TOYOTA COROLLA (2001 - TO DATE)丰田Corolla(2001年至今)
The Toyota Corolla was for a very long time something of an enigma.丰田花冠是一段很长的时间有点像一个谜. How could this car land the title of World?s Best Selling Car whilst at the same time being thoroughly dull?这怎能轿车土地称号世界?汽车销售最好的同时彻底无味? The 1997 generation Corolla started to put a bit of substance behind the sales, but it wasn?t until the Mk 10 model appeared in late 2001 that Toyota genuinely had a car to be proud of.97代花冠开始付诸有点背后实质销售但这.其余?直到1910年示范笔队出现在2001年末,丰田汽车确实有值得骄傲. With excellent build quality and a range of top-notch engines, the Corolla put up a worthy challenge to cars like the Ford Focus and the Honda Civic.以优秀品质和建设的一系列顶尖发动机花冠贴出的挑战,值得像福特汽车和本田文娱焦点. With three and five door hatches, a saloon, a compact estate as well as Verso mini-MPV models, four trim levels and six engines to choose from choice isn?t a problem for Corolla buyers.三、五门舱口,一辆房、地产以及紧凑甘州小巡逻艇型号4、6级浪引擎选择选择肖国?笔问题花冠买家. Used car buyers benefit from Toyota?s peerless reputation for reliability and a market that hasn?t quite realised what a great car the Corolla is.用于购车得益于丰田?收盘无双美誉可靠性和独具特色的市场?笔相当变现的花冠车是什么伟大.
HISTORY历史
It has long been a Toyota tactic to carpet bomb the market with Corolla variants and the Mk 10 car was no exception.一贯手法,丰田花冠地毯市场炸弹变种队和1910年的汽车也不例外. Bar perhaps an open-topped roadster, Toyota seemed to blanket every possible corner of the family hatch sector possible with the Corolla from three-door hot hatch right up to five-door mini-MPV.也许吧不限突破跑车、丰田毯似乎每一个角落播出机构播出的家庭舱口花冠由3门热门舱口直到五门小型巡逻艇. What was different this time around was that the Corolla was a genuinely attractive car, a car which needed to appeal to both private buyers and the increasingly demanding corporate user-chooser.什么不同的是,这次是一个真正有吸引力花冠车其中一辆车都需要向私人买家的要求越来越高,企业用户选举人.
A new system of model designations was introduced when the car first appeared in late 2001.新制度实施时用模型车最早出现于2001年. Out went the usual S, GS, Sr and GLS trim levels a number of old Corollas had campaigned with and in came a ladder that went T2, T3, plush T Spirit and dynamic T Sport.来到了惯常的,一般,简谈GIS和一批老浪级corollas曾与奔走,并来到了梯子来到的T2、T3期、长毛绒笔笔体育精神与活力. Four petrol engines were offered starting with a 96bhp 1.4i, followed by a popular 110bhp 1.6-litre powerplant.4汽油发动机8070796bhp1.4i一开始,其次受欢迎110bhp1.6公升动力. Two 1.8-litre engines were offered, either in ?conventional?两个1.8-80707公升引擎,无论在?传统? 133bhp guise or in manic 189bhp T Sport tune.躁狂189bhp或133bhp打着体育笔调子. A pair of D4-D diesel engines were also offered in either 90 or 110bhp form.一双薪维柴油机还提供两种90或110bhp形式. Verso mini-MPVs hit the dealerships first, quickly followed by three and five door hatches with estates and saloons hot on their heels.甘州迷你mpvs命中经销商第一随后很快以3至5屋,发廊热门舱口对其低估.
Summer 2004 saw a major facelift brought to bear across the Corolla range.2004年夏天的一个主要承受整容全国花冠射程. A 89bhp 1.4-litre D4-D diesel replaced the 2.0-litre D4-D engine with the same output and styling revisions served to freshen up the exterior.一89bhp1.4-薪公升维取代柴油2.0公升的D4-四引擎与上年增产和造型修改外观送达即是说起来. The larger teardrop shaped headlamps were the most prominent addition.泪滴型较大,最突出的是除了大灯.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Designed in France, the latest Corolla is tightly priced from £10,800 and, having been designed with European tastes in mind, and delivers on both these fronts.法国设计,是最新的花冠定价从紧、10,800英镑、曾设计欧洲口味挂在心上,把对这些阵地. Like its rival, the Fiat Stilo, the Toyota?s styling does little to betray the parent company?s nationality, instead opting for the sort of clean, global village styling that many pundits would pigeonhole as Germanic.像其对手,菲亚特stilo、丰田?收盘造型无助母公司出卖?收盘国籍而选择那种干净、地球村造型,许多学者将作为日耳曼扣压. Not so.并非如此. Yes, there?s more than a hint of Audi A3 in the rear three-quarter view of the three-door variant and the interior is Teutonically dark: but then, we?re getting used to seeing that.不错,?收盘多一抹奥迪A3级的后方三季度由于3门变种和内政部teutonically黑暗是:但是,我们?再逐渐习惯看到. Modern car design now transcends national borders, and the Corolla is prima facie evidence.现代汽车设计是跨越国界、花冠表面证据.
