FORD MONDEO MK3 (2000 – TO DATE)福特蒙迪欧指示器(2000欧元Â"至今)

You.你. Yes, you lot out there.是的,你有大量出. Collectively you are distinctly puzzling.你是集体鲜明费解. The Ford Mondeo sold nearly 130,000 units during its first year on sale, back when the press wrote it off as the Mundano.福特蒙迪欧售出近130个单位在第一年就出售当过记者写回的mundano. Fast forward to 2001, the first full sales year for the Mark Three Mondeo, a car the press hailed as the greatest invention since the opposable thumb and how many do you buy between the lot of you?快速前进到2001年的第一个完整的销售年纪念三蒙迪欧、汽车新闻界誉为最伟大的发明以来,又有多少反对的拇指之间大量买你好吗? 150,000?150,000? 200,000?二十万? Not a bit of it.没有一点. You rewarded the labour?s of Uncle Henry?s finest with a piffling 80,000 sales.你劳动报酬?S号亨利叔叔?收盘办成具有piffling80,000销售. Like I said, puzzling.如我所说,令人费解. There had never been a car in the medium family saloon sector that rewrote the rules quite so comprehensively as the Mark Three Mondeo.从未有过的中型家庭房车界重写规则相当全面的马克等三名蒙迪欧. Comparison tests became academic.对比测试成为学术. They were about as predictable as the outcome of the 2002 Grand Prix season.他们预测的结果大约为2002年大奖赛季节. The Mondeo would win whilst the others scratched around for the minor placings.蒙迪欧虽然赢得了周围的小placings别人抓伤. Before too long almost every new car in this sector had shamelessly cribbed from the Ford which, if one is to be brutally truthful, took a fair bit of interior design inspiration from Volkswagen to begin with.不久,几乎每个部门都在这新车无耻cribbed来自福特,如果是被残酷真实性、宣读了颇多室内设计灵感来自福士园里. As a used purchase it?s difficult to recommend the Mondeo highly enough.作为用来购买?收盘难推荐蒙迪欧高度不够.

HISTORY历史
The third generation Mondeo was launched at a time of radical shake up in the medium range family saloon market.第三代蒙迪欧面世时,激进不已的中期家庭房市场. Industry doomsayers were predicting the whole sector to go belly up as buyers were seduced by premium offerings like the Audi A3 and BMW 3-Series Compact or by mini-MPVs like the Vauxhall Zafira or the Citroen Xsara Picasso.业者预测末日全行业垮了,因为购买者所惑溢价祭品奥迪A3和宝马的3系列紧凑型或微型mpvs像狂暴zafira雪铁龙赛纳还是毕加索. Ford had no contender in either of these markets and Mondeo sales were taking a battering.福特在没有竞争者要么这些市场都采取殴打、蒙迪欧销售. Time to move the goalposts.当时提出的终点.

Few were ready for what Ford unveiled.几个准备什么福特亮相. With the exception of the unexceptional 2.0-litre TDdi turbo diesel engine, the Mondeo barely put a foot wrong.其中除了普通的2.0公升柴油涡轮引擎tddi,蒙迪欧勉强把踏错. Keen to rectify this oversight, Ford launched the state of the art common rail 2.0-litre TDCi engine in 2001 and made a series of detail changes aimed to keep the Mondeo at the top of the tree.渴望纠正这种疏忽福特推出现状共轨2.0升发动机在2001tdci,并提出了一系列旨在保持蒙迪欧详细变化在高高的大树.

Electronic Brake Assist, once a £250 option, was fitted as standard across the range.电子刹车协助,一旦选择了250英镑,装配了全国标准范围内. This reduces stopping distances by augmenting the driver?s braking effort with additional hydraulic support thus ensuring that maximum braking efficiency is reached.这减少了省属司机停车距离?收盘液压制动努力与支持,从而确保新增刹车效率达到最高. Tests have shown that EBD will result in a Mondeo in the hands of an average driver will stop between one and three car lengths quicker than a standard car.测试结果表明,在蒙迪欧实证牙医学会在手中,平均一至三名司机将车停长度810万标准车. That?s certainly the difference between a close call and giving the dog a phone.为何?收盘一定差距接近狗,并给予了电话手机. Security was also boosted by the introduction of auto relock.保安还引进汽车relock助威. If a locked Mondeo is unlocked using the remote key fob and no doors are opened within 45 seconds, the system will automatically relock itself.如果用锁锁上蒙迪欧是关键离岸不远处的门打开,45秒该系统将自动relock本身. In addition to this, convenience features such as automatic reverse wash wipe were phased in. This automatically activates the rear screen wiper if reverse is selected whilst the windscreen wipers are on.除此之外,自动反向清洗方便等特点逐步被消灭曾让雨刮自动启动屏幕后方逆向选择,而如果是雨刮. Sounds simple, but then the most elegant technical solutions usually are.看似简单,但通常是最优雅的技术解决方案.

