    Is the Delta worth it?

    Hi Andy Have to say I absolutely love mine & have no intention of getting rid. Quick, decently economical, cheap to maintain, lovely to drive & not like everbody else's. Mine is a 1.4 Multiair turbo petrol SR model; half leather half alcantara, climate a/c, 17" wheels plus mine has reversing sensors. I don't do diesels so the Limited or the Momo editions were not for me, though I do prefer the Momo's all black interior. I have changed all the C-word parts to the correct Lancia items (sill plates, headrests, airbag, grille, rear badge, wheel caps, engine cover). You can find mine on the 'Autotrader 1.4SR 16k miles' thread on here: https://www.chryslerforum.co.uk/topic/5020-on-autotrader-14-sr-only-16k-miles/ The Chrysler branding is just a weird / stupid marketing decision FCA made with these & the Ypsilon. They had plans to finally reintroduce Lancia to the UK & Ireland with these 2 models, but with buying Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge etc combined with the 2008 economic crash Fiat bottled it. They rebranded them as Chrysler to fit with the then-established dealer network here rather than set up new Lancia dealerships (planned to be at selected Fiat / Alfa sites). Should never have happened - but worse was done in reverse in Europe when the Chrysler Sebring & 300C tanks became the Lancia Flavia & Thema respectively & the Voyager bus had Lancia badges stuck on it. Vincenzo Lancia must have been turning in his grave! If you read the thread you'll see mine actually came from Guernsey and so I'm the 1st owner here in the UK. She'll be staying with me for some time yet, if not forever; as a lifelong Lancia fan (I'm lucky to have a mk1 Delta HF4WD as well) there is nothing I would replace her with.
