CITROEN C8 (2002-TO DATE)雪铁龙的C8(2002年至今)
As with buses, it seems you can wait an age for a decent MPV to be launched and then you?ll get three at once.作为与巴士看来你可以等待一个年龄象样巡逻艇将发射,然后你?当地得到三个开启. It happened back in the Nineties when the SEAT Alhambra, the Ford Galaxy and the Volkswagen Sharan all shared a common platform and the Noughties equivalent has to be the Fiat Ulysse, the Peugeot 807 and the car we examine here, the Citroen C8.早在90年代就发生在阿罕布拉所在地、福特银河福士润和所有共同平台和noughties等于已被菲亚特ulysse,标致807和我们的车这里检查,雪铁龙的C8. Of these three vehicles, the C8 has probably registered the highest degree of public recognition, thanks in no small part to the French company?s very aggressive pricing policies.这三个车,大概已注册的C8市民认同度最高,这在很大程度上是由于法国公司?收盘价格政策非常激烈. With a significant number having found owners since 2002, the market for used C8s is starting to look interesting.一经发现大量业主自2002年以来,市场开始寻找用于c8s有趣. Here?s how to find a good one.这里?如何找到一份好收盘.
HISTORY历史
Launched in December 2002, the C8 was a quantum leap forward compared to its predecessor the Synergie.2002年12月推出,是一个飞跃前进的C8相比其前身协同. Although the latter Synergie models had been reasonably well equipped, the fundamentals were badly ageing and with the C8, Citroen liaised with Fiat and Peugeot to develop an MPV that was truly state of the art, offering safety systems and electronic functions that were bang up to date.尽管后者已相当精良协同模式,都缺少基本的C8与老化、菲亚特标致雪铁龙联络巡逻艇,建立一个真正的国家艺术,电子安全系统的功能,并提供被砰到目前为止. The engines offered were a good selection of 2.0-litre and 2.2-litre petrol and HDi turbodiesel powerplants, possibly lacking only a really big banger for those looking for serious power.引擎分别提供了良好的选择2.0公升和2.2公升汽油和延长turbodiesel发电厂、可能只是缺少一个真正的大香肠追缉严重的权力. That said, the C8 was always very much at the value end of this particular triumvirate and as a result sold in some serious numbers.尽管如此,<永远的C8是非常的本底值,因此特别驾马卖出多少有些严肃. The 2.2-litre petrol unit arrived in early 2003 to complete the line up.2.2公升汽油的单位于2003年初完成抵达排队.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The priority of the C8 is, in effect, safety, safety and yet more safety.首要的C8的,实际上安全、更安全和安全. Six airbags are fitted as standard including two side window bags offering protection to passengers in all three rows of seats.六是气袋装置作为标准包括两方窗袋为乘客提供保护所有三个排座位. As well as anti lock brakes with full electronic brakeforce distribution, the C8 also gets electronic braking assistance, a sophisticated stability control package, low tyre pressure warning and hazard lights that automatically deploy under hard braking.以及全电子防锁煞车brakeforce分配的C8也得到了电子制动援助一个成熟稳定控制包装、低轮胎压力和风险警示灯自动部署下硬刹车. Check out (depending on model) the clever ?childview?检查(取决于模式)聪明吗?childview? rear view mirror, the triple sunroofs, the swivelling front seats, the refrigerated drinks holders and the fifty or so storage compartments dotted around the cabin.倒后镜、三重sunroofs,swivelling前座,持有的冷冻饮品及周围50多个仓库车厢如茵机舱.
There?s room for up to eight adults and access for them is made easier by the flat floor and the dashboard-mounted gearlever.?收盘室长达八个成年人和他们接触,是比较容易的楼与楼仪表装gearlever. If luggage rather than people carrying is what you need, Citroen?s patented ?Quickfix?如果有人携带行李是不是你需要什么,富康?收盘专利?quickfix? instant anchoring system will enable you to quickly slide, fold or remove the rear seats for maximum flexibility.瞬间锚固体系将让您迅速下滑,折叠或拆除后座最大灵活性. The boot is enormous, with a maximum load capacity of almost 3,000 litres.车尾箱非常巨大,最大负荷量近3000公升.
Citroen claim that 65% of the C8?s exterior is not shared by either its Fiat or Peugeot counterparts - but again there are statistics and statistics.雪铁龙声称65%的C8的?收盘无论其外观并不赞同或菲亚特标致同行--但有一次统计,统计. In truth the C8 does look very similar to the 807 in particular, with only the grille and the under spoiler looking markedly different to the casual observer.寻到的C8不看的807非常相似,特别只有门锁与展望下截然不同的破坏者散观察员. It?s an odd design, looking adventurously bulbous at the front and rear but with flanks that seem disappointingly generic.?收盘设计奇特,神情adventurously依偎在前方和后方,但似乎失望通用两翼. The same goes for the interior.内政部也一样. It?s almost as if Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat were each given individual briefs with a steering committee to fit the pieces together.?收盘几乎如同标致、雪铁龙、菲亚特瞣个人简介与督导小组配合在纸上作画. There are some wonderfully wacky design cues such as the wing-like structure that arcs across the top of the dash, but this sits above a deathly dull sweep of black plastic which itself sprouts a gear shifter and control panel that appears to bear no design coherence with any of the other parts.有些想法极其线索等设计豪圆弧状结构,横跨在高高的冲刺,但这种沉闷坐在以上扫一片死黑色塑料本身苗波移控小组设计的一致性,似乎并无任何其他部分. Yes, it all seems to work perfectly well, but it?s somewhat patchy in terms of design.不错,这一切似乎工作得很清楚,但它?收盘有点修修补补的设计.
Whilst you may sniff at the aesthetics, functionally the C8 is difficult to fault.虽然你闻美学,功能上的故障的C8难. The seats are mind-bogglingly adjustable in almost every direction.中国科学院心态bogglingly可调几乎每方向. They spin, fold, slide, detach, you name it they do it.他们旋、折叠、滑动、脱离,你的名字是为了什么. Clap loudly and they even jump through a fiery hoop.甚至大声鼓掌通过跳火热箍. Okay, so we just made that bit up, but the combinations are astonishing.没关系,我们只是做了一点表示,但令人惊讶的组合. Four-zone air conditioning helps combat the effect of the three (count ?em) sunroofs.四区空调三个有利于打击效果(胖?电磁)sunroofs. Multiplex wiring allows for such electronic niceties as light sensitive headlamps, automatic windscreen wipers, and speed indexing of the stereo volume as well as rear parking sensors, guide-me-home headlights and remote control operation of the sunroofs, windows, door mirrors and the sliding doors.这种电子线路允许多重一旁轻敏感大灯、自动雨刮、索引的数量和速度,以及后排立体停车传感器指南-我回家头灯和遥控操作的sunroofs,窗,门镜和滑门.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices reflect the fact that Citroen dealers often pull a financial rabbit out of their hats, slashing VAT here, offering £1,000 cashback there and so on.价格反映出雪铁龙经销商往往出于自己掏金融兔子帽,削去增值税这里有1000英镑提供cashback等. As such, a nearly new C8 may well be a whole lot more affordable than you at first bargained for.因此,近一个新的C8可能比你更容易负担了一大堆起初讨价还价. A 52 plated 2.0-litre petrol model with an automatic gearbox can be yours from £10,400 in SX trim but the diesel is a good deal pricier ?52镀2.0公升汽油的模型可以自动变速箱,在SX的修剪10,400英镑从你的柴油是一项很好的协议,但价格较高? reflecting its added desirability ?反映其新增可取? at £12,000.在12000英镑. Opt for the punchy 2.2-litre HDi model and you can expect to pay just over £14,000, again on the 52 plate, although this will land you top of the range Exclusive Captain?s Chair trim.选择的贴2.2公升模范行动,你可以预期支付稍高于14000英镑,52月再次板块,虽然这将土地范围之外您专属队长?收盘浪主持. Insurance reflects the C8?s family friendly image, ranging between Groups 10 and 13.保险反映的C8?收盘家族亲民形象,幅度介乎10及13组.

