RENAULT CLIO (1998-2001)RenaultClio型(1998-2001)
The Renault Clio has established itself as one of the most stylish small cars around, certainly boasting a bit more high street chic than a Ford Fiesta or a Vauxhall Corsa.雷诺Clio型已成为世界上最小型车气派左右,当然吹牛一点高街广场热闹多了福特corsa或狂暴. Many used buyers are confused by the seemingly impenetrable range of trim levels, but the basic formula is a better built supermini than its predecessor with a focus on interior space.不少买家都是用来迷惑看似坚不可摧的修剪层次但基本公式是不是更好建成942个以超小型室内空间集中. As a used buy it?s a fair bet for all but the most enthusiastic driver, who would only really be advised to opt for the range topping Renaultsport Clio 172.作为用来买?但所有的公平打赌最为热心司机谁会真的只宜选择renaultsportClio型射程达172. Otherwise, an above average performance from Renault.否则,从一个高于平均业绩雷诺.
HISTORY历史
Renault had a hard act to follow with the Mk 2 Clio.雷诺已很吃力跟随同队二月Clio型. The original car had been warmly received by UK buyers after early suspicion, replacing as it did a near icon, the Renault 5.原来车已经赢得了英国后年初买家怀疑图标更换那样近,雷诺5. Truth be told, the 5 was long past its sell by date, but the Clio continued the tradition of lightweight, fun to drive French hatches.说穿了,早已过了5卖了迄今但传统续Clio型轻、法国舱口驾驶乐趣. The Mk 2 car was a slightly different proposition.二月的队车被略为不同的主张. The styling took some getting used to, with broad hips and a bulbous posterior.透露出的造型服,臀部和大铜铃后路. Sure, it felt a good deal more substantial than its immediate predecessor, but had it lost its joie de vivre and its nimble fleet of foot?可以肯定,这是一个很好的协议感到比其前任更充实、但多数贪一时之快而失去其敏捷车队脚? Whilst it was a more mature vehicle, the Clio was quietly defying all ?small French car?虽然这是一个更加成熟的汽车,Clio型悄不怕吗?法国小型轿车? stereotypes.定型. It was refined without being dull, comfortable without being spongy and reliable without being agricultural.据精而不呆板,舒适而不可靠而不海绵农业.
The engine choices were straightforward.引擎的选择是直截了当. Petrol 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 litre 8valve units or a 1.9-litre diesel.汽油1.2,1.4和1.6升8valve单位或1.9公升柴油. Not much there to get the juices flowing, but all proved reliable.有没有什么让果汁流,但是一切证明可靠. It wasn?t until March 1999 that Renault saw fit to provide a 110bhp 16v 1.6 and January 2000 before a 98bhp 16v 1.4-litre engine appeared.它.其余?直到1999年3月,雷诺笔尾巴16v提供110bhp98bhp1.6和2000年1月之前16v1.4-公升引擎出现. November 2000 saw the introduction of the 1.9dTi engine, which developed 80bhp and which supplemented the old 65bhp normally aspirated diesel.2000年11月推出的1.9dti看到引擎80bhp和发展老中添加65bhp柴油正常送气. At the same time the multivalve version of the 1.6-litre engine was introduced for all 1.6 variants, the old 8v engine being deleted.在同一时间的multivalve版本的1.6公升引擎6月1日开始实施的所有变种、赫利被删除旧引擎.
The Renaultsport Clio 172 was introduced in January 2000, fitted with a 172bhp 2.0-litre engine which, until the SEAT Leon VT was launched.renaultsport推出的Clio型1722000年1月,配备172bhp2.0公升引擎,直到所在地利昂速拉开战幕. Made it the most powerful hot hatch available.最强大得很热舱口. Press reaction was suitably gushing, aided by the car?s attractive price tag of under £16,000.新闻反应适度急雨,加上车?收盘吸引力售价16000英镑下. In October 2000, Renault unleashed the Renaultsport Clio 3.0 V6, a specialist model with a mid-mounted engine, wildly blown-out styling and 230bhp going to the rear wheels.2000年10月,雷诺Clio型3.0V6导renaultsport发动的一家专门以示范中旬展开引擎狂风吹出造型和230bhp前往后方轮子. Subtle it wasn?t, but despite its outrageous nature, few could see the point in paying an extra £10,000 over the almost as quick Clio 172.它微妙.其余?笔,但其性质恶劣、数能看见点额外付出10000英镑,几乎快Clio型为172. In truth, Renault marketed the car as a homologation tool, in order to run a race series.事实上,雷诺汽车经销亿安科技作为工具,为了把竞赛系列. In doing so, they may just have spawned a future classic.如此一来,他们可能只是未来经典而来.
