VAUXHALL AGILA (2000- TO DATE)狂暴Agila号(2000年至今)
The Agila marked Vauxhall?s first foray into the citycar market, and although it was a new venture for the British company, it was far from a brand new model, being in effect a rebadged Suzuki Wagon R+ albeit with a pair of engines not shared with its Japanese counterpart.Agila卫星标志着制服?收盘首次介入citycar市场虽然这是一个新的创业公司为英国,还远远全新模式正在实施一项研究+rebadged铃木旅行车尽管一双引擎不跟日本同行. In many ways the Agila legitimised the boxy tall citycar, as examples had been offered here for some years by manufacturers such as Daihatsu and Suzuki but had been viewed with suspicion.Agila卫星legitimised多方面的高楼大厦citycar盒、例如一些年来一直为这里的大发、铃木等厂商,但一直持怀疑态度. The Agila has sold in reasonable numbers and with good reason ?Agila卫星已售出号码和合理的道理? it?s a superb car if you like to remain in the urban sprawl and crawl.?如果你喜欢一个高超的车留在城市扩展和爬行. A used example won?t have clocked up too many miles but you may need to look carefully to see if its short life has been unduly harsh.用一个例子获胜?笔已在多方面太多哩,但你可能需要仔细看看自己短暂的生命已过份苛刻. It?s a jungle out there??收盘了丛林出去?
HISTORY历史
Vauxhall aren?t renowned as innovators, instead preferring to tread a conservative middle ground.狂暴西哈莫尼?笔被誉为革新者,而宁愿胎面保守中庸之道. It therefore came as something of a shock to the company to see UK sales of tiny citycars rocket at the tail end of the nineties.因此它看成一种震撼来到公司看到小小的citycars火箭在英国销售的尾声90. Ford?s ka was starting to do good business, as was the Fiat Seicento and Volkswagen Lupo.福特?收盘家已开始做好业务,如大众、菲亚特seicentolupo. Something needed to be done and quick.一些需要做快捷. Without the requisite time to develop a new citycar rival in-house, General Motors instead wielded the chequebook and in a joint venture with Suzuki unleashed the Agila.没有必要的时间开发出新citycar对手在内务、通用汽车与其挥舞支票簿、合资铃木发动Agila卫星.
Perhaps this is an oversimplified account of how the Agila came into being, as it represents far more than a rebadged Wagon R+.也许这是过份说明如何Agila号诞生它是远远超过了住宅+rebadged旅行车. Nevertheless, Vauxhall offered two versions of the Agila when it was launched in June 2000.不过,路上有两种版本Agila卫星发射时在2000年6月. By this stage the Suzuki donor vehicle was on its second iteration and many of the car?s quality and handling issues had been resolved.现阶段由铃木汽车在其第二迭代捐赠不少车?收盘素质和处理问题已经解决. Two engines were available, a 1.0-litre 12-valve three-cylinder unit that developed a stonking 57bhp and a more desirable 1.2-litre unit that also saw service in the Corsa, making a more substantial 74bhp.两个发动机可坐,一个1.0公升12气门3缸stonking57bhp和单位制定了较为可取1.2公升的服务单位也看到corsa,作更大幅度74bhp. In 2003 the Agila received a mild facelift as well as an uprated 1.0-litre Twinport engine.2003Agila卫星收到轻度整容以及新型干法1.0公升twinport发动机.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
As already suggested, the upright, boxy stance creates far more interior space than you?d find in a conventional European citycar.正如,做人,创造更为盒立场室内空间比你?四citycar找到了欧洲常规. So much in fact that you could even see your Agila as a kind of tiny MPV People Carrier.这么多,你甚至可以看到其实你Agila号巡逻艇人们视为一种小小的母舰. This of course assumes you?re not travelling four-up (in which case there?s only a paltry 8.7cuft ? or 248 litres - of luggage space).这当然假设你?再不能行驶4起(在这种情况呢?收盘仅区区8.7cuft?或248公升-行李空间). With the rear bench unoccupied however and the 50/50 split back seats folded flat, that area can be increased five-fold to 1250 litres.但是,与后方合议庭空置分裂靠背座椅50/50折叠单位这一领域可以增加五倍至1250年公升. There?s plenty of oddments space too, with drawers under the front seats, cup and bottle holders and knee-height shelves for both front passengers.?收盘很多空间过于碎米、前排座位下有抽屉、杯、瓶、持有膝身高两书架前面乘客.
