VOLKSWAGEN BORA (1999- TO DATE)大众宝来(1999年至今)
Americans and Europeans rarely see eye to eye on matters of automotive taste.美国人和欧洲人就很少完全相同汽车品味. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the comparative sales of Volkswagen Boras and Golfs.这是不通的,更可明显的对比和销售福士golfs不可信. The Yanks can?t get enough of the booted Bora, outselling the hatchback Golf three to one, yet over here the trickle of Boras leaving Volkswagen showrooms is engulfed by the tidal wave of Golf variants.美国佬可以吗?笔够了退出宝来、高尔夫outselling的hatchback12时57、然而在这里留下的滴福士展室是不可信的大潮席卷了高尔夫球变种. So much for the cultural discourse, but how does this impact on the used buyer?这么多的文化话语,但是对如何使用买主? It basically means that if you?ve no objection to having a boot, a used Bora will be in less demand than the equivalent Golf.它基本上意味着如果你吗?味着反对靴、宝来采用了较轻的需求将会超过等值高尔夫球. Therefore, it will be cheaper, enabling you to save significant sums whilst still benefiting from the Volkswagen ownership package that has proved so successful of late.因此,它将会更便宜,让您节省了大量的资金仍然福士受益所有权证明成功的一揽子晚. A Volkswagen for Ford money?一个为大众福特钱? That?s about the size of it.为何?收盘般大小.
HISTORY历史
Booted Golfs go back a long way.退出golfs源远流长. The Jetta was the first, a car with a boot so large it looked like it was trying to claw its way up the rear window and engulf the rest of the car.捷达是最早的,这么大的车,它看上去像一个行李箱有人试图爪层层上报后方其余的窗口和吞没了汽车. To be able to proceed without dragging its posterior along the Queen?s highway when the boot was full, Volkswagen chose to equip the Jetta with rear springs apparently made from a solid billet of steel, thus giving a teeth-shatteringly firm ride.可以毫不拖沿女王后路?收盘时行李箱充满公路、大众捷达与后勤装备选择显然泉水制成了坚实钢坯钢材、从而使一个齿shatteringly坚定的旅程. Resultant sales were minimal.因而销量很小. The Vento came next, with its more sophisticated suspension.<托紧随其后,它更精密停牌. Unfortunately, with its grotesquely distended rear end, it resembled something in a pickling jar at Ripley?s Believe It Or Not.不幸的是,与其不伦不类后方完肿大,就像某人在酸洗罐子在房价?收盘信不信. It too sold mainly to police forces and to human traffickers with a soft spot for quality fit and finish.它主要出售给警察部队和太人贩子与搭品质适合下班.
It wasn?t until the introduction of the Bora in 1999 that Volkswagen proved that a Golf with a boot could be a genuinely attractive proposition.它.其余?宝来推出的笔,直到1999年,福士证明高尔夫球靴可以用要真正身价看涨. Based on the Golf Mk IV, the Bora was, if anything, even prettier than its hatchback sibling, especially in plusher guises.基于高尔夫队四,宝来是,若有的话,甚至比自己漂亮的弟妹hatchback,尤其在车窗残忍. Initially available with five engines, three petrols and two diesels, the Bora had an uphill task on its hands to convert buyers who were passionate for parcel shelves.初步具备五个引擎,柴油及两三个出勤、宝来已在其手中的一个艰巨任务是激情转化为买家包裹货架. The petrol engines were all tried and tested Golf units, kicking off with a 100bhp 1.6, with the ubiquitous 115bhp 2.0-litre unit and the oddball 150bhp V5 supporting it.汽油发动机都是久经考验高尔夫球单位,启动了100bhp1.6随着无处不115bhp2.0公升150bhp股和异类V5环境支持. Surprisingly, there was no place in the Bora range for Volkswagen?s ?default?出乎意料,没有宝来的射程为福士广场?收盘?坏帐? 1.8-litre engine in either normally aspirated or turbocharged guise.1.8升涡轮增压发动机两种,一般送气或假借. Diesel buyers had the choice of two 1.9-litre direct injection turbo diesel engines, one with 110bhp, boasting Volkswagen?s innovative Pump Duse technology, the other with 90bhp, not boasting Volkswagen?s innovative Pump Duse technology.买家有两种选择柴油1.9升涡轮直喷柴油引擎,其中110bhp,吹牛福士?收盘泵滤技术创新,与其它90bhp,不是吹牛福士?泵滤收盘创新技术. Both were well received, and the 110bhp PD engine received a small power boost to 115bhp in October 1999, with a five-speed automatic tiptronic gearbox option being offered shortly after.两人都深受欢迎,并得到一个小功率发动机110bhp钯115bhp提升至1999年10月与五速tiptronic自动变速箱选择开办不久. This engine was in turn replaced by a 130bhp TDi unit in 2001, and the 110bhp unit was reintroduced to give a three pronged diesel attack alongside the budget 90bhp versions.这又是发动机取代了130bhpTDI的单位在2001年因此恢复和110bhp单位给予三管齐下一起袭击预算90bhp柴油版本.
