HISTORY历史
When the Arosa was launched in September 1997, the British public was just coming round to the idea of super compact city cars.arosa当1997年9月展开,英国公众的想法,只是在下一轮超级紧凑的城市汽车. The Fiat Cinquecento had paved the way and the Ford Ka was, after initial public shock at its styling, beginning to sell in volume.菲亚特cinquecento铺路,是福特家,震惊之后的首次公开其造型、开始出售量. In many ways, SEAT were not entering this sector completely afresh, as the sub-basic SEAT Marbella, based on Fiat?s old Panda, had been their offering for years.在许多方面,座位并不完全重新进入这个行业,分基本席位马尔贝拉,基于菲亚特?收盘旧熊猫,他们已开办了多年. The Marbella, however, did not fit in with the Volkswagen Group?s ideas of what a SEAT should represent, and most are now enjoying their retirement on the Costa del Crime.马尔贝拉的,但不符合时代的大众汽车集团?收盘什么想法应该代表席位,现在最享受退休的柯斯塔del犯罪.
Upon launch, the Arosa range consisted of the 1.0 manual, boasting a hardly terrifying 50bhp, and the 1.4 litre from which it is said experienced drivers could extract 60bhp.经发射,射程arosa组成的1.0手册,复盖了几乎骇人50bhp,140公升,其中据说由资深司机可以提取60bhp. Shortly afterwards, in January 1998, the Arosa 1.7 SDi was launched with a manual gearbox and a 60bhp output from its tiny turbodiesel unit.紧接着,于1998年1月arosa七月一日推出的一个防御手册变速箱和输出60bhp从小小的turbodiesel股. This was for some time Britain?s most fuel-efficient car, returning 78.5mpg on the official EC combined test cycle.这一段时间,英国?收盘最节油汽车,就返回78.5mpg欧共体正式合并试周期.
March 1999 saw the arrival of S model designations for the 1.0, 1.4 and 1.7 litre cars, and for a short while a further SE designation.1999年3月见到到来收盘示范番号为1.0,1.4和1.7公升汽车并进一步作短时间硒称号. All this changed in early 2000, when SEAT rationalised the range, adding a 16V Sport model with a 100bhp 1.4 litre engine.这一切变化在2000年初,当座位合理化的射程,16v模型运动增添了100bhp四月一日公升引擎. The range then consisted of 1.0, 1.0S.1.4 S Auto, 1.7 SDi and 1.4 16V Sport.然后由1.0范围,1.0s.1.4美国汽车1.7及1.416v体育空间. In 2001 the range was facelifted with a restyled nose, tail and interior giving the Arosa more personality and better quality fittings to leapfrog the model ahead of the VW Lupo.在2001年的范围为facelifted以restyled鼻子内政部长尾巴和个性,让更多更好的优质配件arosa越级向示范先行的64+15lupo.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Surprising SEAT.奇怪席位. Okay, so the tagline may have been purloined from another manufacturer, but it?s a fact.还好,所以可能是偷自另一个金曲制造者,但?收盘事实. Anybody expecting the Arosa to be little more than a motorised Anderson shelter would be in for a vast shock.有人以为可以多arosa机动安德森将住房供了广阔的震动. The interior quality is deeply impressive.内政部品质深表赞叹. Whereas radio telescopes can pick up faint echoes of Fiat Seicento doors that were slammed three years ago, shut the door on an Arosa, and there?s a reassuring thunk, Like an Audi in fact.而射电望远镜可以拿起微弱回响菲亚特seicento门被捅3年前,关起门来在arosa、?收盘民心咚,其实像奥迪.
All models come fitted with power steering, making one wonder how we ever managed without it in days gone by.所有型号开装有助力转向,使一个不知道如何管理越来越没有亲自操刀. There?s also an adjustable steering wheel, driver?s airbag, face-off stereo and VW?s comprehensive 12-year bodyshell warranty.?收盘也可调方向盘、司机?收盘气囊、对峙、立体声64+15?收盘综合十二年bodyshell保修. There?s also the three year unlimited mileage warranty to factor into the equation.?收盘也无限里程保修3年来的因素计算在内.
There is just about enough space for four adults inside, but don?t expect to be able to carry their luggage with any great success.有四名成年人仅足够空间内,但鲍思?笔期待能与任何携带行李巨大成功. Nervous passengers are best sat in the front, as the rear seats can get worryingly close to traffic if it chooses to tailgate.神经乘客坐在最前排,由于担心后座均能如果选择靠近交通栏板.
The S variants received electric front windows, better quality upholstery, central locking and body coloured bumpers.收盘前电动窗收到了变异,优质座垫,体色保险杠、锁紧环. If you want to make a statement, a Neon Yellow 1.4 16V Sport is the model to plump for.如果你想发表一项声明,一月四日16v霓虹灯黄色运动为榜样肥美. This came with 14-inch alloy wheels, front spotlights, lowered suspension, a lairy exhaust, sports seats, dual airbags, a leather rimmed steering wheel and blue instrumentation.这是14英寸合金车轮,前面亮点,降低叫停,lairy排气、体育座位,双气袋,皮革镶边方向盘、蓝色仪器.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Used SEATs used to have a residual value which could easily be counted in peseta terms.用座位上有剩余价值,容易被计入西班牙比塞塔职权. Using one hand.用一只手. New models have changed all of that, and the Arosa is no exception.所有这一切都改变了新型号、arosa也不例外. £2,100 may not sound very much for a 1997 P plate car, but seeing as the 1.0 model retailed for only £6,850 new, it represents firm market action.2100英镑可能并不太大,为1997磷板车上但由于看到只有1.0英镑6850零售新模式,它是市场的坚定行动.

