PROTON COMPACT & SATRIA (1993 - 2005)质子紧凑&satria(1993至2005年)
Proton's Compact, known since late 1999 as the Satria, must be one of the motor industry?s best-kept secrets.质子的协约,为1999年底以来已知satria,必须是汽车行业?收盘最好保密. New car buyers are immensely loyal to the Malaysian company?s products and it?s easy to understand the reasons why.新购车的无比忠诚马来西亚公司?它的产品?收盘容易理解的原因. The Compact/Satria, for example, is a medium-sized family hatch at a supermini price.歌曲/satria例如,一个中等规模的超小型家庭舱口价. Used car buyers are now also beginning to see many of the attractions of Proton ownership.用于购车也开始看到现在许多景点质子的所有权. The company offers long and comprehensive warranties on all its new vehicles, a sure sign that reliability and durability are more than just sales talk.该公司提供长期和全面的保证所有新车、一个肯定的迹象,可靠性和耐久性都不仅仅是销售交谈. Used buyers have realised this and are beginning to discover the bargains that exist.买家用深明此开始发现存在讨价还价.

HISTORY历史
Costing several thousand pounds below Western European competitors, Protons are relatively plush, easy to drive, hold their value and never let their owners down.耗资数千英镑低于西欧选手质子相对长毛绒,容易径持有其价值,决不让业主失望. In short, they get the job done better than anything else even close to the price.总之,他们能做到接近甚至胜于一切代价.
Proton?s first models, the Mpi Saloon and Aeroback, were launched here in March 1989.质子?首模范,并aerobackMPI的球馆,这里是1989年3月推出. It wasn?t until the arrival of the Compact in October 1995, however, that the rounded look with which we now associate Protons first appeared.它.其余?笔直到1995年10月到达紧凑,但让我们看看,现在联想四舍五入质子先出场. Until October 1999, the 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6-litre three-door hatchbacks remained largely unchanged but they were then re-christened Satria and joined by a range-topping 1.8GTi model with twin cam engine and Lotus-tuned chassis.直到1999年10月13、1.5和1.6升3门厢型车维持不变,但他们后来重新命名并加入了一系列satria-双顶凸轮发动机模型1.8gti莲花调校的底盘. In 2000, Proton rearranged the mainstream model designations, confusingly adding ?S LE?2000年,质子重新主流模式番号、笼统加入?收盘乐? to the trim levels and adjusting specifications slightly.调整浪的级别和规格稍有.
In early 2001, this approach was dropped, a five year warranty included on all models and the 1.6-litre model given a sportier look and re-christened ?Sprint?.2001年初,这个办法是减少了,五年保修包括所有型号的1.6公升模式给予sportier寻找和重新命名?短跑?. If you couldn?t stretch to the GTi, a £9,299 Sport model was introduced in summer 2001 that gave all the looks with an insurance-friendly 86bhp 1.5-litre engine.如果你记不起来?笔拉力GTI学院、9299英镑一个体育模式,推出2001年夏季奖金全部容颜保险友善86bhp1.5升发动机.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Compact has always been, according to Proton, a car with more to recommend it than simply a competitive price and plenty of gadgets.歌曲一直按质子、更值得推荐的车,比单纯的价格竞争力和丰富的小玩意.
Standard specification is a particular strongpoint of virtually any used model you?re likely to come across.标准规格的堡垒几乎任何使用某种模式吗?再有机会接触. Tinted glass, a Blaupunkt stereo cassette, smart cloth upholstery, 50/50 split rear seats, headlamp height adjustment and engine immobiliser are just a few of the features fitted to many of the later models.茶色玻璃,blaupunkt立体声录音机、智能布料座垫、50/50分裂后座前照灯高度调整只是其中一小部分发动机防盗装置的特点许多后来的型号. GLSi models have central locking, a sunroof and a driver?s airbag and the SEi has power windows and mirrors plus air conditioning.已锁定中部glsi型号、天窗和一名司机?收盘气囊和窗户及镜子加世有权空调.
