VOLKSWAGEN GOLF MK IV ESTATE (1999-2004)福士高尔夫队四产业(1999-2004)
Ask most people what a Volkswagen Golf is and most will answer ?a hatchback?, a few will proffer ?a convertible?大多数人一问什么是大众高尔夫最能回答?一个hatchback?极少数会,索赔?兑换? but precious flew will plump for an estate car.但肥美的珍贵遗产将飞赴轿车. The Golf Estate is a curious proposition when you pause to consider it.高尔夫球是一种产业,当你好奇命题稍停考虑. Here?s a car that sells (in hatchback form at least) on the basis of its premium quality and image, yet in the MK IV estate guise we look at here, metamorphosed into a rather dull looking workhorse.这里?收盘汽车销售量(hatchback形式至少)基于其优质形象,但在四队这里看地产幌子,而是变质成为一个员工,从单调. Rather unsurprisingly, this resulted in rather unspectacular sales figures in the UK, with many prospective customers realising that a Skoda Octavia Estate offered many of the attributes of a Golf Estate in a far more affordable package.而想得到,这导致相当引人注意销量在英国,与许多准顾客领悟到了许多优惠小轿车octavia地产高尔夫球产业属性更为包得起. If you do have your heart set on the Volkswagen however, there is no shortage of models available, although tracking down your exact specification and/or colour may well take some time.如果你有你的心定在福士但是却不乏型号、虽然你们确实追查规格和/或颜色可能尚需时日.
HISTORY历史
Introduced in August 1999, the Mk IV Volkswagen Golf Estate was sold alongside its more popular hatchback and convertible siblings, offering those determined to buy Volkswagen a more practical solution.1999年8月推出,四队的福士高尔夫地产卖它旁边较受欢迎hatchback和兑换兄弟,那些决心买福士提供更实际的解决办法. A huge array of engines was eventually offered including petrol options such as the 75bhp 1.4-litre 16v, the 100bhp 1.6 and the 115bhp 2.0-litre.了一大堆提供包括汽油发动机终于期权等75bhp1.4升16v、100bhp和115bhp的1.62.0公升. A 150bhp V5 flagship version was initially offered then quickly dropped, replaced by a four cylinder 1.8T with identical power.旗舰版的150bhpV5环境最初开办然后迅速下降,取而代之的是一个四汽缸1/2功率相同. Some were initially confused by the car?s similarity to the Bora estate, a car which was offered for sale in many foreign markets but which Volkswagen wisely decided not to import to the UK.最初有些迷惑车?收盘宝来相似的地产、一辆汽车被国外市场出售,但在许多福士明智决定不再向英国进口. The brand equity in the Golf badge spelt potentially bigger sales for Volkswagen.品牌资产的潜在大高尔夫球徽章端销售福士.
August 2000 saw the 8-valve 100bhp petrol engine replaced by a 105bhp 16-valve unit.2000年8月8气门汽油发动机100bhp取代了105bhp16气门股. For the 2001 model year, Volkswagen replaced the 115bhp TDI engines with 130bhp units, kept the 90bhp diesels and reintroduced the 110bhp engines, previously deleted when the short-lived 115bhp Pump Duse engine came on stream.2001年为示范、福士取代115bhp与130bhp发动机TDI的单位保持和重新110bhp90bhp柴油引擎当删除以前短暂115bhp发动机泵滤涌现. The TDi diesel range in the estates was reappraised at the end of 2001 to consist of 100 and 130 bhp Pump Duse variants.在屋内的TDI的柴油射程在2001年底重新评价由100和130BHP公司泵滤变种.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
For a start, this car has all the quality of its hatchback stablemate, a standard of fit and finish completely unrivalled in the family hatchback sector.一开始,这个车已全部hatchbackstablemate其质量、完全符合标准,终点在家庭hatchback界无与伦比. At the wheel of a Golf hatch, you feel you're in something much more expensive.在车轮高尔夫球舱口,你觉得你在一些更为昂贵. In the estate, it's the same.在地产,它的一样. Not such a big step from here then, to BMW territory.没有这样一个大台阶,从这里,给宝马领土.
Of course, it depends what model you buy.当然,这要看你买什么型号. There's not much chance you'd imagine yourself behind the wheel of a 3 Series or an A4 seated in a base Golf Estate 1.4E.有机率并不落后,就会想到自己的车轮一3系列或者坐在基地的A4高尔夫地产1.4e. The boxy looks don't shout 'lifestyle' either, though standard roof rails help provide a purposeful look.盒看起来不喊的'生活方式',虽然提供了针对性标准屋顶铁轨帮助寻找. At least Volkswagen has done the job properly with an estate conversion that makes this bodystyle 248mm longer than the standard hatchback.至少福士所做的工作做好了,就使这一产业转换bodystyle248mm长于标准hatchback. The rear doors for example, are unique to this model, ensuring that the extended rear compartment blends in smoothly with the rest of the car.后座车门为例,这是独一无二的模式,确保原油顺利延伸车箱与世界汽车.
