VAUXHALL SIGNUM (2003 – TO DATE)狂暴signum(2003欧元Â"至今)
Figure this one out.这个人物之一. At the launch of the 9-3 Sport Saloon, a Saab spokesman commented upon how there was no demand for five door cars in this corner of the car market.在9月3日发射的体育球馆、一名发言人绅宝如何没有任何评论需求量在这5门轿车角落的汽车市场. Shortly thereafter, Vauxhall, a General Motors cousin of Saab, launch their five-door Signum.此后不久,狂暴,通用汽车绅宝堂弟,推出5门signum. Based on subsequent sales, you have to conclude Saab had it right.基于销售以后,你们已经结束绅宝正确. The Signum has been a slow seller for Vauxhall but that doesn?t mean it?s not worth a punt on the used market ?signum的路上一直缓慢而不惜为卖方?笔意味?收盘不值一踢就用市场? quite the opposite in fact.相反的事实. Used buyers will find a nearly new car with a big saving over new, making the Signum one of the more interesting propositions in its sector.找到买家用将近一大盘节省超过新车新signum作出一项较为有趣的命题. Its predecessor, the Omega, was initially unloved but kept scooping Best Used Buy awards later in life.它的前身,奥米加,最初被爱而不断掏最佳奖后用来买生活. The Signum is a far better car and its time may well come.signum的是汽车及其好得多时间可能到来.
HISTORY历史
Vauxhall?s 2002 model year Vectra re-established the company as a credible manufacturer of mid-range mainstream, offering a credible rivals to the Ford Mondeo and Renault Laguna.狂暴?2002年一年的示范vectra重新建立一个可靠的公司作为制造中程主流提供一个可信的对手福特蒙迪欧和雷诺丽. Vauxhall had loftier plans for the Vectra chassis however, and a long wheelbase version had been developed with two key aims in mind.路上有高尚的计划vectra底盘但是而长轴距版已经制作两记关键目标. One was to enable the Vectra to clean up in the estate market with an enormous capacity load lugger.一个是让vectra清理地产市场提供了巨大的容量负荷铁罐. The other was to offer something genuinely different, a car with plenty of back seat space and a luxurious feel.另一个是提供一些真正不同,同一辆车后座的空间和丰富的豪华感受. The Signum was launched on the UK market in May 2003 to a muted welcome from a rather puzzled press.signum的英国市场推出了2003年5月静欢迎新闻界相当困惑. Unsure of quite what the car was and how it fitted into the general scheme of things, reviewer confusion was mirrored by a slow take up by customers.搞不清楚什么车比较如何纳入总体计划外察混乱是一个缓慢的反映客户承担. Even now, you don?t see too many Signums on the roads.即使现在,你顿河?笔signums看到太多的道路. Vauxhall attempted to stimulate interest amongst fleet buyers by offering a three-year free servicing deal during a three month window from August 2003.狂暴企图刺激买家兴趣在车队提供为期3年的协议,在为期3个月的免费服务窗口,从2003年8月. A 150bhp and 120bhp 1.9CDTi diesel variants were launched in May 2004 in an attempt to boost sluggish sales but failed to make a significant impact and a 1.8-litre entry-level petrol engine was added shortly after.一150bhp和120bhp1.9cdti柴油变种发起于2004年5月,企图带动滞销但未造成重大影响,180公升入门级汽油引擎加不久.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Based on a stretched Vectra chassis, the Signum may claim to offer something new but in certain respects sticks to a well-worn formula.基于vectra底盘延伸、signum可申请开办的一种新材料,而是在某些方面坚持一个充满陈腔滥调的公式. Vauxhall have twigged that cars that offer additional versatility such as the Zafira and the Meriva are the ones that are cornering increasingly big shares of their respective markets.路上,汽车已twigged提供额外的多才多艺如zafirameriva都是垄断的都是各自的市场份额越来越大. Part of the reason for this is because they have offered a level of utility that many rivals in general, and Ford in particular, have been unable to match.部分原因是因为他们提供了某种程度的效用,许多竞争者一般而福特特别一直无法比拟. Meanwhile the more mainstream models, whilst maintaining share against the rest, have seen the total market size nibbled away.同时更主流模式,但保留对其余份额,市场总规模已经看到蚕食. Therefore it made sense to attempt to offer innovative and versatile cars in as many shapes and forms as possible and the Signum is a new take on this recipe.因此它提供了创新意识和试图多才多艺车形状,尽可能多的采取这是一个新的signum食谱.
