With its cheeky looks, park anywhere ability, surprisingly zippy acceleration and low running costs, these cars have sold very well to those who don?t major on practicality.它看起来温馨、停车能力、运行成本低、加速出乎意料zippy,这些车很好卖者鲍思?笔重大实践性. Now that used models are available in reasonable numbers it?s tempting to take the plunge.如今,在合理利用现有型号的数字吗?收盘诱人采取滑落. Here are some guidelines.以下是一些指引.
HISTORY历史
The Smart City Cabrio open top car, based on the smart & passion trim level was unveiled in March 2000, with British orders starting in April 2001.cabrio开城顶聪明车基于智能水平与激情揭幕浪2000年32001年4月起,英国命令. Right hand drive versions were introduced to the UK in autumn 2001, but the CDi diesel version has yet to appear, having been on sale in Europe since December 1999.右驾驶版本介绍英国在秋天2001年但课程柴油版尚未出现,已自1999年12月在欧洲销售. In summer 2002 the Smart crossblade debuted, a chopped down version of the cabriolet with a distinctly big price - £15,990 ?2002年夏天聪明crossblade亮相,砍了一版以显着的大cabriolet价格15,990英镑? and designed for those with big egos.而专为那些大自我. A Brabus version of the cabrio was unveiled toward the end of 2003 with a 74bhp engine and a styling kit that managed to make the car look even squarer.cabrio之子的一个版本是在2003年底出台了74bhp引擎,并设法使套造型看车即使平方.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Assuming you like the idea of peeling back the roof in an urban traffic jam, would you really want one of these?假设你喜欢在屋顶剥回市区塞车你真想其中之一? Well yes, you very well might.也是有的,你可能很好. For a start, the electrically-folding roof is very cleverly designed, fully justifying the £2,000 premium over the equivalent Fortwo Coupe.一开始,电动折叠屋顶很巧妙设计,充分证明了保费两千英镑相当于瘟采伐. There are three roof removal options and you can set it to any position you want while the car is in motion with a flick of a switch.屋顶有三个选择,你可以将它清除到你想要的任何位置,而同车的一刹那间启动了开关. You can also lower the electrically locked rearmost roof section.您也可以降低屋顶节步足电锁. Just remove the roof columns and store them in the special area provided on the inside of the boot lid.刚刚拆除屋顶栏目,存放在特别规定的范围内的行李箱盖子.
Safety was a key development priority and here, the Smart claims to better all its citycar rivals, offering safety standards comparable with a mid-range family saloon.安全是发展的重点和关键在这里,所有的智能债权更好citycar对手,提供一个安全标准与中程家庭房. The steel passenger cell retains its shape in the event of a collision and reduces the effect of impact to a minimum.电池维持其形状客运钢在发生碰撞的效果,减少冲击降至最低. Other safety elements include the sandwich platform construction, front and rear crash boxes and a crash management system.其他安全要素包括夹心平台建设,前方和后方的箱子坠机失事管理制度. To avoid a crash in the first place, there?s ?Trustplus?, an electronic stability programme which reduces power and applies gear intervention to correct the car if it swerves.避免坠毁在首位,有吗?收盘?trustplus?、电子及电力稳定方案既减少干预,纠正汽车齿轮适用如果swerves. Twin front airbags, ABS, self-tensioning seatbelts, knee impact bolsters and a collapsible steering column are all standard, and the Smart rated highly in recent Euro-NCAP crash tests.孪生战线气袋、ABS的自我张紧安全带、膝、枕冲击陷督导栏都是标准、并高度评价中国在近聪明欧洲ncap碰撞测试.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Leaving aside the special edition models and it?s apparent that there are three specific ?types?撇开专辑型号及?具体说,有三个明显的?类型? of Smart City Cabrio available; the initial run of 600cc left hand drive cars, the officially imported right hand drive 600 cc cars and the latter 700cc models.聪明市cabrio可用;开办初期左手径流量的汽车、正式进口的右驾驶汽车和600完工后回升型号. Prices start at around £4,200 for a 2000 X plated left hand drive smart and passion with right hand drive models starting at just over £5,300.大约为4200英镑的价格从2000年十大镀左驾驶与右驾驶的聪明和激情型号晚上刚刚超过5300英镑. Opt instead for one of the more desirable 700cc cars and you?ll need to find at least £5,900.而选择一个较为理想的肥车,你呢?当地需要找到至少5900英镑. Most models were rated at insurance Group 4-5 although the 74bhp Brabus model gets clobbered into Group 9.