1996 Lancia Kappa LS review from Slovenia
"The best car for the money you pay for second hand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- thermostat was changed at 156000 km
- sensor for Air bag faulty at 215000km
- some small things, that you can fix by yourself.
General comments?
Great car, very reliable, comfortable, with a lot of space inside, luxurious but still cheap to service. It drives very well, it is well balanced, and also sporty kind of driving is it kind of driving. The basic 155 hp 2.0 engine is strong enough when rpm is higher than 4000. The engine sounds wonderful (5 cylinders). Ideal engine for this car is 2,4 , OK also 2.0 Turbo and 3.0 V6 is an extra class.
Now at 227000km the engine works perfectly and has no oil consumption. Still going strong.
