Author - Gaga User: One punch overtaking
In the 13 years or so when the A-Class market competition was not so fierce, Fox also achieved the peak record of the first car sales list for many consecutive months, and then the A-Class car competition became more and more fierce, and Fox's life became not so good, of course, the sales were not too bad. Starting from 19 new generation Fox, I don't know which genius came up with the whole series of three-cylinders, so that this car instantly becomes a car that no one considers buying, although the jitter of this engine is actually no different from the normal four-cylinder, but consumers just don't recognize the three-cylinder, think about it at the same price, I will not buy a three-cylinder car. As Fox sales got worse and worse, Ford finally remembered to switch back to a four-cylinder engine accepted by mainstream consumers, because I had tested the three-cylinder Fox for too long last time, and basically forgot the feeling of the three-cylinder Fox, so this article does not compare with the three-cylinder Fox, only evaluates the 2022 four-cylinder Fox that I test drove today.
This generation of hatchback Fox st line I have always felt that the appearance is huge, the appearance of the 22 models has a little change, I think it is still very good-looking, sedan I personally think the giant ugly is too lazy to look at more than a few eyes.
The interior design is not a highlight, the car machine is not very easy to use, and it does not matter for me as a practical party.
The steering wheel is adjusted very widely, and it can be easily adjusted to the right position, but the design of the disc width is not very good, and it is not very comfortable to hold. The seat cushion is a little short, but the support is still enough, the backrest angle waist support headrest position is more reasonable, the seat material is soft and hard, can take into account the sense of wrapping and comfort, can be regarded as a more comfortable seat.
The back row experience is very, very poor, the leg space is huge, the cushion is not long enough, fortunately, there is still a little sense of support in the thighs, the backrest angle is very steep so that people can only sit more upright, but the head space is very small, like I have to nod my head low to sit normally.
The size of the trunk space is just acceptable.
The biggest difference between the 22 Foxes is that it is replaced by a new 1.5t four-cylinder engine plus a 6at powertrain, which actually gives me a very general experience. The gearbox can ensure basic ride and shift logic, but when driving intensely, you often think about life, and the floor oil basically thinks about a second or more before dropping a gear and then thinking about more than a second before it will drop to the lowest gear allowed by the speed. The actual power feeling of this engine claiming to be 177 horsepower is not good, and the physical sensation is a level of 100 km/h acceleration of more than 9 seconds.
Steering damping, whether it is low speed or high speed, gives me a feeling of not light or heavy, that is, it is difficult to have an impression of its steering, mainly because the steering sensitivity is too impressive, and the steering of this car is too sensitive! Even has felt that the sensitivity is too much, the body movement will feel much larger than the actual steering action, larger than their expectations, although the steering is very sensitive will give people a very sporty feeling, but the steering of this car gives me the feeling of too much thief, not natural at all.
Chassis filter shock is very crisp, the size of the bump can be filtered very crisply, very in line with this price point sports car should have the filter shock feeling simply do not drag mud with water, but the sense of high-grade is not very prominent, and the Civic ratio is still a little worse. The suspension support is great, the driving roll is relatively small, and the handling limit is relatively high (the 235-40-18 ps4 tire adds a bonus). Extreme tolerance is also relatively high, ultra-fast cornering can feel that the car is slowly out of control and about to lose control when the body posture will not be very struggling, do not need good technology to save the car, with the sensitive over-the-head steering Fox in the continuous lane change is still very fun (provided that you do not need to accelerate suddenly).
The brake foot feel is a relatively normal feeling, and the light stop light stop heavy stop braking force is also enough. Tire noise and wind noise are relatively well suppressed considering the price, of course, there is no feeling of leapfrogging.
The problem with Fox's mechanical quality is not only that the gearbox is too slow, but also that the steering is uncomfortable and unnatural when driving every day, even if you don't care about steering the gearbox, it is unacceptable, no one buys a sports car will not care about their own car gearbox so slow, so even if the driving is not so delicate, Fox's gearbox is also very unqualified.
Therefore, Fox's sports are not thorough enough to perform so poorly in the current joint venture A-class car market is absolutely no market, and some cars can be sporty and home-use, not necessarily selling well, so foxes are not selling well is not more reasonable.