Quality is the first area of improvement.质量是第一方面的改进. Toyota has quite unashamedly used the Volkswagen Golf as its quality benchmark and the cabin therefore features silicone-damped grab handles, soft-touch plastics on the fascia, enough rubber-lined recesses to put a twinkle in the eye of a back-bench Tory MP and doors that say thunk rather than ding when they close.丰田颇有彻头彻尾的福士高尔夫用来作为基准质量和特色,因此机舱硅阻尼抓斗柄,软塑料的触摸筋膜够橡胶内衬休会前提出一个闪亮的眼睛一补法官说,保守党和门丁咚而非当他们接近. Closer inspection shows little evidence of corner cutting.接近谷底的迹象表明检查切割. Although the steering wheel only adjusts for height, it?s easy to obtain a comfortable driving position and the sheer ease and intuitiveness of all the minor controls is a testament to Toyota?s understanding of how we interact with a car.虽然方向盘只能调节身高、?收盘容易取得舒适驾驶位置以及所有直观明目缓解轻微管制丰田就是最好的佐证.收盘了解如何互动汽车.
The Verso mini-MPV variant is interesting, with the usual five seater slide/tilt/remove capability for the rear seats, although some will doubtless baulk at the rather strange ?broken back?甘州的小巡逻艇有趣变种,其中五人座平日幻灯片/倾斜/取消后座力,虽然有些退缩无疑在相当奇怪?破回? styling last seen on the Alfa 75.在造型上看到α75. It also features a different fascia to the more mainstream models with a dash-mounted gearstick in the style of the Honda Stream.它还具有不同的筋膜较为主流模式与冲刺式风格的本田gearstick在流. Predictably it also includes a good deal more cubbyhole and stowage space.预料它也包括了大量存放空间,无底洞.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the most common hatchback Corollas start at £6,600 for a 1.4-litre T2 three-door on a 51-plate with the five-door car commanding an extra £175.价格最常见hatchbackcorollas开始为6600英镑一个1.4公升的T23月51大门板与五门轿车175英镑的额外指挥. An equivalent year T3 will hover at around £7,100 for a three-door car with a T-Spirit five-door fetching nearly £8,200.等于一年的T3将于7100英镑左右徘徊为期车门口的T精神五门取将近8200英镑.
If it?s choice you?re after, the big selling 1.6-litre model probably offers the richest pickings.如果?收盘选择你?再后,大卖1.6公升模式可能带来益发富有. These open at just under £7,300 in T2 three-door trim ranging up to £11,000 for an 04-plated five-door T-Spirit.这些开放略低于英镑7300年的T2三个门不等浪高达11000英镑,2004年为镀五门笔-精神. Add £400 if you don?t fancy changing gear yourself.加上400英镑,如果你鲍思?花式变化笔齿轮才行. The 1.8-litre T-Sport will command a sticker price of just over £9,000 again on the 51-plate.180公升笔-体育运动会指挥一贴9000英镑的价格略高于51月再次板. Diesel versions of the Corolla are well worth tracking down with both engines well up to snuff.柴油版本的花冠都值得追踪与引擎好了一截. Expect prices to start from £7,800 for a T2 with T Spirits priced from £9,200.预计价格从7800英镑的T2为从价与神笔9200英镑.
