another review in the Express today.....I'll let some one else comment on that one
Yeah, I saw that too. Another road test and unfortunately another drubbing. Same in the latest What Car? where it comes second to a Micra, both cars getting two out of five stars.
The Delta also features in the same magazine against the Golf, new 1-Series and soon to be announced Civic. It comes last and apart from space it gets a torrid time finishing last.
The Delta let's remember has arrived years too late, it isn't that surprising it is not best in class anymore, but it is still a good car and should sell to people wanting a change to the norm, the Ypsilon however is brand new and should be better than it is. It has got some fine engines but is too small, not particularly well screwed together, odd looking both inside and out and quite expensive. Mate all these negatives with a Chrysler badge gives it very little chance against the class best.
The past two Ypsilons although quirky, had that chic factor about them in the way the latest Cinquecento has, this new one does not, it has tried to grow up and unfortunately is failing which is a sad affair. Hope it fares better in the rest of Europe.
Perhaps it was a good move by Fiat to test the water under a different name, just imagine trying relauch our great marque with a 3.5 year old model and a mediocre new supermini, Lancia would have been left well and truly in the UK with egg on its face.
