ROVER 45 (1999- TO 2005)罗孚45(1999年至2005年)
The Rover 45 took over where the old 400 series left off.凡1945年接手罗孚400系列老不放过. With a new-look corporate grille, revised driving characteristics and aimed squarely at the middleweight VW Golf/Ford Focus axis, the Rover 45 is a more tightly marketed proposition than the 400 range.以新貌法人花砖,修改目的驱动特色终于middleweight64+15高尔夫/福特重心轴罗孚45更严密行销命题范围比400. In many respects the 45 range is two distinct series of cars, the five-door hatches which are badged using the same standards as the 25 and the luxurious four-door saloons, badged like junior Rover 75s.在许多方面,是两个截然不同的45系列车程,五是badged舱口大门用同一标准和25个豪华四门发廊、流浪少年原是badged喜欢. Whichever choice you make, a used Rover 45 is a good way to get a nearly new car for thousands less than the new list price.你选择哪个牌子,罗孚45采用了一个好办法得到将近十万新车价格不到新名单.
HISTORY历史
Cynics will argue that there?s no such thing as a nearly new Rover 45, as they were all old to begin with.讥讽会说吗?收盘无所谓了近新罗孚45因为他们都是旧剧. There is an element of truth in this facetious accusation, as the 45 isn?t hugely different to the outgoing 400 series of cars.有一种真理在这个玩笑的控诉内容,作为45肖国?400笔大相迳向离任系列汽车. The 400 failed to register with UK buyers to any great extent, largely due to Rover?s ambiguous positioning of the range somewhere above the Golf/Focus family hatch level and somewhere below the standard Ford Mondeo/Peugeot 406 medium range saloons.400未登记任何英国买家很大程度上由于罗孚?收盘范围定位不清某处以上高尔夫球/家庭焦点舱口某处低于标准水平和福特蒙迪欧/标致406中程发廊.
In order to offer better value for money, Rover repositioned the 45 series as a direct competitor to the Focus and Golf when it was launched in November 1999.为了提供更好的服务物有所值罗孚45系列定位为直接竞争对手的焦点和高尔夫1999年11月发射时. This meant that the Rover now offered levels of equipment, refinement and space that were among the class leaders rather than merely run of the mill.这意味着罗孚现在有水平的设备,细化和空间,各级领导者,而不是仅仅办了磨. Upon launch, the range consisted of five different engines, the two body styles and no fewer than eight different trim levels.经发射,射程由五个不同引擎两体风格和不下八个不同层次修剪.
The four-door saloon was available with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder unit, a 2.0-litre V6 and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine.四门球馆可与180公升四缸股,2.0升V6和一个2.0公升柴油涡轮引擎. The 1.8 and turbo diesel were available in Classic, Club and luxury Connoisseur trim, whereas the range-topping V6 was only offered in Club and Connoisseur variants.180、涡轮柴油均备有经典、豪华会所、鉴赏家修剪、而距离达V6导只是提供俱乐部和鉴赏家变种.
The five-door hatch range opened with the 1.4-litre 16-valve unit offered with base, E, S and L trims.五门开启与舱口射程140公升16气门单位提供与基地、电子、亿公升斩. The next engine, the 1.6-litre 16-valve offered S, L and XS whilst the 1.8-litre 16-valve was only available in XS and XL trim.下一发动机,1.6公升16阀优惠收盘,虽然L和最大Dmin一点八公升16气门仅为提供最大Dmin和XL修剪. The E, L and Xl trim levels were offered with the 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine.电子、L号和XL笔挺的2.0级80707公升柴油涡轮引擎. In summer 2002 MG Rover began offering an approved after market LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) conversion for 1.8-litre 45 models.在2002年夏季开始提供认可后毫克孚石油气市场(液化气)转换为1.8-45年公升型号.