The 1.7 SDi is probably the most desirable Arosa around, and a 1998 R plate example of one of these should retail at around £2,600.170大概是最适宜的SDIarosa左右,1998住宅板块为例,其中有2600英镑左右应该零售. The newer 1.4 TDI oil-burner that debuted in 2001 will cost from £4,300 on an X-plate.较四月一日TDI的石油燃烧器,将在2001年亮相于4300英镑的代价,从X光片.

Swiss watches.瑞士手表. The sun rising tomorrow.明天的太阳. The Irish winning the Eurovision Song Contest.爱尔兰赢得欧洲电视台歌唱比赛. All of these pale compared to the reliability of VW Group products, and the Arosa is no exception.所有这些比起苍白64+15集团产品的可靠性、arosa也不例外. As many Arosas were purchased as post-driving test presents, check for parking bumps.正如许多arosas购买后考列,检查停车坎坷. On the 16V Sport model, ensure that the front tyres aren?t sizzled.关于16v运动模式,确保轮胎西哈莫尼阵线?sizzled笔.

The first impression upon driving the Arosa is of class-leading refinement.当驾驶的第一印象是arosa级领导细化. It may sound like a cliché, but it is one of those cars that genuinely does feel larger and more expensive than it is.听起来像陈词滥调,但其中的轿车,确实感受到较大和比它. You won?t feel the need to flog it to death around every corner, as even the 1.0 litre engines are reasonably relaxed.你赢了?笔感受到它需要拷死周围的每一个角落,因为即使是1.0公升引擎相当轻松. One of the reasons for this is that manufacturing that quality feel invokes a weight penalty, and the Arosa doesn?t have the playful puppy demeanour of Fiats?原因之一就在于制造质量感到援引一名体重处罚而arosa不惜?笔都活泼小狗风范议? Seicento.seicento.
The flipside of this is improved safety.这是一个铜板改善安全. The Arosa is eminently crash-proof, and provides such niceties as ISO-fix child seat mounting points so you won?t have to wrestle with seatbelts.arosa的绝对坠毁溜走,由于这种礼节提供等值儿童座位固定点安装等你赢?笔都煞安全带. The 1.7 litre turbodiesels are the most pleasant option, generating that great capability that only a small car with a relatively big engine can serve up.170公升turbodiesels是最愉快的选择发电能力很大,只有一小车发动机可较大幅度上升.

A carefully selected SEAT Arosa is, alongside the Ford Ka, the best value used buy in the supermini class.arosa是精心挑选了座位,随着家福特,买最好用的超小型类商品. Less costly than a VW Lupo, and more durable than a Fiat Seicento, the Arosa is a measured choice.64+15lupo便宜了,不是更耐用菲亚特seicento,arosa是衡量抉择.
