MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (2002- TO DATE)三菱太空之星(2002年至今)
If you?re in the market for a mini or supermini sized MPV, chances are you won?t have Mitsubishi?s Space Star in pole position on your shortlist.如果你?在市场重新申请或超小型迷你型巡逻艇,你赢的机率?三菱笔有?航天之星极点位置对你入围. Why?为什么? It certainly isn?t the quickest, the most spacious, the cleverest or the cheapest candidate around.当然肖国?笔最快、最宽敞、最聪明或最便宜的候选人周围. What it does offer is a comfortable middle ground, a smartly styled appearance and an impressive range of engines.究竟有没有提供一个舒适的中间地带,一个聪明摆开了多种外观和发动机. Most will overlook it in favour of more conspicuous offerings such as the Renault Scenic, Fiat Multipla or Vauxhall Zafira, but in truth the Mitsubishi is a smaller, less ambitious proposition more akin to a Daihatsu Grand Move.多数赞成将忽略它更突出冥如雷诺风景、菲亚特zafira多发性或狂暴,但真理是一个较小的三菱、命题更像一个雄心勃勃少发大动作. To ignore a used Space Star because of this is to pass a competent offering by, and one that offers 90% of the utility of mini MPVs at a modest price.忽视了使用空间,因为这是明星通过提供由主管、而90%的人认为有用处迷你mpvs在温和的代价. If you want a nearly new micro MPV that does nothing badly and won?t go out of fashion by the end of the month, then a Mitsubishi Space Star bears closer scrutiny.如果你想要一个新的微型巡逻艇接近,并没有什么不好获胜?笔走出了时装月底当时的三菱太空之星负有看清楚. The post 2002 model offers improved build quality and a number of neat packaging tricks.示范站2002提供完善的建设质量和包装花样多齐整. With used prices as they are, it deserves your attention.用价格与他们一样,值得大家注意.
HISTORY历史
Although the Colt Space Star had been marketed in the UK since late 1998, it remained largely beneath the mainstream radar despite the availability of the radical 1.8-litre Gasoline Direct Injection engine that aimed to make a petrol-powered car drive like a petrol but drink like a diesel.太空明星小马虽然已经自1998年底在英国上市,它大致下方主流雷达却极激进一点八公升汽油直接喷射发动机,以使汽油的汽车驾驶喜欢喝酒,但像汽油柴油. Few seemed to care.似乎很少照顾.
In July 2002, a new Space Star (minus the ?Colt? tag) appeared in the UK.2002年7月,一个新的太空明星(减去?小马?标签)出现在英国. Though the 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre petrol engines remained as before, the 1.8-litre GDI petrol unit was dropped in favour of the 101bhp 1.9-litre DI-D diesel unit used in the larger Carisma.虽然130公升和1.6公升汽油引擎仍一如既往180公升汽油直喷赞成股下跌的101bhp1.9公升荻四组用柴油carisma较大. Prices were realigned and the range refined to just two trim levels, Mirage and Equippe.价格调整幅度和成品仅两个层次修剪,并equippe海市蜃楼. A Classic entry-level version appeared in early 2003.经典入门级版本出现在2003年初. Every exterior panel was new but you wouldn?t have known it.每个小组的外观,但你是新wouldn?笔知道. Inside, the look and feel was much improved ?内,外观得到了很大的提高? there were even cupholders in the rear.甚至还有cupholders的后方. It still failed to capture the imagination of UK buyers despite being a markedly better car than its progenitor.它依然未能攻克的想象力虽然身为英国买家明显好于祖车.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Those who recall earlier iterations of the Space Star will appreciate the facelift that?s been visited upon this model.那些记得早些时候的空间迭代将欣赏明星整容?收盘访问这个模型. With a colour-keyed front bumper, an integrated grille, black protective mouldings and revised headlights and indicators, the look is a good deal more contemporary.以色保险杠紧张阵线,综合花砖,保护模和修黑色头灯和指标面貌更是一个很好的当代. Squint hard and you can even make out design cues from the Lancer Evo models in the frontal aspect.斜视很难辨认,你甚至可以设计线索来自百合evo正面典型方面. Squint harder still and you can make it look like a Ferrari 360 but this isn?t wholly recommended ?斜视斤,你也可以,又像法拉利360但这肖国?笔全推荐? your gurning mug may scare small children.您gurning杯五月吓唬小孩. The rear lights have also been smoothed over and every model is fitted with alloy wheels.后方灯火亦已超过每平滑合金模型装有轮子.
