HYUNDAI AMICA (2000 - 2003)现代地解决(2000年至2003年)
Can you think of a friend you could possibly phone if Tarrant was to ask you to name the differences between a Hyundai Amica and a Hyundai Atoz?你能想到朋友的电话,如果你能向你的名字是塔兰特区别地解决了现代与现代atoz? Both tiny five door city cars, both powered by a miniature 1.0-litre engine, both given the cold shoulder by UK buyers in favour of something more conventional the similarities between them seem more obvious than the distinctions.小小的五门两种车城,无论是动力的一个缩影1.0公升引擎由于受冷遇都赞成英国买家更传统的相似之处似乎更为明显高于鉴别. Hyundai claimed the Amica was wrapped in a more sporty, rounded bodyshell.现代集团宣称被包裹在一个更加潇洒地解决,四舍五入bodyshell. Park the two cars side by side and they both seem vaguely slab sided, whilst the only sporting image the Amica conjures up is seniors tour golf.园区两车并列,两人似乎隐约板面,虽然只是虚构的体育形象地解决了老年人高尔夫巡回. Nonetheless, if we put aside Hyundai?s vacuous marketing puff, what are we left with?尽管如此,如果撇开现代?收盘空虚营销自夸,我们还可以得到什么? The Amica is an unconventional, if highly effective, city car that will appeal to those who want the peace of mind of buying nearly new without paying the earth.地解决了超常规的是,如果高效、汽车城将吸引那些想要买的安心几乎没有付出新的地球.
HISTORY历史
British buyers do not like egg-box shaped cars.英国买家不喜欢蛋盒形车. This was the conclusion Hyundai arrived at, having seen the lukewarm reception afforded the Daihatsu Move, Suzuki Wagon R and their own Atoz city car, and the Korean giant could only look on in abject disappointment as sales of Daewoo?s curvy little Matiz sailed off the graph.这一结论是现代抵达看过这部冷淡接待给予大发此举铃木旅行车R和自身atoz车城、而韩国巨擘只有望销售85万失望大宇?在弯曲的小图matiz驶离. Rather than bring in a radically different model, Hyundai instead rebodied the Atoz city car with sassier styling, which was more redolent of an egg-box caught in a Seoul monsoon.而非带来一个截然不同的模式,而不是现代都市车sassieratozrebodied的造型、联想更是一个蛋盒季风陷入了汉城. Like the Atoz, it boasted a multi-valve engine, something that no other rival could offer and was available in Si or GSi guise when launched in the UK in February 2000.atoz一样,拥有一个多气门发动机有没有其他竞争对手能够提供与供应硅或GSI的幌子当2000年2月在英国推出.
Whilst the Atoz never really got off the ground, clocking up a barely respectable 4800 sales in its first year, the Amica had loftier aspirations and sold 5700 units in its first year, an increase of nearly 20%.虽然从未真正下车atoz地面时序4800年的销售额上升了几乎令人尊敬的第一年崇高的理想地解决了部队在其5700年销售的第一年,增幅近20%. Aimed as it was at first time buyers and mothers with children looking for a second or third car, the Amica stressed a friendly face, light, easy controls and more than a nod toward urban practicality.由于这是第一次,目的在寻找买主和孩子的母亲,第二次或第三次车强调友好地解决了脸,轻,易于控制,对市区十多点头实用性. In summer 2000, a four-speed automatic replaced the three speed automatic gearbox, but otherwise the range has remained largely unchanged.2000年夏天,四速自动更换三名速自动变速箱,但幅度却没有多大变动. At the same time, the Amica?s progenitor, the Atoz disappeared from Hyundai?s price lists.在此同时,该地解决?收盘祖,现代atoz消失?收盘价目表.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The redesign that turned Atoz into Amica is clever.重新变为atoz成聪明地解决. Although most of the metalwork is the same below the window line and the roof has been lowered only 35mm, the Amica looks much sleeker.虽然大部分的金工是斯托伊窗线和屋顶已下降只有35米厘,看上去要比装有地解决了. A neat body colour rear spoiler gives the tail some character, too, and the top-spec GSi has very stylish alloy wheels.一个巧妙的体色后方扰流尾翼使一些性格,也而顶光谱GSI的合金轮子已经十分气派. A toothy chrome grille and new front bumper give the nose a distinctive expression, quite different from the Atoz.一toothy铬格栅、新的前保险杠让鼻子鲜明表达,atoz大不相同.
