HISTORY历史
The first Carismas arrived in the UK, in five-door hatch form only, at the end of 1995.第一carismas抵达英国,在五门舱口流于形式,在1995年底. These two initial models consisted of an 89bhp 1.6, offered in GL and GLX trim, and a 114bhp 1.8 in GLX and GLS guise.这两种型号的初步形成了89bhp1.6,提供星期六及天然笔挺,一114bhp1.8天然、假借谈GIS. Within a year this line-up was replicated in saloon form.在这一年列队在球馆形式被复制. Then, in May 1997, they were joined by a 1.9-litre turbo-diesel, which was also offered as a hatchback and saloon.那么,1997年5月,他们参加了1.9公升涡轮柴油,也提供了hatchback和球馆.
However, the most significant arrival wasn?t until later in that year, when the 1.8-litre Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine was unveiled, offering what was heralded as diesel economy with petrol performance.不过,最重要的到来.其余?笔直到后来这一年当一点八公升汽油直喷(GDI)引擎震荡,什么是兄弟阋墙提供柴油与汽油经济表现. At the same time, the entry-level 1.6 was given a power boost to 100bhp and there were minor improvements across the range.在此同时,入门级6月1日发出功率为100bhp和带动全国有轻微改善幅度.

Minor changes includes a lower compression ratio and a drive-by-wire throttle which allowed cruise control to become available.小的变化包括降低压缩比,并驱车由丝油门让巡航控制成为刊物. Further minor restyles took place in 2001 in a bid to boost the car?s woeful sales showing.进一步在2001年发生轻微restyles为了推动汽车?现今的销售呈现. The price of the base GDI Equippe was booted through the floor, but the Carisma never threatened the top ten UK charts.价格equippeGDI的基地被赶出经楼但carisma从不威胁英国十大图表. 2002 saw prices reduced yet further with a sub £10,000 1.6 Classic SE model introduced, as Mitsubishi wised up to the fact that the Carisma was never going to make a credible Laguna/Mondeo challenger.2002年价格进一步缩小与分10000英镑六月一日推出经典示范硒、由于三菱wised截至到carisma从未想作可信丽/蒙迪欧挑战者.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Pick of the Carisma bunch has to be the 1.8 GDI.carisma挑了一串已被180GDI的. There are several models fitted with this revolutionary powerplant, and all are capable (depending on the way you drive) of either exceptional economy or above-average performance.有几种型号装有这种革命性的动力,和所有有能力(取决于你驾驶)一方或特殊经济高于平均表现. If you drive with a heavy right foot, then you?ll notice little difference, apart from a minor power increase over the older ?ordinary?如果你驾驶右脚沉重,那么你呢?当地公告差别不大,除了小功率比老?普通? 1.8-litre models (which disappeared with the late 1999 facelift).一点八公升型号(消失的1999年底改版).

The figures seem to bear this out.数字似乎可以证明这点.

The GDI puts out 125bhp as opposed to 115bhp for the Ford.又如125bhp的排名不是115bhp的福特. Against the clock, it manages rest to 60 in just 9.7s (11.0 for the Ford).分秒必争,其余60只9.7s管理(11.0为福特).
Meanwhile, at the pumps, it achieves a combined fuel consumption figure of 45.6mpg (36.2mpg for the Ford).另外,在水泵,达到合数字45.6mpg油耗(36.2mpg为福特). So, yes, the GDI is a rare engine that really does let you enjoy the best of both worlds.所以可以说,是一种罕见的GDI发动机的确让你享受两全其美.
