VOLKSWAGEN LUPO (1999- TO DATE)大众lupo(1999年至今)
The Volkswagen Lupo Citycar suddenly turned Volkswagen?s reputation for staid design on its head.<大众lupocitycar突然福士?收盘声誉稳重设计发挥得淋漓尽致. With its wacky interior trims, cutesy face and jaunty colour schemes, the Lupo acted as a precursor to the even more extrovert Beetle range, showing that the bosses of Volkswagen had something other than sensible shoes in their locker.与其剧内饰,cutesy面jaunty色调、lupo充当了先驱的甲虫射程更外向、显示老板福士有点理智以外的储物柜鞋. What the Lupo brought to the Citycar sector was a palpable sense of quality ?lupo带到什么citycar界无可质量意识? a factor that had been sorely lacking in many of its rivals, although the Volkswagen was based on the impressive SEAT Arosa.一直缺乏的因素很多竞争对手,虽然福士基于arosa可观席位. As a used buy it?s at the expensive end of the sector, but few rivals have such an upmarket appeal.作为用来买?年底收盘时的昂贵,但很少有这种高档呼吁对手.
HISTORY历史
Launched in February 1997, the Lupo was named after the Latin word for wolf.1997年2月发射,lupo被命名为拉丁字狼. Its appearance certainly didn?t appear particularly menacing, however, but the name was apparently chosen to appeal to females who had a habit of ?naming?外观肯定雾化?笔似乎特别来势汹汹,但是但名字似乎选择了曾呼吁女性习惯?命名? their cars.车. Cynical or smart?玩世不恭或者聪明吗? You decide.你们决定. The range consisted of a base 1.0-litre 50bhp E model, E and S trim levels with a 1.4-litre 75bhp unit and the same designations accompanying a 60bhp 1.7-litre diesel engine.基地范围包括了1.0公升50bhp电子模型权证与一个1.4级和S笔挺公升75bhp、同一单位番号陪同60bhp1.7公升柴油引擎. In May 1999, a more powerful version of the 1.4-litre unit was developed, generating a punchy 100bhp, and this was installed in a new model, the 1.4-litre Sport.1999年5月,一个更加强大的版本1.4公升股发达,一贴100bhp发电、这是一种新型装置,1.4公升的体育运动. A 75bhp 1.4-litre TDI turbo diesel was launched in summer 2000, which boasted an impressive three-cylinder engine.一75bhp1.4-公升柴油涡轮TDI的推出2000年夏季,号称高高三个缸发动机.

Early in 2001, a hot GTI version joined the line-up.早在2001年,但GTI版本加入了热门组合.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫
Until the Lupo arrived, Volkswagen interiors were renowned for quality and were about as much fun as a thumb in the eye.直到抵达lupo,福士腹地,是世界有名的质量大约为拇指乐乐的眼睛. All that was about to change.这一切即将改变. Instead of the usual rather boring layout, it?s all rather a shock.不是通常相当沉闷,布局?而所有的震荡. In a rush of blood to the head, the German designers decided on silver-rimmed Italianate twin instrument dials featuring Allen bolts and soothing blue backlighting at night.在96至头部血液、德国设计师决定银色框意大利展出孪生文书先拨螺栓、和缓艾伦蓝背光在夜间. It?s all rather funky, creating the kind of car that makes you feel good about yourself.?而所有的胆源性、汽车制造那种乐观开朗,让你感觉很好.
Yet at the same time, it all feels comfortably sensible too.但与此同时,它也都感到舒服理智. There?s the unrivalled Volkswagen build quality as well as a host of nice detail touches that set the Lupo apart from sensible Citycars: the expensively textured dash plastics, the soft-return grab handles, the standard seat and wheel height adjustment.?收盘了无可比拟福士建设以及一批素质好,确定详细触及lupo除了理性citycars:昂贵的口感冲刺塑胶软返回抓斗柄,身高标准座位和车轮的调整. It?s all screwed together with just the same kind of quality you?d find in a £25,000 Volkswagen Passat.?连同所有的螺纹一样的品质吗?丁找到了大众帕萨特2.5万英镑. And, just like the Passat, twin front airbags are standard on all models ?而像帕萨特、双气袋是前面所有型号标准? uniquely in this class.这个阶层独有.
