HISTORY历史
February 1998 marked a very key date in the development of the Astra estate.1998年2月,标志着一个非常重要的日子雅特地产开发. Before the Mark 4 version was launched, the Astra had, for a long time, been a makeweight; a car that justified its own existence purely on fleet finance balance sheets.四月的纪念版推出之前,雅特有,长期以来,一直是makeweight;正当车子本身存在纯粹车队财务平衡表. There was no logical reason for a private buyer to choose an Astra, because there were so many better options about, and Vauxhall realised this, knowing they had to raise their game.逻辑上没有理由私人买主选择雅特、因为有这么多的好办法、体会这路上,他们不得不提高他们明知游戏. When the new range was unveiled, UK buyers realised it was worth the wait, for the car was demonstrably better than anything in its class.当新的震荡,英国是值得等待买主变现、为车被明显优于任何阶级. The Astra held this position for a mere eight months until the launch of the Ford Focus, but although the Astra had to give second best to the all-conquering Ford, it was still an excellent car.雅特召开的这次为期仅八个月,直到阵地发射福特焦点、但尽管雅特不得不退而求其次的让所有无坚不摧的福特轿车却依然良好.
The estate models were launched alongside the three and five door hatches and played second fiddle to the big-selling hatchbacks.地产型号发射舱口大门旁边的三、五、发挥众人大卖厢型车. Nevertheless there was plenty of choice available.不过有很多选择. Six engines were on offer: a 90bhp 1.4i 16v, a 75bhp 1.6i 8v, a 100bhp 1.6i 16v, and 115bhp 1.8i 16v petrol units and 68bhp 1.7 turbodiesel and 2.0-litre direct injection diesel units.6投标人引擎:1.4i16v90bhp,75bhp1.6i赫利,100bhp1.6i16v、1.8i16v和115bhp68bhp汽油的单位和七月一日turbodiesel和2.0升直喷式柴油单位. Trim levels started at Envoy, and ascended through Club, LS, CD and CDX.修剪层次展开使者,登上通过俱乐部的LS、影音、配料. December 1998 saw the advent of Bi-Fuel versions which ran on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) as well as regular unleaded petrol.1998年12月到来年双燃料版本袾液体石油气(LPG),以及定期无铅汽油. In October 1999 a new .com version of the Astra 1.6i estate was launched and sold at a reduced price over the Internet, while summer 2000 the 1.7-litre turbodiesel engine was replaced by a more advanced turbocharged direct injection unit of similar capacity, and an intercooled 2.0Dti engine was introduced alongside the regular 2.0-litre direct injection diesel.1999年10月新.组件版的雅特1.6i地产推出低价发售过因特网、而2000年夏季,1.7公升turbodiesel取而代之的是更先进的发动机涡轮增压直喷组类似能力并介绍了中冷发动机2.0dti经常伴随2.0公升直接喷射柴油.
For the 2001 model year, the entry-level 1.6-litre engine?s power was upped to 85bhp, while the 1.8 developed 125bhp.模型对2001年的入门级1.6公升引擎?收盘为85bhp两派权力,而发达国家180125bhp. The 2.2-litre engine seen in the Astra Coupe and sporty VX220 roadster was also introduced to the estate range.2.2公升引擎出现在雅特采伐、潇洒vx220跑车也推出地产射程. Comfort and Elegance trim levels replaced CD and CDX respectively in autumn 2001 at a time when the rest of the Astra range enjoyed a boost in standard equipment levels.高雅、舒适、斜浪两级分别取代光盘2001年秋季在其余的射程雅特标准装备水平得到了提高. Spring 2002 saw the introduction of the common-rail diesel 1.7-litre CDTi powerplant.2002年春天推出的共轨柴油1.7公升cdti电厂. This offered a smoother and more economical alternative to the somewhat outdated direct injection units with which Vauxhall had unsuccessfully tried to do battle against ever-more sophisticated Ford diesels.这提供了更为顺畅和经济的做法有点过时的直喷路上曾试图与哪些单位做斗争日趋繁复福特柴油机. The Mark 5 Astra arrived to replace the mark 4 in the summer of 2004.<法郎雅特抵取代马克42004年夏季.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Even the most basic Astra Estate includes electric front windows and remote control central locking, while air conditioning (which is fitted as standard by many of the Vauxhall's direct rivals) comes with all models from LS level upwards.连最基本雅特地产包括电动窗、遥控中央锁前,而空调(这是由于安装了许多的标准制服的直接对手)来与所有型号的LS从向上一级. The popular Club is fitted with an adjustable steering column, remote-control audio system and electric windows.热门俱乐部设有可调督导栏,遥控电动窗、音响系统.
The Astra estate is 180mm longer than its five-door hatchback stablemate but shares identical height and width measurements.长于180mm的雅特村5门hatchbackstablemate但有着相同的高度和宽度测量. With the seats folded down, there?s a huge 1500-litre capacity, reduced to 480-litres with the 60/40split folding rear seats in place.同席折叠下来,有吗?收盘巨大1500公升容量,减至480-60/40split公升的折叠后座到位.
