AUDI A2 (2000 - 2005)奥迪为A2(2000至2005年)
Audi makes great play of their prowess in aluminium construction.奥迪实力大玩铝建设. Most people assumed that this method was only used on moon buggies or premium models like the beautiful A8 limousine, but the A2 brought smart, lightweight manufacturing techniques to the likes of us.大多数人认为,这个方法只用在童车或者补月亮一样美丽型号A8规定审但为A2带来聪明轻量级喜欢我们的制造技术. Make no mistake, this is the way of the future and as the world?s first aluminium-bodied production car, the Audi A2 is something of a landmark.不要以为这是公的,并为世界的未来?首铝制健全生产轿车、奥迪为A2的是一个里程碑. Landmarks are all well and good, but the used car buyer is more concerned with landing a good deal than landing on the moon.名胜都很好,但车用买方比较关心的一个很好的协议比登陆月球登陆. Does the A2 offer stellar value second time around or is it merely an expensive oddity?是否为A2提供第二次价值恒星周围还是只是昂贵的流言?
HISTORY历史
When designing the A2, Audi?s engineers were faced with a dilemma.在设计为A2、奥迪?收盘工程师面临两难. The car had to be steeped in the Audi brand values of quality and safety whilst wrapped up in slick design.轿车已被醉心于奥迪品牌价值质量和安全而设计裹着光滑. Doors that thunk shut, cabins that drip with expensive mouldings and feel utterly bulletproof unfortunately tend to weigh a lot.车门关闭,咚、滴灌舱室,同贵模、防弹不幸感到很不容易权衡了很多. Up the weight and you then have corresponding negative effects on performance and fuel consumption.那么你的体重有负面影响的表现和相应油耗. Fortunately, the A8 luxury saloon had laid the ground with its aluminium construction and Audi continued the theme with the A2.幸好豪华的A8规定球馆奠定其地面建筑和铝制奥迪A2的持续与主题.
First displayed to the world at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show, the A2 featured an Aluminium Space Frame body that weighed 43% less than conventional steel construction.首次向世人展现在1999法兰克福汽车展展出的A2的铝框体空间不足,重达43%传统建筑钢材. Its kerb weight of just 895kg was by far the lowest in its class and superb aerodynamics helped fuel economy.其重量仅895kg缘是迄今为止最低阶级和高超声速助长经济. It wasn?t until August 2000 that the first A2 models went for sale in the UK, offered with either a 1.4-litre petrol or a 1.4-litre diesel engine.它.其余?直到2000年8月,第一笔型号为A2出售来到英国,开办要么一个1.4公升汽油或一个1.4公升的柴油发动机. Customers also had the choice of either a standard or plusher SE trim level plus the usual lengthy options list.顾客也可选择标准的或车窗硒水平加上平日笔挺冗长备选名单. Whilst the A2?s history is brief, the world?s first mass-market aluminium-bodied car will doubtless leave a lasting legacy.虽然A2的?历史是短暂的,天下?收盘首次大规模市场铝健全轿车无疑留下永久的遗产. In summer 2002 a mechanically unchanged Sport trim level was introduced.在2002年夏季推出机械不变体育运动水平修剪. At the same time the A2 was treated to a slight upgrading in interior equipment levels and, more significantly, the fuel tank was made a good deal bigger.在同一时间的治疗,以A2的内部装备水平略有提升,更重要的是,油箱作了很大的规模. Just afterwards, a clever 1.6-litre petrol FSI variant was introduced and later we saw a 90bhp version of the 1.4-litre TDI.只是事后巧1.6公升汽油控股变种推出90bhp后来看到一版140公升TDI的.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The A2 makes no secret of its metallurgy, with lovely aluminium detail touches around the cabin on the gear lever stem, the glovebox catch and the instrument dial surrounds.它的秘密不为A2冶金、可爱触及细节与铝制座舱周围的杠杆齿轮干、拨号工具捕捉和手套的包围. The rest of the interior is filled with classy, soft-touch materials, complementing doors that shut with a quality 'thunk' and switchgear that feels hewn from stone.其余的室内充满设备一流、软触材料车门关闭辅助,以质量'咚',觉得这片石开关. It is, quite simply, the classiest cabin of any small car yet made.这是很简单的小地摊车尚未做出任何舱.
