Looking for a big car on a small budget?寻找大小型车预算? Then you'll probably already know where to look first.那么您可能已经知道哪看一次. Ford's Granada offers a lot of car for the money - no question.福特格拉纳达轿车提供了大量的钱没有问题. Nor is there any lack of choice.亦无缺乏选择. The Granada was replaced by the questionably styled Scorpio.格拉纳达令人质疑的是,更换的头衔全蝎. In its heyday, however, a trip along Britain's motorways could easily have convinced you that the blue oval's flagship was Britain's best selling car.在全盛时期,但是,旅英沿线的高速公路可以很轻易地信服你,蓝色椭圆形的旗舰是英国的最佳销售汽车. Back in the late Eighties and early Nineties, a Granada was a mark of faithful service for the middle management reps whose daily task was to pound around round to Potters Bar.早在八十年代末期,九十年代初期,格拉纳达是一个忠实服务标志名中层管理其日常任务是24磅左右到陶艺吧. A mild (or not so mild according to model) pat on the back for years of successful sales targets.轻微(或不那么温和据模型)拍拍背多年成功的销售目标. Even today, Henry's big saloon is a common sight.即使在今天,亨利的大球馆是司空见惯. However, the drivers at the wheel are second-hand buyers who've bought into big car motoring for supermini money.不过,肇事司机驾车是二手买家已经成为大买超小型车驾驶为金钱.
HISTORY历史
The ?rounded shape?<?四舍五入吗? Granada, with its flush-fitting glass, made its debut in 1985, a large five-door car with a huge interior.格拉纳达,其冲水装修玻璃发亮相1985年5大门口车巨大内政部. Initially, the engine line-up was unremarkable; underpowered 1.8 and 2.0-litre four cylinder units; 2.4 and 2.9-litre V6s.最初,发动机列队是不起眼;低估182.0公升四汽缸单位;2.4和2.9-v6s公升. Plus a nasty, noisy 2.5-litre diesel.另加恶劣、嘈杂2.5公升柴油.
The 1.8 and 2.4-litre variants didn't last long fortunately, and the carburettor 2.0-litre gave way to a fuel-injected engine of similar size in 1990, when a saloon was also added to the line-up.180和240升变不长幸化油器和2.0公升廉颇一个燃料注入发动机同样面积在1990年当一辆房也加入排队. There was also a 4x4 option on 2.9-litre models, which lasted between 1987 and 1990.还有一个选择4-4月2.9-公升型号,历时1987年至1990年.
At the beginning of 1992, design specialists IAD masterminded a restyle which actually looked quite handsome.在1992年开始策划设计专家成瘾真的看过了restyle其中相当可观. An estate was also announced at the same time and a 2.5-litre turbo diesel launched a year later.地产也同时发布了2.5公升柴油涡轮一年后推出. The range was replaced by the bug-eyed Scorpio (essentially a Granada with new nose, tail and cabin styling) in 1994 but you?ll find lots of 1995-registered Granadas about.射程改为甲虫眼睛全蝎(基本上与新格拉纳达鼻子机舱尾部和造型)1994但你呢?当地找到很多1995注册granadas左右.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A rather dowdy image but a lot of car.但相当多的汽车dowdy形象. Arguably, the later Granadas were pretty good looking; they were certainly huge inside and very well equipped.可以说,后来找granadas不错;他们当然非常精良庞大境内. The major drawback is the fuel consumption and high insurance premiums.主要的缺点是油耗高、保险费.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Granadas are uncomplicated cars - but that doesn?t mean that you won't end up with a rogue example if you're not very careful.granadas是纯朴车-但不惜?笔意味着你不会落得一个流氓来说,如果你不小心. The car has been around long enough on the used market for many cars to have gone through two or three owners.车已经够长左右的市场,许多车使用经历两三业主.
The more rounded Granada was introduced in 1985, initially only as a five-door, and vehicles from this era are priced very much on individual mileage and condition these days.格拉纳达推出更多元化1985年,起初只是作为一个五门,而从这个时代最低价车极个别情况而这些日子里. You best bet is to go for the latest model possible.你最好是去最新型号播出.