Understanding the Clio trim levels is normally the point that people glaze over, and do something a bit easier, like learning Thai or giving Stephen Hawking a few pointers on his Unified Theory of Everything.Clio型笔挺的理解程度,通常人们釉超过一点,并做一些较为容易,如学习泰国或给予指点他几霍金统一理论出发. Until January 2000, it wasn?t too difficult, with an ascending level of (relative) luxury/prestige which went RN, RT, RXE, 1.6 Si and 1.6 16v.直到2000年1月,它.其余?笔太难,行时豪华程度(相对)/威望其中又以6.6%、放射、rxe,六月一日硅和1.616v. Perhaps feeling that this wasn?t ?lifestyle?这或许感觉.其余?笔?生活方式? enough, Renault then decided upon the 'Clio Collections' ?不够,那么雷诺决定>收藏Clio型'? three in all, dubbed Freeway, Elegance and Sport.在所有三个被称为高速公路,优雅运动.
In the Freeway group was the lead-in Liberte and the slightly better equipped Grande.在高速公路集团率先在自由与略胜配备grande. Both trim levels offer the usual three or five-door choice based around the proven 60bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine, though the Grande also offers a 65bhp normally aspirated diesel.通常都提供三个层次修剪或五门的选择证明周围60bhp1.2升汽油发动机,虽然grande通常也提供65bhp柴油送气. Opt for one of the Elegance models and again, there's a three-way choice, with most of the premium justified by a better range of more hi-tech 1.4 and 1.6-litre 16V petrol engines (plus the 80bhp dTi turbo diesel).选择一个最典型的风采,再有三地选择大部分保费合理范围更加美好高科技1.4和1.6-16v公升汽油引擎(80bhp成像加上柴油涡轮). Alize, Etoile and plush five door only-only Initiale cars offered a bit more, well, elegance.流通业、etoile大门只有五、长毛绒专用车漫谈优惠一点,那么漂亮.
The Sport 'Collection' kicked off with the helpfully-titled three-door 1.4-litre Sport model, slotting in below the existing Si.体育』收集『开锣与帮忙命名3门1.4-公升体育模式,在低于现有硅档. The Si meanwhile, also gets the 16v 1.4, as well as the option of that 80bhp 1.9-litre dTi turbodiesel, a unit that returns over 54mpg in normal use yet makes 60 in 12.8s on the way to 109mph.硅同时,还可以拿到16v1.4,以及选择,80bhp1.9公升turbodiesel成像、一个单位,但回报54mpg正常使用使得60月12.8s途中109mph. This variant is the only Sport model offered with five doors.这是唯一的运动模式提供了变种与五个门. Next up is the 110bhp 1.6-litre 16V RSi, previously known as the 'Clio 16V'.明年起是110bhp1.6公升16vRSI的,以前被称为'Clio型16v'. If that's not fast enough, you'll need to stretch to the clumsily-named Renaultsport Clio 172 2.0 16V.如果说的不够快,你一定要伸的累赘姓名renaultsportClio型1722.016v. Shoulld you require the ultimate Clio, opt for the Clio Renaultsport V6, capable on rest to sixty in 6.4s on the way to 147mph.shoulld你需要的终极Clio型、V6导renaultsportClio型的选择、能在休息6.4s至60月在途中147mph.
So, aside from offering the possibility of a Renault Clio Sport Sport, the launch of limited editions such as the January 2000?s MTV and the dilution of trim levels resulting in the 75bhp Clio 1.2 Sport have made choosing a Clio model a hit and miss affair.因此,除了提供了可能性RenaultClio型体育体育发起有限公司2000年1月版等.收盘MTV等,以致削弱了75bhpClio型层次修剪1月2日体育做出选择Clio型示范碰小姐的私事.
