VAUXHALL MERIVA (2003 - TO DATE)狂暴meriva(2003年至今)
Vauxhall has had to put up with a fair degree of mud slinging down the years, most of which suggested that under General Motors, the company had become so bureaucratic that it could no longer respond to rapidly changing markets in an adequately timely fashion.路上不得不忍受相当准确泥甩下来年大多数提示下通用汽车该公司说,它已经变得太官僚再也回应瞬息万变的市场,及时充分. In more recent years, that line of argument has begun to look increasingly shaky, thanks to the introduction of a whole range of niche-orientated more versatile vehicles.在最近几年,该行已开始寻找说法越来越不稳、由于采用了一系列新利基型多用途车多. First the Zafira mini-MPV offered the cleverest seating system known to man and then the Meriva supermini-MPV arrived to offer much of this utility in an even smaller package.首先zafira小型巡逻艇提供座位巧制人类已知接着meriva超小型-巡逻艇抵达这个事业提供了更多的小包装. With these two models on board, Vauxhall?s more conventional passenger cars were able to become sleeker and more stylish ?与这两个型号船上,狂暴?收盘较传统轿车装有能成为更气派? two attributes that had rarely been levelled at Astras and Corsas.这两种属性很少被填平,并于astrascorsas. Everyone was a winner.人人是赢家. But why buy something conventional when you could have something really rather clever?为什么买东西的常规,当你真的很聪明,有可能吗? Something like a used Vauxhall Meriva for instance.像是用狂暴meriva比如. With examples now beginning to appear on the market in meaningful numbers, a nearly new model offers all the technology at a fraction of the price.举例现在开始在市面出现有意义号码几乎所有的新模式提供了技术在一点点的代价.
HISTORY历史
There?s a lot more to the Meriva than meets the eye.?收盘更多的meriva般理想. Many expected a sort of inflated Vauxhall Corsa but despite being broadly Corsa-based, the Meriva seems more than the sum of its parts.许多预期的一种充气狂暴corsa但尽管大致corsa为本meriva似乎超过了其部分的总和. Introduced in May 2003, the car was an instant success, if not revolutionising the market in quite the same fashion as its Zafira big brother.2003年5月推出的车是急功近利如果不是革命性的市场相当流行,因为它同zafira大哥. Instead it capitalised on the perceived weakness of Ford?s offering in this sector, the Fusion, and arrived at a time when Renault had no model to speak of (the Modus only residing on a designer?s CAD station at the time).而资本薄弱的知觉福特?这个部门开办的,融合、抵达时没有模式可言雷诺(行骗设计师只住了?收盘时,民航站). Peugeot could only offer the half-baked 206SW, MG Rover drew a blank and Fiat?s Idea was still forming in the Italian manufacturer?s mind.标致只能给予了半桶206sw,毫克孚、菲亚特提请空白?概念还是形成了意大利的制造商?收盘介意. In short, the Meriva had a virtually unchallenged run of it at first.总之,几乎不受meriva闯过了它起初. Four engines were offered, 8v and 16v 1.6-litre units and a 1.8-litre petrol powerplant and the pick of the crop, the 1.7-litre CDTi diesel.四引擎80707、赫利和16v1.6公升单位和180公升汽油车的动力装置、作物、170公升柴油cdti. Four trim levels were offered - the rather cheesily titled Expression, Life, Enjoy and Design.807074级浪的表现相当cheesily题、生活享受和设计.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
As with any vehicle that touts itself as some sort of MPV, the Meriva stands or falls on more practical considerations such as interior space, the ingenuity of its seating system, passenger access and overall comfort.正如任何车辆,师爷自己当成巡逻艇,meriva停机或落在了更多实际的考虑,例如室内空间,其创意座椅系统客运通道和整体舒适. It?s here that the Meriva comes up trumps.?收盘meriva这里说出来天时地利人和. Just as Vauxhall aced the opposition with the Zafira?s Flex7 seating system, the Meriva aims to do likewise with its less snappily titled FlexSpace arrangement.就像狂暴肢端反对派与zafira?收盘flex7座位系统这样做的目的是与其meriva少snappily名为flexspace安排. With five seats to play with, the Meriva doesn?t have as many tricks up its sleeve as the Zafira, but you?ll still be able to wow your passengers with a few deft flicks of the wrist.五个座位玩,meriva不惜?笔有许多花招了一手为zafira,但你呢?你还可以哇当地乘客数传神卖座的手腕.
