The Independent have published a review of the new Lancia Delta 1.4 T-jet 150 five-door hatchback. 'The Delta has a short nose and a long body, thanks to a wheelbase 10cm longer than that of a Fiat Bravo on whose underpinnings the Delta is based. This gives a roomy rear cabin, the legroom is a trade-off with boot space according to where you position the rear seats. (Unfolding them calls for strong arms.)
There's a feel of past Lancias inside, the headlining a fine-chequer pattern like an old Y10's, with pale seats and inner door panels set against a dark dashboard, window sills and carpets. You can have it all in dark materials if you prefer, but a light leather option with contrasting piping not only gives the required luxury-car ambience, it also diverts the eye away from the Delta's less savoury details.'
