I-Saab 9-3 Linear Sport 2008 Uhlolojikelele
Ihlinzeka ngamamodeli amabili kuphela, uhlobo lwaseSweden luthengise izimoto eziyi-1862 kuphela ngonyaka odlule. Isiqephu esincane semakethe, kodwa hhayi ngenxa yokuntuleka kokuzikhethela ebangeni.
Phakathi kwemigqa emibili yamamodeli - 9-3 kanye ne-9-5 - kukhona izinketho ze-BioPower diesel, uphethiloli kanye ne-ethanol, kanye nokukhetha kwe-sedan, i-station wagon noma i-convertible.
Njengoba ingekho imodeli entsha eqondile emkhathizwe, ukuguga oku-9-3 kusanda kungena empilweni yakamuva. Ngemuva kweminyaka yokuqhubeka - yagcina ukubuyekezwa ngo-2002 - i-9-3 ithole izimpawu zesitayela ezinesibindi. Igqugquzelwe yimoto yomqondo i-Aero X, i-9-3 idla ubhedu.
Ingaphambili lisha cishe lisha, linegrille egqame kakhudlwana, amabhampa amasha okubumba namalambu, kanye nokubuya kwehood ethi "clamshell".
Kwenye indawo, ezinye izinguquko ezengeziwe zenziwe ukuze zibukeke kabusha, nakuba izinguquko zingahluka kakhulu futhi isiSwidi sisabukeka sincane.
Ku-$50,900, i-9-3 ifika emakethe yokunethezeka, kodwa ayiphili ngokwentengo nokusebenza okulindelwe. Okuhlangenwe nakho kuka-9-3 kufana nokubuka ifilimu engagculisi ngokuphelele. Umbono wakho wokuqala: "Ingabe abantu bazoqaphela uma ngihamba?"
Hlala ubukele futhi kukhona izici ezingase zizame ukukunqoba, kodwa iyonke le ifilimu ka-B.
Inguqulo yethu yezimoto yalokhu kuzizwisa ixhaswe yi-1.9-litre turbodiesel, ehlanganisa amaphesenti angu-31 wenani lokuthengiswa kwe-9-3. Nakuba ukusebenza kwebanga eliphakathi bekukuhle, inselele bekuwukufinyelela lapho.
Into yokuqala ozoyiqaphela yi-turbo lag enkulu. Beka ingcindezi onyaweni lwakho futhi kuzodingeka ulinde lokho okubonakala sengathi iminyaka yobudala nganoma yikuphi ukusabela okunengqondo.
Ekugcineni, iqala cishe ku-2000 rpm, izulazula kuze kube ngu-2750 rpm - futhi kungcono ukuthi ulungele.
Njengoba unyawo lutshaliwe, ukubonakala kwawo wonke ama-torque angu-320 Nm kungase kusimangaze, njengoba i-torque ingaphathwa kanye nayo. Amandla aphezulu angu-110 kW afinyelelwa ku-4000 rpm.
Ukudluliswa okuzenzakalelayo bekunethezekile futhi kusebenza kahle kumodi yokushayela, kodwa ukuya endaweni yabasebenzisi bekudumaza.
Uma ushintsha uye kuma-manual, ama-gearshift atholakala kalula esiteringini, kodwa uvamise ukuphikisa ukukhetha kwegiya no-transmission sitter.
Noma yimuphi umzamo wokushintsha egiyeni lesihlanu ngejubane lika-80 km/h kuholele ekutheni kube nengxabano eshubile nokukhafula, umshayeli angaphumi nakancane.
U-Anti Saab wazi kangcono, futhi nakuba ungase ufune ukusebenza egiyeni lomnotho, umshini wokuhambisa umshini ulokhu ucindezela amagiya.
Okufanayo kuya kumagiya aphansi kanye nesivinini esiphansi.
Zama imodi ye-Sport Drive futhi kuba nokushuba kakhulu, nje ubambe ama-downshift isikhathi eside kakhulu.
Futhi akuwona umsindo we-sporty rev, kodwa kunalokho ukububula koshintsho okulindelekile kodwa olungekho.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukugibela kuntofontofo edolobheni nge-suspension ethambile, futhi kungumshini okulula ukuwuqondisa, onesiteringi esiqinile kanye nesiyingi esiphendukayo esiqinile.
Dlula izithiyo zokuqala bese i-9-3 iba i-cruiser enethezekile. Idizayini yekhabhinethi izwakala ibuthuntu futhi ingeyakamuva, kodwa isasebenza ngesitayela sayo sase-Swedish, kodwa iphakanyiswe izihlalo zesikhumba ezimnyama ezintofontofo.
Ngaphakathi kuphinde kuthule futhi akukho msindo omncane womgwaqo noma wenjini.
Yize udizili uyabonakala njengoba amawindi ephansi.
Ngokwesiko lama-Saab, ukuthungela kubaselwe kukhonsoli phakathi komshayeli nomgibeli, futhi kunesikhala esikhulu sokulondoloza ekhabetheni.
Uphinde uthole ukuthula kwengqondo nge-ESP, i-traction control, ama-airbag angaphambili esiteji amabili omshayeli nomgibeli, amakhanda abekwe isihlalo sangaphambili eseceleni nama-airbag asethorax, nezithilo ekhanda ezisebenzayo.
Iphuma nezinsiza ezisezingeni, okubalwa isihlalo somshayeli esishintshwa ngogesi, amasondo angu-17 inch alloy, izihlalo zangaphambili ezifudumalayo, cruise control, into epholile efakwe kwi-glove box, isondo eliyisipele eliwusayizi ogcwele kanye ne-automatic climate control.
Kodwa ukuze uthole usizo lokupaka, i-sunroof kanye ne-headrest ephakathi nendawo kuyodingeka kukhokhe imali eyengeziwe.
I-9-3 ithi idla amalitha angu-7.0 ngebanga lika-100 km, kodwa ukuhlolwa kwethu kubonise ukuthi iphakeme kancane uma ushayela edolobheni, ibiza amalitha angu-7.7 ngebanga lika-100 km.
U-Saab useneminyaka eyi-scrapper. Azikho phezulu esihlahleni sikanokusho saseYurophu, kodwa zinokwanele ukugcina labo ababathandayo bekhexile.
Asiyena omunye wabo. Isikhathi esichithwe ngo-9-3 sasingenalutho kancane, njengokungathi kukhona okunye, okungcono, okungenakufinyeleleka.
Kodwa likhona ithemba. I-twin-turbo powertrain entsha kadizili kulindeleke lapha ngenyanga ezayo. I-TTiD, eyi-1.9-litre four-cylinder, enezigaba ezimbili ene-turbocharged injini, izojoyina uhlelo futhi kufanele inikeze ukusebenza okungcono okuphansi.
Ama-turbocharger amabili anosayizi abahlukene futhi ahlinzeka ngetorque esheshayo ngesivinini esiphansi kanye namandla aphezulu aphezulu kumarev aphezulu.
I-BOTTOM LINE
I-Saab 9-3 iza nohlu lwemishini ehloniphekile, kodwa lezi zithiyo zokusebenza kukadizili kunzima ukuzinqoba.
