美國最權威的 Car And Driver 的試駕報告出爐!!!
先來個短評﹕
優點﹕好看又寬敞的室內空間﹐無可挑剔的組裝品質﹐平順道路表現
缺點﹕偶而出現的結構性斗動﹐還有請問有誰可以幫忙把船錨拉起來﹖﹖ (因為跑不動)
原文
It’s hard to believe, but long experience has taught us that there are whole battalions of people for whom haste is a nonissue. Discerning, car-savvy people. With a keen eye for fit, finish, and materials. An industrial designer’s appreciation of ergonomics. A finely tuned sense of ride quality. But 0-to-60 mph? Hey, what’s your hurry?
也許會很難相信﹐但是多年來的經驗告訴了我們外面有一狗票懂車的人並不在乎性能﹐但是對於品質/用料/人體工學/行路品質非常的龜毛。 至於 0-96km/h 加速表現﹖ 挖勒!﹐幹嗎那麼趕呢﹖
If you see yourself reflected in this mirror, and you’re a candidate for a mid-size family ride, this new Legacy 2.5i should be on your list. It’s quiet, it’s roomy, it looks good (in a mid-size generic way), it’s nicely finished within, and as always, all-wheel drive is part of the deal. Haste is not.
假如您認為您就是上面這種人﹐然後正在考慮一輛中型的家庭用車﹐您應該把這部車放入您的考慮清單。 這部車安靜﹐寬敞﹐順眼 (因為跟其他廠牌的車長的差不多) 內裝品質良好而且 AWD 也隨車附上。 但是獨缺了性能。
One caution: If easy-does-it is your style, make sure you get the right 2.5. The 2.5-liter, flat-four turbo propelling the 2.5GT generates a robust 265 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, enough to attain 60 mph in the low-five-second range. The naturally aspirated version—standard in the 2.5i—is much less spirited, at 170 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque.
請注意﹐假如您是個慢步調的人﹐請選擇正確的 2.5L 版本﹐ 2.5GT 的 0-96km/h 加速只有 5 秒出頭﹐不要買錯了。
We drove a 2.5i allied with Subaru’s new Lineartronic CVT automatic—it adds $1000—and hit 60 mph in 8.8 seconds. That’s faster than it feels, and there are other four-cylinder automatic sedans that won’t keep up: The Chrysler Sebring comes to mind. But it’s still pretty deliberate. The Legacy likely would be quicker with the standard six-speed manual, but the CVT promises a big advantage in fuel economy—23 mpg city and 31 highway, according to the EPA, versus 19 and 27 for the manual. This is a big deal, as the CVT Legacy is now class-competitive with the mid-size front-drivers that, Subaru says, had previously occluded the Legacy’s appeal. We averaged 25 mpg over a week, which entailed a lot of stand-on-it driving.
我們開的是 2.5i CVT 版本 ($1,000 美金選配) 0-96km/ 是 8.8 秒﹐比實際感覺上快﹐而且路上也是有其他的4缸自排車比這臺更慢。 6MT 版本也許會更快些﹐但是 CVT 省油的功效 (市區23mpg/高速31mpg) 比 6MT 來的更好 (市區19mph/高速27mpg)。 SUBARU 表示現在的 LEGACY AWD + CVT 已經跟其他廠牌 FF 轎車的油耗差不多﹐算是很了不起的成就。 我們一個禮拜下來的平均油耗是 25mpg﹐ 其中也包含了很多油門到底的駕駛。
PS﹕ 25mpg 不錯了啦, 小弟當初在高中時在美國開 1990 Honda CRX Si 1.6L 108hp 手排的平均油耗是 28mpg
Sprint numbers notwithstanding, there’s a lot to like here—more than in the previous Legacy, literally and figuratively. As noted in our September preview, the fifth generation of Subaru’s mainstream sedan is bigger in every dimension. It still ranks at the small end of the mid-size-sedan parade—about the size of a Volkswagen Passat—but its increased dimensionality pays off in rear-seat space that goes from tight to comfortably habitable by three adults. There’s more room in the boot, too—15 cubic feet—and of course the rear seatbacks (split 60/40) fold forward to expand stowage.
性能以外的表現就比較討喜﹐5代目的車體雖然跟競爭對手比還是小了些 (大概 VW PASSAT 的尺寸) 但是後座空間從4代目的狹小到現在可以舒服的乘坐3個成人。 行李箱空間也增加了 (4門)
Outside, the latest Legacy looks familiar. There’s just enough change to impart a sense of newness, tempered by the cautious styling common in this conservative class. It gets better inside, where even this entry-end car is furnished with high-quality materials, from headliner to dashboard to door panels to the cloth seat upholstery. We were bemused by the extensive use of silvery plastic trim—instead of bogus burl there is bogus aluminum—but in general this interior is classy.
外觀上新車看起來很平凡﹐內裝方面的表現就比較讓人驚艷﹐即使入門款的內裝用料就很有水準。
Dynamically, there are no surprises, particularly of the unpleasant variety. The Legacy’s languid forward progress is matched by transient responses we’d characterize as cautious, with an occasional tremor on sharp bumps running through the otherwise solid unibody. Like most mid-size, mid-price sedans, progressive understeer is the defining dynamic trait, the trade-off for ride quality worthy of a Buick.
操控麻.....完全沒有任何讓人意外的地方 (尤其是負面的)
車體結構感覺上堅固強壯﹐但是有些路面坑洞還是會導致車體結構共振。
就像大部份的中型房車﹐轉向不足是標準配備
行路品質可以跟別克互別苗頭
Grip, with a set of M+S Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02s (P205/60R-16), is just so-so at 0.81 g, and braking—186 feet from 70 mph—is lamentable, though this can be said for almost any car in this class, a strange trait for family sedans.
輪胎抓地力是鳥鳥的 0.81g
煞車表現不提也罷
Subaru pricing sometimes seems a little uppity—$21,690 for a base 2.5i CVT, $22,990 as tested. That base price is higher than the get-in for the automatic-equipped base versions of the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Nissan Altima, and Toyota Camry. But remember, all-wheel drive is baked in; most of the other cars don’t even offer AWD. With that in mind, along with its other persuasive virtues, the new Legacy begins to look like a pretty attractive deal. Provided you’re not in a big hurry.
價格比其他人貴﹐但是考慮到 AWD 是標準配備跟其他優點所以只要您不在乎性能表現其實還是很有競爭力。