But it isn't the most versatile ?但这并不是最多才多艺? especially compared with some of the classier mini-MPVs which may tempt the used buyer.尤其是一些比较小的分类器-mpvs可以用来勾引的买主. Which, given that the A2 is only 12ft 6'' long, occupying less road space than any rival bar the rather cramped Mercedes A-class, is hardly surprising.其中,既然只是为A212ft六月'龙少占用道路空间比任何对手一杆相当拥挤宾士级,实不足为奇. Still, the two individually sculpted rear seats are removable and split fold flat in the usual way to extend the load bay from just under 400 litres to over 1,085 litres of space.还有,两个单独琢磨后排座位可拆除和分裂倍单位将如常湾从刚下负荷超过085公升400公升的空间. The seats themselves are very comfortable and, though there's not much legroom at the back, you don't really notice thanks to Audi's 'Space Floor Concept' - a fancy way of saying that the rear footwells are lower than those in the front.座位前面很舒适,虽然没有太大legroom在后面真感谢你不通知奥迪的'楼空观』--花式地说后方footwells低于前方. If you intend to mostly carry children in the back and don't need the deeper footwell, the space can be filled with optional floor boxes.如果你打算携带子女大多在背面,不需要更深footwell,空间可以充满择楼箱.
There's more innovation when it comes to the engine - though not in terms of the mechanicals themselves.还有更多的创新,但到了发动机虽然不是在自己的机电. What is interesting is that you can't see them - not unless you really want to anyway.有意思的是,你看不到他们,除非你不是真的想反正. The bonnet does not hinge open in the normal way but is secured by two plastic knobs which would normally only be released for servicing.头盖不在乎的正常途径,但不限于担保是由两个塑料把手通常只放行服务. For routine top-up items, you unclip the small shiny black plastic grille panel at the front: this offers access to the dipstick, the oil filler and the windscreen washer reservoir.日常补足物品,你unclip黑色发亮的小塑料花砖小组在前面:这对我们获得的胶体、油、挡风玻璃清洗填料水库.
At the wheel, visibility is generally good with the exception of thickly curved windscreen pillars that block the front three-quarter view badly.在车轮能见度总体上是好的,除了厚厚的弧形座前方挡风玻璃支柱,三季度认为不好. Less serious is the way that the sharply curved rear screen distorts the appearance of cars behind you, making them seem tall and narrow - rather like an A2 in fact.情节较轻的方法,即是尖锐弯扭曲屏幕出现车后座后面你他们似乎高大窄像是为A2实际上. There's no rear wiper, which seems rather mean until you learn that the hatch glass is coated with a 'hydrophobic' coating designed to disperse water (but what about dried-on dirt?).天下没有后方雨刮、这似乎意味着,而直到你知道舱口玻璃涂了'疏水的涂料为了驱散水(但木片上的污垢?). And of course, the slippery shape (Cd 0.28) helps here too.而当然,在湿滑的形状(光盘0.28)有助于此.
Equipment levels include most of the basics, following Audi's usual base and plusher SE formats.包括大部分的基础设备水平,继奥迪的一贯基地和车窗硒格式. Plus of course, there's a long options list, enabling you to carefully personalise your A2.加上当然,还有很长的备选名单,让大家可以仔细个人化你为A2. Otherwise the recipe feels as good as the most luxurious Audi A8, from the slick fit and finish right down to the key - a chunky black transponder into which the key blade slots like a flick knife.否则食谱感觉好最豪华奥迪A8规定,从滑头适合下班以至关键--黑色块状转发到其中关键的一刹那间刀刀一样时段. If only the A2?s shape was a little less dumpy.如果只为A2?收盘为少矮胖形状.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Coordinating Heathrow?s air traffic control armed with a mobile phone and a pair of binoculars is probably easier than finding owners willing to part with their A2s.希斯协调?空中交通管制的手机和手持望远镜可能找到容易得多部分业主愿意与蛇. Should you manage to locate one, expect to have to pay from £6,000 for a petrol-engined model, or £6,700 for the TDI diesel, both on 2000 W plates.你应该设法找到一个,估计也不会付出了6000英镑从汽油引擎模型或TDI的柴油为6700英镑,2000钨板. Add another £500 for SE specification, but beware of cars heavily loaded with options.加上另一个硒规格为500英镑,但提防重车满载选择. Unlike many cars where options add a nominal amount to the residual value, you may see some very expensive used A2s about, due to the fitment of factory leather trim, satellite navigation and so on.与许多地方汽车加期权的剩余价值来收取象征,你可以看到一些用蛇约很贵,由于车头皮革工厂笔挺,卫星导航等. Be especially careful if the vendor?s name is Henry Wakeling, a gentleman who specified his A2 TDI with almost every option on the list, bumping the car?s cost up from just over £16,000 to a massive £24,753.要特别谨慎,如果卖方?收盘名字是亨利wakeling,君子者指定他为A2TDI的几乎每一个选择的名单轿车撞?从刚刚结束的费用为16000英镑24753英镑庞大. He may expect more than the book value.他可能比预期的帐面价值. Audi sales chief Stephen Butt?s subsequent comment was illuminating.奥迪销售行政斯蒂芬屁股吗?收盘后评论读万卷书. "Quite a number of people spend £20,000 on their A2s by the time they have added options? but I think Henry Wakeling must have the record.""不少人花两万英镑对蛇到了他们补充的选择吗?但我认为亨利wakeling要有备案." Appealing to the upper strata of the social ladder, expect A2 values to fluctuate widely as a result.呼吁上层社会的阶梯,预计A2的价值观波动广泛了.
