FORD FIESTA (1995-1999)福特节日(1995-1999)
The Fiesta had long been a family favourite when the fourth generation Fiesta was launched in October 1995.一个家庭的节日早就喜欢当节日推出第四代1995年10月. Popularity doesn?t always equal class competitiveness however, and with a raft of rivals all offering more contemporary styling the Fiesta had to fight back.声望不惜?笔类始终平等竞争但是和所有对手提供了大量现代造型的节日更不得不奉陪. As well as the traditional Ford virtues of aggressive pricing, a wide dealer network and predictable residual values, the Mk IV Fiesta went to the top of the supermini tree by dint of its superb handling.福特以及传统美德侵略性定价交易网络和广泛预测残余价值节日到了四队的超小型顶树凭着高超的处理. A product of the Richard Parry-Jones revolution within Ford, this Fiesta was able to divert attention from its venerable underpinnings by offering a formidable fun factor.帕里的产物理查德-琼斯在革命福特这个节日之所以能够转移注意力的老提供了强大趣味性依据. As a used buy it still makes great sense, just so long as you don?t expect the same sort of space inside as you?d get with one of today?s superminis.作为用来购买还有很大意义只要你刚刚鲍思?笔预期那样空间内如你?丁一得到吗?superminis收盘.
HISTORY历史
Launched way back in the dark days of the Seventies, the Fiesta?s history is long and convoluted.早在发射的黑暗日子七十年的节日?历史是漫长而曲折的. It wasn?t until the mid nineties that stricter company car regulations and tougher direct competition forced Ford to start producing mainstream cars that real people might buy with real money rather than have foisted upon them.它.其余?直到80年代中期到90笔汽车公司严格规定和强硬直接竞争迫使福特汽车开始生产主流,人们可能会购买真钱,而不是真正具有强加于他们. This fourth generation Fiesta range launched in October 1995, though shaped similarly, (apart from the big oval 'mouth' front grille and larger rear window) was quite different under the skin from previous models.这四代1995年10月推出一系列节日,虽然形同样(除大椭圆'口'大门前屋后窗户和门锁)迥异于以往的模式下的变异.
At a stroke, Ford had transformed their supermini into the best-handling car in the class and, in the 1.25 and 1.4-litre Zetec engines, they also had the finest powertrains.在中风后,福特已转化成自己的超小型最佳处理车阶级,在1.25至1.4公升引擎zetec,他们还优秀电动车. A multitude of trim and engine combinations were available.众多修剪和发动机组合选择. The engines were either 1.25 16v, 1.3, 1.4 16v petrol or 1.8-litre diesel.1月25日引擎要么16v,130,14016v汽油1.8公升柴油. Trim levels started with Encore and moved up through LX and Si to Ghia and Ghia X.修剪层次和水平迈上开始喝采通过lx和Si以及向ghia十大ghia
In Spring 1998, a slightly revised range was announced, with the entry-level car now called the Fusion (renamed the Finesse a few months later).1998年春,一个稍微修改幅度揭晓随着入门级轿车现在称为聚变(几个月后改称手腕). Zetec was now the mid-range trim level (and the entry-level point for 16v buyers) and Ghia models the flagship.zetec现在的中程浪级(及入门级买家16v点)和ghia旗舰型号. The range was revised again in October 1999 with new more angular nose styling, new tailgate badges and various minor interior modifications.射程在1999年10月再次修改与新角鼻造型更为,新徽章和各种小型室内栏板改装.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
In trying to be something it isn't (a big car), the new fourth generation Fiesta has become not only a best seller but arguably the best used supermini you can buy.在试图将它并不是一件(大轿车)新广场已成为第四代不仅畅销但你可以说是最好用超小型买. Not a bad achievement, considering that in terms of size, today's variation seems little different to its predecessors.成绩不坏,认为在面积,今天似乎有点不同的变异前辈. The post-October 1995 fourth generation cars are way ahead of their older brothers in terms of build quality, equipment levels and refinement and their resale value reflects that.后95年10月第四代汽车是遥遥领先的哥哥在建设质量、装备水平和精致,反映出其转售价值.

Rust shouldn?t be a problem on these cars as Dagenham build quality is reasonably good but check the bottom and opening edges of the doors, and the tailgate, for user-inflicted damage that can lead to corrosion.锈都不应该?笔会就这些问题车dagenham建设质量是相当好的,但底部开边检查门窗、而栏板,为用户造成的损害可能导致腐蚀.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Certainly, the performance and fuel economy figures are good - but that isn't what counts.当然,有良好表现和燃油经济人物--但那不是包治百病. No, what matters is that this Fiesta is fun, with a capital 'F'.没有什么事情是这个节日的乐趣,以资本'六'. Put your foot down and it's hard to credit that there's not a larger engine under the bonnet, so instant is the response.放低受不了,心里很难有信用的不是一个更大的引擎下头盖,就是这么瞬间反应.
The same is true cruising at or above the legal limit - not an enjoyable experience in the old model, which, like most small-engined cars, sounded so strained that you quickly returned it to the school run.弋亦然以上法定上限不愉快经验的老模式,其中,最喜欢的小引擎车,那么紧张,你快回来敲到学校办. The ?95-on 1.25 and 1.4-litre Fiestas are a different story altogether - and their impressive refinement is no accident.<?95-于1月25日至1.4公升节日是一个完全不同的故事,他们印象细化并非偶然.
Early customer clinics furnished Ford with the surprising finding that the sound of the new car would be as important as the way it looked.客户提供早期诊疗与福特惊讶声的新车,将显得重要方式. Hence the assembly of the company's own Juke Box Jury panel to listen to the note of the new Zetec engines and fine tune it to the most pleasing sound.因此,该公司组装的盒子举科陪审团听取小组说明了新引擎和微调zetec它最得意的声音.
If that sounds a bit over the top in theory on the road, it's hard to argue that the time hasn't been well spent.如果这听起来有点过分首位论道心里很难辩称当时未获其所. If I had to have a small car that would go long distances, the Fiesta, without question, is the one I'd choose.如果我有一小会车,长途的节日,毫无疑问,我是一个选择.
OVERALL 总体
Arguably, the Fiesta?s the best little small car on the market if you take into account the huge dealer network, affordable part prices and the vast choice offered at sensible prices.可以说,<节日?收盘最佳小型车市场不大,如果你考虑巨额交易网选择部分负担的价格和广大顾客提供合理的价格.
The fourth generation car made its predecessors look pedestrian as a driver's machine.第四代汽车做出了作为一个行人看前辈驾驶员机器. If you can afford it, this is the Fiesta to buy.如果你能够负担,这是节日买.