At the wheel, there's little to fault, unless you have a particular allergy to plastic.在车轮上的小故障,除非你有某种过敏塑料. Everything falls easily to hand and, provided you have no difficulty operating a payphone, it won't take you long to get the hang of the ergonomically laid-out controls.一切手容易跌倒,只要你有任何困难,经营收费电话机它不会给你漫长的体形冲出下岗了控制.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices start at about £1,400 and for that, you'll be looking at a late 1995 N-plate 1.3 GLi.价格为1400英镑左右开始,一看就会是1995年底氮板块三月一日成象. If you'd rather have the better-specified LSi, you'll be up for roughly another £300, though the earliest of these date from July 1996 so the price differential is bound to narrow for similarly aged cars.如果你有更好宁可指定集成电路,就会出来另外大约300英镑,虽然早在1996年7月至今,这些差价势必缩小对同样年龄轿车. These cars really are slow compared to their bigger-engined brothers so, if you can, try stretching to the 1.5 or 1.6-litre versions.这些车真的比他们大都是缓慢引擎兄弟,如果可以,尝试伸展至1.5或1.6公升版本.
An N-plate 1.5 GLSi will set you back about £1,500 while a 1.6-litre SEi will be about £1,600.一个氮板块定五月一日glsi你回来了约1500英镑1.6公升的SEI将于1600英镑左右. Late-plate cars are good buys and range from around £2,100 for a 99V 1.3 GLi to £2,600 for a 1.6 Celebration.晚盘车好买、射程为2100英镑左右,成象99v三月一日至六月一日庆祝了2600英镑. Don?t pay extra for special editions with names like Sprint, Penang and Spectrum.鲍思?笔另付特殊版本有数短跑、槟城和频谱.
The Satria ranges in price from £2,300 for a 2000W plate Li to around £5,400 for a 1.8 GTi from early 2002.satria不等的价格从2300英镑为5400英镑左右2000w板块李GTI组从2002年初的180. Between these two extremes, a 1.6-litre Sprint should fetch £3,300 on a late X-plate.这两个极端之间,有1.6公升冲刺应该掏了3300英镑下旬X光片.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
As usual with Protons, not a great deal.如常与质子不是很大. Owners tend to be careful drivers, attracted by the no-nonsense nature of the car and about as far removed from the boy-racer style of driving that it?s possible to be.业主往往要小心驾驶吸引了不尚空谈、渲染性轿车相去甚远男童跑车风格的驾驶它?收盘可能要.
Always peruse the service history log, plus make all the usual checks for corrosion, interior wear and tear (trim doesn?t age well) and the reliable operation of all the equipment.历史总是细读服务日志,加上令所有常住检查腐蚀内政部磨损(浪不惜?年龄和笔)和可靠运行的所有设备.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1995 1.3 GLi approx) A new clutch will be in the region of £100 and a full exhaust about £170 (excluding catalyst).(1995年3月1日基于成象大约)新离合器将在该地区全面、排气100英镑170英镑左右(不含催化剂). Front brake pads will set you back about £38 and £33 for the rear, while an alternator will be around £310 and a replacement starter motor about £140.前刹车皮定你回大约38英镑,33英镑的后方而发电机将于3100英镑左右起动马达、更换约140英镑. It will cost you around £185 for a radiator and about £100 for a headlamp.它会使你周围的散热器,约185英镑100英镑的前照灯.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Normally, affordable cars with power steering are pretty uninspiring, but this one feels quite responsive.通常得起车动力转向很平淡,但这种感觉很负责任. You could say the same for the handling.你可用同样的处理. Nothing to write home about, but safe, predictable and vastly superior to the first generation of Protons.乏,但安全,稳定远胜第一代质子. Given that the "zesty" 1.6 model makes 60 in just under eleven seconds on the way to 116 mph, it's probably just as well.既然"滋味"1.6模式使得刚下11秒60的116主机方式,这大概也是一样.
At the pumps, the Compact?s true strengths can be clearly seen.在水泵、紧凑?收盘真实实力可以清楚看出. In the 1.3, you can expect to average between 35 and 40mpg on a regular basis.在1.3,你可以预期平均35至40mpg有定期. Opt for the remarkably smooth optional automatic gearbox (three-speed on the 1.5, four-speed on the 1.6) and the figure drops to just over 30mpg.选择的择自动变速箱顺利(3月速150、四速的1.6)和数字落差略高于30mpg.
