FIAT MULTIPLA (1999 – TO DATE)菲亚特多发性(1999欧元Â"至今)
The famous British reserve has traditionally been something of a curse for boldly styled cars.著名的英国后备历来作古诅咒大胆摆开车. The Ford Sierra took a long time to catch on, whilst the public never really took to the Ford Scorpio with its challengingly aquatic looks.福特塞拉在经过长时间的渔获,虽然从未真正走上公开与福特全蝎作为挑战水产看起来. It seems no matter how good a car is, if it looks a bit out of the ordinary, the car-buying populace break out the barge poles.看来,再好的车,如果看起来有点非同寻常,停车场民众买爆发驳船极点. And so it is with the Fiat Multipla.因此,与菲亚特多发性. Showered with awards and praise by all who drive it, it has been outsold by more conservatively styled offerings such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic.放映<奖励和表扬所有驾驶人,据百事可乐等祭品摆开了较为保守的雷诺和狂暴zafira风景. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but just because you?ve a family to haul about doesn?t mean that you have to forgo any notion of style.美丽的眼睛,可观照、但因为你?一家不惜以毒品约味?笔意味着你必须放弃任何概念风格. Does it?对吗?
HISTORY历史
Fiat?s engineers approached the design of the Multipla with a clean sheet of paper.菲亚特?收盘设计工程师走近多发性用干净的纸. Basing the car upon the shape of no other existing model in the range paid enormous dividends in terms of packaging.根据车内的形状后,在无其他现有模式支付巨额红利射程在包装. A low, wide floor and a high, domed roof were designed around the novel three-abreast front and rear seating arrangement.低、宽、高地板、屋顶圆顶设计新颖周围三个掌握前后座位安排. Whilst many rivals claim to be designed around the occupants first, with the Fiat the clever touches and well-considered dimensions lend this assertion added credence.虽然许多竞争对手声称是围绕占用第一与菲亚特巧妙触及和层面予以考虑续证明这种说法.
Two engines were available at launch, a 103bhp 1.6 16v petrol and a 105bhp version of Fiat?s popular JTD turbo diesel 1.9-litre unit.两个发动机分别置于发射六月一日一103bhp和105bhp版16v汽油菲亚特?收盘热门JTd的涡轮柴油1.9公升单位. Both cars were available in SX or plusher ELX trim.双方可在SX的车车窗或elx浪. In December 2000, the JTD engine was uprated slightly to 110bhp.2000年12月,JTd的110bhp引擎是新型干法略. Despite this sales of the Multipla in the UK have never been better than modest.尽管如此,在英国销售的多发性从未胜过谦虚. Sales figures for 2000 showed the Renault Scenic selling 32,560, the Vauxhall Zafira 21,582 and the Multipla shifting a mere 3,145 units, despite walking away with Top Gear?s prestigious Car Of The Year award.销售数字显示,2000年雷诺风景卖32560、zafira的狂暴和多发性转移仅为215823145单位尽管顶级齿轮出走?收盘盛名的汽车大奖.
The blame for this disappointing sales performance was laid at the door of the unconventional styling and this issue was addressed by the thorough facelift of summer 2004.这种令人失望的销售业绩归咎于在门口放好的传统造型,是解决这一问题的彻底改写2004年夏. The resulting angular look made the car a more viable proposition to mainstream buyers.由此角度看车作比较可行命题主流买家. Beneath the skin little was changed but trim levels of Dynamic, Dynamic Plus and Eleganza were introduced.但皮肤下方小浪级别改为动态,并加上动态eleganza介绍.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Whilst some rivals have opted for a seven-seater layout, Fiat reasoned that six usable seats were more practical than seven seats that you had to climb, wriggle and contort yourself into.虽然有些选择了对手七座位布置、菲亚特理智,可用六比七席议席更为实用,你已爬升,蜷、曲解解说. Take the Vauxhall Zafira.zafira路上走. Two doors on each side and three rows of seats.两个大门两边三排座位. Is Granny really going to be able to get in the back row?奶奶是真的能够在后排? No. Since six people can therefore be accommodated in only two rows of seats, the overall length of the car can be kept short - four metres to be exact, half a foot less than a VW Golf.自编号六人因此只能容纳两排座位总长度轿车可维持短期4米至2.2%,不到半年徒步64+15高尔夫球. Yet try to picture three full-sized adults sitting alongside each other and you'll find yourself picturing a very wide car indeed.然而尝试三个画面充满型大人坐在一起,你就会发现自己对方一只车的确很广. Sure enough the only car you can buy that's wider than this little Fiat is a Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.果然只有你能买到车就是比这更大的劳斯莱斯银色小菲亚特seraph. That three-abreast design approach meant that whichever way the designers cut it, they were going to have to produce a very unusual-looking car indeed.这三个掌握设计方法意味着什么方式降低它的设计者、他们将要产生十分寻常看车.
