The Toyota Corolla has for some years now, enjoyed the title of World?s Best Selling Car.丰田花冠近数年,在世界享有所有权?最好卖的车. Unfortunately, it appeared that somebody had neglected to inform the thousands of buyers eager to sign on the dotted line that the Corolla wasn?t actually that good.可惜似乎有人忽视向成千上万的买家急于签订花冠.其余的虚线?其实笔好. Toyota put this right in 1997 with the eighth-generation of its chart-topping mid-ranger.丰田提出这一权利1997第八届代其图表-顶中旬测距. The Corolla could at last back the sales figures up with some pretty impressive substance.花冠的销量也终于回来了一些漂亮的印象物质. Though it could never be described as pretty, the Corolla now appealed to an even wider audience than before.虽然不能算是漂亮的花冠呼吁现在比以前更广泛的观众. Toyota had finally woken up to the fact that competitors had left the Corolla behind and did something about it.丰田终于醒悟到,对手已离开花冠后面,做了一些工作. A used Corolla from this era may lack charisma but it?s certainly not short on ability.花冠用了这个时代,但可能缺乏魅力?收盘绝非短期能力.
HISTORY历史
To criticise the way the Toyota Corolla turned out would be questioning the judgement of over twenty million customers.批评的方式将原来的丰田Corolla质疑判决超过二千万用户. Still, Toyota realised the car wasn?t good enough and through ?Kaizen?, the policy of continual improvement, the Corolla ingredients were analysed, re-evaluated and remixed to form the 1997 car.还有丰田汽车.其余变现?笔不好通过?一体?该政策的不断提高,花冠的成分进行分析,重新评价1997年形成汽车及混音. Bond villain-like, it carried on the tradition of global domination where its predecessor had left off, but in Britain we?ve never really warmed to the Corolla.债券小人样,它继承了传统统治全球942给他留下客,但是我们在英国?虚拟从未真正温暖的花冠. The attractions of rivals such as the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf have been too much, leaving the Corolla as something reserved for geriatrics and photocopier salesmen on the road to a constructive dismissal claim.海外对手如福特焦点,狂暴雅特和大众汽车高尔夫已经太多,离开花冠看成留给老人和复印机推销员之路建设性辞退索赔.
Toyota certainly wanted to cover all bases.丰田一定要涵盖所有基地. Upon launch in 1997, the eighth-generation Corolla boasted four body styles; a three-door hatchback, a four-door saloon, five-door liftback and an estate.发射后97年第八届代花冠捧四体风格;3门hatchback,4门球馆、五、地产liftback大门. Three engines were available, two petrol and one diesel powered.三个引擎可坐,其中汽油和柴油两种. The petrol engines were of 1.3 and 1.6-litre capacity and developed 85 and 109bhp respectively.汽油发动机分别1.3和1.6公升109bhp85和开发能力. The diesel was a 2.0-litre unit, developing 71bhp.柴油是2.0公升单位,开发71bhp. In October 1998, new trim levels were announced.1998年10月公布了新层次修剪. The previous Sportif models were redesignated as S models, and a GLS model was introduced, to sit just above the GL specification.上次sportif模型游收盘模式,以及模式谈GIS介绍坐在上方的规格化验. Since then there have been a number of special edition models introduced, the most significant being the sporting Corolla G6R, a 1.6 G6 model with bigger wheels, more aggressive body styling parts and a leather interior.此后有一批模范专辑介绍最重要的是体育花冠g6r,一条1.6模型与通信处较大车轮体造型更加咄咄逼人零部件皮革内政部. This model quickly sold all of the 462 UK cars that were put up for sale.这种模式很快全部售出了462人,英国的汽车推出.
