cheers guys. I quite like to look of the Ypsilon, very stylish little car, my "girly" comment was basically just thowing the question out there to see who thought what
& yep your right, diesel is cheaper here than petrol, can be as much as 15c per litre difference!
Have been looking into importing a used Lancia for a while now, originally had been thinking bigger petrol Lybra or even K Coupe, but with the costs of fuel ever on the increase a small diesel could be the way to go!
I take it by having Girly looks you mean the latest shape, not really that bad, but that is the market it's aimed at in Europe, I still prefer the earlier shape. nothing girly about that, if you do go for a diesel have a drive and see what it pulls like at 1500 rpm, my Grande Punto with the 75BHP diesel was dire, and had the potential for leaving you sitting in the middle of the road with something bearing down on you, while waiting for the engine to get above 1500rpm, I know the 90bhp version is not the same, but I'm not sure which version is fitted to the latest Y's, once out of that range it was fine, pulled well and returned mid 50mpg, the 90 bhp version funnily enough is better on fuel than the 75bhp.