January 2000 saw the introduction of the flagship model of the range, the 204bhp Bora 2.8 V6 4Motion, fitted with, as the name implies, four-wheel drive (in this instance putting this power to the ground through the Haldex-differential of Audi?s TT coupe).2000年1月推出了一系列的旗舰典范,宝来2.8V6导4motion204bhp,装有,顾名思义,四轮驱动(以此为例把这个权力通过地面haldex微分奥迪?收盘特采伐). In December of the same year a number of changes were made across the Bora range.在同年12月修改了多项全国宝来射程. Volkswagen upped the power of the 1.6-litre automatic cars to 102bhp, made a number of cosmetic changes to the wheel choices available, added CD auto changers as standard to Sport specification cars and, most significantly, boosted the V5 engine?s power from 150bhp to 170bhp.福士两派力量的1.6公升102bhp自动车、提出了若干可供选择的车轮表面的改变,自动兑换标准为补充影音运动车和规格,最显着,鼓起了V5环境引擎?从150bhp的功率为170bhp. A sporty ST specification was introduced in summer 2001 to sit between S and SE trim levels available with either the 1.8T engine or the TDI 130 diesel unit.圣轻便规格介绍2001年夏天坐之间收盘水平和硒可修剪花草1/2的130TDI的柴油发动机或单位. The TDi diesel range was reappraised at the end of 2001 to consist of 100, 130 and barnstorming 150bhp Pump Duse variant.柴油的TDI的射程在2001年底重新评价由100,130、泵滤barnstorming150bhp变种. A value added Highline model was launched in early 2004 priced marginally above the SE but offering far superior equipment levels.增值索海模式在2004年初推出,而是提供门票稍高于远胜设备水平.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Despite being pigeonholed as merely a booted Golf, this description sells the Bora short, both literally and figuratively.尽管被束之高阁只是退出高尔夫球,这说明出售宝来总之,无论从字面上和形象. Volkswagen?s compact family four-door now has its own identity; the boldly styled front end, flared wheel arches and a lopped-off, chunky rear all make an aggressive fashion statement that has much more street cred than any Golf.福士?收盘镭家族的四门现在有自己的身分;大胆摆开了前端,阿尔巴尼亚车轮拱门、修剪过的、块状后排进攻都作出声明,更为时装街信用比任何高尔夫球. Certainly, most will agree that the resulting profile is sharp enough ?当然,大多数人会同意由此轮廓不够锐利? in up-market forms at least ?在高档市场形式至少? to make the car a real quality alternative to lower order 3 series saloons, A4s and 156s.真正使汽车品质降低为3系列另类桌球、a4s和156s.
Nor is the Bora much smaller than these two rivals.宝来也不是远比这两个对手. As we?ve suggested, it sits on the same platform as the Golf, but there are some big differences between the pair.正如我们?味建议,坐在同一平台为高尔夫球但有一些大的差异一双. A nine-inch advantage in length over the hatchback gives it one obvious advantage - load space.一个9英寸长的优势,使之成为明显的优势hatchback负荷空间. Luggage capacity is an impressive 16cu ft - almost 50 percent more than a Golf.行李能力是令人印象深刻16cu飞腾几乎50%以上高尔夫球. With the back seats folded, this rises to a cavernous 28cu ft - enough for three or four sets of golf clubs or anything else you may need to carry around.随着靠背座椅折叠、这个上涨至海绵材飞腾够三四套高尔夫俱乐部或是别的您可能需要携带左右. All versions get Volkswagen's 12-year anti-corrosion warranty and comprehensive 12-month overall cover and trim levels are much as you?d find on the company?s other mainstream models ?所有版本得到大众的12年防腐蚀保修和全面12个封面和整体水平都达到减肥吗?丁找到关于公司?其它型号的主流? which means a range from S to SE and Sport.即从收盘至硒康. Standard features on all trim levels include air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, power assisted steering, twin airbags plus front seat side airbags, electric windows and door mirrors and central locking.所有浪级标准特色包括空调、防抱死制动,助力转向、气袋+前座双方气袋,电动窗、门镜中央锁.
