Rarely has a car undergone quite such an image transformation over the course of one generation than Audi?s A4 Cabriolet.很少有一辆车经过这样一个形象颇为改造过程中,一代比超过奥迪?收盘的A4cabriolet. Whereas its predecessor was regarded as a rather outdated if elegant cruiser, the post 2001 model is right up with the best as far as four seat convertibles go.而其前身,被视为高雅而过时如巡洋舰直到01年后的最佳模式是尽量去convertibles四个席位. With a far stiffer chassis than the old car ever got and better engines to boot, the A4 Cabriolet offers those looking for a genuinely dynamic drive a number of options.远远超过了严峻的旧汽车底盘,并不断取得较好引擎长靴、追缉的A4cabriolet提供了一个真正的动力有多种选择. The choice of quattro all wheel drive transmission and a quality diesel engine differentiated Audi?s offering and ensures that new cars sold well and used examples command strong residuals.选择所有慑人轮驱动传动及优质柴油机区别奥迪?收盘提供并确保新车销售和使用好例子指挥有力残值. Bargains may be rare but then so are potential lemons.可是这么难得的讨价还价可能是潜在的柠檬.
HISTORY历史
Launched in the final days of 2001, the Audi A4 Cabriolet was a massive technical stride ahead of its predecessor.2001年的最后几天推出,是一个庞大的技术cabriolet奥迪A4规定提前942步. It was also good enough to be considered a model in its own right, sharing not one body panel with the Audi A4 saloon.与会者还审议了足以示范本身,没有一个机构与共享小组奥迪A4号房. Customers were initially offered a choice of 2.4-litre or 3.0-litre models in front-wheel drive or Quattro form.最初提供客户选择2.4升或3.0公升型号门前轮驱动或慑人形式. As well as a conventional manual gearbox a CVT (continuously variable transmission) version was also offered.以及传统的手工变速箱无级变速(无级变速)版本还优惠. A 1.8T entry level model and a 2.5-litre TDi version were soon added to the range, along with a Multitronic CVT gearbox.一中高级职示范和2.5公升TDI的版本很快被充实到靶场随着Multitronic无级变速变速箱. Given the success of BMW?s M3 Convertible, it was not surprising that an Audi S4 Cabriolet was offered for sale in the UK in Spring 2004.由于成功的宝马?收盘立方米兑换这并不奇怪,奥迪四至cabriolet出售在英国2004年春季.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
In a class full of particularly pretty cars, this one stands out, even against drop-top versions of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes CLK.在阶级充满特别漂亮车,这名男子身高列、即使对落顶版本的宝马、奔驰赤三号系列. And it costs less than either ?而且成本低于要么? which is helpful for the predominantly private band of buyers who tend to fill the order books.一切有利于私营为主的乐队买家倾向于填补秩序书籍. New prices are around £3,000 and £5,000 less than BMW and Mercedes alternatives ?新价格约为3000英镑,低于5000英镑的宝马、奔驰呢? depending on which model you choose.依靠这样的模式你选择. Heck, it?s even better value than the ancient Saab 9-3 Convertible, a car out of its depth on anything other than a motorway.啥米,它?收盘价格更比九月三日古老绅宝兑换车出了什么问题深入高速公路以外. Mind you, don?t go expecting this Audi to be a hot rod in the handling stakes: Ingolstadt says that their TT Roadster (which costs similar money) fulfils that role.记住,鲍思?奥迪期待这次笔会是一个热点,在处理利害杆:其特说塔特奥迪跑车(类似费用款项)履行职责. BMW still leads the class in this respect but owners of the soggy old ?91-?00 Cabriolet will be surprised how much better this one is.宝马公司仍处于领先地位,但在这方面拥有一流的老一代?91-?1900年cabriolet将会是一个惊奇这个好多少.
Of course, it darn well should be a lot better, given that the previous model was based on a car with a design dating back to 1986.当然,这要好得多,缝补好,鉴于以往的汽车模型,是基于同一种设计可追溯到1986年. Sure enough, the latest version is 112% stiffer and, more importantly, tauter than its two main German rivals.果然,最新版本是112%加重,更重要的是,它的两个主要tauter比德国对手. As a result, scuttle shake has been almost banished and general vibrations of all kinds should be virtually impossible to detect.由于被放逐和几乎动摇凿一般应各种振动几乎无法察觉. Though the general set-up is soft, roll has been kept in check, enabling you to push on with vigour when the need arises.虽然一般的设置是软的,一直在查册、让你把需要的时候就与魄力. You?ll quickly tire of tyre-smoking antics in this car however, and settle back in the more tranquil mode that suits it better.你?当地很快轮胎轮胎吸烟点滴在这车但是回来定居的模式更适合宁静美好.
