VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN (2003 – TO DATE)大众途(2003欧元Â"至今)
Volkswagen took a long time bringing their Touran mini-MPV to market but when it arrived it was received as a job well done.福士花了半天时间把途小型巡逻艇抵达市场但当它接到出色. Available in either five or seven-seat guises, the car was as well engineered as you?d expect from Volkswagen and was powered by a wide range of competent engines.可供选择5至7座残忍、该车并策划你?四、采期望福士广泛主管引擎. If lacking a little in styling flair, the Touran certainly couldn?t be accused of skimping on space and versatility.如果缺少什么造型气派,当然记不起来途?笔被指偷空间和灵活性. It?s still probably the most competently screwed together and solid feeling of any mini-MPV and scores high on the sensible scale.?收盘仍可能是最称职和固体螺纹在一起感觉任何小巡逻艇和得分高的明智规模. Used examples are now starting to appear and they make a sound bet for the longer term buyer.用实例看来,他们已开始吱吱打赌的长远买主.
HISTORY历史
There?s a story, probably apocryphal, that Volkswagen?s designers were already well advanced in their assault on the mini-MPV market when Vauxhall launched the seven seat Zafira in 1999.?收盘了一个故事,大概apocryphal,这福士?收盘设计师已接近其殴打小路上,当巡逻艇发射市场在1999年的7座zafira. Suddenly Volkswagen?s five seat offering looked a little inadequate and the designers went back to the drawing board.突然福士?收盘提供五个座位显得有点不足,设计师回到茫无头绪. Fast forward to 2003 and Volkswagen at last had an entrant in the lucrative mini-MPV sector in the rather generic shape of the Touran.2003快出来了笔试福士终于在有利可图小型巡逻艇部门在途而通用的形状. Why the wait?为什么等待?
Surely it doesn?t take four years to bring a car from the design stage to production, even one as well thought out as the Touran?一定不惜?笔四年带车从设计到生产阶段,即使作为一个深思熟虑的途? Those intervening years saw a huge growth in the mini-MPV sector, with Citroen, Vauxhall and Renault largely carving the spoils up between them, Volkswagen and, surprisingly, Ford having nothing to offer.这些年大幅度增长的干预迷你巡逻艇部门,富康、狂暴和雷诺很大程度上败坏了他们之间的雕刻,以及大众,出乎意料,福特因体育场地. There is, however, a sound technical reason why Volkswagen was so late to the party.是社会主义吞掉台湾,是一个良好的技术之所以这么晚来福士党.
With an entirely new platform designed for the 2004 model year Volkswagen Golf, the top brass in Wolfsburg felt it wasn?t cost effective to build a stopgap mini-MPV based on the ?old?以全新设计平台,为2004年的福士高尔夫示范、沃尔夫斯堡的高层认为.其余?笔经济效益构筑治标小型巡逻艇基于?老? Golf chassis.高尔夫底盘. Instead, they reasoned, it was better to bide their time until this superior set of running gear was available.而是理智,是为了更好秋后直到这个时候上级一套行部室. The Touran was the second car in the Volkswagen Group to adopt a chassis that adopts a sophisticated independent rear suspension system.二是在途的大众汽车集团,以底盘悬挂系统采用了先进的独立后座. This is said to offer superior comfort and better handling, minimising the lurching body roll that can afflict some mini-MPVs.据说这提供舒适、处理好,尽量能滚动身体晃困扰一些小mpvs. An entry-level TDI 90 diesel engine was introduced in the winter of 2004.一个入门级TDI的柴油机于1990年,2004年的冬天.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Slip inside and it has the same quiet feel good factor of all contemporary Volkswagen products.哥境内有宁静利好因素同样当代福士所有产品. The build quality is superb and the ergonomics first rate.建造质量是一流的精湛和工效. Three trim levels are available, S, SE and Sport, and every version gets a six-speed gearbox with the option of a six-speed automatic.三个层次可修剪,硫、硒康每个版本都有六速变速箱与选择六速自动. The diesels are also available with the revolutionary twin-clutch DSG gearbox, as seen in the Audi TT 3.2 V6.柴油也可与革命性双离合器常务变速箱,出现在3月2日奥迪V6导特.
But what of the seats?但该席位? You can?t bring a mini-MPV to market these days without having some sort of new seating stunt for shiny-suited salesmen to demonstrate.你可以吗?笔带一个小型巡逻艇市场这几天不用某种新的座位供发亮特技适合推销员和示威. The Touran has more than one up its sleeve, offering the most practical interior seen since the launch of the groundbreaking Zafira.在途已超过了一手一、内政部提供最切实看到以来动土zafira.
Available in standard five or seven seat guise, the Touran?s seating system is certainly flexible.现有5至7座标准幌子,途?收盘座位制固然灵活. The rearmost pair of seats, whilst only really suitable for kiddies, can fold flat into the floor which means that for most of the time you?ll have an easily accessible and spacious luggage bay.步足的一双席位,虽然只有真正适合kiddies,可以折叠成楼地板这意味着大部分时间你?当地有一个方便和宽敞的行李湾. You can even fold the middle seat of the middle row, making a four seater that can transport long items like skis with supreme ease.你甚至可以折叠中排中间的座位,四个座位,可作长期项目如滑水运输最高踏实. All three of the middle seats slide backwards and forwards on separate runners.所有三个席位中分别下滑来回来去跑.