Thoughtful touches include a ski-hatch in the middle of the rear seat back so that you can still travel four-up while carrying awkward long objects.周到触及包括滑雪-舱口后座的中间,让你可以回到旅行四龙尴尬起来既继承对象. Then there are the plastic rails provided in the carpet of the estate area, making it easy to slide heavy items in and out.再就是塑胶地毯晾干的产业领域就很容易滑重型物品进出. There?s also a load cover to shield your valuables from prying eyes and a luggage net to stop them from sliding around; both items could be easier to use, however.?盾牌也是负荷的掩护刺探你的眼睛和贵重行李净制止他们左右滑动;这两个项目可以易于使用,但是.
This isn?t the most eye-catching small estate you can buy, but at least that means it?s practical.这肖国?笔最抢眼的小屋可以买到,但至少意味?实际收盘. Loading the car couldn?t be easier, with access to the wide, flat estate area being superb.装载车记不起来?笔容易,获得广泛,单位面积正屋精湛. If you're counting the pennies and balancing the books, there is at least the consolation of knowing that running costs are improved.如果你算收支平衡、铜钱、至少有安慰明知运行成本提高. Servicing costs are down and the engineers claim that whichever engine you choose, a fuel economy improvement of around 10% has been achieved.服务费用下降以及工程师声称你选择哪一个引擎,燃油经济性提高了大约10%已经达到. You can't help wondering whether this has more to do with the aerodynamic efficiency of the wedgy shape - slippery at 0.29Cd - than anything else.你不禁要问,这更是与效率的气动楔形形状的防滑下午0.29cd--比任何东西. Still, at least the pursuit of such a slippery form has not been allowed to compromise interior space - the latest Astra is probably the roomiest car in its class.还有,至少追求这种形式湿滑未获允许妥协室内空间最新雅特大概roomiest车阶级.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
A 1.6-litre 8v Envoy estate on a 1998 R plate shouldn?t trouble you for much more than £3,000.一个1.6公升改装使者>1998住宅地产板块都不应该吗?麻烦你多笔3000多英镑. That buys you a heck of a lot of capability for what?s approaching banger pricing.说你买了很多啥米的能力如何?临近收盘价香肠. An additional £200 will buy the better equipped and air conditioned LS model which many will see as a fair investment and pay another £200 again and the sweeter 1.4-litre 16v engine is available, again in LS trim.另外200英镑买了一技之长,其中许多模型的LS空调将看到一个公正的投资和再付200英镑,而另甜1.4-16v公升引擎面世再度修剪镑. Probably the best buy among the petrol engined Astra estates is an early 1.8-litre 16v CDX model, equipped with plenty of kit, endowed with a fair turn of speed and yours from £3,700 on a 1998 R plate.其中最可能买汽油引擎雅特屋早日一点八公升16v测模式配备大量杰拥有一个公平交速度和你>从3700英镑1998住宅板块.

Aside from obvious body damage, just ensure that the car has been well looked after, insist on a service history and buy with confidence.除了身体明显损坏,确保公正轿车已关照坚持以服务历史和购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1998 1.6 Club estate) You?d expect spares from a mainstream operator like Vauxhall to be cost effective, and with the Astra being a bulk seller, you wouldn?t be wrong.(1998年6月1日基于大约地产俱乐部)你?预计从四备件像路上被主流算成本效益随着雅特作为卖方散装你wouldn?笔会犯错. A new clutch assembly is £145, whilst front brake pads can be found for around £20.新议会离合器145英镑,而前面刹车皮英镑左右才能找到20. Rears are nearer £35, whilst a radiator for an air-conditioned car will; cost around £130.抚养英镑近35,虽然有暖气的空调车;耗资约130英镑.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
On the Astra?s report card for driving impressions, it would probably receive a B grade for achievement and an A grade for effort.关于雅特?收盘成绩单驾驶印象,大概得二年级为一年级的努力和成就. The willing engines, always a strong point of any Astra range, are still not quite matched by the dynamic handling characteristics but this tends to matter less to typical estate drivers than sports hatch buyers.肯的发动机,总是一个支点任何雅特靶场仍不太相符的特征,但这种动态处理事情往往比较典型司机体育产业孵化买家. If your demands in terms of outright handling are not so stringent, the Astra estate is perfectly good.如果你在要求不太严格的断然处理,雅特地产完全好. After all, how many of us regularly go around corners, all adrift, sawing at the wheel?毕竟,有多少人经常四处角落,所有飘浮、锯在车轮? Or, to put it more relevantly, how many used buyers with a tyre budget in mind are going to?或者,说得相应,用多少预算购买一记正前往蒂尔? For the majority of the audience the Astra will appeal to, the combination of tractable engines, sweet transmissions, class-leading refinement and a surprisingly cosseting ride will all be major pluses.对大多数观众雅特将上诉,结合晶片引擎甜传输甲级领导和细化了出乎意料的拥抱都将乘坐大型皆有. Of particular merit are the 2.0-litre diesel engines and the 2.2-litre petrol engine that has now found its way into the sporty VX220 model.特别优异的2.0公升柴油引擎和2.2公升汽油发动机,已经渗进了潇洒vx220模式.
OVERALL 总体
It may not be particularly exciting but the Astra estate offers virtually all the attributes of far more popular mini-MPV vehicles at a fraction of the cost.尤其令人振奋,但未必雅特产业提供几乎所有的属性更为流行迷你车巡逻艇在一点点的费用. Before taking the plunge with something like a Renault Scenic, ask yourself whether you really need all the ?lifestyle?然后又像是在冒险与雷诺风景,想想自己到底是否需要这么多?生活方式? baggage.行李.
