Introduction

The construction materials were renewed, providing passive safety of car. In addition, in the construction of basket front and back areas the deformations are foreseen, taking in energy of blow, double cross-beam of roof, front pillows of safety (before set by order). An external look carries on itself the imprint of the French charm. A car turned out to be interesting, original, likable and extraordinarily attractive. The designer command Peugeot was helped by the known Italian studio Pininfarina.

Design

The interior of salon is executed in a style that is the same as the basket. Such designer decision allowed creating an integral, self-possessed in single style car. Seats with a soft middle and hard laterals provide the reliable fixing of body, and at the same time allow you to feel comfort.

Regulation of driving arm-chair allows you to driver comfortably. By the way the regulation of inclination of steering wheel is also available. The device panel is done in enough banal style: two large scales of speedometer and clock and two little - pointers of level of fuel and temperature of cooling liquid. Testimonies of devices are read from the display.

Engine

The noise of the engine is not heard practically, on middle turns it works quietly and softly, without irritating vibrations. A loud and distinct sound arises up only on 4500 turns in minute and aerodynamic noises -- after 140 km/h. It does not glitter at the dynamics of 306th, but both motors -- and 1.4 and 1.6 -- possess quite good traction and very elastic: there are more than their enough possibilities for a ride in normal style. They are well concerted with gear box, a transmission is enough long, to decrease frequency of manipulations a lever, and at the same time allow fluently, but confidently to draw out it from "bottoms".

Electro-mirrors, heating of seats and sensor, are for a separate pay set raining.

Small diameter a helm with a thick rim is comfortable and has vertical regulation; however seats are covered dense with velour and have good antifriction properties, the presence of vertical regulation allows to pick up the most optimum position. Aspheric lateral mirrors provide wide review, practically without dead areas, but it is necessary to get used to their special dot shape. In respect to management, pedals are located superfluously grouped.