The interior has also come in for a freshening.内政部也已经在淡化了. The upholstery is markedly superior to the ?old?座垫明显的优势为?老? Space Star, as is the quality of the plastics used about the cabin.太空明星,是用优质的塑料座舱左右. The centre console has been redesigned to bring it into the here and now, as has the steering wheel.中心控制台已重新使这里变成了现在,已经方向盘. There are even cup holders for rear passengers.甚至有持杯后座乘客. Whilst the seating arrangement doesn?t mirror that of a fully paid-up member of the mini-MPV club, storage capacity certainly does.虽然座位安排不惜?这充分反映了笔缴足委员小巡逻艇俱乐部是否一定库容. As well as being fitted with huge door bins, the Space Star also has stowage space beneath the passenger seat, in the back of the front seats and in the centre console.以及安装大门的巨大箱太空明星还装载乘客座位下方的空间,在前排座位后面的中心控制台. Locating a carelessly secreted Yorkie can detain you for some time.寻找一名不慎分泌yorkie您可以扣留了一段时间.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Expect to budget for at least £6,800 for a decently cared for Space Star 1.3 Mirage, in this instance on an 02 plate.预料预算至少为6800英镑,不卑不亢明星三月一日照料的空间幻影,如2002年在这一板块上. 03-plated examples are currently fetching around £7,600.1903年镀例子取现7100英镑左右. In truth we?d avoid the 1.3 and instead plump for either the 1.6-litre petrol or the 1.9-litre diesel models.实际上我们?四、避免与其肥美或是130160公升汽油或1.9公升柴油型号. The 1.6-litre models are the most commonplace and these open at £7,400 on an 02 plate in Mirage guise or £8,100 in Equippe trim, rising to £9,400 for a late 53-plated Equippe.160公升型号是最常见和公开这些板块在1902年就在7400英镑幻影8100英镑,或假借于equippe修剪、英镑上升到9400年底的53equippe镀. The best of the bunch has to be the 1.9-litre diesel model and you?ll need to cough up at least £8,200 for an 02-plated Mirage or £8,600 for a similar vintage Equippe.最好的是一串有1.9公升柴油和模式吗?当地至少需要花8200英镑为1902年至8600英镑,或镀有类似幻象equippe古董. Insurance ratings for the Space Star reflect the fact that it?s safe, secure and is often driven by more mature customers.太空保险评级反映出明星?收盘安全安全和更成熟的顾客往往驱使. Budget for Group 7 if you?ve chosen a 1.3-litre car or Group 8 for the rest.如果你预算七国集团?味选择1.3公升的车或八国集团休息.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Although a good deal more substantial than the old Colt version, the Space Star?s interior still isn?t what you?d describe as hewn from rock.虽然出现了不少更为可观曲尺比旧版本太空明星?内政部收盘仍肖国?笔你?丁形容为从原始岩石. Despite the decent equipment levels, the Space Star could do with some higher quality fitments.尽管象样装备水平,空间可以做一些明星素质较高设备. It?s obvious where costs have been cut, and it could have been done in a cleverer way.?收盘已经明显降低成本,而且可以做一个聪明的方法. Check the interior for tears, stains and snapped off fittings, and inspect the luggage bay and the seat backs for signs of damage when loading.检查室内泪水,污渍和对开逾三成配件、检查行李和座位靠背湾损坏迹象时落. Otherwise insist on a service history.否则硬要服务历史. Mechanically the Space Star benefits from Mitsubishi?s usual reputation for extreme durability.机械得益于三菱太空之星?收盘平日名声极度耐用.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2002 Space Star 1.3i) Spare prices for the Space Star aren?t too meteoric, except for the black hole in your finances represented by a new exhaust system, which will require around £675 to replace if you factor in the catalyst.(大约2002基于空间明星1.3i)腾出价格空间西哈莫尼明星?笔太大气、除为代表的财政黑洞贵新排气系统这将需要大约675英镑,如果你更换了催化因素. A new clutch assembly is around £170, front and rear brake pads retail at around £40 a pair, and a new alternator will be around £150.新离合器组装170英镑左右,前后刹车皮零售40英镑左右一双,发电机及新会期约150英镑. Finally if you?re after a new starter motor, set aside £130.