2001 saw a revision of the Clio range.2001年修改<Clio型射程. The twin element headlamps attracted most attention, looking similar to those used on the SEAT Arosa, and with built in indicator units they form a huge pod, smearing upwards and outwards.最受关注的两大要素大灯,神情犷arosa的座位,并与他们建立指标单位组成一个庞大荚果、向上、向外涂抹. The grille was treated to a completely different look, representing the latest family look as seen on the Vel Satis 2001 Geneva Show car.窗花是一个完全不同的治疗观察,代表最新家庭看就看Vel先生令人满意2001年日内瓦汽车展. Two new powerplants were offered, a 1.2-litre 16v petrol and 1.5-litre dCi common-rail diesel unit both make their debut, the diesel being offered in 65 and 80bhp guises, the petrol unit generating a straightforward 75bhp.两个新发电厂80707,1.2公升的汽油、16v1.5升协会共轨柴油股均作首演,柴油大体相近6580bhp名义,直截了当75bhp汽油发电机组.
At the opposite end of the range, the acclaimed Clio Renaultsport 172 underwent some changes aimed at improving low speed flexibility.相反,在年底的射程,福克172Clio型renaultsport经历了一些变化,旨在提高低速灵活. At launch, the petrol powered range comprised a 60bhp 1.2 8v, the 1.2 16v, a 98bhp 1.4, 110bhp 1.6 and the Renaultsport 172.在发射,射程包括60bhp汽油二月一日赫利,12016v,98bhp1.4110bhp1.6的renaultsport172. Diesel buyers got the two 1.5dCi variants, bringing the Clio diesel range well up to date.柴油有两个买家1.5dci变种,使Clio型柴油及各种最新资料. A luxury Initiale version, reminiscent in spirit of the old leather-lined Monaco variants, also debuted in summer ?01.漫谈豪华版,联想在旧精神皮革内衬摩纳哥变种,在夏季也亮相?01. A stripped out version of the Clio Renaultsport 172, designated the ?Cup?剥离出了172版的Clio型renaultsport指定的?杯? was launched in Summer 2002.在2002年夏季推出. The Renaultsport Clio was uprated to 255bhp in spring 2003 and gained a number of chassis modifications to make it easier to drive as well as the latest Clio nose.renaultsportClio型的新型干法至255bhp是2003年春季,取得了一批底盘改装,使其更易驾驶以及最新的Clio型鼻.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
If you haven't tried a Clio for some time, you should be favourably impressed by the Mk2 car.如果你没有尝试了Clio型有一段时间,你应该毫不逊色感动MK2在车内. Inside, the large glass area gives the cabin a light, airy feel.内,使大面积的玻璃座舱轻,通风感受. Outside, the big car theme continues, with a false impression of extra width courtesy of the curvy front wings, large headlamps and that unique upright tailgate with its domed glass.外面的大轿车仍然主题,以假象的额外宽度礼貌弯曲前翼、大型大灯,以其独特正派栏板玻璃圆顶.
Inside, the interior is better than anything the company's design team has previously produced in a supermini.内,内政部总比什么公司的设计小组曾制作了超小型. Basically, it's the same layout as the Megane ?基本上,它的同一版面为megane? though the driving position is much better.虽然驾驶状况好得多. There's a useful eye-level display showing radio and clock information and (on top-spec models) novel top-hinged head restraints.还有一个有用的眼睛级别电台和时钟显示,显示信息(顶光谱模式)新型顶铰头垫. Rear seat legroom still isn't great ?后座legroom仍然不大? but then few superminis excel in this department.但是在这几部superminis卓越.
