HISTORY历史
*HISTORY*历史
Given the low number of cars initially available from the factory, and the proliferation of MPVs in the cheaper reaches of the market, Honda (UK) at first decided to premium-price the Shuttle.由于汽车数量偏低可从最初厂而在扩散mpvs便宜游市场本田(英国)当初决定保费价格穿梭. This was a mistake.这是一个错误.
With only a single 2.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine model (no diesels), automatic-only transmission and a seating capacity of no more than six, the first Shuttle struggled in the showrooms.仅有一位2.2公升四汽缸汽油发动机模型(没有柴油机)自动传输和只有一个座位不超过六个,第一陈列室穿梭在挣扎. Prices were slashed in June 1997 with the introduction of a revised and expanded range.1997年6月被削减价格由于加入了修改,扩大范围. The initial single high-spec ES was replaced by a seven-seat entry-level LS and a plusher six-seat SE.最初单一的高光谱权证已换了七座位入门级物流、车窗六席硒. Both had air conditioning as standard and shared the original car's four-cylinder 2,156cc engine.空调作为标准均分担原车的四缸引擎2156完工.
In February 1998 the Shuttle received a new 2.3-litre VTEC engine (with the same power output as the 2.2) and some minor styling changes including a new grille and bumpers plus a body colour roof spoiler.航天飞机于1998年2月收到新2.3公升总量的发动机(具有相同的输出功率2.2)和一些小的变化,包括新造型、保险杠另加门锁体色屋顶破坏者. The standard automatic transmission was revised to give smoother shifts, the brakes were uprated with an electronic pressure distribution system and the instrument panel gained a rev counter and digital mileage recorder.标准修改自动变速器顺畅给轮班新型干法分别与刹车系统与电子仪表板压力分布有了晨曦里程记录器及数码柜台.
The entry-level car was again a seven-seat LS with twin airbags, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning and power windows and mirrors.入门级轿车又七座位的LS双气袋、防抱死制动系统、空调、电力窗户及镜子. Alternatively, buyers could choose the six-seat ES which also had cruise control, alloy wheels, an electric sunroof, roof rails and body-coloured door handles and mirrors.或者,买方可以选择六个座位权证也有巡航控制、合金车轮电动天窗,屋顶铁轨和身体颜色门柄及镜子. In February 1999 Honda added Executive versions of both the LS and ES to the range.1999年2月加入本田执行双方的LS和ES版本的射程. These have leather upholstery and a CD player but are quite rare on the used market.这些皮革座垫及影音播放,也相当罕见的使用市场. The range was phased out late in 2000.射程在2000年底被淘汰.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
*WHAT YOU GET*您得
Behind the wheel, you sit high up, though the fact that the driving position isn't quite as lofty as some other MPVs lends credence to the Shuttle's car-like aspirations as well as making it less of a culture shock for first-time users.后面的车轮,你坐高放虽然事实并非主动地位相当崇高,作为其他一些mpvs转借证明穿梭的汽车像期望以及一个文化冲击较少,使首次用户. What will surprise them is the way that the glassy cabin manages to swallow up to six or seven people with such airy ease.他们惊讶的是什么方式,能够吞噬玻舱6至7人有这样通风踏实.
Honda tried hard to re-create the spacious atmosphere of a private jet (hence the car's original `PJ` concept code-name), providing wide individual `Captain's` chairs for both the front and centre row passengers in the six-seat models.本田竭力重新创造宽敞气氛私人飞机(所以车子的'珠子'的概念原代号)`个人提供广泛船长`椅、两个中心前排乘客连续六个座位模式. The seven-seat models have a comfortable three-person bench in the centre row.7座型号有舒适的三人合议庭在中心减产. The driver and front passenger sit high, while the seats of their travelling companions immediately behind can be removed completely should a vast cargo area be required.司机及前座乘客坐高而其座位后面行驶同伴马上可以完全清除了广阔货运方面应予以配合.