In which case, someone in Turin must have decided, we might as well go all the way - and sure enough they have.在这种情况下,有人要在都灵已经决定,倒不如一样全力以赴果然他们. The Multipla could well be the most unusual car you will ever have seen.多发性可能的最不寻常的轿车你会看到以往. It's as if someone has driven a family hatchback under a low bridge, stripped the top half of the body away, then added a square glassy box on top of what remains.所以只要有人带动一个家庭在低hatchback桥剥光顶一半的身体远去,接着一个广场上剩下玻箱. Unusually for an MPV, that means a conventional flat bonnet on top of which sits what can only be described as the cabin podule.出奇的巡逻艇,这意味着传统单位头盖上一层的是什么,只能说坐在机舱podule. This overwhelms the lower part of the body, spilling over the edges of the waistband below the front screen.这垮下身子,边缘蔓延的腰带以下屏幕前. It also features an unusually low waistline, with glasswork so deep that onlookers can admire the elbows and knees of occupants as they pass by.它还特点出奇低腰围、琉璃之深,与围观的手肘及膝盖也佩服他们占用擦肩而过. It all sounds very strange - and it is, at least until you've lived with the shape for a few weeks.这一切听起来很奇怪,这是至少到您住的形状了数周. By then, you will have learned to ignore all the stares and probably begun to rather enjoy those futuristic looks.届时,你将不顾一切悉惴可能开始看起来颇为欣赏这些未来. And with that out of the way, there really aren't too many other reasons to dislike this little Fiat.并指出,除此之外,其他方面真的没有太多的理由喜欢这个小菲亚特. Anyways, Fiat removed the styling issue altogether with the facelifted Multipla ?anyways,菲亚特撤除造型与facelifted多发性回事? a far more run-of-the-mill visual proposition.更为办--轧机视觉命题.
Whichever Multipla you choose, getting in and out is easy, courtesy of high, wide doors and seats that are comfortably but not excessively high.多发性你选择哪一个,接连进出容易,礼貌高、车门和座椅舒适性,但不太高. All six seats are identical and equally comfortable, all have three-point seatbelts and all are light (16kg) and easily removable.所有六个座位舒适相同,同样都有3点安全带,都很轻,易于移动(成年). The middle seat up front can be folded flat (to give three extra cupholders) or replaced completely by a console including an 18-litre cooled or heated box.中间座位可以折叠起来战线单位(额外给予cupholders三)或完全取代了安慰包括一个18公升箱加热或冷却. It's the same in the rear, where the middle seat can be either folded or removed to accommodate a small fridge.它同样的后方如果中间座位可容纳一下子拆除小冰箱. Rear seat leg and headroom is outstanding for such a small car - almost limousine-like in the rearmost of the two mounting positions on offer.后座腿部和通行小型车,是这样一个优秀几乎专车样的步足的两个阵地发起投标. Even with the seats set this far back, there's still as much luggage space (430 litres) behind them as you'd find in a Mercedes C-class, or 540 litres if you click them forward a notch (sacrificing little in terms of ride comfort).即使同席开此远、还有更多的行李空间(430升),就会发现他们背后的奔驰的C级、如果你或540公升点击前进一码(牺牲一点而言平顺). The only drawback of the Multipla?s loading bay is that it is wide and tall, but lacking in depth.唯一美中不足的多发性?收盘湾就是装阔高大,但缺乏深度. It?s fine if you?re transporting suitcases as the Fiat promotional literature shows, but if you?re trying to load shopping bags or other items which don?t sit so happily on top of one another, it?s not quite such a great concept.?如果你的罚款?作为菲亚特再运送行李箱推广文学欣赏,但是如果你?重新尝试负荷购物袋或其他物品鲍思?坐在这么开心笔之上互相?这样一个伟大构想不太收盘.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Despite the wary acceptance of the Multipla, its relative rarity has had a steadying effect on used values.尽管接受了多发性戒心,相对稀有已稳住效果用价值. A late 1999 V-plated 1.6 SX is still worth around £4,500, whilst a similar vintage ELX will retail at around £4,900.1999年底一个V型镀六月一日萱还是值得4500英镑左右,虽然类似古董elx零售业将在4900英镑左右. If you hanker after diesel power, you?ll need to budget around £5,100 for the JTD 105 SX on that same 1999 V-plate or £5,400 for the better-equipped ELX.如果你热中柴油电力、你?当地需要的预算大约为5100英镑,当天1999年JTd的105SX的V型钢板或5400英镑的装备更elx. Insurance ratings range from Group 7 for the base 1.6 SX to Group 10 for the JTD ELX.保险评级由七国集团萱至6月1日为基准的10组elxJTd的.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Multipla has proved a reliable model, and whilst Fiat have taken great strides in recent years to improve reliability, there still remains a question mark about the after sales service afforded by Fiat dealers.多发性已证明可靠的模型,菲亚特虽然近年已大步提高可靠性目前仍有疑问的售后服务失之交臂菲亚特经销商.