Insurance is a modest Group 5 for standard trim cars or Group 6 for SE specification, though if your car is extravagantly equipped your insurer may well wish to take this into account when preparing a quote!保险是适度修剪标准5组6组车或硒规格、如果你的车是浪费,虽然保险公司设置你可能想借此在准备引用到!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
It?s a testament to the quality of modern Audis that most used guides have nothing to report.?收盘质量证明,大多数采用现代奥迪向导没有报道. ?Too new to report any problems??太新报告任何问题? or ?nothing significant?还是?什么重要? are the usual commentaries on the A2.通常都是A2的评论. Just look for main dealers service stamps, a sheaf of receipts and check for the usual accident or misuse damage.便往主要服务邮票经销商,胶束一般收据及支票意外损坏或误. Other than that, buy with confidence.除此之外,购买信心.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an 2000 A2 1.4SE) With servicing every 20,000 miles and a flap that lowers to allow owners to top up fluids, running the A2 on a day to day basis is simplicity itself.(大约2000年的基础上为A21.4se)每20,000英里服务,降低了瓣,让业主补足流体办好第A2每天简单是自己. Consumables are reasonably priced with an air filter retailing at around £18, an oil filter is £8 a fuel filter is £14 and spark plugs are £5 each.消耗品价钱合理的空气滤清器英镑左右,零售18油过滤燃料过滤是8英镑14英镑火花塞是每件五英镑. A cam belt will set you back in the region of £25.凸轮带你回定了该地区英镑25. Not too painful, is it?不是太痛苦了,是吗?
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Although the A2?s styling may have provoked debate, the car?s road manners are universally agreed to correspond to the VW/Audi template ?虽然A2的?收盘造型可能挑起辩论汽车?大道风度普遍同意的对应64+15/奥迪模板? not wildly exciting, but safe, sweet and imbuing the driver with a massive superiority complex.不狂兴奋,但安全,并使得司机甜了庞大优越感. Mindful of the handling criticism originally directed at Mercedes' A-class, Audi has cut no corners with electronic driving aids.念及经办批评本来是针对宾士'A级、奥迪删减任何角落的电子驱动设备. Traction control and ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution are backed up with ESP, an Electronic Stability Programme that automatically brakes individual wheels and throttles back should you enter a corner too quickly.电子牵引力控制和ABS刹车力分配与后盾除尘器、电子稳定方案,自动刹车车轮和个人应当回进门掐住角落太快.
As to which engine you should choose, though the petrol unit is by no means a bad choice, the three cylinder TDI probably makes the most sense, given its near identical 0-60mph performance and much better fuel economy (50.4mpg as opposed to 34.4mpg on the urban cycle).至于哪个引擎你选择,虽然汽油股决非不错的选择,3缸TDI的最可能使得意义鉴于其近完全相同0-60mph性能和燃油经济性好得多(50.4mpg而非34.4mpg的城市循环). Further diesel benefits surprisingly include better refinement, mainly due to the fact that the much torquier engine shouldn't have to be pushed as much for the necessary performance to be extracted.更出乎意料的好处包括柴油进一步细化、主要原因是,许多torquier发动机不必多作必要推演出将尸体. Which means less gear changing and a more relaxing drive all-round.这意味着少变齿轮传动、更轻松全方位.
OVERALL 总体
If you can find one that?如果你可以找到一个? fits your criteria for budget, condition and colour the Audi A2 is a sound used buy.适合你的标准预算的条件和奥迪A2的颜色是用来买声. Once you?ve swallowed the big admission fee, the A2 is economical to run, looks set to offer exceptional reliability, comes with guarantees of a clean environmental conscience plus, unless the car suffers any of the engineering foot-shooting incidents of which Audi have recently been plagued, it looks set to do well on residuals.一旦你?虚拟吞下大入场费,节约经营是为A2,看来提供特殊的可靠性,⊙保证环境清洁的良心的伟大之处除非受到任何的工程车脚枪击事件而奥迪近来困扰,看来定搞好残值.
It?s certainly no bargain, but then if you?re part of the target market, the upfront cost won?t worry you unduly.?收盘绝不讨价还价,但是如果你?再一部分目标市场,赢得了首笔费用?笔你过份担心. Domestic asset management has rarely been so easy.国内资产管理很少那么容易.
