Today experienced a friend's Lincoln adventurer, share the driving experience, friends this is 21 models of 2.0T two-wheel drive Zun Ya version.
The wave box should be the most questionable, let's talk about this first. Many people have described this wave box low speed setback as very serious, and the adventurer of friends has passed ten thousand kilometers and is not so powerful. AT transmission 2→ 3, 3→4 can not be without big moves, even artez's 6AT (in this regard BMW ZF 8 gear is really powerful, f35 start-up stage, 2→3 obvious shift, but it is very comfortable, the power comes very smoothly, after 3 gears a smooth ride).
Adventurer this low-speed gear shift impact, can be controlled by footwork, I feel that he is the same as Mazda, there is also a learning function (personal feelings), after a long period of driving, this setback is obviously controlled, the more obvious scene is uphill with the car to send oil, that downshift is indeed a very obvious big setback, passengers can feel it. Other times, as long as it's not particularly deliberate, there's no need to pay attention to him.
Brakes, AEB active braking warning time and braking effect is very good, but the driver's brakes have to be increased in advance. This foot feel has similarities with Mazda Artez, the front section is relatively empty, the sliding brake should be stepped on in advance, and the second half has forced power, and it is easy to step on the ESP. Ford and Mazda have been separated for so long and still have the same orientation in tuning.
Suspension performance, sporty bottom, comfort tuning, with 225 soft tires, the overall is more comfortable, but the over-bend roll inhibition is good, Ford Europe's bottom is here, the initial section is slower, the confidence of opening the bend is there.
Steering, with the speed with the angle gain, back to the positive torque can be, I think a little lighter, I like him to add a little more force when he returns to the right. The lap count is also not high. Today I feel the open movement mode on the highway, the feeling has become heavy, I don't know if it is a psychological effect. Tuning orientation, typical of apparent understeering, pushing the head. Large angle bend into the corner always want to hit the outside a little, the U-turn radius is not small, this is really different from Artez, that car corner does not need to be adjusted.
Automatic parking, this to say, the automatic parking of this car is like a small battery that automatically starts and stops, there is a progress bar for you, the time is long, the progress is over, he begins to shake, and this is like charging, and then open a few intersections to stop and good (fully charged), after a period of time and start again. So in my experience, 30 seconds up to the red light, just stop on the line, more than a minute, better to change N gears.
Fuel consumption performance, the apparent fuel consumption of the table is 9.7-9.8, the bear fuel consumption is 10.8, basically about 1 on the table. 85%-90% are cities, others are high-speed.
