CITYROVER (2003 - TO 2005)cityrover(2003年-2005年)
Although not without its merits, it?s doubtful that Rover?s tie up with TATA cars of India will be remembered as a high point in the firm?s corporate history.虽然不是一件好事,?收盘怀疑罗孚?收盘绊与印度塔塔汽车将记住一个高点的坚定?收盘企业历史. The car that was spawned, dubbed the CityRover, was a quick and inexpensive way for the company to access the city car market and would have had quite some appeal were it not for some rather optimistic pricing from new.轿车是源自名为cityrover,是一个快速、廉价的方式接入公司、市汽车市场将有相当吸引力,如果不是有些较为乐观从新定价. Given that buying used will nix that quibble about value, does the CityRover make a better used purchase than a new one?既然会灭,执政者用来购买价值请问cityrover做出更好用比购买新车? Find out here.找到这里.
HISTORY历史
It?s common knowledge that MG Rover don?t have the motoring industry?s largest new product development budget and much of their product planning centres around modifying existing products to appeal to new market niches.?收盘常识毫克孚鲍思?汽车业有笔吗?最大的新产品开发预算和大量的产品规划是围绕现有产品改装呼吁新市场. The CityRover is different.cityrover的不同. Built by TATA in India, the CityRover is based on their Indica city car, but has been given a thorough makeover by MG Rover to appeal to European palates.塔塔建在印度,是基于其籼cityrover汽车城、但得到彻底改变面貌的毫克孚呼吁欧洲口味.
Four models were available from launch, all based around the same 1.4-litre 83bhp engine.现有四个型号分别来自发射,周围所有的同一1.4-公升83bhp引擎. First up was the Solo, followed in order of plushness by the Select, the Sprite and finally the Style.第一起是独唱,接着依次由plushness责,雪碧终于风格. This top of the range version was saddled with a price tag of £8,895 upon introduction.这高高的射程版本背负着8895英镑的代价引进. If MG Rover could have carved around £1,000 from the prices of each model, the CityRover may well have shifted the numbers they were initially looking for.如果可以刻孚毫克左右英镑的价格从每1000模式cityrover的人数可能已被转移初步追缉.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The interior isn?t especially beautiful, but Rover have specified decent quality seating trims, while the full leather option on the range-topping Style variant is an unexpected touch.内政部肖国?笔特别漂亮,但罗孚已指定座位斩象样质量、而选择在充满皮革距离达触摸式变种很突兀. The lowest priced Solo variant is a little sparse but features a driver?s airbag, front seat belt pretensioners, a radio/cassette with four speakers, tinted glass and remote releases for the tailgate and fuel filler.最低票价单骑稀疏变小,但特点是司机?收盘气囊、前座带预、收音机/盒带四讲,茶色玻璃和边远发布的栏板和填充燃料.
Pay a little more and you get the Sprite model which features alloy wheels, a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel and gearknob, front fog lamps and a rear spoiler which together give it a pleasantly dynamic look and feel.付出一点,你会为特色的雪碧模型合金车轮皮革-体育方向盘和gearknob裁剪、雾灯具和后方阵地破坏者一起给一个愉快而动态的外观. A more luxury bias is evident on the Select version, which incorporates front and rear electric windows and air conditioning.更明显的偏向选择豪华版,其中包括前后电动窗、空调. Both Sprite and Select are fitted as standard with power steering, remote central locking, a rev counter and a CD-based stereo.无论雪碧和选拔标准与安装动力转向、中央锁偏远、晨曦一码光碟为本立体声.

Paint choices include two vibrant solid colours and eight optional metallic hues.油漆颜色选择包括两个固体生气择金属和八个色彩.
There?s no getting away from the fact that trim quality and finish isn?t what you?d expect from a European car and all models seem to be infused with a heady petrochemical smell that will require an industrial strength air freshener to dispel.?收盘没有脱离事实修剪质量下班肖国?笔你?四、所有期待来自欧洲汽车型号似乎是充满了振奋人心的香味,石化工业将需要一定的实力打消. That said, the materials used look rugged and easy to clean.尽管如此,用料看凹凸不平、易于清洁.

Interior quality isn?t the best but the rather crude plastics used do tend to be correspondingly tough.内政部质量肖国?笔最好用塑料做的相当粗糙,但往往是相对强硬. If you manufacture a car for use on India?s roads it will stand up to British tarmac without too much of a problem.如果你在印度生产的汽车用?收盘道路它将站立英国停机坪无太大的困难. Check the electrics over as these can occasionally betray a few gremlins (no Prince Philip jokes please) and also check the back for any kiddie destruction but otherwise there?s not a whole lot to go wrong with a CityRover.电工检查了这些偶尔可以出卖数gremlins(无腊笑话请),又返回医院接受检查,但没有毁灭,否则开心?收盘不会出问题了一大堆cityrover了.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
There?s only one engine choice available, a Peugeot derived 1.4-litre 84bhp unit, and you?ll only be offered a five door body shape, though that?s in positive contrast to many rivals which charge a premium if you want unfettered access to the rear seats.?唯一可供选择的发动机,标致导出1.4-公升84bhp股而你呢?当地雇员只能提出五门的体形、虽然?相对于许多竞争对手的正面收取保费如果你想不受限制的后座. Access to the car is easy thanks to doors that swing open through a ninety-degree arc and a high seating position.进入车内,很容易由于车门开通过摆动93度弧、高坐姿. The rear seats are mounted slightly higher than the fronts to give improved passenger visibility and the rear bench splits 60/40.后座装略高于战线后方的能见度和乘客提供完善合议庭分裂60/40 With a carrying capacity of 220 litres with the seats in place and 610 litres with the rear bench folded, the CityRover Sprite is a citycar that can do more than just a light shop.载客量为220公升,与同座位和610升位法官与后方折叠,cityrovercitycar的雪碧是可以做的不止轻型店.
Although the engine is undoubtedly unrefined, it?s gutsy enough to punt the CityRover up the road with quite some verve.虽然发动机无疑不登大雅之堂,它?收盘血性足够的cityrover踢起来相当充沛道路. In fact a CityRover is capable of dispatching the sprint to 60mph from rest quicker than virtually any comparable rival.事实上cityrover调度能力冲刺810万至39826360mph几乎任何对手可比. It?s also good fun to drive, albeit in a rather crude fashion.?收盘驾驶乐趣也很好,尽管在一个相当简陋的时装. Rather ironically, the sort of mature customers the car is targeted at are least likely to appreciate the outer limits of the car?s acceleration and handling!具有讽刺意味的是,这种成熟的汽车是针对客户最容易理解的外缘车?收盘加速处理!
OVERALL 总体
MG Rover had great hopes for the CityRover and, by and large, they?ve been dashed on the rocks of buyer apathy.毫克孚曾与厚望的cityrover,大体上他们?维生素E被冲上岩石买方冷淡. Much of that has been caused by a combination of optimistic pricing from new and the basic unrefinement of the product itself.许多已造成新的结合,从乐观的基本unrefinement定价的产品本身. As a used buy, the CityRover makes much more sense.作为用来购买,更使得cityrover感. As long as you?re not expecting the last word in interior sophistication, this car has a lot going for it.只要你?再不能指望硬道理室内世故,这车已经开出了不少. It?s not only quite good looking, it also has five doors, a zippy engine, a rugged interior and a sensible price tag.?收盘不仅相当帅气,但同时也有五门,zippy引擎一、合理标价内政部凹凸不平. Let somebody else swallow the steepest part of the depreciation curve and you could be left with a surprisingly attractive buy.让别人的一部分吞下去速折旧曲线,你可以离开了出乎意料的吸引力买.