Most of the time, the Meriva functions as a conventional five seat supermini-MPV, but many of us have tried travelling five up in cars like these and it can feel a bit of a pinch.大部分时间,meriva作为常规五座超小型-巡逻艇,但很多人都试图在汽车行驶五个像这类能有点一丁点. The Meriva goes some way to alleviating the problem by offering one of the widest rear passenger shoulder width measurements in its class, but the real benefit comes when travelling with four rather than five aboard.<meriva稍微纾缓提供一个广泛的后座乘客肩膀宽度测量班、但是,当行驶到实惠,而不是4个念头. The centre seat can fold flat into the footwell, leaving the two remaining seats at liberty to slide independently, not only backwards and forwards, but also on runners from side to side.该中心的座位可以折叠成footwell单位,其余两个席位离开自由滑动独立不仅来回来去,而且对运动员从侧方. This makes the Meriva feel extremely spacious indeed.这就使得meriva确实感到非常宽敞. But why stop at four?但为什么站四个? Vauxhall have equipped the Meriva with the capacity for all of the passenger seats to fold flat, freeing up an enormous 1,300 litres of available space.狂暴的meriva都配备有能力为所有的乘客座位停刊单位腾出了巨大的空间可供1300公升. Even with the rear seats in position, there?s a creditable 560 litres available.即使在后座位置,有吗?收盘560公升可取信.
The innovations don?t stop there.创新鲍思?笔于此. Twin Audio is a first for a car of the Meriva?s class, allowing rear passengers to listen to radio and CD independently from the front passengers using headphones.双胞胎是一首为一辆汽车音响的meriva?收盘级让后方乘客收听广播和前排乘客独立裁耳机. Other convenience features include front seat backs with airline-style fold-down tray tables, seat back net storage, a removable travel box with arm rest and cup holders for rear seat passengers and, most usefully of all, a tray beneath the boot floor in which to hide valuables.其它特征包括方便航空公司与前座靠背式折叠向下盘桌,净椅背存储抽取式旅行箱手臂休息和持有杯后座乘客,最有用的,一盘底下躲藏在行李箱地板贵重.
The interior is a welcome surprise too, Vauxhall eschewing the easy option of simply planting the Corsa dashboard into the Meriva, instead opting for a Vectra-style fascia which gives the little Meriva a quality feel.内政部是一个值得欢迎的太突然,路上又避免单纯种植容易选择进入merivacorsa仪表、相反,选择一个vectra式筋膜让小meriva优质感受. Indeed, ahead of its launch, the British Institute of Vehicle Engineers bestowed the MPV Design Award upon the Meriva, praising its ?crisp exterior styling?.确实,提前推出,英国汽车工程师学会颁了奖后meriva巡逻艇设计、赞美它吗?脆外观造型?. Twin electrically operated sunroofs add an airy feel to the interior, but it?s the attention to detail that is particularly impressive.孪生电动sunroofs增添了室内通风感觉,但它?收盘注意细节,尤其令人印象深刻. The fuel filler cap houses a small tool for the tyre valve caps that equals clean hands and easy access when checking pressures.填充燃料的小房子帽工具轮胎阀帽,等于清白容易消压力.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
The Meriva isn?t in short supply and a bit of hard haggling should see you land an 03 plated 1.6-litre 8v Life model for little more than £7,000.<meriva肖国?笔供不应求,有点艰苦地讨价还价,你应该看到了03年镀1.6公升赫利生活模式7000多英镑. Many will feel the lustier 16v model is worth the premium and you?ll need at least £7,750 for one of these.许多人会觉得纳粹16v模式值得保费,你呢?当地至少需要7750英镑为其中之一. The 1.8-litre car is the liveliest of the lot and these start at £8,400 while you?ll need around £9,750 to land an early 04 plated Meriva Life 1.7 CDTi diesel.180公升车是最生动的地段,这些晚上8400英镑,而你呢?当地大约需要9750英镑到1904年的土地早日镀meriva七月一日生活cdti柴油. Insurance is as friendly as the car itself, ranging between Groups 3E and 7E.汽车保险是为自己的友好,并与7E第3E集团之间不等.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Meriva hasn?t been around for too long and few problems have surfaced.独具特色的meriva?笔早就存在几个问题的出现太久. Given that the mechanicals are largely Corsa sourced it?s unlikely that many will either.