Hyundai took some care to distance the Amica from some of its wackier-looking Japanese rivals.现代远程代为照顾某些部分地解决了其wackier看日本的对手. In many ways, it is a far more sophisticated machine, with a tiny multi-valve one-litre ?Epsilon?在许多方面,这是一个更为精密机床,小小的多阀门一公升?小量? engine modified for what the engineers claimed to be ?exceptional refinement and efficiency?.引擎改装工程师自称是什么?特殊细化和效率?. It comes attached to either a five-speed manual, a five-speed semi-automatic or a three or four-speed automatic transmission.要么就附在五速手册、五速半自动或三、四速自动变速器. Like the Suzuki Wagon R+ (but unlike the European Ford Ka, VW Lupo and SEAT Arosa buyers may also consider), there are five-doors on offer and an uncommonly large amount of interior space for a car just 3,495mm (138 inches) long and 1,495mm (59 inches) wide.像铃木旅行车住宅+(但不像欧洲福特嘉、64+15lupo和座位arosa买家也可以考虑)有五门提供一个异常大量的汽车内部空间仅3495毫米(138英寸)长1495毫米(59英寸)宽.
That makes it shorter than the Ka, Lupo and Arosa (which is welcome) but also narrower (which isn't).这使得少于家,lupo,arosa(欢迎)而且窄(这不是). Nevertheless, the Amica boasts a standard of interior packaging that leaves its European rivals standing.不过,夸耀地解决了室内标准包装剩下欧洲对手身高. The cabin is little different from the old Atoz but then it doesn?t need to be.座舱很少不同于atoz但是它没有?须笔. There?s a neat hooded instrument binnacle, unusual circular vents, a big open cubby in front of the passenger and cup holders moulded into the centre console.?收盘整齐蒙头文书binnacle,寻常圆形喷口,大门前的露天cubby客杯持有塑造成中心控制台.
The door panels are more neatly integrated with the rest of the interior trim and have apparently been re-shaped to allow a little more knee room for tall drivers.板门较为整齐结合内政部其余都已被修剪、重新塑造让一点余地膝高大司机. Reducing the roof height has had surprisingly little effect on headroom; it?s still generous.屋顶居然已经身高减甚微通行;?收盘仍慷慨. In fact, the Amica was voted one of the UK?s most comfortable cars in a report by a leading ergonomist for What Car?事实上,地解决了被选为英国?最舒适的汽车在一份报告中领先ergonomist什么车? magazine.杂志. You?ll like the little touches too; the way the front seats recline into a semi-flat position for extra comfort over long journeys.你?当地很少触及太喜欢;前座横卧路成半以上单位任职舒适远行. Then there's the useful under-seat sliding tray, the built-in cup holders and the large map pockets in the front doors.还有一种有用的下座位滑动托盘,内置式杯持有大量的前门地图袋. Front and rear legroom is surprisingly good, as is hip and elbow room; though you?d be pushing it to describe the Amica as a family car.前方和后方legroom是出乎意料的好,这是髋、肘室;虽然你?四是把它形容地解决了家庭轿车.
It?s worth pointing out at this point one item that you don?t get as standard with the Amica and that?s ABS.?值得指出的项目之一,此时你鲍思?笔得标准地解决同题?ABS的收盘. In wet conditions the brakes easily overcome the modest grip afforded by the tiny tyres.在潮湿刹车容易克服谦虚握失之交臂小小的轮胎. Whilst it?s not dangerous per se, it is something that?s worth bearing in mind if you?ve only ever driven ABS-equipped cars.虽然?收盘本身并不危险,这是为何?如果你值得铭记的?只有不断驱动ABS的虚拟装备汽车.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Prices for the Amica start at around £2,400 for a 2000 V registered Si model.价格为2400英镑左右启动地解决了2000年第五注册泗模式. The Amica GSi starts at £2,500 for the manual on the same 2000 V plate, or just over £3,400 for a 2002 52-registered four-speed automatic.始于2500英镑的电喷地解决了2000年五盘同手册、还是只为3400英镑,超过2002年52-登记四速自动. Insurance is reasonably cheap.保险是相当便宜. The Si model falls into group 3, while the GSi soars into group 4, both a group higher than an equivalent Atoz.硅模型分为3组,而组成GSI的陡增4一群既高于同等atoz. That?s what you get for mentioning the word ?sporty?为何?您所换取的提字?潇洒? in the promotional literature.在宣传文学.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Despite covering low overall mileages, most Amicas see some pretty tough usage in the heart of the UK?s metropolitan areas.尽管整体哩复盖低,大多数amicas看到一些漂亮的强硬使用英国的心脏?收盘都市地区. It has one of the better 1.0-litre engines and dealers report that reliability to date has been excellent.