TOYOTA STARLET (1985-1999)丰田明星人物(1985-1999)
In almost every manufacturer?s range, there tends to be a forgotten model - the car you just don't see around.几乎在每一个厂家呢?收盘射程,通常会有遗忘型轿车你看不到左右. For Toyota in recent years, that car has been the Starlet which, prior to the more recent Yaris, was the smallest vehicle in their line-up.为丰田近年来一直轿车的明星,其中,最近期yaris之前,他们是最小的汽车列队. The reasons for this are rather difficult to fathom.原因有相当大的难度,百思不解. To put it bluntly, there's really very little wrong with it.说穿了,没有多大的不对. All right, so dynamically the Starlet always lagged behind the class-leaders.没错,所以总是落后于动态的明星级领袖. And older 1.0-litre models certainly struggled to keep up with the traffic.与旧1.0公升型号一定要跟上交通挣扎. Against that, however, you have to put exemplary reliability and strong build quality.持反对态度,不过,你把健硕质量和可靠性模范. If these things are important to you above all else, the Starlet is likely to be your kind of supermini.如果这些东西是你必须高于一切,可能是你的明星样的超小型.
HISTORY历史
Believe it or not, the Starlet was imported into the UK in one form or another for over 20 years.信不信由你,输入英国的明星是某种形式超过20年. Thanks to restrictive import quotas, however, it became the forgotten car in Toyota's UK line-up, the importers preferring to focus on larger models with meatier profit margins.由于进口配额限制,但最终却成为被遗忘的丰田车的英国阵容,进口商宁愿以较大的内容模范利润率.
The most recent version that's worth buying is the 1985-1991 shape which came only in 1.0-litre three-door form.最新版本的是1985-1991元买形状手中只有1.0公升三个门组成. It was an unremarkable car, popular mainly with older drivers and undemanding female motorists.这是一个不起眼的汽车,大受欢迎,主要是年长的女性司机一般化的标志. Better was the newer shape model announced in 1991.更好的是在1991年公布的新形模式. Here, there was independent suspension for the first time, along with disc/drum brakes, so at least it felt more modern.在这里,有独立进行了首次暂停,随着盘/鼓式制动器,至少让他们感到更现代化.
Initially back then, buyers were still restricted to the 1.0-litre three-door formula with the 1.0GL.起初当时还只限于购买1.0公升三公式与1.0gl大门. This car was made safer in 1992 with the addition of side-impact door beams.这车是1992年在加入安全侧冲击大门横梁. Its worst feature however, the snail-like 999cc 54bhp 1.0-litre engine lasted until 1993 when it was replaced by a far perkier 74bhp fuel injected unit from the larger Corolla.最糟的特点,<蜗牛式999cc54bhp1.0公升引擎,直到1993年,它取代了目前燃料注入perkier74bhp股从花冠较大. Originally, this came in GLi three-door form.原来,这个进来成象三个门组成.
In October 1993, a five-door Starlet was launched for the first time; this became the 1.3GLi, whilst the three-door was badged XLi.1993年10月5大门发起了首次明星人物;这成为1.3gli,虽然三大门badged四十一. This version was further upgraded in July 1994.这个版本进一步升级,1994年7月.
In March 1996, the most significant Starlet yet was launched.1996年3月推出,但最重要的明星人物. There was an all-new (but still bland) shape and power in the form of the 16v 1.3-litre engine, once again borrowed from the Corolla.有一支全新(但仍平淡)形状和形式的权力16v130公升引擎再次借用花冠. Originally, just two versions were offered - the Sportif and the CD - in three and five-door forms.本来只是两个版本80707-sportif和唯三和五门形式. By now however, Toyota wanted to sell more Starlets with British production of the Carina E freeing up a greater import quota.然而现在,丰田更想卖starlets英国生产的电子隆突腾出更多的进口配额. In 1998 therefore, the range was lightly facelifted and expanded to include i, S and GLS variants, as well as a sporty SR with lower sports suspension, a sports exhaust and 15'' alloys.于是在1998年,被轻轻facelifted范围扩大到包括与我谈GISS和变种、以及潇洒简较低体育叫停,体育排气和15'合金.