Standard power steering is nice too, and new buyers also got a three year unlimited mileage warranty and twelve years of anti-corrosion cover which will be of benefit to used purchasers.动力转向是标准太漂亮,三、新买主还得到了12年一年无限里程保修、防腐复盖后将有利于利用买主. Accommodation?住宿? Well, it?s much as you would expect.那么,为何?收盘比你所能预料的. There?s plenty of room at the front but really comfortable only for kids at the back.?下午收盘前空间很大,但真正舒服只有小孩在后面. Don?t go expecting too much of the boot either, it?s one of those items that makes you laugh aloud when you first encounter it.鲍思?笔走车尾箱要么期望过高,?这些项目的一个让你先笑出来,当你遇到. Rear seat passengers will find their heads uncomfortably close to both the tailgate window and any close-following traffic.后座乘客头部过于接近,会发现无论窗口栏板和任何近距离下行驶.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Used Lupo prices are around £300 to £1,000 more expensive than the ostensibly similar SEAT Arosa upon which it is based.用lupo价格大约为300英镑,比1000英镑类似表面经所在地arosa所依据. This premium shows how much customers are willing to pay to get those cheeky looks and the classily classless Volkswagen badge.这说明补多少顾客愿意付出得到那些看似温馨和classily没有阶级性福士徽章. Opening values for Lupo models begin at £2,800 for a 1999 S-registered 1.0 E, but it?s wiser to pay that little bit extra for a 1.4 E, prices of which kick off at £3,000.lupo型号开始启用价值2800英镑的收盘为1999-1.0电子注册、但它?收盘明智一点额外付出,为一个1.4北纬而在价格揭幕3000英镑. An automatic option for this model will cost around £200 more, whilst the 1.4 S models command from £3,200 for 1999 S-plated cars.自动选择这种模式将耗资约200英镑以上,虽然140型号的3200英镑从1999年收盘指挥镀车. Expect to pay at least £3,700 for a 1.4 Sport, whilst the dizzyingly economical diesel cars start at £3,100 for a 1.7-litre SDi E or £3,300 for an S model.预计支付至少为3700英镑一个1.4体育虽然dizzyingly节约柴油车开始为3100英镑1.7升的SDI五收盘为3300英镑,或模型.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Lupo, along with its SEAT Arosa sibling, is one of the best-built small cars anywhere.lupo的,随着其所在地arosa兄弟,是最好的地方修建小型轿车. Interior fittings, so often manufactured down to a price in most Citycars, are childproof and well made.室内装修,常常制造价格降至最citycars,以及儿童安全. As with most cars which spend a lot of their lives in the urban sprawl and crawl, check the clutches on manual cars and also inspect the bodywork and wheels for signs of parking damage.由于大部分车要花很多生活在城市的扩张,并爬检查离合器手册>,并察看轿车车体和轮子损坏迹象停车. Aside from that, if you can find a nearly new car with warranty outstanding and a decent service history, you?ll have one of the best, if not the cheapest, small cars about.除此之外,如果你可以找到一个几乎与新车保修优秀历史和优良的服务,你?当地拥有世界上最优秀的,如果不是最便宜,约小汽车.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1999 1.0E) Parts for the Lupo are quite reasonably priced; in fact you could say they?ll keep the wolf from the door.(基于大约19991.0e)lupo相当部分的价格合理;其实你可以说他们?当地从大门随时狼. An exchange clutch assembly retails for £120, and an exhaust system with exchanged catalyst is around £330.交流大会离合器零售为120英镑,而排气系统的催化剂约为3300交换. Front brake pads are less than £40 a pair, whilst rears are less than £30.前刹车皮小于40英镑一双,虽然英镑抚养少于30. A new radiator is £90 and one of those cute headlamps retails at just £65.90英镑是一个新的散热器之一,在刚刚那些可爱大灯零售英镑65.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