The Spring of 2004 saw a radical facelift carried out across the 45 range.2004年春季全国开展一个激进整容45射程. The effect was agreeably modern, even if the underlying mechanicals remained as they were.现代欣然效果,即使他们仍机电背后. A new front bumper and grille were supplemented by twin lens headlamps and a revamped rear.新保险杠、前格栅和大灯均辅以双镜头整风的后方. In fact, it?s round the back where the changes are most pronounced, a rear lip spoiler and classy chromed Rover lettering across the car?s posterior being the most salient features.事实上,它?收盘回合背面最突出的变化是,后方唇破坏者和全国一流刻字铬孚汽车?收盘后作为最显着的特征. Then the GLi and GSi trim levels were introduced in December 2004, both features leather upholstery and comparatively low prices.然后成象及GSI浪级介绍2004年12月,双方皮革座垫、价格相对低廉的特点. In 2005, the 45 started pushing up the daisies as production ceased at Longbridge.2005年,45开始推daisies在longbridge停止生产.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Propping up the 45 range is the 103PS 1.4 and a 1.6-litre engine carried over from the 400 which have accounted for the majority of sales.扶范围是45一103ps1.4和1.6公升引擎已结转400销售占多数. For buyers with a little more to spend, there's also a 1.8-litre petrol option, plus of course that 2.0-litre V6.为买家提供多花,还有还有180公升汽油的选择,当然,加上2.0升V6导. Models with the 1.8-litre engine get the option of the Continuously Variable (CVT) 'Steptronic' automatic transmission system as seen on the MGF: this is standard on V6 variants.同型号180公升引擎得到选择的无级变速(无级变速)'steptronic自动传输系统上所见的函数:这是标准的V6导变种. Some of the most significant under-bonnet changes have been reserved for the 2.0-litre turbo diesel that a fair few 45 buyers have chosen.一些最重要的副头盖变化都预留了2.0公升柴油涡轮公平买家选择几个45年. It features a new high pressure injection system that does little for the 98bhp power output but much for the crucial torque curve, giving extraordinary pulling power through the gears.它展示了新的高压喷射系统,输出功率98bhp不多,但对许多关键性的扭矩曲线让平凡的拉动力,通过齿轮.
Inside, the changes are relatively minor, though there's a three-spoke rake-adjustable steering wheel with remote audio controls and a larger 45-litre airbag.车厢的变化相对轻微,虽然有三言耙可调方向盘遥控音响控制和较大的45公升气囊. Extra storage spaces are welcome, as are the redesigned seats (with optional side airbags at the front) fitted with height adjustment for the driver in most models.额外的存储空间都欢迎由于是重新设计席位(同方择气袋于前面)装有高度调整司机多数型号. At the back, there are rear head restraints and three-point seat belts for all three passengers.在后面,有头垫和后排三点安全带三位乘客. Much of these improvements are carried over from the smaller 25 and like that car, the 45 has redefined its role in life.这些都大大改善结转25像小车上45其作用已重新生活. Although aimed at the family hatch market, the saloons start at a more luxurious level than their hatchback cousins and include air conditioning, heated seats and a CD player in a long list of standard fitments.尽管针对家庭孵化场,晚上发廊的水平比他们更豪华hatchback表兄弟包括空调、在激烈的座位和光盘播放设备标准单子.
There's a new confidence about the product too, highlighted by a 3-year warranty and longer 15,000-mile service intervals on most models which can only be good news for the used buyer.最近又有新的产品太有信心,外形由3年延长保修和15000英里重播服务于最典型只能用来买了好消息. The emphasis for the 45 range is on quality and image, features not always readily on offer in this area of the market.重点范围是45月和图像质量,特色并不总是容易在这方面所提供的市场. This is why the dashboard plastics are a grade above what you would normally expect for a car of this class.这就是为什么有A级以上仪表塑胶您所预料此一车阶级. It's why there's wood trim in the cabin of even the cheapest models.这也是为什么有木浪甚至在船舱便宜型号. It's why the interior trim has been styled with such care (a choice of two-tone fabric or fabric/leather combinations).这也是为什么内政部已摆开这种修剪护理(可选择双音或织物面料/皮革组合). There's a range of pretty alloy wheels too, plus a selection of fresh colours, with availability depending on your choice between mainstream trim levels that vary in hatchback form from i to plushest iXL and, for saloons, from Classic to Connoisseur, grades first introduced for the 75.还有一系列的合金轮子太漂亮,另加挑选新鲜的颜色有了靠你抉择主流浪hatchback形成不同层次,从一靓ixl,为发廊,从古典到鉴赏家,首先推出的75年级.