The biggest change to this model Corolla came in early 2000, when it adopted a similar face to the Avensis.这一模式最大的改变花冠来到2000年初,当它通过一个类似的avensis面. This Toyota ?family?本丰田?家庭? look is less distinctive than the previous styling achievement, but the Corolla range was strengthened in a number of ways.看看,比以前少造型独特成就,但射程花冠在多方面加强了. The four-door saloon body shape was deleted, the 1.3-litre engine was dropped in favour of a 1.4-litre unit with variable valve timing (VVT-i) and a new 1.6-litre VVT-i engine was also introduced.四门球馆体型已删除,130公升引擎赞成降低了1.4-股公升可变气门(可变气门定时-I)和新1.6公升可变气门定时我也介绍发动机. The diesel versions received a 1.9-litre engine capable of 52mpg, a unit that only lasted until the end of the year when it was replaced by the 2.0-litre D4-D common rail turbo diesel from the larger Avensis.柴油版本收到了1.9公升引擎能52mpg,一个单位,仅持续到今年年底时,它取代了2.0升的D4维共轨涡轮柴油从avensis较大. Interiors were spruced up, the body was made stiffer to help handling and the trim levels were rationalised.腹地被市容起来,帮助处理尸体作了严厉的修剪水平和重整. Four designations were decided upon ?四番号分别决定? S, GS, SR and GLS.收盘,一般,简并谈GIS. By keeping the basic look ostensibly similar, Toyota had unveiled a brand-new ninth-generation Corolla via the back door.从表面保持基本相似,丰田曾公布一项全新第九次代花冠经由后门. The look was far from similar when Toyota rolled out this car?s successor at the end of 2001.面貌相似,当远丰田汽车推出这种?截至2001年底收盘接班人. With sharply chiselled looks, the Corolla had been brought up to speed in the one area it had always been deficient ?看来锐桌椅、花冠的速度已经长大了,我们一直缺乏一个领域? sharp styling.锐利造型.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The eighth-generation Corolla was designed with the European market in mind and it shows.八代花冠设计与欧洲市场的想法,显示. The exterior styling is far less bland than previous models, although the overall effect is more ?surprised frog?外观造型比以前少得多平淡型号,虽然整体效果比较?青蛙惊讶吗? than Euro-sexy.比欧元性感. The development of the Corolla World Rally Car helped to add a bit more credibility to the product line, although the Corolla never really campaigned as a driver?s car.世界发展的花冠车游行有助于补充一点信誉的产品线,虽然从未真正奔走花冠作为一名司机?收盘轿车. Inside the cabin, ergonomics are quietly excellent, and the trim is slightly brighter than might be expected from a Toyota.机舱内,正悄然工效优良、浪比预料可能会稍微阳光从丰田. The high-mounted RDS radio cassette player is a nice touch, while the honeycomb-patterned dials are further evidence of Toyota?s new-found trendiness.高登是一个漂亮的铁路收录机摸虽然蜂窝纹先拨正进一步证明丰田?收盘新创的时尚. There?s plenty of space too ??收盘很多空间吗? even in the three-door hatch ?即使在三舱口大门? though with three adults in the back, it?s still a bit of a squash.虽然有三名成年人在后面呢?收盘仍有点像壁球.
Aircon aside, equipment levels are fairly comprehensive, too.aircon一旁,装备水平是相当全面,太. As you?d expect on a mid-sized family hatch, power steering is standard, as well as central locking and a height adjustable steering wheel and driver?s seat.如你?四指望了大中型舱口家庭、动力转向是标准以及中央锁紧和高度可调方向盘、司机?收盘座位. Safety?s a strong point too, with twin airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and three-point centre rear seatbelts fitted across the range.安全?收盘点太强烈,双气袋、安全带预张紧装置和三点全院后座安全带安装范围. The steering system provides more feel than previous models, while the re-tuned suspension set-up improves ride comfort.督导制度提供比以往更加感受到型号,而重新调谐暂停设置好转平顺. Much attention has also been given to sound insulation, to cut down both engine and road noise.还有重视隔音、降低噪音及道路均引擎. All models were fairly well equipped, but only the G6R limited edition was in any way special.所有型号都相当精良,但只有g6r限量是丝毫特殊. Standard fare included electric front windows, electric heated door mirrors, air conditioning, a CD player, remote central locking, electric sunroof and remote releases for the fuel flap and rear hatch.收费标准包括电动窗门前,电动门镜加热、空调、影音播放、远程锁紧环、电动天窗和边远发布的燃料瓣和后方舱口. Leather seats with red stitching were fitted and the G6R came complete with both driver and passenger airbags, ABS, seatbelt pre-tensioners and beefy disc brakes.座位均安装有红色皮革拼接g6r来到人迹罕至的司机及乘客气袋两个、ABS的,安全带预张紧刹车碟、牙.
Perhaps the most significant thing about the eighth-generation Corolla however, is the fact that though initial cars were shipped from Japan, from the start of 1999, this model, like its larger Avensis stablemate, was built at Toyota?s Burnaston factory in Derbyshire.或许最重要的一点八届代花冠但是虽然是初次车被运到日本,从1999年开始,这个模型像其较大avensisstablemate始建于丰田?收盘burnaston厂德比.

