FIAT PUNTO (2000-TO DATE)菲亚特punto(2000年至今)
Fiat?s second generation Punto set new standards in build quality for small Fiats following its UK launch early in 2000.菲亚特?收盘二代punto建立一套新的质量标准小议继英国早在2000年发射. As a result, it was well received here, if not quite as popular as it proved to be in Europe.由于这里是好评,如果不是很受欢迎,因为它被证明是在欧洲. With plenty on the used market, it makes pretty good sense as a used buy, with few of the caveats usually attached to affordable secondhand Fiats.用充沛的市场,它使意义作为用不错买气与通常很少时应附上得起二手议.
HISTORY历史
At launch in early 2000, the question was just how much of a change this new model represented.在2000年初发射,问题只是多少改变了这种新模式的代表. It did after all, share exactly the same platform as its predecessor.它毕竟有着一模一样平台942. Moreover, the fresh ?new?另外,新鲜?新? look - though very different in uniquely styled 3-door or more conservative 5-door form - was clearly Spirito di Punto.看虽然很不同的独特风格3门或较保守的5门形明显苏萨宁邸punto. Nevertheless, this was revolution - even if it came in an evolutionary package.不过,这是革命--即使是在一个渐进的方案. Some 3,600 of the 4,500 parts had been changed - over 80% of the total car - in creating a product that was longer, taller, quieter, more practical and technologically bang up to date.3600<4500有的地方已经改变了80%的总车长是创造产品、高大、宁静、更实际和技术上榜最新资料. The idea of course, was to keep faith with the millions who still pounded around in the old car, yet provide a package fresh enough to steal sales from competition in the £8,000-£13,500 bracket.想法当然是守信义的人依然踩着百万左右的老车然而,提供整套从销售竞争偷够新鲜的英镑8000英镑13,500托架.
There was a choice between five engines and no fewer than four gearboxes.有一抉择不下四、五个引擎变速箱. First up was a 60bhp 1.2-litre 8-valve unit, no ball of fire but acceptably rapid within the city limits.第一起是60bhp1.2公升8-阀门股,但火灾没有球迅速在全市范围内接受的. It was better however, if funds permitted, to stretch to the more popular 80bhp 16-valve version of the same engine, rapid enough to make provision of a 1.4-litre model unnecessary.它较好但如果资金允许,卧铺较受欢迎80bhp至16气门发动机的版本相同,快速提供足以使一个1.4公升示范不必要. Aside from that, there was a choice of two 1.9-litre diesels, developing either 60 or 80bhp.除此之外,有两个选择1.9公升柴油,无论60还是发展中国家80bhp. The latter 'common rail' JTD engine was turbocharged, the most advanced diesel then fitted to a small car.后者的共轨'JTd的增压发动机,再装上最先进的柴油小型车. Which meant a real cake-and-eat-it package, with rest to sixty in 12.2s on the way to 106mph yet real world average fuel consumption of nearly 60mpg.这就真正蛋糕和吃它一揽子12.2s至60月在休息途中106mph尚未真正接近世界平均耗油60mpg.
Fiat hoped that real performance seekers would want the flagship 3-door HGT model, equipped with the same 1.8-litre 130bhp four cylinder engine that powered the Barchetta roadster.菲亚特希望真正想表现求职者旗舰3-门hgt模式同样配备1.8公升四汽缸发动机,130bhp的马力barchetta跑车. This 130mph derivative was on the pricey side however, one of the reasons why enthusiastic buyers opted for the much cheaper (and apparently much slower) 3-door 1.2-litre 16v Sporting model.这是对贵方130mph衍生但是原因之一热心买家选择了便宜(显然慢得多)3门1.2公升16v运动模式.
Five trim levels were initially offered in the UK: base, ELX and HLX, plus the performance-minded 3-door Sporting and HGT models.五个层次修剪在英国最初提出:基地elx和HLX的,加上业绩头脑3-大门体育hgt型号. Clever ?Speedgear?聪明?speedgear? semi-automatic gearbox variations of both Sporting and JTD models arrived in June 2000, while April 2001 saw the introduction of a sportier Abarth version of the HGT.半自动变速箱两种变异运动及JTd型号抵达2000年6月而2001年4月推出了sportierabarth看到版本的hgt.
In 2003 Fiat were at it again.菲亚特又分别于2003年. A facelift, new Multijet diesel engines and new trim levels were brought in to improve the Punto?s standing.整容、柴油机multijet新水平、新浪punto带来改善?常备. Models from this period onward are branded Active Plus, Active Sport, Dynamic, Eleganza, Sporting and HGT.从这一时期开始,有品牌型号加活跃,活跃运动,活力十足,eleganza体育hgt.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
This is still one of the biggest cars in its class, one of the few Superminis large enough to provide a realistic reason not to buy a larger family hatchback.这仍然是最大的汽车类、其中少数superminis名特优新提供一个现实的理由,不买大家族hatchback. Don't get us wrong: this is no Ford Focus but it does provide enough space inside - at least in five-door form - to make longer family trips a reasonably pleasant proposition.我们不能错误:这是福特焦点,但这并没有提供足够的空间内,至少在五门形作长程相当宜人家庭命题. Three can sit across the split-folding back seat, while the five-door's 10.4cuft boot is one of the largest seen on a Supermini.各地可以坐三分折叠后座,而五门的10.4cuft长靴是全球最大的超小型见过. Even the three-door's 9.3cuft capacity is more than reasonable.连三大门的9.3cuft能力超过合理.