So the Clio has grown up in the showroom.所以Clio型长大的陈列室. But is it really more mature out on the road ?但是否真的出更成熟的道路? Most will think so.最会这样想. A wider front track has enabled the latest car to use a much more sophisticated suspension system, first featured in the larger Megane.广泛阵线最新轨道车使用使得更尖端悬架系统、在规模较大的一次展出megane. The result is a huge improvement in ride, though the springing is still soft enough for it to be obvious that you're in a French car.结果是一个巨大的改善玩耍虽然仍在壶软够明显,你这是在法国车.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Anything with an R is cheap and anything with Sport(s) is expensive.任何一个R是什么便宜,与康(S)已是昂贵. Everything else is just detail.一切只是细节. The opening price for a Mk 2 Clio is £2,500 which will net you a basic 1.2-litre model on a 1998 R-plate.底价为2500英镑,是一个队将于2月Clio型净你一个基本的1.2公升关于1998住宅示范片. Note use of the word ?basic?.注用上?基本?. If you want an RN, budget an extra £200, and another £150 again for an RT.如果你想要的6.6%,200英镑的额外预算,另一次为150英镑逆转录. In truth, the 1.2-litre engine feels a trifle overwhelmed by the weight of the Mk2 Clio, so you should treat yourself to at least a 1.4, available in RT guise from £2,900 on the 1998 R-plate.事实上,120公升引擎一件小事感到震撼的重量MK2在Clio型、所以你要善待自己,至少1.4从2900英镑可借助逆转录月98住宅板块. You?ll pay about the same for more engine and less trim, in this instance a 1998 R Clio 1.6 RN Automatic ?你?当地付约一样多引擎少修剪、Clio型住宅1998年6月1日本来说氡自动? a superb suburban scoot if ever there was one.出神入化近郊scoot万一有一个50.
If you hanker for diesel power, expect to pay from £2,700 for basic three-door diesels on the 1998 plate, and another £200 if five doors seem a better idea.如果你渴望获得柴油电力,预计2700英镑的基本工资从3月98板门柴油、另有200英镑,如果五门似乎比较好. An early RT 5-door diesel retails at around £3,100, or £3,600 on a 1999 T-plate.早日逆转录五门柴油零售3100英镑左右,或者在3600英镑1999笔板.
Sports models are the most cutting-edge option in the Clio range.模型运动最尖端的选择Clio型射程. Unless your insurance broker is holding a gun to your head, try to avoid the warmed over Si and Sport models and aim at least for an RSi.除非你是持有保险经纪人为你的头炮,尽量避免在温斯和体育模范和至少一名RSI的目的. Not a repetitive strain injury, but the later incarnation of the Clio 1.6 16v.不重复拉伤,但后来化身的Clio型六月一日16v. Introduced on a 2000 V plate, expect to pay at least £4,500 for a decent example.2000年5月推出一盘,预料至少付出了4500英镑象样的例子. The sought-after Renaultsport Clio 172 is still a relative rarity on the used market, but the first examples on a 2000 W plate are retailing for around £7,100, their values dented in no small part by generous discounting from new.<孜孜以求renaultsportClio型172仍在使用相对稀有的市场,但在2000年的第一例子是零售板块-7100英镑左右,其价值不小凹陷部分剔除从新慷慨. With pre-registered cars with delivery miles often appearing for around £12,000, beware of the usual clowns who still think they can charge a premium over new for low mileage cars.预录里常常出现车运送约12000英镑,提防通常小丑仍认为他们可以收取保费低里程超过新轿车.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Not too much goes wrong with the Mk2 Clio, although the quality of some off the plastics could be better.没有太多的乱子MK2在Clio型,虽然质量能更好一些塑料序幕. The bumpers scuff very easily and plastic exterior parts tend to fade very easily in the sun.头皮很容易的保险杠、塑料部件外观往往很容易褪色的太阳. Likewise, the interior, though more substantial than the early cars, still doesn?t feel as well built as a SEAT Ibiza or even a Ford Fiesta.同样,内政部虽较大幅度超过年初汽车还不惜?笔心境和建座伊维萨甚至福特广场. Check the wheel alignment, as the Clio is quite sensitive to small misalignments, resulting in uneven tyre wear.检查车轮定位,是相当敏感的Clio型小失调,造成轮胎磨损不均.