最典型的保险集团于四月五日被评为虽然74bhp之子模型得到冲击成组9.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Early left hand drive models have been known to suffer from broken rear screens.早期左驾驶模式已经打破后方知患帘. Under certain circumstances it can shatter due to the glass failing to cope with the heat generated by the heating element.在某些情况下能打破玻璃因未能配合加热元件所产生的热量. The problem lies in the shape of the element and on newer models the design is changed from a horizontal layout to one where the bars are turned up at the end to resemble a letter ?U?.问题在于造型元素和型号设计是从卧式布置一个到过那里的酒吧都结束了一封信给象?美?. Existing owners can have the modified screen fitted under warranty by an authorised dealer if the screen breaks, but many won?t want to wait.现有车主可以安装在改良屏幕保修如获授权经销商屏幕休息,但许多获胜?笔想等待. Best to buy one with the new style screen already fitted.买一个最好的新风尚已安装屏幕. Smarts are also known to leak through the rear hatch, the rear windscreen wiper motor resting against a rubber strip and deforming it.智慧也叫泄漏通过后方舱口,汽车挡风玻璃雨刮后方休息针对地带和橡胶变形. This happens to most models so don?t think a slightly damp hatch is anything too serious.这恰恰最典型鲍思?笔觉得稍微潮湿舱口什么太严重. The City Cabrio has been in production long enough now for many of these teething troubles to have been ironed out and the later 700cc cars have proven very reliable.全市cabrio已经够长,现在许多生产这些短暂的麻烦已解决,后来都证明非常可靠散车.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on 2002 City Cabrio) Despite the ?premium?(大约2002年的城市基础cabrio)尽管?保费? feel of Smart products, spares are surprisingly affordable.感觉智能产品、零部件都出乎意料得起. A new clutch assembly retails for a fairly reasonable £165, and an exhaust system costs about the same.新离合器装配有一个比较合理的零售165英镑,而排气系统的成本大致相同. Front brake pads are only around £25, which given that they?re about the size of a matchbox would seem about right.前刹车皮只左右英镑25其中给予他们?再一个火柴盒般大小,似乎恰到好处. Rear pads are a bit pricier at approaching £60.港口后方有一点英镑价格较高,在临近60. An alternator is £140 and a starter motor a mere £90, whilst a headlamp can be bought for £70.一个是发电机起动电机、英镑140英镑,仅1990年,虽然对于英镑可以买到一前照灯70.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The driver gets a 6-speed clutchless and sequential gearbox (just like the saloon car racers): you simply push up to go up the gearbox and down to go down.司机拿到6-clutchless速变速箱和顺序(就像轿车赛车):你干脆推升的变速箱,下至走低. Easy in theory, but it tends to take a little practice before you get the hang of seamless up and down changing.易理论但往往在你需要一点实践中冲出浑然一体的起伏变化. You shouldn?t get any Michael Schumacher ideas though ?你不应当?迈克尔舒马赫获得任何想法虽然笔? this is merely an urban runabout ?这只是一个城市runabout? though the tiny three-cylinder 698cc turbocharged engine of the later models does its best.虽然小小三增压发动机汽缸698cc的型号稍后也最好. It isn?t just that the performance is so limited (rest to sixty takes 16.8 seconds on the way to an artificially limited top speed of 85mph).它肖国?笔只是表现如此有限公司(8月16日休息60秒就以一人为限地顶速度85mph). You?re also pretty restricted on luggage space and of course, there?s only room for two people.你?关于行李限重又漂亮的空间,当然有?只有两个人的空间. As you might expect, fuel economy is dazzlingly good (expect at least 60mpg on a regular basis) and if you?re willing to unleash the exhibitionist in you and park it nose in to the kerb, you?ll draw more stares than a Ferrari parked in the next bay.正如你可能期望燃油经济性好,是耀眼(预计至少有定期60mpg)如果你吗?愿意重新焕发在你的裸露的鼻子和它的缘园、你?当地吸引更多紧盯比法拉利停在下一湾.
OVERALL 总体
Yes, you can buy bigger and quicker convertibles for less, but if you want a car that feels like a piece of automotive jewellery, there?s little to touch the Smart City Cabrio.是的,你可以买到更大更快convertibles少、但是如果你想要一辆汽车,感觉好像一块珠宝?聪明的小触摸市cabrio. We?d opt for the added zip of the 700cc engine but even if you can?t run to this you?ll end up with a car that?s something out of the ordinary.我们?四选择拉链的急速增加发动机但即使你能吗?笔来说这是什么?当地落得车?收盘一件非同寻常.
