Peugeot with excellent quality and stability

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

That the latest addition to the range of whelps a car neordinaren special and memorable design, it is clear from first sight. To reinforce this effect deliberately sought by the company selected for the index model designation RCZ, which is the only rent a car in Bulgaria with range of Peugeot, whose name no number one or two zeros in the middle.

Indeed RCZ is built on the platform PSA2 - that on which the model was built and 308. The vision of the compact sports, however, is far more impressive. The model is now available on the Bulgarian market with two petrol and one diesel engine modifications. Test to make our team was the diesel version RCZ 2.0 HDI. Here are our impressions.

Exterior
Already mentioned, but the pictures show that the design is stylish and avant-garde. During the test very eyes of passers-by stopped on the car. Clearly, with its vision RCZ definitely attracts attention.

The most interesting fact is the rear of the car - heavily padded wings, spectacular pseudo-diffuser and chrome exhausts sizable - these are just some of the interesting and innovative elements there. Detail, which should be given special attention is retractable spoiler type. It opens automatically at speeds above 70 km / h but can be removed through a button located in the horizontal part of the center console.

One more thing, very impressive vision of the RCZ, is its lateral line. The profile of the car is very aerodynamic, and through the undulating ceiling and glass rear ends while the stylish and unusual heart. Corporate identity RCZ hand is clearly visible from the front. There is also no lack of aggression, but many elements reminiscent models 207 and 308. Overall, the vision can be described as stylish and sporty.

Interior
Unlike the budget models of the mark in the RCZ interior is neat to near perfection. Quality leather seats and even the dashboard is a spectacular garnish with aluminum parts (part of the steering wheel, gear knob, pedals and internal thresholds). This combination and stylish sport-oriented instrument panel to give a sense of luxury and sport.

The front two seats are characterized by strong lateral support, are not large but comfortable and ergonomic. Feet of space for driver and passenger to him more than enough. Not the way things back.

Principle is RCZ coupe with seating for 2 +2 scheme, but the rear looks like a cushioned bowl.

Rear legroom is sufficient for children in preschool, but enough comfort for short distances in the city.

However, baggage is not no small car of similar nature, as it is also functional and practical. Has a large horizontal aperture and severable rear seat in case they need to increase its volume.

In summary we can say that the interior space is primarily designed for two people, while luxury is comfort. Quality of materials is excellent, and assembly is close to a very good definition.

Engine performance and running
As already demonstrated, tested our car was equipped with two-liter diesel engine with 163 hp power This engine offers more than excellent dynamics, but to the appearance of the car, our initial expectations were higher. However, it is extremely economical. Coming steering is precise and direct, like those in alternative sports coupes such as Audi TT.

Most impressive car makes no highway, and mountain roads with many turns. That is where I see the power of the low center of gravity, which along with the suspension resulted in a unique stability. A real pleasure to run RCZ road with sharp turns. The slope will nikavo important because very high torque diesel is doing just perfect.

Active and passive safety systems are without any type of remark. The brakes are very good and served in buffet ESP is almost impossible.
In summary, we say that the behavior of road vehicles exceeded our expectations.

Price
There are cheaper and more powerful alternatives, but they do not have the stylish design and impressive figure of the RCZ. Furthermore, it should not be overlooked economical diesel engine. The price of RCZ is positioned somewhere in the Golden Mean, but with regard to feeling comfortable and feeling compact French athlete does not give even the incumbent Audi TT.

Officials in the resort Golden Sands should benefit schedules, often enough, not to come to work with their cars.
This comment yesterday on the occasion of congestion in Golden Sands procurator of Parkstroy Golden Sands Sevastiyanov Stelian, who is also the municipal council of DSB. According to him, if such a practice, the complex will have no lack of parking. To solve the problem, management of resort for years using “spider”.

They were mostly related to parking in the lanes designated for one-way.

Many of the visitors complex now complain on newly organization of movement. So unable to pass from one end to another and back without leaving the resort. According to the Wizard of DSB complex scheme because of the way in which it was conceived, there is no way to be comfortable and to fit within its territory.

Transport plan of Golden Sands is approximately the same as originally adopted 6 years ago “Just a little update,” said the procurator. Sevastiyanov explained that any transport scheme has a duration of 5 years then it should be updated and re-approved.

Unlike the Golden Sands, Varna will transport scheme in recent years local leaders have missed it updated. Therefore, currently available in the town plan is invalid. Even before two years of city administration talked about the development of new transport mastarplan funded by the local treasury. Shortly thereafter, however, it became clear that instead of public resources for this purpose can be used evropari.

The Balkan Mountain - the longest mountain in Bulgaria

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

The Stara Planina Mountains are the third highest, but the longest mountain range in Bulgaria, stretching from the River Timok to the west to Cape Emine to the east. The range divides the country into two roughly equal parts: Northern and Southern Bulgaria.

     The mountains have had a number of names- Haemus, Matorni Gori, Balkan. After the Turks had invited the peninsula, they called the range “Balkan”, meaning “a wooded mountain range”. This name was later adopted by the geographical literature of the West and the whole peninsula became known as the Balkan Peninsula. The Bulgarians called the range Stara Planina, which means “old mountains”. To the south the mountainside slopes steeply and quite impressively to the valleys, whereas the northern flanks slope down more gently.

    The Balkan Mountains are divided into three sections: the Western, Central and eastern Balkan. The highest peak is Mount Botev-2 376 m high is

 in the Central part. The main range is between the Pre-Balkan- densely wooded heights to the north, and the Sub-Balkan valleys to the south, nestling at the foot of the high-rising mountains. It is a natural climatic barrier which prevents the cold winds from the north from penetrating South Bulgaria, thus making its climate milder. The range is rich in deciduous forests, mainly of oak and beech. Natural coniferous are rare, but not unlikely to come across. The mountains are the habitat of deer, hares, bears, wild goats, etc. They contain deposit of coal, iron and copper. There are also a number of quarries, producing marble, limestone and sandstone.

      The scenery of   the Balkan Mountains is remarkably beautiful and it is a perfect hiking territory. There is a number of nature reserves like Boatin, Tsarichina, Steneto, declared such both for their scenic attractions and to preserve their flora and fauna.

      The Mountains have been inhabited since ancient times. Thracians, Slavs and Bulgarians took refuge in their densely wooded hills when threatened by enemies. The mountains gave shelter to the Bulgarian “haidouti’- those brave men and women who took up arms against the oppressors during the Ottoman rule. The Russian troops and the Bulgarian volunteers defended their passes and peaks during the Russo-Turkish War in 1877-1978.

      Traveling near the town of Sliven you can see the Blue Rocks-a spot of breathtaking mountain scenery. The famous Shipka Pass, connected with the glorious battles during the Russo-Turkish War, is one of the most important historical places in Bulgaria. Veliko Turnovo, once a medieval walled city and capital of Bulgaria (1185-1393), has a magnificent setting- perched high among the steep cliffs of the Yantra gorge. Lovech and Troyan as well as the Troyan Monastery are also worth visiting.

      Driving westwards from the town of Bourgas to the Bulgarian capital Sofia via the Sub-Balkan valleys you can not help feeling fascinated by the beauty of the scenery along somewhat narrow and winding road. A number of small towns like Kalofer, Karlovo, Sopot, connected with the struggles of the Bulgarians against the Ottoman oppressors that have preserved the charm of the Bulgarian  National Revival architecture, are picturesquely situated along the road. A Thracian tomb near the town of Kazanlak with unique wall paintings has been miraculously preserved here. The famous Valley of Roses is very beautiful and you can have a look at it during your driving rent a car in Bulgaria.
