Driving in a hurry

From ordinary Sid wagon adopted and driving manners. And this is good news, because the chassis is set up perfectly! A light steering wheel with clean feedback and a logical increase in effort, a good ride and excellent sound insulation – all this has already managed to please the hatchback. The top version is equipped with a 140-horsepower 1.4 T-GDI turbo engine, which works in conjunction with a robot with a pair of clutches 7DCT, but I would prefer the power unit from Cerato: a 2-liter naturally aspirated with a 6-speed hydromechanical automatic provides better traction control. The work of Sid’s “turbo-preselective” is diluted with pauses that bring discord into the process: acceleration does not always come on time.

Ceed with a 1.4 T-GDI turbo engine can officially be ex

Ceed with a 1.4 T-GDI turbo engine can officially be operated on 92-octane gasoline, but we would not recommend pouring fuel with an octane rating below 95 into the tank of such a car.

The 1.6 MPI petrol engine is the best choice for Sid.

In this sense, a more affordable 1.6 engine MPIwith a capacity of 128 forces seems to be a more correct solution, and buyers think so, judging by other modifications: turbo is the choice of the elite. In addition, such a motor with a gun will be cheaper than eighty thousand that way – at least, this is exactly the difference between the hatchback’s power units.

The interior design completely repeats that of the hatchback (and slightly different from the Cerato sedan).The interior design completely repeats that of the hatchback (and slightly different from the Cerato sedan).

The devices are extremely concise in design and therefore perfectly readable.

To get all kinds of heating, you do not have to

To get all kinds of heating, you don’t have to spend money on the most expensive configurations: a significant part of the “warm options” is already available from the second Comfort configuration.
