MG ZR (2001 TO 2005)镁锆(2001年至2005年)
The MG ZR is a car that should never have worked quite as well as it has.锆是镁的汽车,千万却适得其反以及它. Logic would dictate that a sporty car based on the Rover 25 would be off to a tough start in life, but MG?s engineers excelled themselves.逻辑支配的轻便车将基于罗孚25将开始起飞强硬人生但是毫克?收盘工程师缘何自己. In turning the modest 25 into the hooligan ZR and pricing it at a level that was accessible to many, the ZR has done good business for the revitalised MG Rover.在谈到25到阿飞温和锆和定价水平,这是一个机会很多,锆的生意做得很好,为复兴路毫克. With a huge range of models and used examples now beginning to filter onto the used market, the ZR is well worth further investigation.同形形色色的型号和使用上的例子,现在开始过滤用市场锆仍值得进一步的调查.
HISTORY历史
The MG ZR is a vehicle very much created from the wreckage that was BMW?s stewardship of Rover.锆镁是一种非常汽车制造,从飞机残骸被宝马?收盘孚主持. With such a difficult parentage, it would perhaps have been understandable if the ZR proved a duffer.这种困难的父母,也许我们可以理解,如果被证明是一种锆duffer. It?s no secret that the development budget for the car was almost non-existent, the Phoenix Consortium, as MG Rover?s rescuers were then dubbed, having to get the maximum bang for their buck.?收盘秘密开发预算为车几乎不存在,凤凰财团由于镁孚?救援人员当时称为收盘,帮他们争取最高推诿.
They did a good job.那样好. The range consists of three and five door versions of the 101bhp ZR105, the 115bhp 1.8-litre ZR120, the 158bhp ZR160 and the 99bhp ZR2.0TD turbo diesel.射程分为三、五门版本的101bhpzr105,115bhp1.8公升zr120,zr160的158bhp99bhpzr2.0td和涡轮柴油. A Stepspeed push-button CVT transmission was latterly made available on the ZR120.一stepspeed电钮无级变速传动是从前的zr120调阅. Trim levels comprised a choice of standard or ?+?修剪层次包括选择标准或?+? specification and a range of lurid paint schemes were instantly popular.各种油漆规格和沮丧瞬间计划受欢迎. A signal coloured ?up yours?信号颜色?你起来? to BMW was one interpretation of the in-your-face ZR.宝马的解释是为了在你面前锆.
In the summer of 2004, a heavily facelifted model was launched.2004年夏天,一个重facelifted模式拉开战幕. There were minor tweaks to suspension and brakes but the alterations were mainly cosmetic.有轻微tweaks暂停和刹车而改建化妆品为主. The headlamps changed to sculpted BMW-style clear-lensed units covering twin lamps rather than the separate pods the original ZR sported.宝马的大灯改为琢磨式清晰透镜单位面积灯具双胞胎而非单独荚原锆花花公子. The rear end was made more distinctive with the number plate position moved downwards to allow for a bootlid with a bold MG badge on the centre line.发完后面的车牌更鲜明立场提出了允许向下一个大胆bootlid毫克徽章的中线. Inside, a series of improvements were made including four Audi TT style round vents on the dash.内,包括了一系列改进了四个回合通风口奥迪特风格的冲刺.
At the start of 2005, MG Rover introduced the Trophy and Trophy SE models which ran concurrently with the existing range but rendered those models virtually redundant.在开始于2005年毫克孚介绍奖杯和奖牌硒与现有型号的范围,但同期这些模式几乎变得多余. The Trophy derivatives offered more equipment for less money and even borrowed some of the sporty styling accessories that had been reserved for the ZR 160 model.开办衍生更多的奖牌设备少部分的钱,甚至借潇洒造型配件,已预留了160个示范锆. Production ended with the demise of MG Rover in 2005.生产结束于2005年逝世毫克漫游.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The engineers at MG Rover have worked their magic under the skins of the cars to devastating effect.工程师在自己工作毫克孚魔术皮肤下的车破坏性影响. Aside from the aggressive spoilers and big alloys, most of the changes that truly transformed the ZR were made to the parts that most buyers would need a hydraulic ramp to see.除了破坏者和大侵略性合金大多数的变化,真正改变了锆买家最需要的地方,看到一个水工匝道. The car was lowered by 20mm and fitted with stiffer springs and meatier dampers.该车降低为20mm,并装有泉水的内容而使阻尼. Suspension bushes are made of rigid polyurethane instead of rubber to give more road feel and sharper reaction to the driver, who can now react to said changes more effectively thanks to a quicker and more accurate steering system.悬浮草丛而不是以硬质聚氨酯橡胶路给更多的感觉与反应激烈司机谁能说现在的变化反应更快更有效、更准确地感谢督导制度. Bigger brakes mean that you can now scrub off that excess speed in less time ?大刹车意味着你现在可以说超出限速擦洗过少呢? the mark of a serious sporting model.标志严重体育模式.
