SALON "Fiat Multipla" seems a logical continuation of a non-trivial, one might even say, avant-garde exterior kompaktvena. First, in the front row - not two, but three full-fledged individual seats. A rare, almost anywhere is no longer found in today's automotive solution (the American "land dreadnought" to complete their triple sofas does not count). Secondly, the type of front panel, which is fit to stand as an exhibit in the museum of modern art, at first just osharashivaet. Its design reflected all the tumult of designer's imagination, although there is no ergonomics claims. For example, in the center pane, and deployed in the driver's side face a giant speedometer as it relies on the control unit with climate control. Right posted ventilation unit deflection unit, reminiscent of lattice knight helmet visor. Lever manual torpedo attached to the ledge, closer to the steering wheel, and it is quite logical: floor layout selector transmission would prevent the average passenger. For the same reasons, the parking brake handle was placed on the left of the driver's seat. All six individual seats, as in "French", with individual adjustment of the longitudinal direction and angle of the back. This medium-back seats recline forward, forming a comfortable tables, trays, each with two holders. All seats except the driver's can be individually removed and the rear - lay close to the front. It should be noted that due to nearly vertical side panels of the body and the sole vehicle of the class width (for this indicator - 187 cm - significantly ahead of the rest of the car models in our review) for both rows of seats "Fiat Multipla" quite spacious. Moreover, even in heavy rain water from the roof of a window ajar in the parking lot almost no hits. A large, vertically located Fifth glass door provides excellent visibility for the driver rear-view mirror. |

COMPLECTATION "Fiat Multipla" has two basic levels of equipment. The base SX version includes ABS, front and side airbags, front servo windows and heated side mirrors. A more extensive version of ELX is additionally equipped with rear electric, on-board computer (since 2000), "protivotu-Manco, audio system, headlamp washers and air conditioners. Gearbox - only a five-manual, a "machine" to "Multipla" is not compromised, even for extra charge.

But when buying a used kompaktvena likely to receive a copy of 1.6-liter engine "Bipower", capable of working both petrol and compressed gas. Note: others are versions with the same 95-strong motor "Bluepower", which can only run on gas.

On the fly "Fiat Multipla" - the most stringent vehicle in our three rivals. However, the aggregate performance of dynamic, fast and adequate response to the actions of the wheel (and hence - to the delight of driving), this kompaktven can also recognize the most venturesome and accurate in the management of the review. However, for the abolition of the quality of accounts to pay the way of comfort. "Fiat Multipla" endowed with steadfast suspension-travel for small and medium-sized roughness is accompanied by a hefty body shudder. Affect large unsprung mass of the chassis. The scheme corresponds to the vehicle chassis fully independent suspension. She is adopted from the "Fiat Brava" and "Marea" (front desk McPherson, Rear - Multi-), but some of the effort and changed in size, taking into account the increased Curb weight machines, as compared with the original model.