When inspecting a used Multipla look for parking damage, including kerbed wheels, as some will find the Multipla?s width slightly disconcerting in town.在视察了用来寻找停车多发性损害,包括kerbed车轮正如一些就会发现多发性?收盘宽度稍微令人不安相宜. As with any other MPV, inspect the load bay and the fixtures and fittings inside, including seat trims and carpeting.如同其他任何巡逻艇、检查负载湾和内装修材料,包括地毯、座位斩. Any vehicle that routinely transports children around has to be tough.任何车辆,都必须围绕儿童照例运输机强硬. Initial impressions indicate the Multipla is well up to the task.初次印象显示出良好的多发性任务.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Estimated prices, based on a Multipla100ELX) Despite the regular pannings Fiat dealers receive in the Top Gear/JD Power reports, it?s good to know you won?t have to pay too much to receive this service.(估计价格,基于multipla100elx)尽管定期接受pannings菲亚特经销商在全速/约旦第纳尔电力报告?收盘好的知道你赢了?笔已付出太多得到这项服务. Spares prices for the Multipla are right there in the lower end of the class.备件价格为多发性得很有较低的阶层. A clutch assembly will cost in the region of £115, whilst front brake pads are a trifling £40, while rear brake shoes are £52 a set.离合器装配了该地区将耗资115英镑,而前面的刹车皮儿戏英镑40而后方的刹车蹄英镑52集. A new oil filter is around £7, an air filter approximately £8 and spark plugs are £4.新滤油器英镑左右7,大约一英镑八及空气滤清器火花塞正英镑4.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Although the mechanicals come from the Brava family hatchback, the wide stance, the long wheelbase and the more rigid body mean that if anything, the Multipla handles better.虽然机电来自布拉瓦家庭hatchback,宽立场长轴距以及更刚体意味着什么,多发性处理好. Certainly, the direct, beautifully weighted steering helps, as does a slick, snappy gearchange manipulated via a stick protruding from the fascia.当然,直接帮助督导加权优美,犹如一个滑头,snappygearchange透过操纵伸出一根棍子从筋膜. And what a fascia: it looks like something from Alien, with various satellite areas for the ventilation controls, the air vents and the built-in stereo.什么是筋膜:看来有点格格不入,对流通领域各类卫星控制空气喷口和内置的立体声. Perched on top is a crescent-shaped speedometer incorporating a fuel gauge, warning lights - but no rev counter.上面这滞月眉型速度将燃油量警告灯,但没有晨曦柜. There is a bulge next to the speedometer where it looks as if an embryonic rev counter is about to burst through.旁边有一个隆起速度那里好像雏型晨曦透过柜台即将破灭. Fiat think most buyers won't need to see a rev counter - and they're probably right.菲亚特认为最需要买家不会看到晨曦反可能与他们的权利. There are only two engines on offer and neither is exactly of a ball of fire.只剩下两个引擎提供一个球也正是火灾.
Most customers will opt for the 105bhp 1.9-litre turbo diesel - and understandably so.大部分顾客选择的105bhp1.9公升柴油涡轮和理解. It's just as fast as the alternative 1.6-litre petrol unit (0-60mph in 12.4s on the way to 106mph) yet much torquier and considerably more frugal (44.1mpg on the urban cycle).那只是替代快1.6公升的汽油单位(0-60mph的方式在12.4s106mph),但相当多torquier更节俭(44.1mpg对城市循环). Although acceleration is unlikely to render the family insensible, the Multipla?s foursquare stance means that due to a low centre of gravity it can corner with far less body roll than many of its rivals.虽然加速度不大可能使家庭没有知觉,多发性的?由于收盘四角立场意味着低重心可以少身体与角落滚比许多竞争对手. The downside of this is that the Fiat can be a bit of a handful in tight urban situations.坏处是,这一点可以菲亚特在紧凑市一小撮情况. Those huge mirrors don?t help either, acting as an invitation for every demented motorcycle despatch rider in the city to test the durability of their body armour.这些巨额镜子鲍思?无论笔帮助,应邀担任每次发货痴呆摩托车骑士在该市耐久性试验身体盔甲.
OVERALL 总体
If you?ve got a growing family the choices are few.如果你?味越来越得到家庭的选择不多. Do you accept that you?re on the slippery slope to pipe and slippers and buy a Vauxhall Zafira or a Renault Scenic?你同意吗?再就沦为买制服、烟斗、拖鞋或雷诺风景zafira? Are you still young at heart and funky, in which case a Chrysler PT Cruiser might fit the bill?你还年轻的心和胆源性,在这种情况也许适合一个克莱斯勒漫步者法案? Or are you a true aesthete who appreciates clever design, who knows a Philip Starck from a Phillip Neville?或者你真正了解谁审美设计巧妙,谁也不知道了菲利普斯塔克从菲利普的Neville? If the latter is the case, the Fiat Multipla will appeal.如果是后者,多发性菲亚特将上诉. It?s well built, unapologetically original, will turn heads wherever it goes and will hold its value well.?收盘建宫里原来,首长将在何处举行,它的价值. If you can handle its width and can live with the looks, plump for the diesel version and watch the envious gazes of other mini MPV drivers as they blend into anonymity.如果你能处理好自己的宽度,活得面容,肥美的柴油版和羡慕的目光注视其他小型巡逻艇司机因为它们融入匿名. Your children will love you for it.孩子爱你们.