The SE and Sport models add remote central locking, an automatic dimming rear view mirror, a windscreen wiper rain sensor, a trip computer and an alarm.硒康补充型号锁定中部偏远、自动暗淡倒后镜,一下雨挡风玻璃雨刮传感器、计算机和警报一趟. They also get slightly larger, 16-inch wheels, provided in the form of racy alloys on the Sport, a trim level that also entitles you to grippy sports seats and a CD autochanger.他们还获得稍大,16英寸车轮,活泼的形式提供的合金体育蟑螂应有的水平,也给你一个座位和影音autochangergrippy体育. If that?s not enough, optional extras include a satellite navigation system and electrically adjustable seats with memory facility.如果?收盘不够,择演员包括卫星导航系统、电动可调座椅记忆设施. In a bid to compete against more upmarket German rivals, Volkswagen has splattered the cabins of higher spec models like the V5 Sport with ?wooden?为在竞争更高档的德国对手,福士已泼洒高光谱舱模型运动一样V5环境?木制? trim and optional leather.修剪、皮革择. While the soft hide compliments the nicely sculpted sports seats in this well appointed version; some customers may find the shiny, fake wood less appealing.而软的好听琢磨争权夺利隐瞒这也是委任议席体育版;有些顾客可能觉得明亮,假活吸引力. You pays your money?你的钱付你?
This apart, it?s hard to imagine anyone finding much else to criticise about the interior.除此之外,它?收盘找什么人难以想象的批评内政部. A wide screen area and low side windows make it bright and airy and the dash layout and controls from the Golf are functional and easy to use.大屏幕面积和偏低使它明亮的窗户,通风管,从布局与冲刺高尔夫球是功能,使用便捷. The adjustable front seats and steering wheel mean drivers of all shapes and sizes can find a comfortable position.可调方向盘、前座司机指形状大小都可以找到一个舒适的位置. Only rear seat passengers may have cause to grumble.唯一可能造成后座乘客怨言. They tend to lose out on head and legroom due to the huge boot.他们往往吃亏在头legroom因巨额剖腹产. There's no denying that the Bora is a well thought out and beautifully built car.还有一个不容否认的是宝来深思熟虑优美,建成了汽车. Just the satisfying clunk of the door as it closes tells you that this is a piece of quality engineering.仅仅满足了一声大门关闭它告诉你,这是一块优质工程. And, as with the Golf, you can rest assured that it has been built to meet all existing and future crash tests and incorporates all the latest safety features.而作为与高尔夫球你可以放心,它已经建成,以满足现有和未来的所有测试,并囊括所有坠毁最新的安全特性.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
If the Bora was a lager it would be reassuringly expensive, with values starting at £4,400 for a 1999 T-plated 1.6 S. Though this is by no means cheap, it still represents a comparative bargain, being £600 cheaper than an equivalent Golf.如果是宝来环节便放心昂贵从价值为4400英镑1999笔镀第160虽然这决非廉价它仍是一个比较便宜,便宜了600英镑,相当于高尔夫球. You?ll need to fork out another £600 for an SE specification, and another £300 on top of that for an SE automatic.你?当地需要花上600英镑另一项硒规格、另有300英镑之上,进行自动硒. Opt for a Bora 2.0-litre and that same 1999 T-plate will cost £4,900 in SE trim or £5,200 for a Sport.选择了宝来2.0公升容量1999笔,同一板块将耗资4900英镑,在5200英镑或一浪硒体育. If four cylinders don?t appeal, a 150bhp V5 starts at £5,400, or just under £6,000 with an automatic box.如果四瓶鲍思?笔上诉,150bhpV5环境始于5400英镑,或略低于6000英镑用自动箱. The 170bhp V5 and 4motion models are rare in the used arena, so compare and contrast values on a car-by-car basis, as prices will fluctuate wildly.4motion典型的170bhpV5环境和难得的用舞台所以比较反差值车逐车计算,由于价格大起大落. Diesel power starts at around £5,000 for a 90bhp S, and another £600 for an SE.柴油机功率为5000英镑左右开始90bhp收盘,另有600英镑的硒. The excellent 110bhp cars start at just under £5,400 for SE spec and £5,700 for Sport trim.在刚刚开始的大好110bhp车下为5400英镑5700英镑硒光谱和体育修剪.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Whilst not quite up there with the likes of Toyota and Subaru in customer satisfaction surveys, Volkswagen have an impressive reliability record and the Bora range has yet to spawn any significant faults.虽然不太喜欢上面的丰田和富士在顾客满意度调查令人印象深刻的纪录,并已建成投产的可靠性宝来程尚未做成任何重大过失. Despite failing to pip the Japanese in terms of ultimate reliability, no oriental rival can even approach the Bora?s bulletproof feel-good factor.尽管未能点子日本人在最终可靠性东方没有办法的对手,甚至可以宝来?收盘防弹感到乐观的因素. Soft touch, rubber and leather Audi-ness has seeped into every pore of the car and it feels unremittingly substantial.