There?s only so far that the development budget would go, however, and it seems that the piggy bank was getting somewhat empty when it came to the ZR?s interior.?收盘为止,只有发展到预算,但看来,银行并获得驮来有点空当锆?内政部收盘. You?ll notice a revised instrument panel with white dials and some added brightwork on the fascia, but compared to something like a Seat Ibiza Cupra, it all looks a bit 1992.你?当地公告修改仪表板以白色和一些补充brightwork就先拨筋膜但比起像是席位伊维萨cupra,一切看起来有点1992. The pedals and gear stick feel beautiful, the gearchange action having been reworked for a more positive feel, but something feels wrong with the driving position.脚踏齿轮、美丽的感觉棒,gearchange整治行动已经感受到了更为积极、而是觉得不妥主动地位. Instead of hunkering down into the car, you feel as if you are perched aloft, with the base of that steering wheel brushing your thighs.不是hunkering降入车内,你觉得如果你看到它升空,随着基地,方向盘除去大腿. Adjusting the seat and the wheel has little effect, and the culprit is a structural cross member located under the seat.调整座位、车轮影响不大,而罪魁祸首是结构性成员交叉设在座位下. You?ll get used to it, but it?s not ideal.你?当地习惯,但它?收盘并不理想.
Of all the MG models, the ZR seems to wield its spoilers, bibs and skirts with most aggression.所有型号毫克,锆似乎跳出破坏者、领巾、裙子大多侵略. The Rover 25GTi was always a quietly handsome piece of work, and the ZR takes this understated elegance and transforms it into LOOK AT ME exuberance, especially if you opt for a yellow one.罗孚25gti一直默默地英俊作品,锆及借此低估优雅变换成看我风情,尤其是如果你选择了黄色. Opt for the range-topping ZR 160 model and the seventeen-inch wheels fill the arches superbly, tiny foglights peer out like bullet holes, and the roof spoiler juts back in a Gaussian arc.选择范围-锆突破160模型和17英寸车轮填补拱门华美小小的雾灯同伴出像弹孔、屋顶破坏者,西非回来高斯弧. Some may find it slightly OTT, but this is a GTi from the old school, a no-flannel fun car that puts a smile on your face every time you wriggle beneath the wheel.有些人觉得稍微91.80%,但这是从旧GTI学院校无绒布趣车才是你的微笑面对每一次你蜷车轮底下.
At this juncture, we should explain the ZR range fully, as it?s rather complicated.此时此刻,我们应该充分说明各种锆像?收盘相当复杂. All models are available in three-door form, and for a premium, five-door guise is also available.所有型号可在3门形式、地价、五门幌子亦可. There are four engine choices, a 102bhp 1.4-litre (ZR105), a 115bhp 1.8-litre (ZR120), a 100bhp 2.0-litre turbo diesel (ZR Turbo Diesel) and that 158bhp 1.8-litre ZR160.有四个引擎的选择,102bhp1.4公升(zr105),一115bhp1.8公升(zr120)一100bhp2.0公升柴油涡轮(锆涡轮柴油)及158bhp1.8公升zr160. The ZR120 is available with MG Rover?s Stepspeed CVT gearbox, and all models bar the ZR160 are also available in ?+?zr120毫克的刊物与罗孚?收盘stepspeed无级变速变速箱,与所有型号的酒吧zr160也备有?+? guise which adds remote central locking, electric front windows, sunroof and mirrors, a seat height adjuster, leather steering wheel and alloy gearknob plus those mean front fog lights.衣时又锁紧环偏远、电动前窗、天窗、镜子、座身高调节,皮革方向盘、合金gearknob加上平均雾灯门前.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Used ZR models are starting to appear in meaningful numbers, the range-topping ZR160 being the most popular variant.用锆型号开始出现有意义号码,距离被突破zr160最受欢迎变种. This is perhaps due to the aggressive pricing, making a new ZR160 a good deal cheaper than a Renaultsport Clio or a Honda Civic Type-R.这可能是因为侵略性定价zr160很大作出新便宜得多renaultsportClio型或公民本田R型. Expect to pay around £8,000 for a well looked after 2001 Y plated ZR160 with around 37,000 miles on the clock.预计支付了大约8000英镑的照顾与2001肽Y镀zr16037000英里左右的时钟. ZR105 models start at around £6,200 whilst ZR120s open at £7,600, again on the 2001 Y plate.zr105型号6200英镑左右,而开始在公开zr120s7100英镑,2001年又对肽Y盘. Insurance valuations for the MG ZR range between Group 8 for the ZR TD and ZR 105 to Group 16 for the aggressive ZR160.保险估价为8毫克组之间的距离锆锆、锆运输署为1057716zr160侵略性.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The MG ZR, being largely based on proven Rover 25 mechanicals has yet to show any significant failings.镁锆,大都基于罗孚25机电证明没有表示出任何重大失误. Unlike the 25, the ownership profile of the ZR is a little younger and you should check that the car hasn?t been leathered to within an inch of its life around a racetrack.