will be right for those who rarely dispersed more than a hundred and draws attention to features of the car to a greater extent in the purchase, at a gas station and service, than when he is driving. Honda spacey opponent and less well equipped and can be considered third-row seat as an opportunity for permanent use, not only as a backup "service conveying." However, if the temperament of its owner's potential is far from the Nordic and makes him able to distinguish from Ferrari Pagani, Honda will be upset rolls, instability during braking and unwillingness to change course quickly. ix55 expensive and takes more fuel and less respect for the Hyundai brand. However, it is faster, its interior is much costlier ergonomics logical driver's seat, and the design more modern. Transmission is working as is the custom in 2010, and corresponds exactly to the notion of controllability "crossover" with all the advantages of it in the city, and not the "SUV" with all befitting his problems at high speed.
