1.5Lターボ+MTのFFコンパクトスポーツ車からの乗換えです。
その前は、レガシィなど4WDスポーツ車を乗っていました。
2014/10 の納車からひと冬越え、感想もすこし変わりましたので、レビュー内容を更新しました。(2015/5/14)
【車高】
FFよりも腰高で、ずんぐりむっくり。
タイヤとフェンダーの隙間が目立ちます。
現在市販されているGP6用のローダウンサスもさほど車高が下がらないようです。
Before that, I have driven 4WD sport type of car, such as Legacy.
The delivery was October, 2014. After the Winter, my impression is slightly changed, so I have updated my review (2015/5/14)
[Car height]
Higher than FF cars. Somewhat short fat.
The space between the tire and the fender is so wide that it is outstanding.
Low down suspension for GP6 which is currently sold in the market seems not to be helpful in lowering the car height.
I changed the car from FF compact sports 5Lturbo +MT car.
I used to drive a 4WD sports like LEGACY.
One winter has passed since the delivery of vehicle in Oct. 2014 and my feeling has changed a bit, so I updated the contents of the review. (2015/5/14)
[vehicle height]
Higher than FF ropy-poly, wide and obvious rooms between the tire and the fender.
The Lowdown for GP6 now on sale has higher vehicle hight than I expected either.
ローダウンするなら、ノーマルFFと同等の車高では満足できないでしょう。
車高の高さは、冬期間の走破性能のアドバンテージとして諦めます
【燃費】
平日(週5日)朝晩の通勤(平たん路、往復30km)と週末のドライブ(50~100km程度)の使用で、
現在(社外軽量ホイール&純正タイヤ(185/60-15))は21km/l前後、
冬期間(純正ホイール&ブリザックVRX(185/60-15))で16km/l前後。
期待したほど、燃費が良くありません。
I gave up the fact that car height is too high. I understand it is rather an advantage enabling high driving performance during the winter.
[Fuel Efficiency]
Business days(5 days) commuting in the morning and in the evening(flat load, 30Km), and weekend drive (50 - 100Km),
Currently (third party light wheel and genuine normal tire (185/60-15) is, around 21 Km/L.
During the winter (Genuine wheel and Brizak VRX (185/60-15) is, about 16 Km/L.
Not as good as expected.
The hight of vehicle is not important for me as driving quality takes advantage at the winter time.
[Fuel Efficiency]
After using the car from Mon to Fri (5days a week) every morning and evening to work (flat road 30km go and return)and on weekends drinving (50-100km around) now 21km/l around with ( lightweight wheel of other company & genuine tire 185/60-15) at the winter time 16km/l around with (genuine wheel & BLIZZAK VRS 185-60-15)
The fuel efficiency is not good as I expected.
e燃費などを見ると、私は平均値のようですが、もっと高い燃費を叩きだしている方もいるので、私の乗り方が悪いのかもしれません。
【高速走行】
高速道路を巡航する場合はノーマルモードが燃費が良いと思いますが、
低速のトラックの追い越しなど、加減速をする場合はSモードで走った方が燃費が良くなるようです。
【価格】
多少割高感はありますが「4WD+ハイブリッド」で考えたら、FITは現状一番オトクな選択だと思います。
【その他】
[Driving on the freeway]
Normal mode I think would result good fuel efficiency to drive on the freeway, but S model appears to be better when passing low-speed trucks.
[Price]
The price might appear slightly expensive, but considering "4WD + Hybrid", FIT I think is the most reasonable choice at the current state.
[Others]
[High Speed Driving]
When you drive on the high way the normal mode is good for the fuel efficiency, but when you gets more speed and down getting ahead of slow tracks, S mode driving is good for the fuel efficiency.
[Price]
It might be rather expensive though , FIT is the most reasonable option you could take now among 4WD plus hybrid.
標準のフラットワイパーは、冬期間ガラスに付着した雪をかくほどの強度は無く拭き残しが多発したため、素直にPIAAの冬用ワイパーに交換しました。
4WDなので標準でコンフォートビューパッケージが装着されています。
フロントワイパー部分のヒーターは冬期間大活躍しますが、フロントウィンドウ両端の段差が大きいので、雪が溜まりやすいのが難点。
As it is 4WD, it has the comfort view package as a standard equipment.
The heater of the front wiper works in winter a lot, but sorry to say that the snow gets into easily to the both edges of the front window because of the unevenness.
As it is a 4WD, the comfort view package comes as a standard item.
During the winter season, the heater at the front wipers does a great job, but the problem is its design to let the snow accumulated because of the major gap between the both edges of the wipers at the front window.
フロントフェンダー内からサドステップ下にかけて走行中の雪が付着しやすいようで、マメに蹴り落としてあげる必要があります(Sパッケージだからでしょうか?)
また、ドアミラーと三角窓の間に溜まった雪は、しっかり取り除かないと、ドアを開けた時にその部分の雪が もれなく全部室内に落ちてきます。
【総評】
前車含め、これまでMT車ばかり乗ってきましたので、DCTには魅力を感じています。
しかし、残念ながらMT車のような「意のままに操る」感覚はありません。
[General Comments]
DCT is so fascinating because I have been driving MT including the previous car.
However, sorry to say that there is no feeling of “control” like in MT car.
Also, unless you neatly remove the snow piled-up between a door-mirror and triangle window, all the snow falls off inside a car when you open a door.
"General Comments"
I am attracted to DCT, as I have driven mostly MT cars, including the previous one.
However, unfortunately I do not feel any sense of "manipulation at will" like MT cars.
言うことを聞かないことが多々あります。
それでも、自分の雑な運転をカバーしてくれる感は高く、その点は満足しています。
ヴェゼルHV(AWD)と迷いましたが、楽しく走れることが重要でしたので、車重の軽いFIT-HVにしました。
そのFIT-HVでも走りに満足してませんので、ヴェゼルを買っていたらもっと不満に感じたと思います。
4WD性能については、雪道でのアドバンテージを感じますが、フルタイム4WD車と比べると走破性能はだいぶ劣ります。
However, I feel it compensate for my careless drive very much, I am satisfied with the point.
Although I could not make up my mind whether to buy VEZEL HV (AWD) because driving happily is important for me, I did not hesitate to choose FIT-HV of the light body weight.
But I am not satisfied with the FIT-HV's running too, so I might feel more dissatisfied with VEZEL if I bought.
I feel advantage on the snowy road about the 4WD's performance, but the entire driving performance is rather inferior to the full time 4WD.
Also It helps a lot with my bad driving, so I appreciate it so much.
VEZEL HV (AWD) was another option and I chosed FIT-HV for it was lighter because fun driving was more important to me.
As FIT-HV is not good enough to drive for me though, VEZEL would be more unsatisfied.
As for the 4DW performance , it could take advantage on the winter road, still it has less run-through performance than full-time 4WD car.
また、VSAの介入で凍結した交差点などでは全く加速しない場面もあり、運転には十分に注意が必要です(FFも同様でしょう)
ひと呼吸おいてスタートするぐらいの余裕が必要なクルマです。