The 1.6-litre cars are a better bet, and a 1.6 GS will retail for around £200 more than its 1.3 equivalent.160公升车更好打赌,一般将供零售和一条1.6英镑左右200多名十三同等学历.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Saw a Corolla in half and it?s likely to have the words ?Boringly Reliable?看到一个半和花冠吗?收盘可能有字?boringly靠得住? written through it like a stick of rock.它像一根棍子,通过书面岩石. It?s so rugged and well-built you could probably drive home in either of the two halves as well.?收盘凹凸不平和愚蠢建你可能在两种边等. As long as the service records have been properly adhered to, it?s difficult to imagine a more trouble-free car in its class ?只要坚持正确的服务纪录已,?收盘难以想象更畅通车阶级? a testament to both Toyota and the workers at its Derbyshire factory.遗书丰田和职工双方的德比工厂.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1.6 five-door Liftback) Toyota parts once had a reputation for costliness, but whilst they are a bit pricier than Ford or Vauxhall, spares are by no means exorbitant.(大约基于一条1.65门liftback)丰田零件曾经赢得费用等虽然价格较高,但他们有点比福特或狂暴、备件之用,并不昂贵. A clutch assembly will cost in the region of £90, whilst an exhaust is around £350.一个大会会使该地区离合器英镑90,350英镑左右,而排气. A new starter motor retails for around £135, and a replacement headlamp will be in the region of £140.新起动电机零售135英镑左右,而取代前照灯将在该地区140英镑. The ninth-generation cars have made a feature of cheap crash repairs.第九一代车有一个特点,便宜坠毁修理. Replacement of front and rear crash parts is now cheaper with the Corolla (£480) compared to rivals such as the Peugeot 306 (£612) and the Honda Civic (£590).更换零部件正前方和后方坠毁便宜的花冠(480英镑)等竞争对手相比,标致306(612英镑)和本田公民(590英镑).
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Reliability aside, the Corolla gets above average marks in most areas without conspicuously excelling anywhere.可靠性之外,花冠获得高于平均分数大部分地区没有显眼地方不凡. Its driving characteristics are perhaps its weakest attribute.其驾驶特点是它也许最弱属性. Despite the ?halo effect?尽管?光环效应? of the fearsome Toyota Corolla World Rally Car, don?t be deceived into thinking you can emulate the rally drivers?惊心动魄的丰田Corolla轿车全球集会、顿河?笔被蒙骗的思想你可以借鉴校庆司机? sideways antics in a road going Corolla.侧身一路走花冠点滴. The only ?sideways?唯一?横着? involved with these models is in skilfully manoeuvring a shopping trolley alongside one in Sainsbury?s car park.这些模型是在涉及操纵娴熟购物小车旁边一个塞恩斯伯里?收盘停车场. Although the eighth-generation cars improved the steering feel and suspension set-up no end over the previous car, handling attributes are usually damned with faint praise.虽然名列第八督导感受及改善发电车暂停设置没有尽头比前车处理属性与通常被诅咒微弱捧场. Noise and vibration are well suppressed, and only in the G6 and G6R models will the driver?s pulse rise above a resting pace.噪音和震动都压抑只有在通信处,司机将g6r型号?收盘脉速度超越了休息.
The ninth generation cars are slightly better.第九一代车要好. The adoption of variable valve timing (VVT-i) technology to the two petrol engines has paid dividends.采用可变气门(可变气门定时-一)技术的汽油发动机先后两次分红. The system aims to increase pulling power (so fewer gearchanges are needed), improve fuel consumption and lower harmful emissions.该系统旨在提高拉动力(gearchanges需要这么少),提高油耗降低有害气体. It also makes the engines strong performers: about 15% better than the average competitor in the class.它也使得引擎强劲演员:约15%,平均比竞争对手上课. Hence even the 95bhp 1.4 makes sixty in 11.8s on the way to 115mph.因而使得60年4月1日连95bhp11.8s115mph的途径. The 1.6 meanwhile manages 9.8s and 121mph.与此同时,1609.8s管理121mph.
OVERALL 总体
If a car?s purpose is to transport you from A to B with faultless reliability, a minimum of fuss and a modicum of comfort, it?s hard to find fault with a used Toyota Corolla.如果汽车?您的目的是为了从运输到乙与可靠性无可挑剔,最低做文章,稍有安慰,它?收盘很难用挑剔的丰田Corolla. However, modern cars are now so excellent that manufacturers increasingly differentiate themselves in terms of style and the statement the car makes about the driver.现代汽车厂商正以越来越出色,在风格和区分自己的声明使得对汽车司机. The Corolla is perhaps the ultimate expression of the car as a domestic appliance.也许是花冠的最终体现,作为国内汽车家电. If this matters not a jot, a used Corolla is highly recommended.如果这事不是一个记录,用花冠是推崇. After all, can 23 million people be wrong?毕竟,2300万人可以得到什么?
