I don't find the seat base too bad but the driving position takes a bit of adapting to, having had fulvias, 2000HF, prisma, Dedra turbo, Delta HF HPE etc. I am used to sitting quite low and long armed in an Italian car but found I need to sit a tad higher also the pedal layout is cranky I set the seat so that I can only just fully depress the clutch with tiptoe and find that fine ( the clutch disengages way before the end of travel anyway). Stuart's lhd 1.9 twin turbo doesn't seem to suffer so the pedals are a RHD thing.

That about covers it Mikey! Well said mate.  

Yeah, that maybe correct but i played Sega Rally and i played Gran Tuurismo 6, i'm 55 years old. Anyhow  for some reason in this country at least it stuck and Fiat have i'm sure (periodically) thought of bringing Lancia back but they have not felt that the could take the risk. The financing would be huge and sadly there is still no guarante the residuals would be any better which to be honest i think is correct. There was a Lancia dealer in up in my hone town in the 1980's i think, called Southbound garage. They definately sold the Lancia Y10. I distinctly remember a FILA ltd edition, after a year it was for sale at 50% the price of a new one.
This link is a piece from an American website, http://www.city-data.com/forum/europe/2133598-do-europeans-envy-american-51.html post 06-15-2014, 09:31 AM states that it's not really fair or practical to compare American cars with German cars, this being an Italian car similar applies for me. That is possibly in essence part of the problem. American cars are fantastic value for money, if you are prepared to put up with slightly inferior plastics used on the interior.
Take Skoda, as part of VW their prooducts lose money in an alarming fashion too.
I'm sick of the dealer who sold me my car,   they should not be allowed main dealer status!!!!!  but i love the name, it's part of the family and long may it remain!
If it were an Audi, Mercedes or a BMW i would be looking at an 08 or 09 car at best, it's not and it's better looking, as economical, spacious etc so it's a better buy for me. Oh, it's not a rep mobile like all of the muppets have at work! That makes it miles better for me!!!!!

Anyone checked these out.......my sky broadband is pooe
