TOYOTA PASEO (1996- TO 1999)丰田的Paseo(1996年-1999年)
Even the most ardent Toyota fan wouldn?t argue with the fact that the Paseo wasn?t overly successful in the UK.即使是最纯朴丰田范wouldn?笔争辩的事实.其余的Paseo?笔过于成功一目了然. In fact, sales were decimated by more diverting rivals such as the Renault Megane Coupe.事实上,销量锐减的对手更挪用雷诺megane采伐等. For the used buyer this appeals in two ways.对买方使用本上诉两种. Firstly, residuals won?t stand up as well, making this Toyota a relatively inexpensive used buy.首先,残值获胜?笔站起也是丰田这次买了用比较低廉. Secondly, you will also gain some semblance of exclusivity.其次,你也会得到平息排他性. Think about it.敢想. When was the last time you saw one coming the other way?当最后一次被人看见你的未来会如何? With all of the traditional benefits of the Toyota ownership package, maybe the Paseo deserves a second chance?与所有的传统利益,丰田拥有整套,也许值得的Paseo第二次机会?
HISTORY历史
The Paseo was a model that had sold reasonably well in other markets, most notably the US.的Paseo是一个相当好的模式已经卖给其他市场,尤其是美国. Loosely based on the Tercel saloon, its introduction to the UK coincided with a global restyle, so in effect we were getting a second-generation Paseo.松手基于雄鹰球馆,引进到英国,正值全球restyle,所以实际上我们都拿到了第二代的Paseo. In 1996, traditionally undemanding rivals such as the Honda Civic coupe and Nissan 100NX were being blown out of the sales charts by the Renault Megane Coupe, the Hyundai Coupe and the Vauxhall Tigra.1996年本田等传统对手一般化的公民被采伐和尼桑100nx吹出来的销售图表雷诺megane采伐、韩国现代和狂暴tigra采伐. In a sink or swim market, the Paseo rapidly adopted brick-like tendencies.在下沉或游泳场,通过快速的Paseo砖状倾向. Aimed at younger buyers, the Paseo never had the driver appeal of the Megane, the sexy styling of the Hyundai or the cuteness of the female-friendly Tigra.针对年轻买家的Paseo从未司机上诉的megane,<现代造型的性感的女cuteness或友善tigra.
Two models were available at launch, both sharing the same 1.5-litre engine, developing an underwhelming 89bhp.两款售价分别推出,同时分享1.5升发动机,开发了underwhelming89bhp. The ST was the entry-level model, with the usual budget coupe accoutrements, and there was a slightly better equipped Si model.圣的入门级模式,与平日随身预算采伐、还有一个略胜配备泗模式. In 1997 a Galliano Limited Edition was sold between April and October, recognisable by its retina-searing yellow paintwork.1997年被卖给了加里亚诺限量四月至十月,辨认其视网膜流黄色油漆. The ST model was discontinued at the same time as the Galliano, leaving only the 1.5 Si to plough its lonely furrow until it too met the grim reaper in 1999.圣中断模式在同一时间的加里亚诺,只留下自己孤独耙1.5泗沟直到遇到过的严峻收割机1999.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Paseo is a tidily styled, if somewhat bland little coupe.入禀摆开的Paseo是,如果有点平淡有点采伐. The overall effect is of a slightly sleeker and less butch Rover 200 coupe.整体效果都来得少批量孚装有200采伐. Standard equipment was nothing special, and the interiors were the usual Toyota fare of uninspired plastics and trim materials.没什么特别的标准装备、腹地通常被丰田票价新意塑胶材料和修剪. Electric front windows, removable glass sunroof, twin airbags and an alarm immobiliser were all standard equipment on the ST version.电动窗前面,拆除玻璃天窗,双气袋、防盗报警设备均为标准版的圣. The Si version added a rear spoiler, alloy wheels and a Sony CD system.四版增加了后方的破坏者,合金轮子和索尼影音系统.