Prices for a 1993 K-plate 2.0-litre LX start at £800, while a 1994 M-plate Executive Estate with the same engine will be £1,100.价格为1993的K盘2.0公升容量lx晚上八百英镑,而1994米板长官地产引擎将会以同样1100英镑. A 2.5-litre turbo diesel from 1994 will be in the region of £1,600 and the last of the thirsty 2.9-litre petrol engined models cost around £2,000 on a 1995 M-plate.2.5公升柴油涡轮将于1994年在该地区1600英镑,最后的干渴2.9-公升汽油引擎型号费用约在1995英镑2,000米板.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Avoid 1.8-litre and early 2.0-litre petrol cars and the normally aspirated diesel.避免1.8-2.0公升和早期公升汽油车和柴油的正常送气. Look out for ex-police cars and ex-taxis.好自为之退役警车和前的士. The estate models are so large that many tradesmen use them instead of vans.这样庞大的产业模式,许多使用而非坐商面包车. Steer clear of high mileage examples; the odometer might lie but sagging driver's seats and shiny steering wheel rims won't.避开高里程例子;但也许铜铁低靡司机座位和方向盘钢圈不会发亮.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a Granada 2.9 V6) As you might expect, parts are plentiful and relatively inexpensive.(大约基于V6导格拉纳达九月二日)你不如预期,部分很丰富,价格相对低廉. A clutch assembly is around £90.一英镑左右离合器大会90. Front dampers are in the region of £40 each and a set of rears around £55 each.阻尼阵线在该地区有40英镑、英镑左右一套1955年每抚养. Front brake pads are around £40, a full exhaust about £200, a catalyst about £250 (plus a £10 surcharge for the old unit) and an alternator around £150.前刹车皮是40英镑左右,全部用尽约200英镑,催化剂约250英镑(10英镑另加附加费旧股)和发电机约150英镑. A starter motor is just over £160 (plus a £30 surcharge for the old unit), a front wing about £115, a door mirror is around £70 and a tail lamp is about £50.马达起动了刚刚结束的160英镑(30英镑另加附加费旧股)前永约115英镑,一英镑大约70门镜灯一尾约英镑50. A headlamp is about £160 (for vehicles with an additional beam), a radiator is about £130 (plus a £10 surcharge for the old unit) and a windscreen is around £120.前照灯约一英镑160(汽车额外束)暖气大约130英镑(10英镑另加附加费旧股)及挡风玻璃约为120英镑.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
On the road, the big Ford handles pretty well for a car of its size - though potholes can be a little unsettling for it.在路上,处理得不错,为大福特汽车的规模虽然有点不安,可坑洞. The steering, though a little light at first, builds in 'feel' as your speed rises enabling the car to be hustled along with surprising pace if the need arises.督导,虽然有点轻起初建成'感觉'作为你的速度上涨,使汽车的速度是惊人的簇拥随着如有需要.
Neither the two-litre or the 12-valve V6 versions are exactly balls of fire - but do more than enough to satisfy the likely demands of potential owners, the V6 reaching rest from sixty in 11.3 seconds on the way to a top speed of some 122mph.既不两公升或12气门V6导版本正是一曲灭火但又足以满足需求潜力可能业主V6导深远的休息,在3月11日上午60秒钟的方式来最高时速约122mph.
More importantly perhaps, the big Ford is user-friendly.或许更重要的是福特大方便. Behind the wheel, everything falls to hand easily.后面的车轮,一切手容易跌倒. In the rear passenger compartment, head and leg room remain unmatched by any contemporary rival.在车厢后座乘客,头部和腿部空间依然有不可比拟当代对手.
OVERALL 总体
A lot of car for not a lot of money.不少车没有很多钱. If image, manoeuvrability and fuel consumption aren't an issue, you couldn't do much better.如果形象,容易操控及油耗不是问题,你无法做得更好.