Your passengers will thank you for that of course ?谢谢你的乘客,当然会? and in this case, there could easily be three of them.而在这种情况下,容易受到三名学生. Instead of providing rear seat accommodation good only for kids or lifts down the pub, German coachbuilder Karmann (who also build the Mercedes CLK Cabriolet) have worked with Audi to create a true four-seater.而不提供良好的住宿只有后座小朋友或电梯下来酒吧德国coachbuilderkarmann(卫生组织还建立梅赛德斯赤cabriolet)曾与奥迪创造一个真实四个座位. They claimed that about the old car of course, but as anyone who had to endure a back seat perch on long journeys will know, they lied.他们称对旧汽车当然但任何人都承受了冷板凳鲈鱼就知道长途跋涉,他们说谎. This time, thanks to a body that?s 207mm longer, 50mm wider and 99mm longer in the wheelbase, the designers have at last delivered.此时,由于身上?收盘长207mm、50mm的广泛和较长故常在轴距、最后发表的设计师. According to the figures, there?s 52mm more rear shoulder space and 66mm more rear knee-room.据数字显示,有吗?收盘2+0.8更多空间和后排肩膝关节后方多6-15室. So yes, you and your drinking partners really can go touring.这样的话,您和您的伙伴真的可以喝参观. Mind you, don?t go carrying too much baggage: though the boot capacity is 26 litres up on the old car, that still only means 246 litres with the roof down (or 315 litres with the top up): enough space for two golf bags in real terms.记住,鲍思?笔走携带太多行李:行李箱容量为26升,虽然对旧汽车、这意味着仍然只有246公升,与屋顶下来(或315公升,与补足):空间够两个高尔夫球袋实质.
On to the beautifully lined three-layer roof which hides beneath an aluminium-trimmed solid tonneau cover when not in use.在优美的林荫三层屋顶,躲在下方的铝固体修剪tonneau封面岸上. Electrically operated of course, it opens or closes in 24 seconds and there are no fiddly manual latches to break your nails on before you can press the button.电动当然它在24秒内开启或关闭,没有打开你的指甲锁存fiddly手册>后就可按下按钮. The whole thing can also be done from the outside of the car by using the remote control keyfob.整件事也可以从外面做了keyfob车用遥控. Unfortunately, the wind deflector (essential if you want to comfortably drive with the roof down at speed) costs extra and, to add insult to injury, it effectively reduces your car to a two-seater.可惜风偏转(必不可少如果你要驾驶舒适屋顶大吉速度)的额外费用,落井下石,有效地减少了你的车两个座位. The rear window is a proper heated glass affair and there is of course an optional hard top, should you want to drive your car day-in, day-out all winter.屋后窗户玻璃加热是正当的事,当然是择难顶你想你的车驾驶应该每天淘汰所有的冬季.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
The Audi A4 Cabriolet holds onto its value with grim determination.奥迪A4规定cabriolet抱的价值严峻决心. Even the least popular model, the front wheel drive 2.4-litre without the Sport and with the CVT gearbox will command £20,000 for an 01 51-plated example.即使最热门的模式,前轮驱动2.4公升的体育运动会,并与无级变速变速箱指挥了1951年1月20,000英镑镀例子. Given this car retailed for £25,420 new, it?s easy to see why these cars have rewarded owners with relatively inexpensive prestige motoring.鉴于这种新的汽车零售为25420英镑,?收盘难怪这些车相对便宜威望奖励车主驾驶. If you really want to tear tarmac, the Cabriolet 3.0-litre Sport is the best pick and these can be found from £21,000 if you choose a manual gearbox or £22,500 with the CVT box.如果你真想撕裂停机坪,<cabriolet3.0升运动就是最好的选择,这可以从发现如果你选择了21,000英镑手册变速箱与无级变速箱或22,500英镑. The 2.5-litre TDi is an interesting proposition, Audi obviously having faith in the car?s refinement and a manual Sport version can be found for £22,500.2.5升TDI的命题是一项有趣、奥迪轿车显然有信心吗?收盘细化和体育版手册可以找到为22500英镑. The 1.8T models instantly became the best sellers upon introduction and the first 52-platers are around for £21,300.1/2型号的瞬间成了一经推出,首畅销52platers大约为21300英镑.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