All that said, it?s as well to remember how narrow this car is before you go making any grand plans for long journeys.说到底,?收盘也记住这车是怎么窄你走之前作出宏伟规划远行. The rear bench is so narrow that there isn?t even a centre seatbelt.合议庭后方如此狭窄,肖国?连笔中心安全带. On the plus side, passengers sit 83mm higher than they would in a Corsa, so there?s excellent visibility through the vast glass area.对加方将高于83mm乘客坐一corsa,所以?透过玻璃能见度很好收盘面积辽阔. This incidentally, makes air-conditioning a very desirable option (as you?ll discover on a hot day), so it?s a pity you can only specify it on the 1.2-litre model.这一事,使空调一个非常理想的选择(如你?一天就发现当地的热门)所以?收盘可惜你只能说明它的1.2公升模式.
Just one trim level is being offered but it?s reasonably comprehensive.刚一浪,但水平大体相近.收盘相当全面. Power steering, electric mirrors, an engine immobiliser, tinted glass, body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, a radio cassette player and Vauxhall?s excellent dash-top information display all come as standard.助力转向,电动镜、发动机防盗、茶色玻璃,车身颜色保险杠、镜、一个收录机和狂暴?收盘优秀短跑顶信息显示所有前来标准. Central locking and deadlocks would have been nice ?已锁定中部和尼斯僵局? but you have to specify an extra cost ?Comfort Pack?但是你要订额外费用?舒适折? to get them (along with power front windows).引领他们(随着电力战线窗). There?s also an ?Exterior Plus Pack??收盘也?外观加折? with alloy wheels and front foglamps.与合金车轮和foglamps战线.
Safety is a justifiable concern with cars like this: some of the Japanese citycar alternatives don't inspire much confidence as to their crashworthiness.轿车是一种正当的安全关切是这样的:有些日本人citycar选择不信任来激励他们很耐撞. The Agila is different however, with a safety-first design culture that goes much deeper than simply having a driver's airbag as standard.Agila卫星不同,但是以安全第一的设计不是单纯的文化有更深的推移驾驶员气囊作为标准. A maximum NCAP impact-test score is predicted thanks to ideas like a clever system that pulls the pedals away from your feet in a smash.最高ncap撞击测试得分预测系统经过巧妙构思像个拉动脚踏在远离你的脚粉碎. There are also height-adjustable seat belts that limit the force exerted on passengers?还有高度可调安全带限制乘客施加武力? chests, even in a minor crash.伸懒腰,即使轻微碰撞. Anti-lock brakes and a front passenger airbag are optional.防抱死刹车及前座乘客安全气囊是择.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Expect to pay £3,000 for a 2000 W-plated 1.0-litre Agila and £3,400 for an equivalent 1.2-litre car.预计2000年支付了3000英镑钨镀1.0公升Agila号为3400英镑,相当于1.2公升轿车. Insurance Groups are 2 and 3 respectively.保险集团分别是2和3. Optional Comfort Packs and Exterior Packs tend to bump the price up by around £200.择舒适、外观包装盒的价格往往碰了200英镑左右.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Agila is a surprisingly durable little car.Agila卫星是出乎意料的小客车耐用. The 1.0-litre version isn?t particularly adept at motorway work, so many have quite low mileages.在1.0升版肖国?尤其擅长笔高速公路工作,所以许多人相当低哩. That?s not to say they won?t have suffered much wear and tear: the twin demands of city driving and ferrying kids around is an acid test if ever there was one.为何?收盘谈不上获胜?笔蒙受很大损耗:双城市驾驶和接送孩子的要求是一块试金石,一旦周围有一个50. Check the interiors for signs of damage to fittings, rips or stains on the upholstery and damage in the load bay caused by bulky objects (the seat backs are rather vulnerable).