Knives were sharpened in advance; hatchet jobs were planned describing how MG Rover were milking the last vestiges of credibility from the MG marque.刀削尖提前;前嫌职位描述如何规划毫克孚被挤奶的最后残余从信誉毫克劳斯莱斯. Journalists drove the car.记者驱车车内. Big helpings of humble pie were subsequently eaten.大helpings后来吃大饼的谦卑. The MG ZT is a class act, a car that feels as if it should retail another £5,000 dearer.一类是镁ZT的行为,如汽车,感觉应该也贵5000英镑,另零售. There?s a bulletproof aura to it whichever model you choose.?它的防弹气质你选择哪一个模式. With used examples now starting to appear in steady numbers it?s possible to buy into this hefty hunk of Britishness at bargain prices.与现在使用的例子开始出现稳步号码?收盘大幅这可能买便宜的英籍帅哥. Here?s how.这里?如何收盘.

HISTORY历史
That the MG ZT was hatched from the tweedy Rover 75 is improbable in itself.毫克,ZT有从孵化tweedy孚75芋本身. That it turned out to be a car that looked the part wearing alloy wheels and spoilers is even less likely but strange times breed strange cars.它变成了一车,显得特别穿着合金车轮和破坏者,而是更奇怪怪车倍滋生. When BMW pulled the plug on Rover, the management in charge had to revitalise the marque and bring in much needed cashflow quickly and it turns out they made some wise choices.宝马对罗孚触动堵塞时,曾负责管理和振兴劳斯莱斯和引进急需现金周转快了一些原来他们明智的选择.

Employing Peter Stevens to style the ZT?s aggressive spoilers was one good move as was sparking public interest with plans for outrageous rear wheel drive powerhouses.彼得史蒂文斯雇用的ZT的风格来?破坏者是一个很好的进攻被称做引发公共利益与规划离谱后轮驱动力. The range kicked off in June 2001 with one engine in two distinct states of tune, 160 and 190bhp.2001年6月开锣射程一国的两个不同引擎声,160和190bhp. This 2.5-litre V6 was a good base to proceed from, offering a buttery smooth power delivery that MG could graft some proper sporting induction and exhaust sounds onto.这2.5升V6导是一个很好的基地从,开办蝶式权力顺利交货,镁可以移植一些适当运动推入门及排气声.

The ZT-T Tourer model and 114bhp CDTi diesel version followed shortly afterwards.<ZT的-笔tourer模型和114bhpcdti柴油版之后不久. A ZT180 Sports Auto version appeared in summer 2002 with a more powerful CDTi 135 version appearing the subsequent autumn.zt180体育版出现了自2002年夏天更为强大cdti135版本以后出现秋季. At the same time, MG Rover axed the ZT160 in favour of a turbocharged 1.8-litre model, also with 160bhp but boasting better emissions and performance figures.在此同时,罗孚毫克断送了赞成票zt160增压1.8公升模式但也有160bhp和排放性能好吹嘘人物. Summer 2003 saw the launch of the fleet-friendly ZT120 entry-level model.2003年夏天发射车队友善zt120入门级模式. The first of the rear-wheel-drive V8 ZTs arrived at the tail end of 2003 sporting a 4.6-litre Ford Mustang engine.首部后轮驱动的V8的通讯社2003年底到达尾巴背着4.6公升引擎福特野马.

In early 2004 a facelift radically, and somewhat controversially, changed the look of the car.2004年初彻底整容,有点争议、改变面貌的汽车. A new grille derived from the SV coupe and reshaped headlights were the most prominent.新格栅源自蝎采伐整形头灯最突出者. features.特征. By 2005, it was all over for the ZT and MG Rover as a volume car producer.到2005年,据各地的ZT和镁作为罗孚汽车生产量.

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
MG Rover started at a considerable disadvantage in not having a clean sheet of paper to work from.毫克孚开始处于极为不利的清洁纸没有上班. They had the Rover 75 as a basis and had to make a decent fist of it.他们孚1975年作为基础,并已取得了不错的拳头. It was a bit like being presented with Kenneth Clarke and being expected to train him into an Olympian pole-vaulter.它有点像被颁发午克拉克和他所预期的培养成为奥海极点vaulter. You?d be facing a heavy uphill task.你?四是面临着繁重艰巨的任务. Therefore it came as something of a surprise to witness the automotive equivalent of big Ken sailing over the six-metre bar.因此它看成是一个意外见证汽车大垦航行超过等值600米吧.