If you own a MKIII Golf Estate, or one of its obvious rivals, you're more likely however, to be interested in the practicalities.如果你拥有一mkiii高尔夫地产,或者其一个明显的对手,你更可能但是有兴趣的实用性. Well, it's a mixed story.那么,这样的混合故事. With its rear seats folded, the latest version has 1470 litres of luggage space - 45 litres more than its predecessor.其后座折叠、最新版本有1470公升的行李空间-45公升超过942. However, with all the seats in use, the total volume (460 litres) has actually gone down slightly.但是,所有议席使用,总容积(460升)竟然轻微下降. The latest Golf wagon also lags slightly behind its Focus and Astra estate rivals in this respect - but beats them both for day-to-day practicality.最新的高尔夫旅行车还滞后于地产略逊于对手的重点和雅特这方面--但他们都为节拍日常实用性.
For a start, there's a superbly flat squared off load bay with no suspension turrets intruding to restrict the width.一开始,有一座方型单位涌过负荷无悬浮炮塔入侵限制宽度. There's also plenty of storage space for knick-knacks, with door bins and a useful under-floor stowage area above the spare wheel.还有还有很多储存空间供销-诀窍,同门箱及有用副装载地板面积以上备用车轮. Lidded panniers either side of the boot area house a first aid kit and the CD autochanger now standard on the V5 version.封装箱行李箱面积房子旁边一个急救箱和唯autochanger现在V5环境标准的版本. Other nice touches include four chrome lashing hooks to tie down awkward loads and a 12 volt power point housing in the boot wall.尼斯触及其他包括四个铬淘钩掣尴尬和12伏特电力负荷点房屋在车尾箱墙. As you'd expect, the rear seats split-fold 60/40, though you have to remove the rear head restraints to fold them flat.作为也不逊色,后座分裂倍60/40、虽然你消除束缚后脑折单位. At least there are designated places for them to go.至少有指定去处. The tailgate opening is wide and extends down into the bumper to give a low loading height.广开栏板延伸到保险杠下来给低负荷高峰. The sill is protected by a metal plate to protect the floor from wear and scuffing as heavy items are loaded and removed.坎是受了一个金属板保护层楼作为重型胶合磨损、装载物品及拆除. Oh and you can specify bars that attach to the roof rails and allow you to carry skis, mountain bikes or an aerodynamically designed roofbox.哦,你也可以订吧,对屋顶栏杆,让你携带滑板,山地自行车或roofbox气动设计. All typical German attention to detail.典型的德国注重细节.
The range of models on offer broadly reflects that of the standard hatchback (though there's no GTi variant).各种型号额的标准大致反映出hatchback(虽然没有GTI组变种). That means three trim choices (E,S and SE), plus that available for the top of the range 1.8T.3浪即选择(五、收盘、硒),加上这顶可射程1/2. This model includes fully automatic air conditioning, 16'' alloy wheels, a sports interior, automatic dimming rear view mirror, rain-sensing wipers, an alarm and all-round electric windows.这种模式包括全自动空调、16'合金轮,室内体育场、自动暗淡倒后镜,雨水传感刮水器、报警等全方位电动窗. Even entry-level E models however, come with twin front and side airbags, ESP and ABS.即使入门级型号的电子然而,随之而来的双侧面气袋,以及ABS的除尘器.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Although they didn?t exactly fly out of showrooms from new, Golf Mk IV Estates are proving surprisingly solid used buys.虽然雾化?笔刚好飞出展室从新、高尔夫队四屋证明购买使用固体出乎意料. A 1999 T-registered 1.4E opens at £4,800 but with all that weight to carry around, the 1.4-litre engine isn?t the best place to start.1999笔注册1.4e开幕4800英镑,但全部重量大约携带、1.4公升引擎肖国?笔的最佳地点开始. The 1.6-litre cars are much better, and these start at £5,300 for a 1999 T-plated 1.6 S, or £6,700 if you go for one of the later 2000 X-plated 105bhp versions.160公升轿车好得多,这是1999年开始为5300英镑笔镀1.6S号如果你到6700英镑,或为一晚2000×镀105bhp版本. 2.0-litre cars start at around £5,400 on a 99T plate.2.0公升汽车启动了5400英镑左右99t板块. The desirable diesel versions start at £6,200 for a 110bhp 1999T plated SE trim level.理想柴油版本开始为6200英镑110bhp1999t镀硒浪平. The powerful 130bhp variants kick off at around £8,500 on a 2001 Y plate.强大的130bhp变种揭幕8500一2001英镑左右肽Y盘.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen.如果一切只为大众生活可靠. Would make a good advertising slogan, that.一个好的广告会使口号. In all seriousness, the Golf has had an impressive reliability record although it was never quite able to pip Japanese rivals in reliability surveys.一本正经,高尔夫球可靠性有骄人纪录,虽然这并非日本的对手很能点子可靠性调查. Perhaps this is of secondary importance to the way the car feels.