VAUXHALL VECTRA (1995-2002)狂暴vectra(1995-2002)
The Vectra was General Motors' response to the ultra-successful Ford Mondeo and the replacement for the Vauxhall Cavalier.vectra的是通用汽车的反应超福特蒙迪欧和成功的路上骑更换. Launched amid a big-budget TV campaign as the car for the next millennium, the Vectra immediately caught the public's imagination and got off to a successful start.发起怒吼大预算的电视竞选车作为下一世纪vectra立即引起了公众的想象力和取得一个成功的开始. The motoring press, however, gave the Vectra fairly lukewarm praise.驾驶新闻自由,但给vectra颇为冷淡捧场. The styling was felt by many to be too similar to the old Cavalier and, apart from those swoopy external mirrors, the Vectra certainly lacked the radical touches of, say, the latest Mondeo.许多人的造型感到太旧骑士相似,除了这些外在swoopy镜子,当然缺乏vectra激进触及,例如最新蒙迪欧. That criticism was addressed partly by the March 1999 facelift which sharpened up the styling a little and brought new engines and tauter suspension and steering to many of the mainstream models.这种批评是针对部分由1999年3月起改版,削尖造型有点带来新引擎和暂停和督导tauter许多主流模式. The new ?hearing aid beige?新?助听器米色? interior colour option was less welcome.内政部颜色选择较少欢迎. As a used buy, however, the Vectra range makes a lot of sense.作为用来购买,不过,有点道理vectra范围. The large range, proven mechanicals and of course, Vauxhall's extensive dealer network all add up to sensible, low cost family motoring.大范围、机电、证明当然,狂暴的广泛经销商网络加起来明智廉租家庭汽车.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫
A well-equipped and handsome car, but one that many consider a little too ordinary.一支装备精良、清秀轿车,但很多人认为太普通. Horses for courses, though, and compared to say, the Mondeo, the styling is certainly restrained.马匹课程,虽然比较而言,蒙迪欧的造型肯定克制. Perhaps this is more appealing to many buyers.也许这是更吸引不少买家. The quality of the interior is a major step forward over the Cavalier and, together with the increased roominess, means the Vectra can be taken seriously as a true family car, in a way that the 'cosy' Cavalier never really could.内政部质量向前迈出一大步,并超过了骑士,连同增加宽广,可采取的手段vectra认真为真实家庭轿车、一种'舒适'骑士从未真正能.
The six-cylinder cars come with sparkling performance as standard and the four-cylinder versions can also hold their own against sportier rivals.6缸车也就有了晶莹剔透的业绩作为标准,四缸版本也持反对sportier自己的对手. Fuel consumption is also excellent even though, model for model, the Vectra is a heavier car than the one it replaced.油耗也很好,即使模型模型vectra是一个沉重的车一比它更换. Higher gearing and engine development efficiency improvements making up for the extra weight gains.传动效率高、发动机开发弥补额外重量收益.

Prices start at around £1,800 for late 1995 1.8 LS saloons, though you need only pay about another £100 or so for the hatch version.大约为1800英镑的价格从1995年底的LS八月一日发廊、虽然你只需要支付约100英镑左右的另一个版本舱口.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The reliability of the Vectra is thus far unquestioned but that's hardly surprising given the fact that its mechanicals are all well known and proven.vectra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. The early Vectras were designed with a bias for Opel's German customers, and overly firm seats, in particular, were noted by UK motoring writers.早期vectras设计与偏见为欧宝的德国客户、过于坚定席位,尤其由英国著名作家驾驶人. Vauxhall moved quickly to deal with this criticism, fitting redesigned seats to right-hand drive cars, though the other main problem, a steering wheel that lacked any form of adjustment, took until the 1997 model year to put right.路上大踏步对付这种批评,重新装修席位右车、虽然其它主要问题,方向盘缺乏任何形式的调整,直到1997年示范代为改正.
GM spent an enormous amount of money developing the Vectra and the thoroughness of its effort shows.通用花费巨资开发vectra和透彻的努力演出. However, there are cars about (mostly early examples) with slight paint imperfections, dashboard rattles and intermittently unreliable engines, so check that all is well with a thorough test drive as well as an interior and exterior inspection.然而,大约有车(大部分早期例子)略有油漆不完善、仪表板、摇铃间歇靠不住引擎所以,一切都很好,没有检查透彻试驾以及内外考察.

The six-cylinder cars are real wolves in sheep?s clothing and the combination of powerful engines and high gearing makes all Vectras relaxing and economical high-speed family cars.6缸车在羊真狼?结合强大的服装及发动机和传动装置使得所有高、经济效益vectras放宽高速家庭轿车.
