Built from a shared source they have dominated the MPV division and of the three the Sharan is probably the best value.他们有一个共同的源头来自建成的巡逻艇为主的三师及润大概是最好的价值. It wasn?t until the launch of the second generation car in 2000 that the Spanish company really had an offering with its own distinct personality.它.其余?笔直到推出第二代汽车公司在2000年,西班牙提供了真正具有自己独特的个性. As a used buy it makes a lot of sense, but you may have to prise the keys out of the previous keeper?s grasp.作为用来买有点道理,但你可能要出钥匙价格呈前管家?收盘把握.
HISTORY历史
If it?s history you?re after, you?ve come to the right place.如果?你的历史吗?再后,你呢?味来到位. It?s said a fortress existed on the site of the modern day Alhambra near Granada since the 9th Century although it wasn?t until the 12th century and the arrival of the Nasrites that the Alhambra became a palace of kings.?收盘说要塞遗址存在于现今阿罕布拉近九世纪以来虽然格拉纳达.其余?笔直至12世纪的到来,nasrites阿罕布拉宫成为国王. The name Alhambra comes from an Arabic root which means "red or crimson castle", perhaps due to the hue of the towers and walls that surround the entire hill of La Sabica which by starlight is silver but by sunlight is transformed into gold.阿罕布拉名字来源于一个阿拉伯文根源即"红或绛红城堡"也许是因为墙壁的色彩和水塔,整个山包围中的镧sabica星光银金制成,而是由阳光.
Fast forward a few hundred years and we arrive in 1996 when SEAT launched their version of the Alhambra.快了几百年,而我们在1996年到来时,推出自己版本的阿罕布拉席位. Although not featuring ornate frescoes nor fountains it did put SEAT on the firmly MPV map via a joint collaboration with Volkswagen and Ford.虽然没有华丽的壁画也展出喷泉把它紧紧巡逻艇所在地的地图,并通过了联合协作福士福特. The second generation Alhambra range arrived in Britain in Summer 2000.二代阿罕布拉射程在2000年夏季抵达英国. This featured a 115bhp turbo diesel engine and a V6 petrol option was also offered.月末115bhp汽油涡轮柴油机和V6导还提供选择. With sleeker, more confident styling, the Alhambra had become more than a car for those who wanted a Ford Galaxy or a VW Sharan but couldn?t afford one.与装有,造型更加自信,阿多的汽车已成为那些想要一个福特银河64+15润但还是记不起来?笔负担之一. It was well worth having in its own right.这是值得拥有自己的权利. With a six-speed transmission on manual models the Alhambra is still probably the smartest buy amongst large MPVs.与6月手册型号的阿罕布拉传输速度仍可能买其中大型mpvs聪明. Summer 2003 saw the addition of a 130bhp TDI Alhambra, offered only in SE guise.2003年夏天,除了一项130bhpTDI的阿,只有在硒假借优惠.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Inside, the rather plasticky feel of the original model has been replaced by a more up-market atmosphere, with better quality plastics, a new steering wheel and nicer switchgear that leaves room for the obligatory optional satellite navigation system.内,而是plasticky感受到了原模型已改由较高档市场气氛以优质塑料新方向盘开关,并留下美好的强制择卫星导航系统. More practical improvements include retractable cupholders, extra map pockets in the doors and a pair of useful lidded cubbyholes on top of the dash.实事包括改善cupholders缩放、图门和额外的口袋一双有用封装cubbyholes之上的冲刺. This plusher atmosphere is important, for cheap and cheerful MPV customers are increasingly opting for mini-MPVs like Renault's Scenic.这车窗气氛很重要,对廉价、开朗巡逻艇客户选择越来越小mpvs喜欢雷诺的风景. Large models like the Alhambra must increasingly compete with executive cars.型号必须越来越像阿大跟车执行.
All models get air conditioning, ABS, twin front airbags, remote control central locking and electric front windows.所有型号得到空调、ABS的双锋气袋、遥控中央锁、电动窗门前. Plusher versions get side airbags, combination leather/alcantara upholstery and electronic climate control that you can operate front and rear.车窗气袋方得版本,结合皮革/阿尔坎塔拉座垫、电子气候控制,你可以操作前方和后方. There are also options like ESP (an Electronic Stability Programme that will automatically apply the brakes and reduce the throttle to get you out of trouble if you enter a corner too fast) or, more practically, a fridge.还有像期权除尘器(电子稳定方案,会自动刹车和油门减少了麻烦,如果你要进入一个角落,你太快),或更为务实,一个冰箱.
Unlike some boxier rivals, the Alhambra will only offer seven, rather than eight seats.不像有些boxier对手,阿罕布拉只能提供七而非八席. As an MPV buyer, you'll be looking for flexibility as well as sheer space.作为买方巡逻艇,就会找灵活性以及纯粹空间. So you?ll find, as before, that all of the seats can be folded down or unclipped and removed completely.这么好吗?当地找到一如既往,所有的座位可以折叠,并倒或夹闭完全拆除. In fact, the only difference this time round is that the removable chairs themselves have been redesigned, so should feel a lot more comfortable.事实上,唯一不同的是,这次自己也重新组合椅、所以应该感到舒服得多. Sadly, they're no lighter, so lugging them in and out remains a job not to be undertaken by the weak or faint-hearted.可悲的是,他们没有打火机,他们进出测井等工作仍然不能由弱或犹豫不决. The two front seats on some models can be swivelled round completely to face the rear - which is great for picnics and business meetings if you're stationary and there's only four in the car.两前座一些型号可以完全swivelled一轮面对后方--这是伟大的旅行和商务洽谈,如果你有固定的只有四个在车内. It's annoying however, that you still can't do the same with the middle set so that occupants behind the driver can face each other and talk on longer journeys.这恼人但是你还不能这样做一套,让住户与中间后面司机能够面对彼此谈更长旅程.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出

