More than once or twice, we have not bothered to maintain the pace of the parallel course of the "kings of motorways" – the prestigious BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar models. Cars of other brands that do not belong to this cohort could not compete with us. However, the Avantime is much more influenced than other cars by the wind: if there is no wind or it is passing, at 200 km / h in the cabin you can communicate in a whisper. And if there is a strong oncoming wind, then aerodynamic noise in the cabin is already noticeable at 150 km/ h, and a strong crosswind causes some windage, which is not surprising with such a body area. But in any case, this impact on the Avantime is still incomparably less than on all classic minivans with similar dimensions.

Several unpleasant moments were caused by the roads of Spain, where there are many turns with unacceptably high steepness on high-speed mountain highways. It was here that our rivals on their squat "Anglo-Saxons" gained a complete advantage due to the low location of the center of gravity of their cars. No, of course, Avantime does not lose its excellent exchange rate stability. But the laws of physics are inexorable, and at a speed of 220 km/ h, the massive tall body begins to tilt and sway with displeasure when abruptly changing course. Having gained the courage, you can continue moving at the same pace, but it's already becoming unpleasant, because you can feel in your gut how "a lanky Frenchman" is not happy overcoming centrifugal acceleration at "maximum". We have to slow down to 180 km/h, and everything goes back to normal. However, "jaguars" and "bimmers" are already disappearing from sight. Avantime gave us another surprise: the usually voracious French V6 showed even less appetite in our ultra–fast driving mode than when operating on the much lower and streamlined Peugeot 607 or Renault Laguna - 20-24 liters per 100 km. For an overgrown giant flying at 220 km/h, it's very good, but with an 80-liter tank it guarantees acceptable autonomy...

It takes skill and courage to pilot the Avantime on narrow, winding tracks, while "racing" on a heavy, bulky, but powerful "sports coupe minivan" can leave an interesting impression unlike anything else. Of course, the high location of the center of gravity provokes much greater inclinations than in sports sedans.". But this only adds to the impression, as well as the efforts that are required for a long and tall car to pass narrow, dashing turns along an optimal trajectory. 1win offers online sports betting, casino games and poker to players in many countries.