On the safety front, there are seatbelt load limiters and new airbag deployment sensors, plus larger door mirrors.在安全方面,有安全气囊安全带负荷限制器和新部署的传感器,加上大门口镜子. Moreover, the new headlamps provide 60% more illumination and the new, bigger bumpers offer much better impact absorption.另外,新大灯提供照明和60%以上的新、保险杠提供更大更好的吸收冲击. All round crash integrity is also said to be improved and ABS is standard on all 1.6 and 1.8-litre models to stop you losing control in the first place.全能坠毁诚信也是说要改善和ABS的标准是对所有1.6和1.8公升型号阻止你失去控制在首位. Compared to its mainstream rivals, this car serves up more halcyon fare.相比其主流的对手,这有助于更多太平盛世车票价. It may not be at the cutting edge of technology but it?s a distinguished and surprisingly likeable proposition.不得在技术前沿但?而令人惊讶的是一名杰出的可爱命题.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
In relative terms, the Rover 45 hasn?t been as successful as its 25 and 75 siblings.相对而言,罗孚1945年~2003?已成功为25笔和75兄弟姐妹. Therefore, if you have a very specific requirement regarding model/specification/colour etc, you may have to hunt long and hard.因此,如果你有非常具体的规定模式/规格/颜色等,你可能要狩猎良久. Since BMW sold Rover, residual values have remained quite strong, the Rover range being buoyed by a wave of goodwill.罗孚卖给宝马以来,剩余价值仍然相当强劲,射程孚正被一股强劲的善意. Opening values are around the £3,800 mark for a 1.4i E five door or around £4,500 for a five-door 1.6i XS .开幕纪念价值大约为3800英镑的5门1.4i权证为4500英镑,或约5门1.6i最大Dmin. Insurance for the 45 series is eminently reasonable, starting at Group 8 and topping out at Group 12 for the four-door V6-engined cars.保险是非常合理的45系列,晚上8组12组在平顶四门V6导引擎汽车.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Rover 45, being largely based on proven Rover 400-series mechanicals has yet to show any significant failings.罗孚45,基本上是基于罗孚证实400系列机电仍未见任何重大失误. It?s a truism that it has also been bought by a large number of more mature customers.?不言而喻,收盘也买了一大批成熟客户. At the car?s launch, industry wags were heard to wonder whether the 25, 45 and 75 range designations were denoted the target age groups for each car.在轿车?收盘发射,听取业者怀疑舞动251945年75射程番号称谓对象年龄分别为每车. Given that this clientele are less likely to drive the 45 in the manner in which a Ford Focus or Peugeot 306 is often driven, which might waste the chassis development work that BMW undertook, but means good news for the used buyer.鉴于这是不太可能的客户带动了45哪种方式或福特焦点标致306往往驱动,这可能浪费底盘开发工作,宝马答应,但就是用买方的好消息. Check that the servicing work has been done, that there?s no accident damage and you should be able to land a decent car.检查维修工作已经完成,有?收盘无意外伤害和你应该能够找到一份象样的汽车.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx. based on 45 1.4 E) For most parts the prices are quite reasonable and worth the money.(约1945年4月1日基于五)对大部份的价格相当合理,物有所值. Expect to pay around £95 for a full clutch assembly, £160 for a starter motor, around £85 for a headlamp and up to £135 for a radiator.预期支付95英镑左右全部装配离合器、起动马达为160英镑,一英镑左右前照灯高达85135英镑的散热器. Brake pads should cost about £55 for the front and £50 for the rear.刹车皮要耗资大约55英镑,50英镑,前方后方.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The 45 drives with a greater air of authority, thanks to a whole series of BMW-engineered under-the-skin changes intended to imbue a sportier feel.45驱动用更大的威严,经过一系列宝马工程下的皮肤变化意图贯穿了sportier感觉. Rover reckons the entire 45 range should provide a sharper drive than the sportiest of the old 400s.预计1945年全路范围内应提供一个尖锐的旧传动比sportiest400s. This is quite a claim, particularly when you bear in mind that the engine line-up is virtually unchanged.这是相当索赔,尤其是当你忘记引擎列队是不变. Still, uprated springs and dampers, revised chassis settings and a power steering rack with faster gearing all give grounds for optimism.还有,新型干法阻尼和弹簧、修改场景和底盘动力转向齿轮齿条快给所有乐观的理由. Not that Rover buyers tend to have sporting priorities.不是说罗孚买主往往有运动重点. For them, the relatively minor tweaks under the bonnet will be of limited interest.对于他们来说,相对轻微tweaks下头盖将有限的利益.
OVERALL 总体
The Rover 45 isn?t the most technologically impressive or dynamically able car in its class.1945年罗孚霞?笔技术上最令人印象深刻的还是能动能车阶级. It doesn?t have bold styling or a slick interior.它没有?笔都大胆造型光滑或内政部. Compared to a Ford Focus, the 45 feels about seven years older ?相对于福特焦点,今年45七年以上感想? not surprising given its 400-series roots.难怪其400系列的根. If you feel that this makes it a bad car, then think again.如果你觉得这就坏车,然后再想一想. The 45 has a very specific blend of qualities which appeal to those with an appreciation of value and presence.45有非常具体的交融特质吸引那些欣赏价值和存在. On any objective measure you wouldn?t call the 45 class-leading, but as a used buy it scores in terms of value for money, charm and ease of use.任何客观衡量你wouldn?笔致电45级领导、但是作为一个用来买分数,在物有所值,魅力,好用. You?re getting a lot of metal for your money and it those conservative lines will date better than many more extremely styled rivals.你?重新获得了大量金钱,这是你的金属线将日期较保守的多极摆开对手. Given that many owners keep their 45s for a number of years, perhaps that?s no bad thing.鉴于不少业主保持二倍体了若干年,或许是什么?收盘不是坏事.