Showroom appeal was always a problem with the Paseo, especially with the Hyundai Coupe and Renault Megane Coupe ranges offering better targeted and marketed products.陈列室一直呼吁的Paseo问题,特别是随着现代采伐和雷诺megane采伐靶场提供更好的产品和销售对象. However, the Paseo shares one characteristic with both of these models ?但是,股票的Paseo这些型号既有特色之一? the styling has not aged very gracefully.没有年龄的造型很风度.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Obscure models with weak images usually result in high depreciation and the Paseo is no exception.通常导致图像模糊模式与弱、高折旧的Paseo也不例外. Many dealers will be left scratching their heads before thumbing their trade price guides to work out what to pay for one.许多经销商将留给跌破头前翻翻贸易指南制定何种价格支付. An early Paseo ST on 1996 N-plates can be picked up for around £2,300, with even the final 1997 P-registered cars going for £2,600.早在1996年的Paseo圣氮板可拾2300英镑左右,1997年的最后甚至与磷注册车前往2600英镑. The Si model is worth around £200 more, with the last of these cars, a 1998 R-plated edition, reaching around £3,100.硅模型是英镑200元左右,与去年的000辆,1998年住宅镀版达到3100英镑左右. Due to their rarity, it may be a long while before the car you want is available, and Toyota franchised dealers are probably the best method of sourcing an honest example.由于其罕见,可能是一个漫长而前车你想面世丰田专利经销商的最好方法大概寻觅一位诚实榜样. Insurance for the Paseo is extremely reasonable, with the ST rated at Group 6, and the Si at Group 7.保险的Paseo非常合理,与ST额定集团六日下午四组和7.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
One area where the Paseo scores well is reliability.一个领域的Paseo可靠性好成绩. It never appealed to the sort of hard-charging driver who?d lust after a Megane Coupe 16v, nor did Toyota?s notion of marketing it to a younger audience pay off.它从不呼吁那种硬充电司机?四色欲采伐后megane16v、丰田也没有吗?它的营销理念的年轻听众还清. Most Paseos were bought by middle-aged ?empty-nester?最paseos购买了中年?空巢? customers who appreciated reliability and a benign nature.可靠性和良好的顾客欣赏大自然. This particular coupe served those particular qualities up in spades.这项服务的特定品质采伐锹起来. As such it makes a safe used buy.这样不但可以用来购买安全. Look for a full service history and buy knowing that somebody else took the financial hit from the Paseo?s steep initial depreciation.找一个充满历史、服务明知他人代为购买金融内忧外患的Paseo?陡峭的初始折旧.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1998 1.5 Si) As one of the lower volume sellers in the Toyota range, the Paseo has some parts prices that are reasonably steep.(1998年5月1日大约基于硅)属低量范围内销售的丰田、有部分的Paseo价格合理陡峭. A new exhaust system is nearly £500, whilst an alternator is around £375.新排气系统近500英镑,而一个发电机约为375英镑. Not the most expensive around, but nonetheless nearing the top of the price range for a budget coupe.不是最贵左右,然而接近顶部的发售价预算采伐. Fortunately other parts prices are more affordable.幸好其他零件价格较为便宜. A new radiator or a new starter motor both retail at around £230, whilst a new clutch assembly is about £175.新散热器起动马达或新零售230英镑左右,虽然是一个新的离合器组装175英镑左右. Front brake pads are £40, and rear shoes are about £35 a pair.前刹车皮是40英镑,后面一双皮鞋约35英镑. Those narrow headlamp units are a mere £90 each to replace ?这些单位都只是狭义前照灯九十元取代英镑吗? a lot cheaper than many more mainstream rivals.主流便宜多了很多竞争对手.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Part of the fun of a sports coupe is agile handling, and the Paseo plays the part reasonably well.竞技体育的一部分,是敏捷办理采伐、合理的Paseo扮演部分. It is an enjoyable car on a twisting road, and its benign handling characteristics make for added safety in emergency manoeuvring situations.这是一个愉快的车扭道其特点作补充良性处理紧急安全运转情况. Push harder and the little Toyota starts to show its more humble origins.推进力度不大,丰田开始显示其出身更卑微.
Torque steer, often a problem in sporty front-wheel drive cars, is not a problem here due in no small part to the modest power output.扭矩引导,往往出现问题潇洒前轮驱动车这里不是问题归功于谦虚的输出功率. Ride comfort is not compromised for handling, and good shock damping, low levels of wind noise, decent soundproofing, and good luggage capacity for two make the Paseo a good A-road cruiser or commuter.平顺不会处理,冲击阻尼好、噪音低风、体面隔音、两个能力和良好的行李作一个良好的Paseo路巡洋舰或通勤.
The 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine is a 16-valve unit tuned for torque and flexibility rather than maximum power, endowing the car with a languid nature.1.5升4缸发动机是16气门单位收看扭矩和灵活性而非最高权力大自然赋予轿车以想望. Despite this, there was never an automatic gearbox option for UK buyers ?尽管如此,也未曾有自动变速箱选择英国买家? this would have made a fine accompaniment to the relaxed Paseo.此举取得了良好的Paseo伴奏的轻松.
OVERALL 总体
It goes without saying that many of the Paseo?s rivals hold more instant allure.不言而喻,许多的Paseo?收盘对手进行更即时的魅力. However, if you?re after something that is a bit different, it?s a safe and reliable used buy.但是,如果你?再后一句有点不同,它?收盘用来购买安全可靠. It also represents a significant saving on new prices, which makes buying a Paseo not such an outlandish option.这也代表着新的节水价格,使得不买这种古怪的Paseo选择. Just be prepared to put up with blank looks when you tell people what you?ve arrived in.刚准备忍受空白当你告诉人们怎样看你?虚拟抵达进来