The well-equipped Signum range tacked between £1,000 and £2,000 onto the prices of broadly equivalent Vectra models, a chunky premium for exactly what?装备精良signum附在射程两千英镑到1000英镑之间的价格大致相当于vectra型号一块状保费究竟? One of the key features that Vauxhall seem very proud of is the Signum?s so-called FlexSpace seating concept.其中一个重要特点,就是路上似乎非常骄傲signum?收盘所谓flexspace座椅概念. This allows the outer rear pair of seats to slide back and forth, allowing a trade off between legroom and luggage capacity.这使得在外一双座位后方来回滑、过了贸易关系,并允许legroom行李容量. What?s more, these seats can also recline to a 30-degree angle.什么?收盘以上,这些座位还可以横卧至30度角. Although it makes a big play of its spaciousness, the Signum works best as a four, rather than five seater.虽然作出了很大的发挥其宽敞的最佳作品,作为signum四、五个座位,而不是. The central berth in the back is rather hard and Vauxhall don?t recommend it for anyone over 5?10" tall but it does have its uses. The cushion flips through 180-degrees, revealing cup holders and storage boxes. It can also accommodate the Travel Assistant, another Vauxhall invention that?s standard on the range-topping Elite but cost £200 on the Elegance and Design trim levels that constitute the rest of the Signum line up.中央泊位后面是比较硬、狂暴鲍思?笔推荐500人?10"高楼大厦但也有其用途.缓冲翻看180度揭示杯持有和储存箱.它也可以容纳旅行助理另外狂暴的发明是什么?收盘水准的距离超过200英镑的费用,但精英风采和设计水平浪构成其余的signum排队.
The Travel Assistant tends to rattle but offers the two rear seat passengers a pair of folding tables, a fridge, a litter tub, cup holders, a 12v power outlet and a holder for a portable DVD player.旅行助理趋于摇铃但后座乘客提供了两个一双折台、一个冰箱,一盆子的垃圾,持杯,糖出口国和持有为便携式DVD播放. It?s all rather civilised, much like flying window seat in Club class.?而文明的一切,很像飞行俱乐部阶级窗席位. There are even overhead lockers in which to stow oddments, Vauxhall providing five flock-lined, silicon-damped storage compartments up top for small items such as sunglasses and mobile phones.甚至有架空储物柜内积碎米、五成群狂暴提供内衬,硅阻尼储存起来车厢顶小太阳眼镜、手机等物品.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the Signum open at around £11,000 for an 03 plated 2.0T Elegance with the Design version starting at just over £11,200.价格为1.1万英镑左右signum开了03年的设计与镀波峰风采版开始仅仅超过11,200英镑. The 2.2-litre petrol engined version is priced similarly but it?s tricky to find the larger engined models due to their rarity.2.2公升汽油引擎的版本,但它同样价钱?收盘刁钻找到引擎型号,由于其规模罕见. Insurance starts at a lowly Group 8 for the 2.0-litre DTi diesel model ranging up to Group 15 for the 3.2-litre petrol cars.保险始于贱八国集团为2.0公升柴油成像测距模式多达15组320公升汽油车.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The reliability of the Signum is thus far unquestioned but that's hardly surprising given the fact that its mechanicals are all well known and proven.signum的可靠性是不容置疑的,但迄今的不足为奇既然都是著名的机电、证明. General Motors spent an enormous amount of money developing the car and the thoroughness of its effort shows.通用汽车公司花巨资开发汽车及彻底努力演出. So far no significant faults have yet to be reported.迄今没有明显失误,尚未获报.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 2003 Signum 2.0T ex. VAT) Spares are priced very reasonably which is what you?d expect from Vauxhall.(基于2003年前signum产物.增值税)备件价格非常合理这是你吗?丁期待狂暴. A full exhaust will be around £355.排气将全部355英镑左右. A full clutch assembly will be in the region of £100, while brake pad sets will be just under £35.大会将全面离合器该地区100英镑,而刹车垫套将略低于英镑35. A replacement alternator should be about £90, a radiator around £140 and a starter motor will cost about £75.更换发电机应约英镑90,140英镑左右的散热器和起动电机约需英镑75.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