Quick release levers take care of seat removal and it?s good to see seats that don?t weigh a tonne.快速释放杠杆照顾座位去除它?收盘好的座位,看到鲍思?笔重达一吨. With 39 separate storage areas around the cabin, you may need to make a mental checklist of what you left where.39分开贮存舱一带,你可能需要作出心理清单留下您那里. Included in that number are under seat trays to keep valuables out of sight, three fold-down roof mounted cubbies, a rear under floor bin and more cup holders than the Real Madrid trophy room.这一数字包括正在把贵重物品所在地托盘,脱离三倍向下cubbies登上屋顶,根据现场后方多彬比皇家马德里冠军杯持有室. Pockets in all four doors can accept a litre bottle and there are the usual MPV accoutrements such as seat backs that double as tables and aircraft ?style fold down trays.四个口袋各一门可以接受公升瓶装有惯常巡逻艇等随身座位靠背,如桌子、双机?折叠式托盘下来. Access to the rearmost set of seats is refreshingly easy due to the thoughtful way the middle row flips and slides forward.获得席位的是一套清新步足容易由于连续的周到地踏进和幻灯片中前进.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the Touran start at £13,000 for a 1.6-ltre FSi S in seven-seat guise, on an 03 plate.价格为1.3万英镑途开始为期1.6-ltre控股收盘七个座位为名,在1903年板块. If you?re prepared to trade seats for equipment, you?ll pay about the same for an SE with five seats.如果你?重新准备设备贸易席位,你呢?当地大约相同的付出与硒五个议席. The 1.9-litre turbodiesel can be found from £13,300 for an 03 registered seven-seat S trim while the SE trim costs from £14,800 on the same plate.190公升turbodiesel可以发现从1903年注册为13,300英镑七座位收盘浪硒降低成本而在同一板块从14,800英镑. Insurance for the Touran reflects its mainly mature clientele and starts at Group 6 for the 1.6 S and tops out at a modest Group 9 for the 2.0-litre TDI.保险对象的途开始成熟,主要体现在它的6组160亿次蝉联列第九组在温和的2.0升TDI的.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Although Volkswagen?s reliability record has come under increasing scrutiny of late, the Touran seems to stand up very well.虽然福士?可靠性也受到越来越多的纪录审核后,途似乎站起很好. As with any mini-MPV, check the load area for damage and the rear seats for kiddie devastation but otherwise there?s little to look out for mechanically.正如任何小型巡逻艇,检查负荷面积破坏和摧残,但后座否则为开心?收盘寻找小机械. Check that the front tyres show an even wear pattern and that the car hasn?t suffered any parking knocks and that the wheels haven?t been kerbed beyond salvation.检查前轮胎磨损模式,甚至表现出独具特色的汽车?笔蒙受停车磕磕碰碰,轮子天堂?kerbed笔被超越救恩.
The Touran has cultivated a mature image that deters leaden footed drivers but do look out for cars which have been used as ex-airport taxis or fleet motorway floggers.途培育了一个成熟的形象,妨碍铅足但又好自为之车司机已被用作前的士或机场高速公路舰队鞭. 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 Touran is a sound purchase.另有一途是用来购买健全.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2004 Touran 1.6 ex Vat).(大约2004年的基础上,6月1日前途增值税). A clutch assembly will be around £170 and a new alternator should be close to £130.大会将围绕一个离合器170镑,新发电机应该接近130英镑. Brake pads front and rear are about £45 and £40 respectively.刹车皮前方和后方约45英镑40英镑. A replacement headlamp is close to £145.更换前照灯接近145英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Four engines are available, three of them familiar fare.四引擎供选择,包括3名熟悉票价. The first is the 100bhp 1.6-litre petrol unit that represents the entry-level option.一是100bhp1.6公升汽油的单位代表入门级选择. A 115bhp direct-injection 1.6-litre FSI engine (from £15,630) represents the rather modest pinnacle of the petrol powered bunch although many buyers will be tempted by the broadly similarly priced TDi 100 diesel engine.一115bhp直喷1.6公升引擎的控股(15630英镑)的代表相当温和顶峰汽油一串虽然许多买家会在短期内获得同样的价格大致100TDI的柴油发动机. Offering a decent slug of mid range power, 159g/km CO2 emissions and fuel economy that nudges 48mpg, this is likely to be the favourite of private and corporate buyers alike.程中提供像样塞国二氧化碳排放和燃油经济159g/km,推推48mpg,这很可能是私人和公司买家都喜爱. Should you be tempted by a little more clout when you acquaint pedal with metal, Volkswagen can offer an all-new TDI 136 2.0-litre turbodiesel.如果你诱惑力,当你了解多金属踏板、福士可以提供一个全新的TDI的1362.0公升turbodiesel.
It?s certainly a good deal quicker than the 100bhp engine, reaching 60mph in 10.4 seconds, but it retails at around £3,000 more which is a lot of money in this price sensitive market sector, the SE model opening at £18,410.?收盘快比一定很大100bhp发动机,在4月10日达成60mph秒但零售约3000多英镑,这是很多钱在这个价格敏感的市场,硒示范开幕18410英镑. The reason why budget mini-MPVs have sold so well and the more premium products such as the Honda Stream and the Chrysler PT Cruiser have struggled is that the mini-MPV is often viewed as a grudge purchase, one that has been forced upon the buyer by the onset of children, and one which is often viewed as an overhead rather than a covetable good.之所以预算迷你mpvs都卖得这么好,越补产品如本田和克莱斯勒漫步者溪流中挣扎,就是小巡逻艇往往视为遗恨申购其中已被强迫买儿童发病,这是一个常常被视为间接而非covetable好.
OVERALL 总体
If you want both quality and quantity and don?t mind paying the requisite premium, the Touran is a wise choice.如果你要数量和质量并重、顿河?笔记所需缴纳的保费,途是一个明智的选择. Don?t expect any huge bargains as these cars are in big demand but choose wisely and you should land yourself a tough car which is future proofed for many years to come.鲍思?任何指望笔巨额交易,因为这些车的需求,但大都是你应该明智地选择自己的未来是一个严峻轿车论证岁月.