At the very rear, there's a neat solution to the occasional need for extra accommodation - a two-person bench that folds cleverly into the floor when out of use.在很后面,还有一个巧妙的解决偶尔需要额外住宿-二人台进入现场时,倍出巧妙运用. Normally, this would be a claustrophobic place to ride, but the space-saving use of a column-mounted automatic transmission selector lever has enabled Honda to leave a narrow aisle that, in the six-seater, stretches aircraft-style all the way to the front.通常,这将是一个困乏坐地,但太空节约使用一栏式自动变速器选择杆使本田离去,走道狭窄,在六个座位,自北而南飞机式一路向前方. This of course means that mum or dad can storm back to separate squabbling children without leaving the car.这当然是指爸爸妈妈还是可以回暴风入神儿童单独留在车内.
You should find however, that your offspring (or any other willing passengers come to that) will be pleasantly surprised by the Shuttle `experience`.你应该找但是你后代(或其他任何愿意来,乘客)将惊喜的穿梭`经验`. While younger ones will gleefully load their coke cans into the recessed seat-mounted cup holders, even gangly older travellers will find themselves able to make full use of the six-seater?s `aisle` by stretching right out and reclining their seats to enjoy the panoramic views.而年龄较小的负荷会兴高采烈焦炭罐入肚座位装杯持有即使年纪gangly旅客将发现自己能够充分利用六个座位吗?收盘``走道的座位上伸展右出,斜倚享受全景看法.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
*WHAT TO LOOK FOR*寻找什么
Very little: the car tends to prove predictably reliable.很少:汽车倾向于证明料可靠. A full service history is preferable.历史是最好的全面服务. As with all MPVs, check for parking bumps and scrapes, plus interior damage caused by over-enthusiastic children.如所有mpvs、碰撞及擦伤停车检查,加上内部损伤过度热心儿童.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
*REPLACEMENT PARTS*更换零件
(based on a P-reg 2.2ES - approx ex-Vat) A full exhaust system (excluding catalyst) is around £100.(基于磷再生2.2es-大约前增值税)全部排气系统(不含催化剂)约为100英镑.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
*ON THE ROAD*在路上
Some MPVs are essentially vans with extra windows and drive accordingly.基本上mpvs一些额外的窗户和驾驶货车. Not this one.这次没有. No lesser judge than ex-Grand Prix driver Jonathan Palmer at launch pronounced its handling the equal of any executive saloon.没有比法官少退伍大奖赛司机乔纳森帕尔在平等发射宣判处理任何长官球馆.
All-wishbone suspension - a rare luxury in a road car - guarantees safe, predictable handling without the kind of lurch and roll you'd normally expect in a tall vehicle of this kind.各臂悬浮难得豪华轿车在公路保安全未经处理的预测和滚动,就会无所适从,一般预料,在这种汽车高楼大厦. All of which allows the performance (rest to sixty in under twelve seconds on the way to 114mph) to be used to the full via the automatic gearbox (there's no manual option).所有这一切让业绩(休息至60月在不到12秒的办法114mph)用来充分利用自动变速箱(有没有办法手册).
The Shuttle was purposely designed to respond this way in order to match its intended role as a luxury car rather than a commercial carrier - or indeed, a family hold-all.航天飞机被特意设计了这样的回应为了配合其预定的作用,而不是作为一个豪华的商业航母-甚或一家持一切. In fact, though Honda maintain that it was designed from a clean sheet of paper, it owes much (including its smooth sixteen valve engine), to upmarket versions of the pre-1998 Accord saloon.事实上,虽然本田认为它旨在从一个干净纸、这归功于(含16气门发动机顺利),高档版本前98协议球馆.
OVERALL 总体
*OVERALL*整体
It costs about the same as a lesser-specified Ford Galaxy and is well worth considering.成本约相同较轻指定福特银河,很值得我们深思. Build quality is much better and that walk-through aisle arrangement is very practical for families - even if it does restrict you to the six-seater versions.建立质量好得多,步行通过走道安排很实用的家庭,即使你限制它的六个座位的版本.
