Hello Volvisti, We are looking for a new car for my wife (aka OHL). After many test drives and rolling through countless catalogs various manufacturers are now 2 candidates left. Basic requirements were: gasoline, automatic (minimum 5-speed), air conditioning, seat heating, etc. The 2 candidates are: – Lancia Delta 1.8 T-Jet (200hp) and 6-speed AT; quasi full equipment (platino incl. panoramic roof, parking automatic, etc.) – Volvo V50 2.4i with 5-speed AT; summum with a bisserl frills on top of that price are both at a level. The driving performance at Lancia is better, but that’s not decisive (in the V50 there would be also the T5…). Lancia says the belly; sometimes something new – and the car has convinced with the test drives. But the head says Volvo – drive only Volvo and am satisfied for years. My wife likes both cars equally well… If you could take the pink Volvo glasses (Danianiel would take them).