既然机电大多corsa货源吗?收盘不大可能会很多. As with any car that is used to transport families around, check for damage wreaked by youngsters, including broken fittings, rips or stains on the upholstery and scratched plastics.正如任何家庭轿车是用来运输左右,检查破坏青少年包括破碎设备、核糖或污渍的塑料座垫及抓伤. Also ensure that all of the seats fold away smoothly, as it?s easy for dropped items of food or small toys to jam the runners.同时保证所有的座位折叠顺利它?收盘下跌件容易的玩具或小食品,以干扰运动员. Otherwise check for the service record and look forward to buying a very capable car.否则检查服务记录,并期待能够买一个非常轿车.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1.6-litre 8v Life) Nothing too scary here.(基于一个1.6公升改装生活)什么太可怕了. A new clutch will cost you about £110 and a full exhaust system around £350.新离合器会使你约110英镑和350英镑左右全部排气系统. An alternator is about £125 and a starter motor around £100.约125英镑的发电机、起动马达100英镑左右. A radiator is about £115 and a replacement windscreen close to £145.一、散热器约115英镑更换挡风玻璃接近145英镑. A tail lamp is about £65 and a headlamp about £90.尾部灯大约65英镑一英镑左右前照灯90.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Most buyers will opt for one of the 1.6-litre models.大多数买家会选择其中的1.6公升型号. Whereas the eight-valve models will return a creditable average of 36.2mpg, the multivalve model eclipses it by eking 37.6mpg out of every gallon of 95RON unleaded.而八阀型号重新回到了骄人平均36.2mpg,它的标题multivalve示范止于37.6mpg出每加仑95ron无铅. Although the Meriva will primarily be purchased by private, family oriented customers, any business users would also be attracted to the fact that the sixteen-valve car emits less carbon dioxide (179 vs 187g/km), thus lopping a significant two per cent from its benefit in kind taxation and making it a far cheaper option to run.虽然meriva将主要由私人购买,家庭型客户任何企业用户也可以吸引到16气门汽车排出的二氧化碳减少(179比187g/km)于是砍掉百分之二的重大利益,并使之成为税收实物远廉办.
The 200 cubic centimetres that the Meriva?s 1.8 holds over the lesser 1.6-litre units in terms of engine capacity don?t transform the car into a fire-breathing monster but with a 10.9-second time for the 0-60mph sprint compared to 14s in the entry level 16-litre 8-valve, they do help it pick up its heels a bit.200立方厘米,meriva?8月1日收盘持有超过较轻1.6公升容量引擎单位在顿河?笔改造成汽车火烟怪物,而是以10.9-第二次为0-60mph短跑相比路线14S在入门级16公升八瓣,他们并帮助它重拾跟着受益. If you go for the 1.6-litre with 16-valves, 0-60mph takes 12.9 seconds while the 1.7-litre CDTi can do the same in 13.4s, so the 1.8 is comfortably the most rapid Meriva on the market, bar none.如果你到了1.6公升16气阀,0-9月12日60mph需1.7秒,而公升cdti能做相同13.4s,所以180是最舒服的市场快速meriva,酒吧没有. With 125bhp on tap it can also reach a top speed of 118mph where conditions allow and the engine produces decent torque for in-gear exploits, even though it?s not as flexible as the gutsy CDTi diesels.在同塔也达到125bhp最高时速达118mph如果条件允许,在发动机产生的扭矩象样齿轮战功即使它?收盘不那么灵活的血性cdti柴油机. The Meriva inherits a good chassis from its Corsa sister vehicle and it copes with the power of the 1.8-litre unit well.继承了良好的meriva从其corsa妹妹汽车底盘配套,与它的功率一点八公升单位. It is a car that you can have fun driving but don?t expect miracles.它是汽车驾驶乐趣,但你可以鲍思?笔指望奇迹. It?s still ostensibly a high-sided MPV.?收盘仍高表面片面巡逻艇.
OVERALL 总体
Vauxhall caught the rest of the market on the hop with the Meriva, and as such it?s now around in such numbers on the used market that it?s easier to land your choice of engine, colour and trim.路上趁休息了市场对合同meriva,而这样吗?现在大约有多少这样的二手市场,对吗?收盘容易地选择你发动机颜色和修剪. We?d opt either for an early 1.6-litre 16v model or a later 1.7-litre CDTi diesel.我们?丁要么选择早日1.6-16v模式或以后每升1.7-cdti公升柴油. Whichever model you choose, you can rest assured that you?ve bought one of the best cars in the class.你选择哪一个模式,你可以放心,你呢?买一个最好的虚拟课堂轿车.