Despite the abundance of complicated electronics, the C8 has thus far received a fairly clean bill of health.尽管电子而又复杂,迄今收到的C8法案相当干净卫生. As with all MPVs, you'll need to watch for damage to the interior trim ?如所有mpvs,您要注意室内修剪受损? scratches, cracks and so on.擦伤、裂缝等. Make sure your C8 hasn?t lived a hard life as an airport shuttle but by and large the diesel engines can shrug off some surprisingly big numbers on the clock.确保你的C8耕地?笔过着艰苦的生活,但作为一个大型的机场穿梭柴油机能卸多少有些出乎意料的大时钟. Watch out too for parking bumps and scrapes from drivers unused to the car's size.慎防过于坎坷和擦伤停放的轿车司机剩的尺寸. Check for uneven front tyre wear.检查轮胎磨损不均匀阵线. Some of the C8?s minor controls aren?t of the highest materials quality so check to make sure you have all the parts necessary to slide, tilt and remove seats.部分薪资?收盘轻微管制西哈莫尼?笔的最高品质的材料做检查,以确保你所有的零部件要滑梯倾斜,排除席.

Unlike certain MPVs, the C8 is never going to feature as a driver?s choice.不像某些mpvs,是永远不会特征的C8作为一名司机?收盘选择. It feels like a rather lumbering thing and that?s exactly what it is, never really reaching the levels of driver satisfaction offered by the Galaxy/Sharan/Alhambra.感觉相当采伐事是什么?收盘究竟是从未真正达到满意程度司机提供银河系/润/alhambra. It does offer a good deal more interior space than these cars and the electronics systems on board makes them look exactly what they are ?它提供更多的室内空间不是很大,这些车及车上的电子系统,使它们看究竟是什么? cars from a prior generation of MPV development.从车前一代巡逻艇发展.
Four engines are available; two petrol units and a pair of diesels.四引擎复本;两个单位和一双汽油柴油.

The gearchange isn?t the last word in sweet shifting slickness, but a slightly dull-witted automatic is available.<gearchange肖国?笔硬道理甜移平滑,但稍钝自动有所改善.
OVERALL 总体
If unimpeachable quality and slick handling are top of your agenda, the C8 may well disappoint.如果是无可指责的质量和办理滑头顶你议程,可能失望的C8.

If you?re not enthralled about paying big money for an MPV but want something cheap and modern, the C8 is the best of the bunch.如果你?不认同重约付出了大钱,而是想一些廉价巡逻艇、现代、的C8是最好的了一串.
