Help. Nuovo Lancia Y Espagna

[trasgugrao]

Hello dear italian lancia friends.

Please excuse me for writing in english but I can´t do it in italian.
I´m a spanish girl interested in buying a new Lancia Y (Platino 1.4 16V. 97 C.V) but I have some doubts.
Practically you are not able to see any in spanish roads at the moment (unfortunatelly lancia is not yet a best seller here in Spain).
Please help me to decide... How is the 1.4 16v. engine ??. According to your experience, as in Italy is a very used model, have you got problems with it ??.
What do you think about the central panel of instruments, don't you think it seems of less quality than the rest of the car ??. In resume please if someone has already got this car I would like to know your impressions. You will be very helpful in order to take a decission.

Excuse me again for using english but this is the unique lancia Y forum I have found in the internet and I need some help.

Thank you very much. Grazie.
I´m awaiting for your answers

the 1.4 16 v engine is a good unit with a couple of around 13 Kgm at 4500 rpm and a power of 95 Cv at 5800 rpm.
Is derived from "fire family" and particularly from 1.2 16v version.
The performances are good in relation to the weight of the car (980Kg) and show themselves as an acceleration 0 to 100 km/h in less than11 s, and an good agility in the caotic traffic.
The car burns not few gasoline: you are around 10 km for a litre of gasoline!
I drove it and other's like it, where i work and is a handy and comfortable car, designed and projected very well.
The central position of the instruments is, perhaps, censurable!!!!(you must leave the horizon for look the instruments) but this is a personal opinion.
Everything but this particular,is optimized for a satisfactional guide except the consuption!!!!
In Italy is not verY diffused for the convenience of the 1.3 jtd engine (22 Km/l); howewer is a model with few problems of mechanical kind.
Bye bye and come to visit Italy!!!