Headline grabbing flagship models may build the brand, but it?s the cars with broader appeal that put the money in the bank, and the ZT CDTi, ZT CDTi135, ZT 120, ZT 160, 180 Sports Auto and 190 models that form the most relevant parts of the ZT range have had to earn their keep against some formidable and well-established opposition.标题抢走旗舰品牌型号可能在香港、但它?收盘广阔的魅力把车存放在银行、芽苗cdti,ZT的cdti135,ZT的120、160ZT的,180和190型号汽车运动形式,最ZT的相关部分的幅度已让他们赚一些艰巨和行之有效的反对. The ZT190 certainly looks aggressive enough, with the squinting front lamps, deep spoilers and full dechroming treatment ridding the MG ZT of the geriatric appearance of the Rover 75.zt190当然显得咄咄逼人的话,与前灯凝神,深破坏者和充分铬镁ZT的待遇消除了老人外观孚75. The entire front grille and air dam construction had to be completely redesigned when MG Rover?s stylists realised that the indicators of the Rover 75 were already at the legal minimum height, and that the essential process of lowering the car would render the indicators illegal.整个战线门锁及空气都必须全部重新建造水坝时毫克孚?收盘设计师意识到绩效孚75人已在法定最低高度而汽车的本质过程降低会使指标非法.

The interior has been thoroughly divested of any timber, and there is some exquisite detailing, not least of which the beautiful leather/alcantara seats and steering wheel combination.内政部已经彻底剥夺任何木材,有精美详述,其中最不美丽皮革/阿尔坎塔拉座位和方向盘组合. Compared to the MG, the interiors of many rival sporting brands are token efforts, ruthlessly excised overheads from the big budgets that have been lavished on the drivetrains and suspension set-ups.相对于毫克,许多对手腹地的体育品牌令牌努力无情从大范围已从间接赞美的预算已确定驱动和暂停起坐. The ZT+ models hammer home the point still further with additional air conditioning, rear electric windows, a CD autochanger and a rear spoiler included in their prices.ZT的家园+锤型号的角度进一步增加空调、后排电动窗唯autochanger和后方列入其价格破坏者.

WHAT YOU PAY  您付出
Around £10,100 would be an indicative price for a 2001 Y plated MG ZT 160+ with a 51-plated car retailing at around £11,600.大约10,100英镑的代价将是2001年的指示性肽Y镀+160毫克ZT的一个51-镀轿车零售11600英镑左右. The ZT190+ model is the most frequent find and these turn up at around £10,500 on a 2001 Y plate or £13,500 for a 03-plated car.该模型是最常见zt190+找出来,这些在2001年10,500英镑左右肽Y板块为13,500英镑或03年镀车. Expect to add around £600 to the price if you want a ZT-T estate.预计售价为600英镑左右加上想要ZT的-笔遗产. All ZTs offer reasonable rates of insurance with even the top ZT190 models being rated a mere Group 15.各通讯社提供合理的保险金额最高甚至被评为模范zt190组仅15.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
The MG ZT has proved to be a reliable offering, despite being driven by some quite demanding customers.镁ZT的已被证明是一个可靠的开办,尽管受经济利益驱动,一些比较苛刻的客户. Because of the sporting nature of the car, check the tyres for wear as keen driving will quickly scrub the shoulders off the front pair, especially with V6 versions.因为体育本质车内检查轮胎磨损热衷驾驶很快擦洗过肩前方舞蹈家尤其是V6的版本.

One thing to check is that the specification sheet matches the date of first registration.一件事是,规格表查核赛事首次登记日期. There are continued rumours of large numbers of MG ZTs that were pre-registered to artificially inflate sales figures.续有大批毫克通讯社谣言被预先登记人为夸大销售数字. These cars may have been standing in a field or car park for weeks on end, so check for water ingress, signs of surface corrosion on suspension parts.这些车可能已经站在了场或停车场星期就结束,因此检查水浸入,暂停零部件表面腐蚀的迹象.