Even on cheaper models, there are niceties like electric windows, central locking, a split-folding rear seat, twin front airbags, a centre three-point rear belt and a clever power steering set-up, the weight of which you can control via a dash-mounted switch.甚至更便宜的型号,有细微喜欢电动窗、中央锁、一驳折叠后座,双锋气袋,中心三点后方皮带、动力转向巧设置、你可以控制重量经冲刺式开关. Inside the completely restyled interior, the accent is on user-friendliness, with the top models boasting no fewer than 26 different storage compartments.内完全restyled内陆、口音是用户的需要,同顶吹不下26个不同型号冷气车厢. Small items will always be safely tucked away - but easy to lose...小项目以外真相永远平安,但容易失去::
Other nice optional touches that you may find fitted to some examples include headlamps that stay on to guide you to your front door, rain-sensitive wipers, side airbags and the inevitable satellite navigation (standard on the HGT).其他尼斯,你可以找到适合择触及一些例子包括大灯,引导你留下你的大门,雨敏感刮水器、侧气袋和必然卫星导航(标准的hgt).

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Though build quality was much improved, it still wasn?t quite up to VW standards.虽然建设质量得到了很大的提高,但仍.其余?笔相当多达64+15标准. No real major worries but look our for loose or poorly glued together sections of trim and steer away from cars that have clearly suffered wear and tear.没有真正的忧虑,但主要还是看我们为松散胶结在一起路段修剪不善、摆脱汽车,显然遭到磨损.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on an 1.2i Sporting inc VAT) An alternator is around £78, front brake pads are around £35 for a set, a rear exhaust section should be about £61 and a headlamp is around £82.(大约基于1.2i运动股份有限公司增值税)发电机英镑左右78前刹车皮是35英镑左右一套,后方排气应约第61和一英镑英镑左右前照灯82. Expect to pay around £7 for an air filter and about £15 for a fuel filter, about £6 for an oil filter and about £4 for spark plugs.预计支付约7英镑左右的空气滤清器、燃油过滤英镑15、油过滤英镑左右,约6英镑4火花塞. Servicing is required every 10,000 miles.每一万公里需偿还.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Even more so than its predecessor, this Punto is, in the pursuit of safety, a relatively heavy car ?尤甚942punto这是在追求安全、重型车比较? one reason why it doesn?t drive with as much brio as small Italian cars of the past.原因之一不惜?比Brio的笔驾驶小型轿车意大利的过去. Nevertheless, you shouldn?t have too much to complain about, particularly if you go for the popular 1.2-litre Sporting version.然而,你不应当?笔有太多抱怨,尤其是如果你到了流行的1.2公升的体育版. Though sixty in 12.3s on the way to 103mph doesn't sound very fast, it's actually quite fun due to the rorty nature of an engine that - in the mid-range at least - loves to rev.虽然在60月12.3s途中103mph不健全很快,它其实颇为有趣的是由于罗蒂性质引擎-在中程至少--爱晨曦.
Another contribution to the fun factor is made by the six-speed manual gearbox, a unique feature on this model.另一个因素是贡献的乐趣了六速变速箱手册,在这个独特模式. If you don't like that, see if you can find an example fitted with the optional CVT automatic Speedgear transmission: this offers no fewer than seven forward ratios and allows you to change up and down yourself 'Tiptronic'-style if you're in the mood.如果你不喜欢,看看你可以找到一个例子装有自动择speedgear无级变速传动:这对我们提出了不下七、比例变动的起伏让你自己'tiptronic'式如果你的心情. A six-speed version of the same auto 'box was available lower down the range but you?ll do well to find many cars fitted with it on the used market.6速自动版本相同的盒子上可降低幅度,但你呢?当地许多好找车装有它的使用市场.
Ride quality is much improved over the original Punto, which tended to crash its way through potholes like Ben Hur's chariot.乘坐质量大大改善了原有punto,而倾向于通过坑洞途中坠毁像贲胡尔的战车. Thanks to a new front and rear suspension set-up, the new one was very different, with a quality of ride that adds to the temptation to embark on longer journeys.由于前方和后方受新成立的一个新的非常不同,以质量更具诱惑骑走更长的旅途. Only the pricey HGT version with its super-stiff set-up disappoints in this respect.只有珍藏版hgt以其超刚性设置在这方面失望.
OVERALL 总体
The first small Fiat that buyers used to higher quality brands could conceivably live with.第一小菲亚特买家用优质品牌怎能忍受. Find a good one and the right price and you shouldn?t be disappointed.找到一份好、价格和您的权利,应引起?笔会大失所望.