也许这是次要的车程感觉. Even if it?s not 100% bulletproof, a Golf will always feel better built than its rivals and that counts for a lot.即使它?收盘不是百分之百防弹,建高尔夫球永远比对手更好的感觉,很多项. 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. Golfs are favourites with car thieves, so it may well pay to get an HPI check.golfs都喜爱与偷车贼,所以很可能付出的HPI拿到检查. You?ll also need to look for high mileage estates used by companies to haul samples from one end of the country to the other.你?当地还需要寻找高里程样品屋公司所采用的毒品从一月底到其他国家. Pay close attention to odometer readings and look for the usual signs of intergalactic mileages.密切注意里程表读数和寻找惯常迹象星系际哩. Otherwise a used Golf Mk IV is a sound purchase.另有一种用于高尔夫球队四是健全采购.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1999 Golf 1.4 Estate ex Vat) An exhaust system is about £65.(大约1999高尔夫1.4基于地产恩增值税)排气系统大约65英镑. A clutch assembly will be around £70 and a new catalyst will be around £60.一英镑左右离合器大会将于70、新催化剂将60英镑左右. An alternator should be close to £50.一个发电机应接近50英镑. Brake pads front and rear are about £25 and £23, respectively.刹车皮前方和后方约25英镑和23英镑,分别. A replacement headlamp is close to £65.更换前照灯接近65英镑. A windscreen should be in the region of £90.车辆的挡风玻璃,应在该地区90英镑. Major and minor services are around £75 and £35 respectively.大大小小的服务是35英镑和75英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Golf?s reputation as the car that would corner on three wheels with steering that danced in your hands and a chassis that made the keen driver?s eyes light up is a bit of ancient history now.高尔夫球?收盘美誉的角落三个轮子的汽车,将与督导,并在你们手中舞动了底盘,使热衷司机?收盘眼睛发亮,现在是有点古代史. The Mk IV Golf is a far more urbane creature, looking disdainfully at such juvenile antics.四是高尔夫球队的得多彬彬有礼动物,神情不屑于这样的少年点滴. Even the GTi models are smooth, refined and syrupy, with none of the verve of old models.但GTI型号更是顺利的、精、syrupy,没有充沛的旧模式.
Many drivers will lament this metamorphosis, and turn to French or Japanese rivals instead, but for many others it will be a significant benefit.许多司机感叹这个变态,转到法国或日本对手反而但许多人将会带来重大利益. The Golf really does feel like a £25,000 Passat inside ?高尔夫球真的感觉帕萨特2.5万英镑内? it?s only when you glance over your shoulder that you realise that you?re in a compact estate.?收盘时仅比你一眼,你知道你的肩膀吧?在重新紧凑遗产. Buy a model with air-conditioning, decent stereo and an automatic gearbox and you?ll have the perfect antidote to road rage.买一个模型有空调、音响、自动变速箱和体面吗?当地有完美解毒道成怒.
There are seven different engines choices: a 75bhp 1.4, a 105bhp 1.6 and a 115bhp 2.0 as well as the 150bhp 1.8T.共有七种不同的引擎选择:一75bhp1.4一105bhp和115bhp1.6以及2.0150bhp1/2. Diesel fans meanwhile, get a choice of 68, 100 and 130bhp units.柴油歌迷同时,抓紧选择68、100及130bhp单位. If you?re commonly likely to be hauling around heavy loads, the 1.4-litre model is probably best avoided, but the others should feel willing enough.如果你?通常可能被重新拉重物左右,1.4公升的最佳模式可能是避免但别人愿意应该感到不足. The 1.6 and the 2.0-litre units manage sixty in 11.5s and 11.4s on the way to 119mph and 121mph respectively.<2.0和1.6公升60个单位在11.5s和11.4s管理办法>和119mph121mph. At the pumps, they average 39.8mpg and 35.3mpg.在水泵,平均39.8mpg和35.3mpg. Under the skin, there are few dynamic differences between the estate and its hatchback counterpart, though the rear suspension has been tuned to take the extra weight.皮肤下,有几个不同产业动态及其hatchback对口虽然已经暂时停工后方调谐采取额外重量. The result is a slight reduction in body roll, though the ride isn?t quite as absorbent.结果略有减少身体滚,虽然搭渡?像吸水笔.
OVERALL 总体
Although the styling hasn?t dated particularly elegantly, the Volkswagen Golf Mk IV Estate makes a sound purchase.虽然造型独具特色.特别雅致笔月,福士高尔夫队四地产健全使得购买. If you plan on using it for some heavy duty work, it?s best to opt for a turbodiesel powerplant, and it?s impossible not to take a shine to the rather naughty TDI130 unit.如果你计划使用一些重型工作吗?收盘最佳选择了turbodiesel电厂、它?收盘不可能不采取看中了相当调皮tdi130股. The 1.4-litre petrol model is best avoided unless absolutely necessary but otherwise there?s little to go wrong.140公升汽油的模式,但除非必要,否则尽量避免?收盘很少出错. Track down an honest example with realistic mileages and you should team up with a faithful workhorse imbued with a little feel-good quality.追查诚实与现实例子,你应该组队哩忠实员工,充满了感觉有点好品质.