检查内部装置损坏迹象,核糖或污渍和损坏的座垫湾负荷太重造成物体(座位靠背都比较脆弱). Check tyre wear and also the condition of the exhaust, and make sure all gears engage cleanly and do not jump out.检查轮胎磨损状况也废气、做到清廉,不从事一切齿轮跳出. Otherwise insist on a service record and buy with confidence.否则硬要一个服务记录和购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2000 1.0-litre Agila) Consumables prices for the Agila are comfortingly modest.(大约2000年的基础上,1.0公升Agila号)消费品价格Agila卫星是comfortingly谦虚. Expect to pay around £8 for an air filter, £15 for a fuel filter and £4 for a spark plug.预期英镑左右付了8空气滤清器、燃油过滤器和15英镑4英镑一个火花塞.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Since you may not be expecting too much in terms of road-roading excitement, it?s likely that you?ll be pleasantly surprised by the way the Agila handles.由于你可能不太多期待在公路筑路幻彩?收盘可能吗?当地有惊喜的处理方式Agila卫星. You?ll be genuinely impressed by the car?s responsive power steering, agile change of direction and lack of body roll.你?当地真正感受到车?收盘顺应助力转向、敏捷的转向和缺乏身体滚. Sixty is around 13 seconds away from rest in the 1.2-litre model on the way to a maximum of close to 100mph, so motorway travel is well within this Vauxhall?s remit.是13秒60左右离开休息120公升模式才是最高接近100mph,所以这个路上高速公路旅行远?收盘汇出. It gets a bit noisy in the upper reaches of the rev range however, so you won?t want to be undertaking too many inter-city trips.盘整有点嘈杂的上游晨曦射程但是所以你赢了?笔会承诺太多想市际班次. Nevertheless, the 1.2 differentiates itself from its smaller engined sibling as a car that can be used long distance rather than one where motorway work is a constant white-knuckle struggle.尽管如此,120别为自己的小兄弟汽车引擎可用于高速公路长途而非一个地方工作,是不断白色节的斗争.
More important for potential buyers will be the Agila?s urban behaviour ?更重要的潜在买主将Agila卫星?城市行为? an area in which it?s predictably impressive.它的面积?收盘料印象深刻. The car will turn through 180 degrees in less than 10 metres ?轿车将通过180度,在不到10米? which should prove useful in multi-storey car parks and in tight streets.这应有助于多层停车场和严密的街道. Fuel economy meanwhile, is of course very good ?燃油经济性同时,当然是很好吗? though you won?t gain much by opting for the smaller 1.0-litre engine in this respect.虽然你赢了?笔有很大的选择较小的1.0公升引擎在这方面的工作. Both units should return around 40mpg in ordinary day-to-day use.双方应回到单位周围40mpg普通日常使用. Maintenance costs are also going to be very low.维修成本也将非常低.
OVERALL 总体
Unless you plan to use the car solely for short-distance work in the urban sprawl and crawl, try to stretch for a 1.2-litre model.除非你计划用专供汽车短距离自由泳和工作在城市蔓延,设法舒展了1.2公升的模式. The added flexibility makes driving far easier.加上弹性使得驾驶更容易. You may have to search quite hard to find the car you like, as there aren?t too many used Agilas about and the Network Q Scheme may be your best bet.你可能很难找到有相当搜寻你喜欢的轿车,由于西哈莫尼?笔太多,大约用agilas网络计划可能问你最好. Although it may be damning it with faint praise, it?s a truism that the Agila is better than it looks.虽然可能有损它与赞美微弱,?收盘不言而喻Agila卫星总比看起来. The margin by which may well surprise you.其中幅度可能突然你.