最后如果你吗?经过重新起动马达新,拨出130英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The 1.3-litre engine is one of the older ones on Mitsubishi?s books, developing an unremarkable 81bhp.130公升引擎是旧三菱?收盘书籍,开发了81bhp不起眼. The 41.5mpg combined fuel figure looks impressive, but will be difficult to achieve in ?real?41.5mpg的燃油合计数字看来庞大,但就难以实现?真实? conditions, especially if the Space Star is fully loaded.条件,尤其是如果太空明星满载. The sprint to 60mph will take over 14 seconds, making this 1.3-litre model only marginally quicker than some tectonic plates but if you expect a racy drive and all that practicality then your expectations are probably going to have to be managed downwards.斯普林特至60mph将超过14秒,这130公升模式只是稍微快一些板块但是如果你期待一个活泼的动力和实用性,那么您期望所有可能会为管理向下. Far better to fork out a little extra and plump for the 1.6-litre version.不如花上一点钱,肥美的1.6公升版. This offers a choice of two very different transmissions; a regular five-speed manual or the intriguing INVECS II 4-speed automatic, which claims to ?learn?这提供了两种截然不同的选择传送;经常五速手动或耐人寻味invecs二4-速自动,自称?学习? driving styles and adapt accordingly.驾驶风格和适应. The 1.6-litre engine will propel the Space Star to a top speed of 112mph and it?ll notch off 60mph in 12.0 seconds if you change yourself and 14.5 seconds if you?re relying on INVECS-II.160公升引擎将促使太空明星来最高时速达112mph它?在当地缺口过60mph12.0秒和14.5秒,如果你改变你自己?再靠invecs-二. The fuel economy is something worth crowing about, the Mitsubishi capable of nearly 40mpg combined.燃油经济是值得挺胸左右,三菱综合能力近40mpg. That INVECS-II 4 Speed Automatic Transmission system claims to be pretty clever.这invecs-二4速自动传动系统声称是漂亮聪明. Its key advantage is what Mitsubishi call ?Adaptive Shift Control?.其主要优点是什么三菱呼吁?自适应控制转移?. Here, a computer constantly monitors driving performance to learn your driving style.在这里,一台电脑显示器驱动业绩不断向你学习驾驶风格. Even if you opt for the manual, however, you won?t feel hard done by as the five-speed gearbox has a smooth, quality feel to the shift.即使你选择手工但是你赢了?笔感到很难做了五速变速箱已平稳,转向以质量感觉. Around tight car parks, a turning circle of just 4.8 metres is a boon, while out on the road; the slippery 0.33Cd figure means that wind noise is kept to a minimum.周围严密的停车场,转圈子刚刚四点八米是好事,但出于对道;湿滑0.33cd数字意味着风噪声减至最低.
Producing 101bhp at 4,000rpm, the 1.9-litre direct injection diesel offers the sort of smooth refinement we?ve come to expect from contemporary diesels.到4000快速原型制作101bhp,190公升柴油直喷圆顶我们带来什么?当代柴油味来期待. Here is a car that emits only 146 grammes of carbon dioxide per kilometre travelled.这里是一个只有146克的汽车,二氧化碳排放每公里. A car that manages to eke over 51 miles out of every gallon of diesel and yet manages to accelerate to 60mph in under 12 seconds is proof indeed that you can have your cake and eat it too.车子仍能勉强超过51年的每加仑柴油英里外而下,仍能在12秒内加速到60mph证明的确有你,你可以兼得.
OVERALL 总体
Depending on what viewpoint you take, the Mitsubishi Space Star is either a worthy competitor or a tough sell.视乎你什么角度,无论是三菱太空明星选手还是值得强硬推销. Cars like the Vauxhall Meriva and the Honda Jazz offer a good deal more in terms of clever packaging and driver appeal respectively, but the Space Star aces them both in terms of affordability and, for the time being at least, used availability.像汽车和本田爵士乐狂暴meriva提供了大量的巧妙包装和司机,分别提出上诉,但不论在空间明星尖子的负担,暂时最少可供利用. Unremarkable in any obvious way, the Space Star quietly gets on with the job in hand.任何明显地不起眼,悄悄踏上太空明星与就业手. If you want a car that will operate with metronomic reliability and which boasts a commonsense hassle-free nature, a used Space Star could well appeal.如果你想要一辆可靠运行节律还说常识排解免费性质明星可以用一个空庭.