There are no shortage of engine options available.还有不乏发动机可供选择. The 100bhp 2.0-litre and 125bhp 2.2-litre turbodiesels are tried and tested powerplants, as is the 211bhp 3.2-litre V6 petrol unit.100bhp的2.0公升125bhp及2.2公升turbodiesels是久经考验发电厂,是211bhp3.2-V6导公升汽油股. Of more interest is a 2.2-litre direct injection petrol engine ?更多的利息是2.2升直喷汽油发动机? Vauxhall?s very first ?狂暴?收盘最初? which cranks out 155bhp and promises real world fuel savings and hefty torque.其中曲柄出155bhp和承诺,大幅节省燃料扭矩真实世界. The other option if you want an even punchier petrol engine isn?t quite so sophisticated but nevertheless may well prove the most popular choice, a 2.0-litre turbo ?four?, good for 175bhp and seen in the Saab 9-3 line up.另一种选择,如果你想更punchier汽油发动机肖国?笔相当精良,但如此便可证明最受欢迎选项一个2.0公升涡轮?四?好,为175bhp,出现在绅宝九月三日排队. Also borrowed from Saab ?还借用绅宝? and Renault ?而雷诺? is the 177bhp 3.0-litre CDTi V6 diesel which marks the top of the Signum tree this common-rail unit was joined by 120 and 150bhp versions of a 1.9-litre CDTi engine which further boosted the Signum?s diesel credentials.是177bhp3.0升V6导cdti柴油标志着这高高的大树signum共轨股和150bhp1.2版本加入了1.9公升引擎,进一步增强了cdtisignum?收盘柴油证书. The entry level 1.8-litre petrol engine which arrived a little later isn?t best equipped to move a car of the Signum?s bulk with any vigour.入门级1.8公升汽油发动机,稍晚抵达肖国?笔会提出最适合的车signum?收盘散装任何干劲.
The Vectra platform has actually proved quite a good foundation from which to sprout the Signum.vectra平台的实际证明了较好的基础上,从萌芽的signum. Fundamentally wide, it allows a number of features to be built into the chunky centre console which subsequently means that the buttons don?t need to be the size of pinheads, something you?ll appreciate when trying to adjust the controls.根本宽它使一批有特色的块状建成中心控制台随后即按下鲍思?笔须pinheads大小、你有吗?当了解到当地要调整控制. Vauxhall have helped by mounting a number of controls on the steering wheel, itself infinitely adjustable.路上已经帮助越来越多的控制方向盘,本身无限可调. Although some of the plastics may disappoint those who expect a genuine premium car, it?s nevertheless on a par with cars like the Volvo S80 and ?虽然有的塑料可能令那些真正期望溢价车?收盘不过是等同沃尔沃轿车一样,s80? whisper it ?呢喃? modern Mercs.现代mercs.
OVERALL 总体
There are quite a few cars that make much better used buys than new and the Signum appears to be one of them.有不少用于购买汽车,比新作更与signum看来是其中之一. If you don?t mind taking a hit on depreciation, it makes a good way of getting a big, well specified, comfortable car for reasonable money but it will cost you over a three year period.如果你鲍思?笔记走击中贬值,使得愈来愈大的好方法,并指明,舒适车成本合理的钱但你超过三年. Wiser buyers may well choose a Vectra now and within a year or so trade up to a Signum when the depreciation curve flattens.高明买主可能选择vectra现在一年半载内贸易也达到了曲线折旧signum时压扁. Although the car?s reputation has taken a bit of a pranging, we suspect the Signum will soon come to be seen as one of the best used buys around, especially in CDTi diesel form.虽然车?收盘声望也有点像pranging,我们怀疑signum即将视为其中最好用来买周围,尤其cdti柴油形式. One to watch.一看.