Better to stump up the additional cash for a 1.8-litre 20VT model which starts at around £9,700 in S trim or £10,400 in SE guise.新增了方寸,更好地为现金180公升20vt模式开始在9700英镑左右收盘修剪或假借硒在10,400英镑. The 2.8-litre V6 model in Sport trim is a very good-looking piece of kit and these open at around £12,500.280升V6导模型运动瘦身是很漂亮,这件套开12,500英镑左右. If you?re a little more practical, the 1.9-litre TDi PD model will probably be more to your liking.如果你?再一点实用,1.9升TDI的PD模型将可能更加中听. These kick off at £10,300 in S trim, again on the 2000 W plate, whilst an SE will command £11,500.这些明晚在10,300英镑收盘笔挺,2000年又对钨板,虽然现在的硒指挥11,500英镑.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么

Bear in mind too that most Alhambras will have been used by people not used to cars of this size.牢记太alhambras将大部分被人不习惯这种规模的汽车. It?s worth checking therefore for body scrapes and scuffed mirrors.?收盘为身体擦伤,因此值得查核胶合镜. Finally, check the condition of the rear seats; their frames may have been damaged by ill-judged removal attempts.最后,检查条件后座;他们可能已被破坏的帧判断试图拆除.

Behind the wheel, it's exactly like a medium range estate - only better, thanks to that high-seated driving position and the glassy cabin.后面的车轮,它的酷似中期领主只有更好由于高层次的地位和玻驾驶座舱. The biggest surprises, however, are reserved for the handling.最大的惊喜,但有预留处理. This MPV doesn't roll, pitch or wallow like many of its rivals.这并不巡逻艇滚、沥青或沉迷好象很多竞争对手. Nor do you need a period of acclimatisation before you can drive it quickly, as you would, for example, with a fashionable four-wheel drive.你也需要一段acclimatisation之前你可以驾驶它很快,你会,例如以时尚四轮驱动.
OVERALL 总体
SEAT has for quite some time been the recipient of quite a bit of smart money form UK consumers and the Alhambra is no exception.座位已被接收多时的1.93聪明屋消费者和阿罕布拉金钱形式也不例外. Arguably better looking than either the pricier Ford Galaxy or the Volkswagen Sharan, it makes a great used buy.寻找更好的价格较高或者说是比福特银河系或福士润,十分用来买. The pick of the bunch is probably the turbo diesel, but the 2.8-litre petrol is a blast as long as you don?t mind spending money on fuel bills.尖子目次大概涡轮柴油但280公升汽油爆炸是只要你鲍思?笔记花钱燃料法案.