REPLACEMENT PARTS  替换零件
(approx. based on 2002 ZT1.8T) Nothing too scary here.(约根据2002zt1.8t)什么太可怕了. For most parts the prices are quite reasonable and worth the money.大部分零件价格相当合理,物有所值. Expect to pay around £230 for a full clutch assembly, around £90 for a headlamp and about £195 for an alternator.预计付出了全部230英镑左右离合器集会大约为90英镑,约一前照灯为195英镑发电机. Brake pads should cost about £55 for the front and £50 for the rear, whilst a starter motor is around £185.刹车皮要耗资大约55英镑,50英镑,前方后方,虽然起动电机大约185英镑.

ON THE ROAD  在路上
Despite its many other talents, the 2.5-litre V6 is perhaps the only impediment between a good car and a great one.尽管其他许多人才,2.5升V6导障碍之间或许只有一个伟大的好车. Despite the soundtrack it?s not a particularly sporting engine.尽管原声吗?收盘不算特别体育发动机. The car?s all-up weight of 1550kg is enough to blunt acceleration, although the ZT190 cracks 60mph in 7.8 seconds before running out of gear ratios at 141mph.汽车?收盘总重1550kg足以钝加速度、虽然在八月七日zt190裂痕60mph秒前沉不住气齿轮比率为141mph. Opt for the ZT160 and you can expect to dispatch 60mph in 8.7 seconds en route to 131mph.你可以选择和预期的zt160于七月八日派出60mph秒途中131mph. Bigger brakes have been fitted to cope with the enhanced velocities and more aggressive driving styles the ZT will be exposed to, and the suspension has come in for a massive overhaul.大刹车已装置配合加强速度和侵略性的驾驶风格更是暴露了ZT的,既然来了,中断了大规模检修. An estate variant, the ZT-T is also available should you need to exact revenge on the family pooch.地产变种,ZT的-笔亦可应需要您的家庭无处报复.

A firm ride is served up courtesy of the low-profile Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, but when the full extent of the modifications become apparent, it?s a wonder that passenger?s don?t emerge with shattered teeth, blurred vision and internal bleeding.安然公司送达了礼貌的低调Michelin美食飞行员体育轮胎但当充分显现程度的修改,?收盘了,难怪乘客?收盘鲍思?笔出刺破牙齿,视力模糊及内出血. The rubber mounts have been removed from the front and rear subframes and replaced with mounts made of a slightly less yielding material ?橡胶套被除名前后耗能并代之以稍慢,唱出了一出物质? solid aluminium.固体铝. The front and rear anti-roll bars have been hugely reinforced and the meatier suspension arms now look like the propshaft of HMS Ark Royal.前方和后方反滚吧,大大增强军备和悬浮的内容现在好像propshaft皇家海军皇家方舟. Whilst the MGF Trophy kept chiropractors up and down the country in clover, it comes as quite a surprise to learn that MG Rover have indeed managed to endow the MG ZT with an amazing degree of ride suppleness, although they?ve been working hard at methods to reduce the amount of tyre noise transmitted to the cabin.虽然函数奖杯脊上下都存放在三叶草、谈到颇为惊讶地获悉孚毫克84毫克管理确实有惊人ZT的柔软度乘、尽管他们?辛勤耕耘在虚拟方法降低轮胎噪音量传送给座舱.

Although neither the ZTCDTi, CDTi135, ZT120, ZT160, 180 nor the 190 variant are devastatingly quick, they more than make up any lack of outright speed in their sheer fluidity.虽然无论ztcdti,cdti135,zt120,zt160,180或190个变种的破坏性快他们比任何弥补其不足断然明目流动速度. They always feel big and heavy, but they?ve got just enough baby Bentley in the genes to differentiate themselves from the 3-Series/C-class/A4 mainstream and position themselves as something a little different.总感觉大和沉重,但他们呢?宾利刚刚够得味在婴儿基因识别出自己看成3-series/c-class/a4主流地位有点不同.
