1983 Lancia Beta HPE Volumex Executive review from Netherlands
"Very comfortable and fast car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump (70000 km).
Some small electrical problems.
Main problem was rust.
General comments?
Great car, runs very fast, excellent road holding. You can drive 60km/h in 5th gear, fully press the accelerator and the car goes like the wind.
Engine is very strong, but always check the oil level of the compressor.
Fuel consumption is a bit high. (when you're having fun).
The seats are not very comfortable when you're driving long distances.
