ben Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 At the moment, this is going out to our Ypsilon members @@zenwoman and @@Marshmellow, but anyone else is free to join in. So how is your ownership going? Anything potential purchasers should look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marshmellow Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi Ben, only had mine a few weeks, but loving it so far. It's cute to look at and good to drive, the gears are really easy - it should be great for my daughter when she starts driving in the summer. I love that people ask me what it is as I've not seen another one locally, which suits me fine as I love to be different! Hope @@zenwoman is having a positive experience with her Ypsilon too.

0 ben Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Wow - you'll trust your daughter with a brand new car! My dad only let me learn to drive in his as it was nearly dead.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Marshmellow Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Not quite that silly, it's a 61 reg (Nov 11) so not new, and she's very sensible, she'll probably pootle around the countryside very safely whilst mum try's to be a 'boy racer' (not easy in a 1.2l but I can try!) ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ben Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Haha, they seem quite small though, so I'm sure you can get a bit of a pickup in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kmpisces Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 It does sound like a neat car. I have not seen any here at all. I hope someone else has some feedback on them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MikeyRules Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I hired one for two weeks in Florence for my wedding/honeymoon and thought it was a great little car. (Y) We did about 1000 miles in it including a drive over to the island of Elba and it did us proud. We were 3 up with suitcases and the split rear seats really helped with the extra luggage. Even on the island roads which were typically Italian (Very winding and steep) it held its own quite well. There is an amount of body roll, but when you get used to this you realise this is capable little car. My wife loved it, and we'll definitely look at one when her ageing Alfa comes to the end of its life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MikeyRules Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yeah I always ask for Italian cars when in Italy (2/3 times a year) which usually pleases them when someone asks for a car from their country. A little trick I learned a long time ago, as you generally get a free upgrade! I've had Alfa's, Lancia's and Fiats mostly. The 1.3 diesel Ypsilon seems to best all rounder especially on the hilly roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Y10Turbo Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi All, ad mine for 3yrs now and it's just covered 30K miles trouble free. It goes like a rocket and returns Mega MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 talktocolin Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi All, ad mine for 3yrs now and it's just covered 30K miles trouble free. It goes like a rocket and returns Mega MPG. Looking to get an idea of real world mpg. Mega sounds good ;-) what are you averaging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how is your ownership going? Anything potential purchasers should look out for?
