Before I start telling you about this all new 2012 Subaru presenters, one thing I want to make it kind of bugs me about Subarus, is Subaru honors, really some of them, they can be a little touchy.
在我開始評論這款2012年全新的斯巴魯跨界車之前,我想聲明一點,斯巴魯的名聲可能會干擾我。評論其中的某些車型真的讓我感到有點棘手。
During this review, I may criticize certain aspects of this or other Subaru products, no insult is intended to you or to any member of your immediate family, please hear out.
在這次點評中,我可能會在某方面批評這款或其他斯巴魯車型,但我并非有意冒犯你或者你的親人,請不要放在心上。
Great, now we have a little talk.
好極了,現在我們開始討論吧。
Now let’s take a look at this car, the first thing you’ll notice about it is it’s a huge step forward for Subaru in terms of design, and that’s actually not bad looking, sorry, but exterior design has not been a real strong point of the Subaru over the years, if you know what I mean, but this one actually looks kind of sharp.
先來看看這輛車吧,首先我們會注意到這款斯巴魯轎車在設計上跨越很大,實際上它看起來并不丑,不好意思,但近些年斯巴魯車型內飾設計并不具備真正的產品優點,如果你懂我的意思的話,這款車看起來確實有點夸張。
This particular car, by the way, is Subaru Impreza wagon, get it as sedan too. Driving this car is really where it all comes together, steering I could feel to it, even the brakes feel good, and the car handles pretty well. This car has what experts call the continuously variable transmission, means it doesn’t have saparate gears like you know, first, second, third like that, instead it actually varies the gear ratios continuously as you’re driving, so, well, theoretically at least, you should always be in the optimal gear ratio for maximum efficiency, all in all, you can say it’s a lot more fun to drive the mighty thing from looking at a compact wagon from the outside.
順便提一下,這款轎車就是斯巴魯異類翼豹,也算是轎車類。駕駛這輛車就會體會到它的強大功能。手握方向盤的感覺很好,剎車也不錯,可以輕松地操控這輛車。專家們稱這款車制動方式為無段自動變速,意味著它沒有分離排擋,一檔,二檔,三檔等等;相反,它會在你駕駛時連續變換齒輪比。因此,至少從理論上說,為了最高效行駛它總是將齒輪比調整到最佳狀態。可以說駕駛這輛強悍跨界車帶來的樂趣要遠遠超過在外面觀賞的樂趣。
You know, one problem I’ve had with Subaru cars in the past is, I felt like some of them have relied too much on the all-wheel drive to make them competitive, if I will drive cars, it’d be ok.
你知道,過去我駕駛斯巴魯時遇到過一個問題,我覺得有些車型太過于依賴四輪驅動來彰顯競爭力,如果我要開車的話,這款過得去。
In this case, this is a car that even if with just front wheel drive, simply be a pretty darn good car. The fact is it’s all wheel drive, for a lot of people is gonna put it over the top. I like that.
在這種情況下,這款車即使有前輪驅動,也只不過是一輛性能好的車。事實上,它是四輪驅動,對于許多人而言這是首選。我喜歡這樣。
