HISTORY历史
The second generation Mondeo was launched to counter increasing competition in October 1996 and was received as enthusiastically as its predecessor.第二代蒙迪欧推出对付日益激烈的竞争,并于1996年10月,作为接待热情为942. There were new brighter headlights growing outwards from a larger, more prominent oval grille, while around the saloon?s boot, big red rear lamps wrapped around the corners of the car, making it look smaller.有新光明头灯日益向外从更大、更突出的椭圆形格栅,虽然各地球馆?收盘长靴、大红尾灯缠角落车,似乎小了. Hatchbacks also received larger tail lamps.厢型车也收到较大尾巴灯具.
All versions got chrome around the back number plate and there were new body-coloured bumpers to harmonise the whole effect into a car which, though discernibly different, was still recognisably Mondeo.各版本有铬后排有新车牌和车身颜色保险杠协调成车的整体效果,discernibly虽然不同,仍然recognisably蒙迪欧. There was a revised interior, with more comfortable front seats and extra legroom for passengers at the rear.内政部则修改,更舒适、前座乘客额外legroom在后方.
The same range of bodystyles and engines were offered as before (though Ford claimed that minor revisions to all the powerplants had made them more refined and frugal).同样射程80707如故bodystyles和引擎(虽然福特称轻微修改了他们所有的发电厂更精致、俭朴). Safety received greater emphasis, with optional side airbags and a standard three-point centre seatbelt for back seat occupants.接到重安全,以方择气袋标准三点后座安全带中心占用. Trim levels were as before, with the exception of the temporary deletion of the V6 Si in favour of a sportier ST-24 saloon-only variant.修剪水平一如既往其中除了暂时删除的V6导硅赞成一个sportier圣-24球馆只变种. Later in 1997, satellite navigation became an expensive option and in early 1998 the cost of air conditioning was reduced by offering it in lieu of the sunroof on LX, GLX and the re-launched Si versions.后来在1997年卫星导航成为一种昂贵的选择,在1998年初的成本降低提供空调代替它的天窗对lx,天然和重新启动泗版本.
The Zetec 1.8 and 2.0-litre entry-level hatchbacks and estates arrived early in 1999, better equipped than the basic Aspens but costing less, despite being fitted with the latest zetec engines (hence the name), a bodykit and smart alloy wheels.<zetec182.0升入门级厢型车及旅行车提前到达1999年但根本不是更好-46耗资较少尽管最新zetec装有发动机(所以名字),以及智能bodykit合金车轮. In June 1999, a flagship sporting model, the ST200, was launched, fitted with a 200bhp version of the V6 2.5-litre engine already used in the ST24 (which continued).1999年6月,一个旗舰体育模型,st200,发起、装有V6导版的200bhp2.5公升引擎已经使用了st24(续). Early 2000 saw the arrival of a two-litre Zetec-S hatchback with and ST200-lookalike body kit plus a new 1.8-litre entry-level Verona with air conditioning and CD player.2000年初到来看到两公升zetec硫hatchback与st200-lookalike体套另加新一点八公升入门级维罗纳与空调和影音播放. This range was replaced with an all-new Mondeo generation the end of 2000.这个幅度改为一支全新蒙迪欧2000年底发电.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Mondeo has had its share of hype - but in this case, it's been well deserved.蒙迪欧的份额已开足马力,但在这种情况下,实在是当之无愧. If all that PR is enough to get you behind the wheel, you won't be disappointed.如果这一切的背后公关足以取你的车轮,你不会失望. Apart from the standard airbag, there is enough technology built into this car to make it a real driver's machine.除了标准安全气囊有足够技术建成这种车司机,使其真正的机器.
Even the most basic Mondeo is pretty well equipped.连最基本蒙迪欧相当精良.

That's in addition to driver?s airbag, power steering, anti-theft alarm with immobiliser, tinted glass, adjustable steering wheel, ?lights-on?这除了司机?收盘气囊、动力转向、防盗报警与防盗,茶色玻璃,可调方向盘?灯安? warning buzzer, electric front windows, a tilting/sliding sunroof and a good quality stereo radio cassette.蜂警告,电动前窗,倾斜/滑动天窗、质量好的立体声广播录音机.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The fuel injection systems can get jammed up - you'll notice poor idling and pick-up.喷油系统可以为患--您差空转、公告回升. Cylinder head corrosion indicates that the anti-freeze hasn't been changed on the two-year cycle Ford suggests.缸盖腐蚀标志着反冻并未改变对两年周期福特建议. The cam belt needs changing at 70,000 miles ?凸轮带在70,000英里需要改变? check it?s been done.检查吗?做收盘.
Rust shouldn't be a problem, though the front subframe on older cars can be corroded.锈应该不成问题,但对老车车头车架可锈蚀. Rattles from the rear suspension suggest worn dampers.摇铃建议暂停从后方心魄阻尼. The steering should feel precise.督导应该感到精确. If it doesn't, check the power-steering drive-belts and beware of leaks around the hose joints.如果不遏制力量转向驱动皮带及周围提防泄软管接头.
If first gear is difficult to find, a worn selector is the problem.如果第一轮难以找到一个破旧的选择问题. An imprecise, rubbery feel meanwhile, could indicate worn selector rods.一个不精确、橡胶感觉,可以选择显示心魄棒. Steer clear of high mileage examples, betrayed by sagging driver's seats and shiny gear knobs.避开高的例子里,背叛了低靡驾驶员座位和光泽齿轮式把手.

So far, few surprises perhaps - Fords have always been well packaged.到目前为止,或许惊喜--宁夏一向好包装. The real strengths of the new design emerge once you venture out on the road.新设计的真正实力一旦出现你大胆地在路上. Cosworth variants apart, this is the most enjoyable driver's car the company has ever made.变芯之遥,这是最愉快的驾驶汽车公司已报案.
The new engines rev with a sweet purpose that only extra valves can bring.新发动机转速甜目的只有一个可以带来额外的阀门. Personally, I'd recommend the 1.8 featured here.我个人推荐180最好这里展出. It isn't much slower than the flagship 2.0-litre and feels just as peppy (rest to sixty takes 10.2s on the way to 122mph).这不是将比旗舰2.0公升、感觉就像peppy(休息到60月需10.2s途中122mph).

And deservedly so.归. The build quality from the Belgian factory is good, the engines excellent and the handling outstanding.来自比利时工厂的建设质量是好的,优秀的引擎和杰出的处理.