The range continued into 1999 ?幅度持续到1999年? but was only sold half-heartedly after the introduction of the similarly sized ?但仅售出敷衍了事之后推出的同样大小? but much more hi-tech Yaris.但更多的高科技yaris. It was gradually deleted, with only automatic models remaining until the end of that year when they too were supplanted by the newly-introduced Yaris 1.3 auto.据逐步删除以自动模式仅剩下直到年底时他们也逐渐为新近推出汽车yaris三月一日.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
An inoffensive little car that won't let you down - but won't excite you very much either.一个无害的小客车,不会让大家失望,不过你不会很兴奋. Build quality is impeccable and the last examples were quite well equipped.建设质量是无可挑剔的,而最后的例子是相当精良.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Try to avoid the 1985-1991 models unless all you need is an urban runabout.除非设法避免1985-1991模范城市runabout只需. Try if you can to limit your search to next generation 1.3-litre models.如果你能设法限制你搜索到下一代130公升型号. These start on L-plates for just over £1,000, but more typical M or N-plate old-shape 1.3-litre models tend to range between around £1,600 and just over £1,800 in three-door form.这些开始对L-板块刚刚超过1000英镑,但更典型的M或氮板块旧型130公升型号之间往往射程约为1600英镑和1800英镑,略高于3门形式. Five-doors command a £100-300 premium.五门指挥了100-300英镑保险费.
New-shape Starlets start on 96N-plates for about £1,600 in basic three-door Sportif form, with more typical P and R-platers between £1,700 and £2,000 in three-door Sportif guise.新形starlets开始96n板大约三英镑1600年基本门sportif表更典型的磷和R-platers两千英镑和1700英镑之间三个门sportif幌子. Five-doors are worth a £300 premium and plusher CD trim costs around £400 more, model for model.五门值得一英镑保险费300英镑左右车窗影音降低成本400多模型模式. Last-of-line cars start at around £2,400 for a 99S three-door S and go up to about £3,200 for a 99T GLS automatic.最后的网上汽车启动了2400英镑左右99s3门收盘升约3200英镑一谈GIS自动99t.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Rust around the tailgate and sunroof of early cars which can also get smoky and noisy with high mileage.锈周围栏板和天窗的车还可以得到早期黑烟、噪音高里程. Later models shouldn't really cause you any problems at all; they?ve usually had owners who drive them carefully and look after them.后来你真的会造成任何型号不应在所有问题;他们?味通常车主驾驶小心照顾他们.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx - based on a 1996 1.3 CD ? excluding VAT) A clutch assembly is around £80.(大约-基于1996年1月3日裁?不包括增值税)离合器装配英镑左右80. Front brakepads are around £30, a catalytic converter about £465 and an exchange alternator around £175.锋brakepads身边英镑30,催化转换器、交流发电机约465英镑175英镑左右. A headlamp is about £70.前照灯一英镑约70.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Out on the road and in normal day to day use, the Starlet will appeal to those who view the purchase of a car much like that of a dishwasher or a fridge.列于道及日常正常使用,现在的明星呼吁那些认为买车很像是一个洗碗机或冰箱. The model they choose must perform its functions reliably and without fuss, stress or expense.他们选择的模式必须履行职能提供可靠、小题大做、胁迫或牺牲.
It must be as simple to operate as a payphone and should demand as little input as possible from the operator.它必须简单操作作为收费电话的需求,并应尽可能以较少的投入从经营. On all these counts, the Starlet scores heavily.所有这些罪状,重分数的明星. It's a cinch to drive, simple to park and economical to run - expect over 40mpg on a motorway trip.它的驾驶不在话下,简单地以经济园区润超过预期40mpg高速公路就行了.
The post-1993 fuel injected catalysed 1.3-litre engined models make these kinds of longer journeys a more realistic proposition; cruising at 85mph is easy and quiet and the top speed is around 106mph.邮政1993注入燃料催化130公升引擎型号拍出这样的路程更长更实际的主张;游弋在平静、易于85mph时速大约106mph顶. On A and B roads, while the 1.3 isn't exactly a ball of fire, there's plenty of acceleration on tap for fleeting overtaking opportunities; rest to 60 takes around 10.3 seconds.一、二路,而130可不是一个球火警有很多关于塔为加速超车机会稍纵即逝;3月10日左右需休息60秒.
Later versions also handle competently too, thanks to an independent suspension and the addition of an anti-roll bar.处理后的版本还称职,经过增补和悬浮独立的反滚吧. Not that many potential buyers will notice the difference, though they may remark on the fact that the car rides bumpy tarmac with surprising assurance.公告说,将不会差很多潜在买主,尽管他们的说法是,同车乘车颠簸路面惊讶保证. The five-speed gearbox fitted to later cars also makes cruising less stressful.五速变速箱装配后车也不要过份紧张游弋.
OVERALL 总体
Buy a late one and it makes some sense.一买一晚,是有道理. Early cars have little to recommend them other than reliability.早期车少建议他们除了可靠性.