不像25、所有制结构的锆是有点年轻,你应该检查车独具特色?leathered笔来一直生活在它周围一寸赛场. That?s not to say the ZR can?t handle the occasional track day, but make sure the brakes, tyres, and suspension have all got plenty of ?oomph?.为何?收盘锆可以不说吗?笔办理暂轨道天,但令刹车,轮胎,暂时都有大量?oomph?. Check that the servicing work has been done, that there?s no accident damage and you should be able to land a decent car.检查维修工作已经完成,有?收盘无意外伤害和你应该能够找到一份象样的汽车.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx. based on ZR105) For most parts the prices are quite reasonable and worth the money.(约基于zr105)部份价格相当合理,物有所值. Expect to pay around £95 for a full clutch assembly, £485 for a full exhaust system (including the catalyst), around £80 for a headlamp and up to £115 for a radiator.预期支付95英镑左右全部装配离合器、排气系统全部为485英镑(包括催化剂)一英镑左右前照灯高达80115英镑的散热器. Brake pads should cost about £55 for the front and £50 for the rear, an alternator is around £175 and a starter motor around £140.刹车皮要耗资大约为55英镑,50英镑的前方后方,大约175英镑的发电机、起动马达140英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The MG ZR range serves up surprises aplenty.镁锆射程为最多惊喜俯拾皆是. Take the ZR TD as an example.以锆运输署为例. Although it may seem odd to have an MG diesel model, the two-litre turbo diesel is a hoot to drive, the torque bringing a whole new dimension to cars of this size.虽然看似有一个多毫克柴油模式两公升柴油涡轮叫声是驾驶、扭矩带来一个全新的层面,如此庞大的车. You?ll feel the added weight of the engine when cornering hard, but it?s undoubtedly a novel experience.你?加上当地感受到当发动机重量偏难,但?收盘无疑是一个新的经验. It?s capable of hitting 60mph in 9.7 seconds whilst averaging 54mpg, making the ZR Turbo Diesel a quirky but affordable addition to the range.?收盘能打到60mph在9.7秒虽然平均54mpg,使一个挑剔但柴油涡轮锆负担额外的射程. The star turn is, predictably, the ZR160, which offers a hefty wallop from just £14,560 for the three-door.星椅上料,zr160,给人一种沉重猛冲刚刚从14560英镑的3门. This is the model that most drivers will opt for, the three-door shell looking agreeably more sporty than the five-door, and the ZR160?s sprint to 60mph of just 7.4 seconds is even quicker than an Audi A3 1.8 T Sport.这是多数司机会选择模型,三看大门壳牌欣然更潇洒比五门而zr160?收盘仅7.4秒的冲刺到60mph甚至810万180笔,奥迪A3级运动. The chief rivals for this model are the more expensive Renault Cliosport 172 and the banzai Honda Civic Type-R, both of which offer more power but at a significant price premium.这种模式是行政对手较贵cliosport172和雷诺本田公民万岁R型、两者都提供了重大的代价,但更多权力溢价.
As befits its old school appeal, the ZR160 feels something of a hooligan to drive, forever wheedling and pleading with the driver to fling it into a corner with reckless abandon.它适合作为老校庭,zr160感到有点流氓开车永远wheedling和催促司机丢给它陷入盲目放弃. You?ll hear some bump and thump coming back from the road and the steering wheel with buck and jitter in your hands when you corner enthusiastically, but it all feels alive and full of the most infectious joie de vivre.你?当地听到一些碰撞和扑通归来路与驾驶盘推手抖动,当你热情的角落,但这一切最感到充满朝气和传染性贪一时之快. In an age where cars become ever fatter, more remote and more anaesthetised, the ZR is a throwback, something that will reward the keen driver whilst keeping them on their toes.在这样一个时代车越来越肥胖,越来越多的边远麻醉,是一种情调锆、一些司机将给予奖励,同时又保持他们热衷们疲于奔命. Really push the limit and the car will complain with some understeer, but it?s nothing that can?t be remedied with a quick lift of the throttle.真正推向极限,车子就抱怨一些understeer,但它?收盘什么可以吗?笔加以补救,以快速电梯的油门.
OVERALL 总体
The MG ZR is a fun new buy and an even better used proposition.锆镁是一种乐趣,更用来购买新主张. It?s a great time to buy when the car?s overcome its initial slug of depreciation and landing a bargain ZR is going to put a huge smile on your face.?收盘时大时买轿车?克服了最初的折旧登陆利源塞锆将会提出一个巨大的微笑你的脸. It?s nowhere near the cutting edge of compact hot hatches but when something is this much fun, who cares??收盘16%;前沿热点舱口紧凑但当这一点是很有趣,谁在乎? Most advertising catchlines don?t approach the truth.大多数广告catchlines鲍思?笔接近真理. MG?s ?Outrageous Fun For All?毫克?收盘?岂有此理乐趣无穷? just about encapsulated the appeal of the ZR range.只是封装的上诉锆射程.