The range was added to in 2002 with the launch of the 3.0-litre 151mph ST220 sports model.增加幅度与2002年推出的3.0升151mphst220体育模式. Those who?d felt short changed by the Mk2 ST200 emerged metaphorically beaten over the head with a sockful of quarters after a spell behind the wheel of the ST220, an estate version of which appeared in Spring 2003.那些?四觉得气短st200出现改变了MK2在同一个比喻毒打头顶sockful宿舍后车轮的后面了咒语st220,地产版出现2003年春季. A powerful yet economical 1.8-litre SCi engine was added to the Mondeo line up in autumn 2003, alongside Euro IV compliant TDCi 130 diesel engines.一个强大而节约1.8公升引擎加上去工商蒙迪欧排队2003年秋季,随着欧盟IV二千年tdci130柴油机. Two more new engines arrived in time for summer 2004.两位新引擎2004年夏抵达时间. A 204bhp 3.0-litre V6 and a 155bhp TDCi engine which was offered in the ST TDCi.一204bhp3.0升V6和一155bhptdci引擎所提供的圣tdci.

WHAT YOU GET  什么才叫
Elegant is certainly a word that applies to the Mondeo?s interior.高雅固然字适用于蒙迪欧?内政部收盘. Flick the switches, then check the quality of fit and finish.刹那间的开关,然后检查质量适合下班. Take away the Blue Oval badge and you?d probably guess at compact executive class leaders like Audi?s A4 ?带走蓝色椭圆形徽章,你呢?丁大概猜紧凑级行政领导像奥迪?收盘A4规定? maybe even BMW?s 3 Series.甚至宝马?收盘三号系列. Except, that this car isn?t compact.除外,此车渡?镭射笔. You don?t need a tape measure to know that.您鲍思?笔需要一个皮尺知道. In fact, there?s as much space inside as Ford offered in its old flagship Scorpio, a car from the next class up.事实上,有吗?收盘空间内尽量给予其作为老福特旗舰全蝎、从明年起汽车阶级. And all of the same gadgets, niceties and safety standards.而所有的同小玩意,礼节及安全标准. Not that the new Mondeo looks big from the outside or feels it behind the wheel.新蒙迪欧看起来并不大,从外面或感到车轮后面. Despite the extra 150mm in length (and a huge 500-litre boot), the latest model shrinks around you, much like an A4 or a 3 Series.尽管额外长度150(一条巨大500公升行李箱),最新型缩水约你很像一个系列的A4或者3.

Not that Audi, BMW or Lexus need worry too much.不是说奥迪、宝马或凌志必要太担心. That angular new shape is pleasing enough, but it won?t get you a reserved space in the golf club carpark.这是可喜的角新形不足,却赢得了吗?笔得到您的高尔夫球俱乐部停车场预留空间. Ford has given that job to its Jaguar X-TYPE and doesn?t want the Mondeo getting ideas too far above its station.鉴于其工作已福特美洲虎X型、不惜?希望蒙迪欧思路越来越笔以上的车站太远. Still, against obvious rivals such as the Vauxhall Vectra and Peugeot 406 the shape looks pleasantly clean and crisp.但是,对手显然对诸如狂暴vectra标致406造型显得愉快、干净脆. These cars represent the real battleground of course, so let?s get down to basics.这些车是真正的战场,当然,让?收盘放下基本面. There are three bodystyles ?有三个bodystyles? saloon, five-door and estate ?球馆、五门及屋? spread over five familiar trim levels (LX, Zetec, Zetec-S, Ghia and Ghia X).熟悉修剪分5级(lx,zetec,zetec硫、ghia和ghia十).