For most Lupo models the emphasis is on miserly fuel consumption.lupo大部分型号的重点是吝啬油耗. The entry-level 1.0-litre version that most will choose returns a more than respectable 48.7mpg in mixed use.入门级1.0公升版本,多数会选择一个以上的回报尊敬48.7mpg混合使用. Don?t expect fireworks on the move however.鲍思?然而此举对烟花笔预期. Sixty is 18.4s away in this base variant on the way to just 91mph.这个基地是在6018.4s走的路只有91mph变种. Still, the engine?s reasonably willing and anyway, you don?t buy a car like this to be first away from the lights.还有,引擎?收盘愿意与合理反正您鲍思?笔买车首先要远离这样的灯火. If you do need a little extra oomph, the next model up (the 75bhp 1.4) manages 0-60mph in 12.0s en route to 107mph.如果你需要多赚点钱oomph,下一模式管理起来(75bhp1.4)0-60mph12.0s在途中107mph. If that?s not enough, you?re either shopping for the wrong car or you need to try the 100bhp 1.4-litre Lupo Sport, which makes sixty in 10.0s on the way to 116mph.如果?收盘不够你?要么重新购买错车或你需要尝试100bhp1.4-公升lupo体育使得60月在10.0s途中116mph.
The diesel cars are outstandingly economical.邱娥节约柴油车. The 1.7 SDI engined models return a combined fuel consumption figure of over 64mpg, although acceleration is rather limp.170型号的SDI引擎返回合并数字超过耗油64mpg,虽然加速度很瘫软. A zero to 60mph time of 16.8 seconds is not going to quicken the pulse.零到60mph的时间为16.8秒,不会加速脉搏. The 1.4TDI is a quicker proposition, reaching 60mph in around 12 seconds, but these models are relatively expensive and hard to find.1.4tdi的命题是比较快,达到60mph在12秒左右,这些模式比较昂贵,而且很难找到. In terms of handling as well as power, this is not a three-door for enthusiasts.在处理以及权力,这不是一个三大门爱好者. Volkswagen admit that the ride is biased towards comfort, which would make the Lupo an excellent motorway car were it able to be just a little more refined.福士承认偏重乘坐舒适这将使lupo大好高速公路车它能够稍微更精益求精. The automatic options make particular sense if you plan to be doing a lot of city driving.自动选择作特别意义如果你打算做了大量城市驾驶.
OVERALL 总体
On a pure value for money basis, the Lupo is embarrassed by the broadly similar SEAT Arosa.纯就物有所值基础,lupo是尴尬的席位arosa大体相同. Most will pay a premium for those appealing looks, the bold interiors and the Volkswagen badge on the nose.将那些最有吸引力的面貌付出溢价,大胆腹地和福士徽章鼻子. Whilst a used Lupo is nothing if not relatively expensive for what it is, at least there?s a great deal of forethought and quality built into the design.虽然有什么用lupo如果没有相对昂贵的嘴脸,至少有?收盘了大量的预谋和设计质量建成. The best buy is probably the 1.4-litre S model with the automatic gearbox, but if you?re really interesting in recouping some of that upfront price, the diesels are attractive.最好是购买140公升的模型自动变速箱,但是如果你?真有意思再追回,确实有些价格,柴油有吸引力. It?s a cheeky car with pricing that some may see as cheeky.?一个温馨的轿车价格与内容可以看出,一些温馨. Still, for the class-conscious, the Lupo may well be too chirpy to resist.还有,阶级的,可能是太lupochirpy抵制.