It wasn?t until the introduction of the Renaultsport Clio 172 that there had been a model that would really appeal to the keen driver, and this model is beyond the budgets of most boy racers, so you?ll be hard pressed to find an abused Mk2 Clio.它.其余?直到笔引进了172renaultsportClio型模式,曾有过一个真正的激烈呼吁司机这个模型是最超越预算赛车、这么好吗?当地很难找到一个受虐MK2在Clio型. Truth is, until the 172 appeared the Mk2 Clio never really had the enthusiast appeal that was engendered by the Mk1 Clio 16v and Williams models.事实是,直到172的出现MK2在Clio型从未真正有魅力的兴旺的爱好者mk1Clio型16v和威廉姆斯的型号. That has certainly changed now, although the only tired looking cars will be high-mileage, low-spec company hacks.当然现在已经改变,虽然只有找车可累高里程、低棍光谱公司. Avoid these if at all possible.如可能避免这些.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1998 Clio 1.4 RT) Day to day consumables for the Clio are in line with what you?d expect.(大约1998基于Clio型逆转录四月一日)日常消费品的Clio型都符合你的吗?丁期待. An air filter is around £7, spark plugs are £9, whilst an oil filter is around £7 and a fuel filter £18.周围的空气滤清器是英镑7,火花塞是英镑九日而过滤油量约7和燃料过滤英镑英镑18. Nothing too terrifying here.什么太可怕了.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Pretty much standard fare for most models, with safe, if rather spongy, handling characteristics.收费标准不相上下最为典型,与安全,如海绵比较,处理特点. Engines tend to be good value for their respective capacities, with even the 1.4-litre 16v cars able to hit 60mph in a respectable 10.5 seconds, with 1.6-litre 16v models a second quicker again.发动机往往是合乎各自的身份,连1.4升16v轿车撞倒60mph能在5月10日尊敬秒有160公升型号16v第二快. The 1.9dTi is a far better bet than the stodgy 1.9d, with a top speed of109mph and sixty miles an hour flashing (small exaggeration) by in 12.8 seconds.1.9dti好得多打赌的是比顽固守旧1.9d、以最高时速60英里,一个小时of109mph闪光(小夸张)在8月12日秒. Drive everywhere like this and you?ll never approach the 54mpg average fuel consumption figure, but it?s good to know that you?ve got that in reserve.这样,你到处驾驶?剑从不向54mpg平均耗油数字但它?收盘好的知道吗?虚拟拿来备用.
The real news regarding road manners is the Renaultsport Clio 172.真实是新闻的马路上renaultsportClio型172. On the road, this engine powers to sixty in under 7 seconds on the way to 136mph - and the front wheel drive chassis is good enough to allow you to enjoy every minute, even if the whole handling-throttle-steering feeling is not quite as fluid as was the case with the old Clio Williams.在路上,这个引擎权力在7秒60的方式136mph-前轮驱动、底盘足以让你享受每一分钟即使整个处理-油门转向感觉并不像液体就象老Clio型威廉姆斯. Never mind.不要紧. Whilst the Williams was as sharp as a surgical scalpel, the 172 is more of a lump hammer, its blunt implement approach to getting the job done is less subtle but no less enjoyable.虽然威廉斯被削般的外科手术刀,更是一笔172锤它钝实施办法做好份内的工作是那么微妙但同样愉快.
OVERALL 总体
The Renault Clio stacks up a great deal of pluses and remarkably few minuses.雷诺Clio型本本了大量数御显弊. The picks of the range are probably the 1.9dTi and the Renaultsport Clio 172, but if you ignore the slightly underpowered 1.2-litre models, you can?t really go wrong.<镐的射程很可能1.9dtirenaultsportClio型和172、但如果你不理会稍微低估的1.2公升型号,你可以吗?笔真的出事. And if you can understand Renault?s almost impenetrable trim levels, chances are you?re too sharp to get hoodwinked into buying a lemon.而如果你能理解雷诺?收盘几乎坚不可摧修剪层次机会是你吗?太尖锐再度获得上当受骗购买柠檬. If you want safety and style in a package with minimum risk, a used Clio is a good place to start.如果你想安全和作风一套风险最小、一个用于Clio型是个好地方.
