Chrysler Delta review - CarBuyer

Full review: http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/chr...

The Delta is a five-door family hatchback similar in size to the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus. Originally released as a Lancia in Europe, the Delta is now sold by Chrysler in the UK making use of the already well-established dealer network. Parent company Fiat supply a range of engines for UK customers including two petrols and a two diesels. Our pick of the range is the 1.6-litre diesel engine as it offers low running costs and a torquey power delivery - it is very noisy though. The smaller 1.4-litre petrols can prove to be quite thirsty but are better suited to shorter journeys. All variants are spacious inside and come with air conditioning and six airbags as standard.

I know it doesnt stand for its name but I own one (under lancia badge), and trust me, in everyday city life, it is just as good as a golf, if not even better.

[Thomas McKonigal]

I prefer the chrysler delta to the Lancia because the chrysler's badge is nicer and makes the car look more modern:)

I love Lancia, but if Lancia don't have make a change, that company will desapear like Saab !

I've got a verison for the continent. I live in Swiss. Without all electronic safety systems, this car is astonoshing.

For the driving comfort, lower noise, excelent grip & roling control, very to block the front wheels without ABS.

The italian engineers hav making a very great work ! The result is lovely. For all the car I've in my life, this is the top !

I never feel so safe in a car like this before !

It makes me very sad to see that the legend, Delta Integrale, became this...

[qlwmf1902]

Hmm design is boring.....

lancia delta! italian beautiful

[fractitos]

its true they are more economical but the problem with diesels is not the CO2 but Nox that is far worse.( go to a room with Nox and that will be your last post)

[lambosuperl]

Diesels generally have more torque than petrols, and they ARE more economical.. Some race cars nowadays use diesel, and hybrids are getting it too. So no, diesels doesn't suck, its pretty much the future.

[fractitos]

in your dreams diesel is worst by far

Wish I could get this at my local Chrysler dealer but alas, I live in the States.
