PROTON COUPE (1997-2001)质子采伐(1997-2001)
You probably won?t have seen Proton?s smart but inoffensive little Coupe.你可能获胜?笔看到质子?但无害的小聪明采伐. Or maybe you have but didn?t really notice it: this is that sort of car.但也许你有雾化?这真是笔预告:这就是那种车. Which is a pity because it?s really rather fun to drive: it even has its own one-marque race series.可惜的是因为它吗?而真正的驾驶乐趣:它甚至有自己的一个劳斯莱斯竞赛系列. And it?s more than affordable on the used car market.它?收盘多用得起的汽车市场.
HISTORY历史
The Coupe was introduced in September 1997, based on an old-shape Mitsubishi Lancer coupe never sold in the UK.1997年9月开始实施的采伐,根据旧型百合采伐三菱从未在英国出售. It was launched with a twin camshaft, 16-valve 1.8-litre engine also made under licence from Mitsubishi and was very well equipped, the specification including Recaro front seats.它推出了双凸轮轴、16气门1.8公升引擎也发下牌照三菱很精良,recaro规格包括前座. A limited-edition Evolution 16v version with body kit arrived in April 1999.一个限量版同体进化16v袋1999年4月到达.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
On a practical note, that body style may not be the last word in coupe fashion but the upright stance does at least mean you?ll be able to fit two adults comfortably in the back.在务实说明该机构风格未必是硬道理,但在采伐时装正派立场是否至少意味着你?能配合当地两名成人舒适背部. There?s a boot large enough to carry four people?s luggage too ??尼长靴名特优新携带4人?收盘行李吗? and you can?t say that of a Puma or a Tigra.你也可以吗?笔说还是一个tigra美洲豹.
Equipment levels, as you might expect from one of the priciest Protons ever imported, are generous.装备水平,你可能预期从priciest质子的初衷之一,是慷慨. Outside, you can identify the car by its trim little boot spoiler, smart alloy wheels and front chin spoiler (which really needs a set of front fog lamps).外面,你可以找出它的汽车行李箱小浪破坏者,聪明合金车轮和前面展破坏者(这确实需要一套战线雾灯具).
Inside, the kit quotient runs to a CD player, a driver?s airbag, a height-adjustable steering wheel, an electric sunroof, power steering, an immobiliser, central locking, electric windows, power mirrors and ABS.内,厚达一套裁球员智商,司机?收盘气囊、高度可调方向盘、电动天窗、助力转向,防盗、中央锁、电动窗、电镜、ABS的. Thoughtful touches include drinks holders, 60/40 split-rear seats, headlamp height adjustment and remote boot and fuel filler releases.持有周到触及包括饮料、60/40分裂后座行李箱前照灯高度调节和边远、填充燃料释放.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Not much goes wrong.乱子不大. Look out for thrashed cars; interior fittings are not of the highest quality.好自为之研讨轿车;室内装修质量并不高.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1998 1.8i - approx) A new clutch will be in the region of £160 and a full exhaust about £335.(基于19981.8i-大约)新离合器将在该地区全面、排气160英镑335英镑左右. Front brake pads will set you back about £45 for the front set and £38 for the rear, while an alternator will be around £165 and a replacement starter motor about £125.前刹车皮定你回前方约45英镑、爱尔兰镑38集的后方而165英镑左右,将发电机更换起动马达约125英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The most surprising thing about this Proton is that it actually drives rather well.最令人惊诧的是,它实际上是对这个质子开车比较好. It?s no Ford Puma ??福特美洲豹收盘没有? but it?s not far off and given the Malaysian?s lack of experience in the sporting sector, that?s a very creditable achievement.但它?收盘不远,由于马国?收盘缺乏经验的体育界为何?收盘相当的骄人成就. Basically, the road holding is good and the rear end hard to un-stick, even when provoked.基本上来说,是一件好事,而后方道举行完联合国难支,即使挑起. Though the peaky engine encourages a point-and-squirt style of driving, everything else about the car has a sense of maturity about it.虽然鼓励点时段发动机和喷射式驾驶一切有关轿车已成熟感了.
OVERALL 总体
If you don?t care about image and you want the most fun you can get from a limited budget, this car actually makes a surprising amount of sense.如果你鲍思?笔在乎你想要的形象和最有趣你从有限的财政预算这实际上提出了汽车数量感惊讶.