软触摸、橡胶、皮革奥迪烦躁已经渗透到每孔的轿车也感到相当坚持不懈. When buying used, look for a decent service record and check the obvious things like panel fit and so on.当购买使用,寻找一个象样的纪录和检验服务小组配合等等明显等等. Boras have never proved particularly popular with the light-fingered fraternity, but it may well pay to get an HPI check, especially on suspiciously affordable examples.不可信从未证实特别受轻指联谊会但也可通过HPI付拿到检查,特别是对可疑得起例子. Despite the addition of more powerful models, the Bora has cultivated a mature image that deters boy racers, the flipside of which is a handful of hard-treated ex-fleet cars.尽管添加更强大的模式,培育了一个成熟的形象宝来威慑赛车、铜板是一小撮硬治疗前车车队. Otherwise a used Bora is a sound and surprisingly cost-effective buy.另有一种用声音和宝来是出乎意料经济效益买到.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1999 Bora 1.6 SE ex Vat) Cue for some sharp intakes of breath.(大约1999年的基础上,宝来1.6硒恩增值税)为线索摄入一些尖锐喘. An exhaust system with catalyst is about £730.排气系统的催化剂约730英镑. A clutch assembly will be around £180 and an alternator should be close to £600.大会将围绕一个离合器180镑和发电机应该接近600英镑. Brake pads front and rear are about £50 and £35 respectively whilst a starter motor retails at around £120.刹车皮前方和后方约50英镑和35英镑的分别虽然起动电机零售120英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Despite its sports saloon pretensions, the Bora never really feels alive in the same way as an Alfa Romeo 156.尽管体育球馆假托,宝来从未真正活着的感觉一样蜜156. The additional weight of all that silicon-damped, auto-dimming, rain sensing, wax-injected quality has dulled the Bora?s senses somewhat.另外,所有的重量硅阻尼、自动暗淡,雨传感、煲注入优质宝来一直压抑的?收盘有所觉醒. Despite this, Volkswagen have managed to cherry-pick the best engines from the Golf range and leave behind the duffers like the 1.4 and 1.8-litre units.尽管如此,大众都能樱桃精选引擎从高尔夫球留下的射程和140一样duffers1.8公升单位. Even the base 1.6-litre Bora is respectably refined, but becomes a bit self-conscious when shown a corner.连基地1.6升宝来是回复精,但变得有点自我意识的时候表现出了一个角落. The most popular compromise in the petrol range is the manual 2.0-litre Sport, which reaches 60mph in 11 seconds on the way to 121mph, performance figures which would leave owners with the prospect of getting acquainted with a receding view of the back of a Proton Wira 1.6 or a Renault Scenic 2.0-litre.最受欢迎的折衷汽油距离手册2.0公升体育在这11秒就达到60mph到121mph方式,业绩数字将使业主与展望结识了防守见背面质子力Wira雷诺风景2.0或1.6公升.
For a bit more power, the used Bora buyer needs to look at the 115bhp diesel, which can return an average of 54 mpg or the lusty V5 and 4Motion models which can?t.为一点权力,宝来用买方需求来看115bhp柴油可回到54的MPG或平均lustyV5环境和型号4motion可以吗?汤匙 The V5 is a good target ?V5环境是一个良好的指标? in its 170bhp form it retailed for the same price as a 105bhp BMW 316, so it?s easy to work out the value proposition there.其形式有170bhp零售价为同一为105bhp宝马316、所以?收盘容易找出存在的价值命题. If you do want the quickest Bora, the 4Motion is streets ahead, with a relaxed air belying its ability to sprint to 60mph in 7.4 seconds before topping out at 146mph.如果你想要最快的宝来,是街头4motion未来航空与轻松落空能力在7.4秒内冲刺到60mph在平顶146mph. It never feels particularly sporting, even when used hard and may disappoint the purchaser looking for a cut price practical alternative to an Audi TT, much of whose underlying mechanicals it shares.它从不感到特别体育即便用辛勤和寻找买主,可能辜负了实际价格降低替代奥迪特、它的背后有很多机电股份.
OVERALL 总体
The Volkswagen Bora is an informed choice for anybody looking for quality, value and effortless style.宝来是大众的知情选择,谁找质量、价格和惬意风格. Whilst it may offer more attractive used pricing than an equivalent Golf, it certainly couldn?t be labelled cheap but if you?re going to buy one try to aim for the 115bhp diesel or the five or six cylinder models.虽然它可以提供更具吸引力的价格比使用同等高尔夫球当然记不起来?笔标签便宜,但如果你吗?再前往购买一个尝试,目的为115bhp柴油机或者五六缸型号. The only customers likely to be disappointed by the Bora are those expecting a wildly entertaining drive.唯一的客户可能会失望宝来是驾驶者较预期疯狂娱乐. Whilst the specs may look promising, the Bora is just a trifle dull on the road.虽然规格看起来是有前途的,只是一件小事宝来沉闷的道路. Still, you can?t have everything.还有,你可以吗?笔都有了. Can you?你能吗?