有一个更好的1.0公升引擎和经销商可靠性报告迄今一直很好. As with any small city car check for parking bumps and scrapes, especially as the Amica may well have been purchased as a first car after passing the driving test.正如任何小城市停车检查车碰撞及擦伤,特别是作为地解决了可能被作为第一个购买汽车驾驶考试合格后. Also check the fitments at the rear for signs of damage by little hands.同时检查设备的损坏迹象后方的小手. Most manufacturers could save a lot of money by taking a couple of four-year olds for a test drive in the back of their cars to see what gets ripped out.多数厂商可以节省不少钱数以四年为一个海阔天空的试驾车回来看看自己亲手获得. Otherwise ensure that the Amica?s tyres and bumpers tyres are in good shape, that the chrome work hasn?t gone a bit flaky and that there?s a full service history on display.否则,确保地解决?收盘轮胎和轮胎保险杠上是好的,铬独具特色的工作?笔走有点酥,有吗?收盘充分展示历史服务. Try to get one with the ABS option fitted.尝试选择一个与ABS的安装.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx prices based on Amica 1.0 Si) Nothing too terrifying here.(价格大约1.0基于地解决泗)什么太可怕了. Most Amica parts are relatively cheap.最廉价地解决部分相对. A replacement exhaust is210, but if you need a catalyst you?ll need to fork out another £400.更换排气is210,但是如果你需要一个催化剂吧?另一名当地需要花上400英镑. Headlamps are around £90 each, whilst a new clutch assembly is £130.大灯英镑九十元左右,虽然是一个新的离合器组装130英镑. Expect to pat around £170 for an alternator and £150 for a starter motor.预计为170英镑,约八、发电机起动电机为150英镑. Front brake pads are £60 a pair with rears retailing at £72.前刹车皮是一双60英镑的抚养与零售英镑72. All about par for the course?全部过程约进行相提并论?
ON THE ROAD 在路上
You can?t expect too much of 55bhp, but the Amica is a willing performer, the tiny 1.0-litre engine getting top marks for effort, but a ?must try harder?你可以吗?笔55bhp期望太大,但是是一个地解决,愿意演员小小的1.0公升引擎得到最高分的努力,但是?必须更加努力? for refinement.精致. Ride is good, with some roll inevitable through tighter corners.坐好,有的经过严密滚动不可避免死角. Traction is decidedly modest and be aware that unless the previous owner forked out extra for it, you won?t have the benefit of ABS.牵引军火库谦虚知道除非前任业主叉出额外的话,你赢了?笔有ABS的好处. In the wet a heavy brake foot will have the car slithering about with all four wheels locked.在湿重脚刹车将车约青山绿水与所有四个轮子上锁. The little four-cylinder engine is surprisingly lively on the road (faster in fact than the figures - rest to sixty in 15.1s on the way to 88mph - suggest).小四汽缸引擎是出乎意料活泼的道路(事实上比数字快-休息15.1s至60月,在途中88mph-建议). You won't want to throw this car around on country roads but for nipping around the streets, it's ideal.你们不会乱成一团,此车全国各地的道路,而是一株街道,它的理想. It will handle most roads with ease, although quicker motorways and trunk roads will require maximum throttle most of the time.它将处理道路最轻松、虽然高速公路和干线公路将需要更快最高油门大部分时间.
This sort of driving is not conducive to good fuel consumption.这种不利于良好的驾驶油耗. With a bit more circumspection you can expect over 35mpg around town and as much as 50mpg on the open road.有一点可以预料总管超过35mpg高达50mpg镇周围的道路. With an average consumption of around 44mpg, the Amica has a potential range of around 350 miles from the 7.7-gallon tank, which will make cross country journeys that little bit more convenient.平均消费约为44mpg,地解决潜在的射程大约有350英里7.7加仑罐这将使越野行程,多一点方便.
OVERALL 总体
What you?re buying into with a used Hyundai Amica is peace of mind.你呢?重新买地解决了用现代的安心. Knowing that it?s unlikely that the previous owner abused the car, knowing that you?ve got the backup of some of the best after sales service around and safe in the knowledge that not a lot goes wrong, as long as you?re aware of the Amica?s limitations it?s hard to put a foot wrong.知道吗?收盘前主人虐待不大可能车你知道吗?维生素E有备份一些最佳售后服务及周围的安全不知道有很多事情,只要你?重新认识地解决了吗?它的局限性?收盘很难将踏错. It?s not the most stylish or most sophisticated city car, but it?s got simplicity, functionality and value on its side, and won?t cost a fortune to run.?收盘不是最气派最先进的城市或汽车,但它?收盘获得简便、就其功能和价值方面,赢得了吗?笔横财经营成本. It?s an honest and unpretentious used buy.?收盘用来买一个诚实、朴实.