Equipment levels include most of what you would expect ?各级装备包括大部分你是否期望? air conditioning, front electric windows, a decent quality stereo and so on.空调、电动前窗,立体声品质优良等等. There?s plenty of stowage space around the cabin too, with perfectly-shaped homes for items like window squeeges, atlases, drinks cans, tapes, CDs, owners manuals and mobile ?phones.?收盘周围太空舱装载大量过,完全形象舍项目窗口squeeges、地图、铝罐、录音带、光碟、手册、车主移动?电话. Notable options include a facia-mounted CD autochanger and a DVD video system with screens mounted in the back of the front head rests: with films or linked to a PlayStation, that should keep the kids quiet on long journeys.显期权列入筋膜展开的DVD影音autochanger和视频系统安装在屏幕背后前排头部在于:影片以一个或相连的PlayStation,要保持安静,孩子远行.

WHAT YOU PAY  您付出
Prices start at around £4,200 for a 2000X registered Mondeo 1.8i LX saloon.价格为4200英镑左右开始2000x注册蒙迪欧1.8ilx球馆. The hatches command another £150 with the desirable estates tacking on another £750.另外150英镑的舱口指挥与理想屋对付另一个750英镑. A 2.0-litre Zetec model of similar vintage will be £4,500 in saloon guise, £4,550 in hatchback form and £4,900 if you need an estate.一个2.0公升zetec模式类似古董将在4500英镑球馆重现,英镑4550英镑4900年hatchback形式如果你需要一个产业.

The 2.5-litre cars offer a beautiful V6 warble and the Ghia X starts at just under £5,200 in saloon form on the 2000X plate, £5,800 for a hatch and £5,550 for an estate.2.5升V6导车提供一个美丽而模仿ghia十大英镑5200年开始就在球馆中的2000x板块5800英镑为5550英镑,对地产舱口. Should you fancy a diesel, the 2.0 TDdi model opens at £4,700 for an LX trim, but we?d recommend stretching that bit further and going for an ex-demonstrator or low mileage TDCi.要你喜欢柴油,2.0tddi示范开幕的4700英镑lx修剪、但我们?四、建议进一步延伸到有点狂喜的当然还是低里程tdci示威. You?ll thank us for it afterwards.你?我们感谢当地资讯.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR  寻找什么
The Series Three Mondeo has proved commendably reliable to date, although owners have commented on cold starting issues with the TDdi diesel engine and the occasional duff driveshaft.3蒙迪欧系列证明可靠值得称赞迄今虽然业主曾就有关问题进行冷启动tddi柴油机和传动轴偶尔煤粉. There was a recall on petrol engined Mondeos in August 2001 when 5,500 cars were brought in to have their cruise control systems adjusted as there had been an instance when the system had failed to disengage.有人记得2001年8月汽油引擎mondeos当5500辆汽车被引进到巡航控制系统的调整,例如当有了制度未能脱离接触. On the whole, the Mondeo is a quality product at mainstream prices.就整体而言,蒙迪欧价格是主流产品的质量.

REPLACEMENT PARTS  替换零件
(approx prices for a 1.8 excl VAT) A front wing costs around £95 and a windscreen just under £135.(大约180价格不包括增值税)翼锋费约95英镑的挡风玻璃,略低于135英镑. Tyres are just under £90 and a complete exhaust system (including catalytic converter) would set you back about £450.就在90英镑轮胎完全排气系统(催化转化器等),能为你回约450英镑.

ON THE ROAD  在路上
Were it not for that Blue Oval staring back from the steering wheel boss, you might well mistake the interior if the Mondeo for a VW Passat whose owner had a penchant for showy clocks.如果没有这回蓝色椭圆凝视方向盘老板你可能会错,如果内政部蒙迪欧帕萨特了64+15的主雪山钟表爱好者. It?s all scarily logical, although not quite perfect, especially if your hands are anything less than dainty.?收盘各惶恐逻辑,尽管不太完善,特别是如果你们手中有什么比纤巧. If this is the case, whenever you select third or fifth gear the back of your hand will change the radio station.如果是这样的话,每当你选择第三或第五轮背面订单,将改变你的电台. The handbrake is badly positioned with not enough roiom for your knuckles or your thumb.handbrake奇缺的位置不够roiom与您或您的拇指转向节.