If you need a little extra utility, the Verso mini-MPV is a very worthwhile choice.如果你需要多赚点钱事业,甘州小型巡逻艇是一个非常有意义的选择. Underrated by many car buyers who instead opted for cheaper Xsara Picasso and Zafira models, the Verso starts at £7,400 for a 1.6-litre T2 with 1.8-litre power costing from £8,000.许多购车者不要低估选择便宜赛纳和毕加索zafira型号始于7400英镑的甘州为1.6-1.8公升的T2-电力价格从每公升8000英镑. The pick of the Corolla line up is arguably the 90bhp Verso 2.0-litre D-4D with prices starting at £7,800 on a 51 plate.排队上车的花冠说是90bhp甘州2.0公升四-四维以7800英镑的价格从51月板块.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Corolla has forged a reputation for monotonous reliability and while drivers of old Corollas may well have hoped in vain for a broken timing chain or an electrical fire to interrupt the car?s clockwork tedium, there?s no such issue with this version.花冠锻造了一支声誉的可靠性和单调而corollas老司机可能希望落空了时间链条断裂或电气火灾打断轿车?收盘发条无聊、?这个版本没有这样的问题. 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 T3) Although pitched a little above what you?d expect to fork out for Vauxhall or Ford spares, Toyota?s parts pricing policy has come under the microscope of late with the result that many prices have been frozen or reduced.(大约基于一条1.6五门的T3)虽然有点搭起以上您?预计四叉出路上还是福特备件、丰田?收盘零件价格政策来晚显微镜下的价格,致使许多已经冻结或削减. A clutch assembly will cost in the region of £130, whilst an exhaust is around £330.离合器装配了该地区将耗资130英镑,而排气约为3300. A new starter motor retails for around £150, although a replacement headlamp will be in the region of £200.新起动电机零售150英镑左右,虽然更换前照灯将在该地区200英镑. Repair costs have been kept down with a consequent effect on insurance premiums.修理费一直保持下来,因而影响了保险费.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Being a new design from the ground up, body stiffness is massively superior to its baggily shopworn predecessor.作为一个新设计从地面起来,身体僵硬是大规模优于其前身baggily承包商. Although the Corolla can?t deliver the aggressive handling of a Ford Focus, it nevertheless cosies up to the Golf and the Fiat Stilo in the go/stop/steer department.虽然花冠也?笔致侵略性的处理重点是福特、但截至cosies高尔夫球、菲亚特stilo在围棋/停止/督导部. Somewhat disappointingly for such an otherwise clean-sheet design, the engines have been lifted from the current Toyota team sheet.有点失望,否则这种清洁板设计,从目前的引擎已解除丰田队表. A 97bhp 1.4-litre opens negotiations, followed by a 110bhp 1.6 and a 135bhp 1.8.一97bhp1.4-公升开谈判,然后以一110bhp1.6和135bhp1.8. For the first time in years, performance enthusiasts have a Corolla worthy of their wedge with the 187bhp 1.8-litre flagship T Sport version.几年来的首次,表演爱好者有其值得楔花冠与187bhp1.8公升笔旗舰版体育运动. Those looking for a decent diesel are well served by two variants of the 2.0-litre common rail, offering up either 90bhp or a perky 110bhp.想找一份象样的四通八达的柴油两种变异的2.0公升共轨、要么提供了90bhp110bhp或perky.
The T Sport is worth a look if you can?t get along with a Civic Type-R and can?t stretch to a Ford RS Focus.体育是值得的笔如果你能看吗?笔相处文娱R型,可以吗?笔舒展了遥感福特焦点. The five-door option also means it can double up as viable family transport.五门的选择也意味着可以兼任可行家庭交通工具. The 1.8-litre powerplant is smaller than the 2.0-litre engine fitted to the Civic and despite its flatter feel, it generates a higher specific output, breaching the 100bhp per litre mark that?s such a benchmark for quality normally aspirated sports powerplants.<1.8-2.0公升动力小于公升发动机装配的公民,尽管谄媚感到它产生的具体产量更高、违反100bhp,每公升大关?通常这种基准质量收盘体育发电厂送气. Honda are slightly irked at being pipped to this by Toyota, but the fact remains that the Civic will hit 60mph in 6.8 seconds and the Corolla, well, it can?t.本田略做得太打破这一由丰田但那时的公民将达到6.8秒,60mph花冠,那么,它可以吗?汤匙 A combined fuel consumption figure of 34mpg is some recompense, but you don?t buy a car like this to watch the pennies.综合油耗数字是34mpg一些报偿,但你鲍思?笔买车这样观看便士.
OVERALL 总体
The Toyota Corolla is at last a car of which owners can be proud.丰田花冠终于拥有一辆汽车而引以为荣. It?s also quite an unusual range insofar as the ?halo model??收盘幅度也相当奇特至于?哈洛模式? designed to boost the range?s image ?为了刺激程?收盘形象? the T Sport ?体育的笔? probably the least convincing of the lot.或许最有说服力的地段. The best buy is definitely diesel and quite possibly the unsung Corolla Verso mini-MPV variant.最好买柴油及极可能是绝对的幕后花冠甘州小型巡逻艇变种. Whichever model you choose, expect matchless reliability and commonsense design.你选择哪一个模式,期望匹敌可靠性设计与常识. Excitement may be in short supply, but the Corolla more than makes up for a slight lack of charisma in other areas.激动可能供不应求,但比花冠稍微弥补缺乏魅力在其他领域. It?s a car that rewards you over time; a car that impresses you with small touches betraying a manic depth of engineering.?收盘时比你一辆车的奖励;一辆小切,你背叛了躁狂触及深工程. If you know cars you?ll appreciate quite what a solid used buy this Corolla represents.如果你知道你的汽车?当地颇为欣赏用来买什么了坚实花冠代表.
