Lancia is as good as dead, with effect from 2015, the Delta and Theme is not available anymore in the Netherlands. Of the Delta, was still a real Lancia, since 2008, best what exmemplaren sold, time for a look at the second hand market.

In 2011, the Delta has undergone a facelift, with the family ties with Chrysler known were made through the grille. The Delta was built on a 10 inch extended Fiat Bravo chassis, making it one of the most spacious cars in its class. Lancia wanted the Delta position opposite established names such as the Audi A3 and BMW 1-series and distinguish themselves by luxury and comfort.

Issues

• Lancia will disappear from the market for new cars. That will ensure that fewer and fewer people know our brand. Unknown makes unloved, unloved, meaning less residual value. Be aware of this if you for a Lancia go shopping.
• If you go looking for parts or information on the web, look for certainly a while for the “Chrysler Delta” as in, for example, the United Kingdom was the Delta, with a Chryslerbadge sold.
• The interior is luxurious, but not all are equally nicely finished. Italian “character”.
• Cars that are a lot of short pieces to be used may be contaminated swirlflaps have. If you use the car only for short trips, keep in mind that you do this every 50,000 km let cleaning.
• The front suspension is prone: to cracking knuckles. Count on that this is a recurring illnesses is each time a bill of a few hundred euros to it to solve.
• The rain sensor is quite enthusiastic. Optionally, you may disable this feature through a plug behind your rear view mirror loose, to pull up, but then works automatically dimming interior mirror and light sensor is also not more.
• Sunroofs are quite windgevoelig, in particular from 130 kilometers per hour would be a bit of wind noise audible.
• The Navteq navigation software is prone to faults, and map updates are pricey.
• The fuel supply is sometimes closed if you are hard a curb or something similar hits. That is a veiligheidsfeature to reset by instructions in the manual.
• Keep the oil good in the holes: the maintenance interval is low so it may be that a car a long time with little oil after it has been driven. Also, keep in mind that the oil dipstick is not always a nice read.
• Equally good cleaning before you go gauge.
• The engines are largely shared with the Giulietta, of which car, we know that the MultiAir unit is still broken.