You?ll forgive the Mondeo its minor ergonomic pratfalls when you hit the road.你?当地原谅蒙迪欧小工效pratfalls当你上路了. Most of the engines on offer were all-new at launch, the exception being the 170bhp 2.5-litre V6: fair enough ?大部分的引擎都提供全新系列,除了作为170bhp2.5公升V6导:公道? there wasn?t much wrong with that.有.其余?笔大错. Since then, a second 217bhp V6 has been developed for the flagship ST220, this being 3.0-litres in size.此后,已制定了第二217bhpV6导st220为旗舰,这是3.0-公升尺寸.

The all-alloy Duratec HE 1.8 and 2.0-litre petrol units used in more humble Mondeos are superb, developing 123 and 143bhp respectively and feeling faster thanks to strong low-down torque.全合金duratec他182.0公升汽油的使用单位有更谦卑mondeos精湛、分别为123和143bhp发展较快的感谢和感受强烈下流扭矩. They?re a sack of potatoes (20 kgs) lighter than rival engines, which helps performance (sixty from rest takes 9.8 seconds in the 2.0-litre) and are very rigid, which helps to achieve Passat-levels of refinement.他们?再一袋土豆(20公斤),比对手轻发动机这有助于表现(603982639月8日需在2.0秒公升),而且非常僵硬,从而达到帕萨特-层次细化. Whilst refinement isn?t the keynote of the 2.0-litre TDdi 113bhp Duratorq turbo diesel engine, it produces extremely decent fuel figures (up to 48mpg on the combined cycle).虽然精致肖国?笔基调的2.0公升113bhpduratorqtddi涡轮柴油机燃料产生极其体面人物(最多的联合循环48mpg). It?s still not the quietest unit of its kind (the Transit associations show through here) but the performance (rest to sixty in 10.6s on the way to 121mph) is some recompense.?收盘仍不宁静的同类型单位(协会展览通过这里中转),但业绩(休息至60月在10.6s途中121mph)是一些报偿. Mind you, if you really want to see a step forward in the diesel stakes, then you need to try the TDCi common rail turbo diesel unit: refined and fast, this is a far more impressive proposition and a tribute to Ford?s Centre for Diesel Excellence based in Dagenham.记住,如果你真想见向前柴油赌注,那么你需要尝试tdci共轨涡轮柴油股:成品快、这是一个更为可观命题和福特致敬?收盘卓越中心设在dagenham柴油. Whilst not as quiet as the 1.8litre TDCi unit fitted to the Focus and easy to stall when emerging from junctions, it?s otherwise a crushingly competent engine, quick, tractable and almost comically economical.虽然不平静的1.8litretdci重点单位、易于安装档时摆脱路口?另有一名军方主管的发动机,快速、多晶片几乎滑稽经济效益. As with all Mondeos, the handling is beyond reproach.如所有mondeos,处理无可非议. Whilst other rivals have made ground on the Ford in terms of interior quality, packaging and engine technology nothing in this class approaches the Mondeo?s ability to tackle a corner.虽然其他对手取得地上福特在室内质量包装和本级发动机技术的蒙迪欧办法?收盘能力对付一个角落.

OVERALL  总体
Timing has a lot to answer for.有很多时间回答. Tony Jarrett would have been a national hero had Colin Jackson not been around at the same time.汤尼田径本来民族英雄曾科林杰克逊并未在同一时间左右. Likewise, nobody will remember 2001?s Academy award winning movie because of the clamour for Harry Potter.同样,没有人会记得2001年吗?收盘奥斯卡金像奖得奖电影哈利波特因渴求. The Mark Three Mondeo is perpetually overshadowed by its illustrious junior sibling, the Focus.马克三蒙迪欧没完笼罩着它杰出青年同胞、焦点. Had the Focus never turned a wheel, the Mondeo would make hot cakes look like a sticky product line.从未有重点转向了车轮,蒙迪欧将使热门蛋糕又像粘生产线. A used example may not be the most individual automotive choice you could ever make, but it might just be the best.用一个例子可能不是最有可能使你个人选择汽车、但它也可能只是最好. When Jaguar salesmen surreptitiously inform you that the X-TYPE shares the same basic architecture as a Mondeo you know the Ford is all good.当推销员暗中通知你,美洲虎X型相同的基本架构,作为蒙迪欧福特是你知道一切良好.