There are no particular problem areas with any of the cabriolets.尤其是没有任何问题的cabriolets兼有. Audi's extensive corrosion proofing and excellent build quality ensure that all its cars are long lasting.奥迪广泛腐蚀打样和优良品质,使各项建设车长久. Check any car for a full service history, of course, and don't forget to make sure the fabric hood is without slash-repairs, is waterproof and fits as it should.任何车进行全面检查服务历史,当然别忘做到无迹面料方巾-修理,是因为它正好应防水. The interior may be slightly sun-damaged, especially models with leather trim, so have a good look around the top of the dashboard and seats.内政部可能稍稍太阳损坏,尤其模范皮革修剪、有这么好的四顾顶部仪表板和座椅.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 2003 A4 1.8T Cabriolet) A clutch assembly kit will be around £205 and an exhaust system (without catalyst) will be about £250.(基于2003年大约1/2的A4cabriolet)离合器装配套和205英镑左右将排气系统(无催化剂),将会有大约250英镑. An alternator should be close to £120 and a radiator around £160.一个发电机应接近120英镑和160英镑左右的散热器. Front brake pads are around £75, rear brake pads will be £50.前刹车皮是75英镑左右,英镑将后方刹车皮50.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
As with all A4s, the build quality is brilliant, with every control you touch clicking beautifully into place.如所有a4s,建设质量是辉煌的,而每点击控制你触摸到美丽的地方. You can enjoy it all on the move too, thanks to a supple ride and impressive refinement aided by a class-leading 0.30Cd drag factor: this car makes less of a hole in the air with the roof open than the BMW 3 Series Convertible does with it closed.你就可以享受这一切举动也感谢曳坐、细化加上可观级领导0.30cd阻力系数:这车少了一个大洞,使空气与露天屋顶比宝马三号系列兑换是否与它关闭.
Which is just as well, at least from a fuel consumption perspective, given that the car is so heavy: at some 1580kg in weight, it?s 155kg more than the saloon and 150kg more than the old car.就像是好,至少从油耗的角度来看,既然是这么重车:重量约1580kg,它?收盘155kg以上150kg以上的球馆、旧汽车. As a result, you?ll struggle to get much more than 20mpg around town in the 3.0-litre.由于你?当地争取比20mpg镇周围3.0公升. Audi has its excuses ready on this one, as you?d expect.奥迪准备在这其中有其理由,因为你吗?丁期待. It?s all apparently necessary to create that class-leading rigidity, incorporate the electro-hydraulically operated roof and meet current safety standards (there?s the usual complement of front and side airbags).?显然,创造一切必要的阶级领导生硬、包含电液操作符合现行的安全标准、屋顶(?收盘通常补侧面气袋). There are twin roll bars to carry around for example: these automatically pop up in a blink of an eye behind the rear head restraints should the car be in danger of rolling over.有双辊酒吧带着例如:这些自动流行起来眨眼后面的车后座头垫应予以险些滚过去.
Whatever the reasons, the result is that, even in top 3.0-litre form, the performance on offer is likely to feel, shall we say, rather relaxed, even if blank paper figures (0-60mph in 7.8s en route to 151mph) suggest otherwise.不管什么原因,其结果是,即使是最高3.0公升形式业绩总额可能觉得,都可以很轻松即使一纸空文数字(0-60mph在7.8s途中151mph)提出建议. Remember this if you?re thinking about one of the smaller-engined versions.如果你记住这?重新思考一个较小的引擎版本. At least the 2.5TDi can average nearly 40mpg.至少可以2.5tdi平均将近40mpg.
OVERALL 总体
When it first appeared on the market, Audi?s A4 Cabriolet managed to make everything else look a little old hat.市场上出现时,奥迪?收盘的A4cabriolet设法使一切看来有点陈旧. Even now it?s still where many would choose to put their money.即使现在?收盘依然有许多人选择把钱包. Class and quality don?t come cheap, however, and you?ll need some serious disposable income to get behind the wheel.一流的质量和顿河?笔便宜,但是,你呢?当地一些需要认真支配收入得到后面的车轮. Once there you won?t need too much convincing that you?ve made a good choice.一旦你赢了?笔需要太多信服你?虚拟了一个好选择.
