FIAT CINQUECENTO (1993 - 1998)菲亚特cinquecento(1993至1998年)
The story goes that when the first Fiat Cinquecentos rolled onto the showroom floor of one local dealership, an eager customer waved a cheque under the head salesman?s nose.传说当第一陈列室地板上滚菲亚特cinquecentos一个当地行为热心顾客挥舞支票头下叫卖?收盘鼻子. "I?d like one of those chubby-checkers please... " Ever since then, the cute numerical Italian name (translated as ?500? and pronounced ?ching-kwee-chento? by the way) has provoked tongue twisting at Fiat dealers from Lands End to John O?Groats."我?丁一喜欢那些胖-请查::"从那时起,意大利可爱数值名称(译作?500?而宣判?清由Kwee-钦布?由程)已挑起舌头扭在菲亚特从土地交易结束澳约翰?groats. Not that it appears to have put customers off.这似乎已不把顾客客.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A fantastic city car, especially the Sporting, which is very zippy and charges into gaps that only a Mini could challenge it for.一个神奇的汽车城,尤其是体育,这是很费纳入zippy空白,只有一个迷你可挑战. The other Cinquecentos are much slower (0-60 is a paint-drying 20 seconds) and less likely to get you revved up and grinning from ear to ear as you negotiate roundabouts.其他cinquecentos都很慢(0~60是油漆干燥20秒)和不易取你引擎和笑得合不拢嘴你谈判回旋.
Standard equipment extends to central locking, sunroof and electric windows on the SX and Sporting.标准装备延伸至中央锁、天窗、电动窗>萱及运动. The mini-hot hatch also gets sports seats, a rev-counter and a choice of either bright yellow or red paint, though for would-be dark and mysterious types, a deep black lustre is also available.迷你体育热点舱口也得到席位,晨曦柜、可选择亮红色或黄色油漆,虽然对于将要黑暗、神秘类型,也可深黑色光芒.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
You'll find that prices for the first 1993 S models will start as low as £500 with later 96N plate cars closer to £1,000.你就会发现,收盘价为1993年第一型号开始低至500英镑的汽车板块与后来96n接近1000英镑. A better equipped, late, low mileage 98R SX will probably cost you around £1,100.装备更好,后期低哩西瓜SX的4,500英镑1100左右你们.
The Sporting was much in demand when it first arrived.体育需求时十分抵达首. Early 95M cars start at around £1,000 and a 98R-plater will be more like £1,250.95M号车提前展开了1000英镑左右西瓜-薄板将更像1250英镑. (Many people paid over list price for these for quite a while, such was the demand.)(很多人付出了代价,这些名单中已有一段时间,这是需求.)
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
All Cinquecentos were built at Fiat's Polish plant and the quality was unbelievable compared to what once came out of Eastern Europe.所有在建cinquecentos菲亚特的质量是不可信的植物和波兰相比有何一度传出东欧. These cars are very solid for such tiny machines and the doors shut with a firm thump.这些车都是十分坚实这种小小的机器门外以坚定噔. The interiors need to be looked after but generally stand up well.内部需要照顾,但一般站立.
Engines are well known from other Fiats (the heritage goes all the way back to the 903 of the late ?60s) and have proven reliable, though some cars have experienced noisy tappets.来自其他知名引擎议(遗产宁可千里迢迢回到了903的晚?六十年),已证明可靠虽然经历了一些车挺嘈杂.
Corrosion is not likely to be an issue as Fiats have been well protected for years and most of these cars are still fairly young, anyway.腐蚀不太可能的问题也得到了很好的保护,作为议多年,其中大部分汽车仍比较年轻,反正.
Make sure the Sporting you're looking at hasn't suffered a major smash.让你看运动并未遭受重大打击. Many were bought by enthusiastic young owners, tempted by the cheap insurance.许多热心的年轻车主购买了贪图廉价保险. Driven like the baby Ferrari many say it reminds them of (check all red ones?), the Sporting may have met the odd hedge, or worse, so have a good look for body repair signs.许多婴儿喜欢驾驶法拉利说它提醒他们(查红砖?)、热爱体育的多元可能遭到对冲,甚至有这样一个好身体找修理迹象.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a Cinquecento Sporting) An exhaust system is in the region of £95.(大约基于cinquecento体育)排气系统则约为英镑95. A clutch assembly will be around £100, whilst an alternator (exchange) should be not far over £64.大会将围绕一个离合器100镑,而一个发电机(外汇)应不远超过英镑64.
Major and minor services cost around £225 and £125 respectively.大大小小的服务费用分别为125英镑和225英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
It's about two different cars, really.这两种不同的汽车,真的. The base S and SX models are great little cars that are ideal for town-driving but a bit underpowered for a long motorway journey and probably too noisy, as well.基地S和SX的小模型车的伟大理想,为城市驾驶,但有点低估了很长一段路,大概太高速公路嘈杂等. The Sporting, on the other hand, has only another quarter of a litre under the bonnet, but it makes all the difference.热爱体育,但在另一方面,另一只在四分之一公升头盖,但它使所有差异. On a motorway, you'll have to remind yourself how much fun it is on B roads, or the noise at 70mph may well have you thinking about re-selling.经高速公路,您要提醒你多少乐趣二是对道路、或者你可能有噪音70mph思考再卖. The Sporting is best thought of as a 1990?s Mini Cooper, only slightly more civilised.运动是最好的思想作为1990?迷你库珀收盘,仅文明.
OVERALL 总体
A great little city car that might just have you singing with happiness like Pavarotti.一个伟大的城市很少有汽车,可能只是喜欢你唱歌帕瓦罗蒂与幸福. (Especially if you go for the Sporting.)(尤其是如果你走的运动).
