1990 Lancia Thema 16v Turbo SE review from UK and Ireland
"A fine balance of performance and comfort. Nice to have something different!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went at 125,000 miles.
Water radiator disintegrated at 140,000 miles.
Minor electrical problems.
General comments?
My second Thema Turbo and still going strong after 10 years of ownership. For a big car its great to drive and much faster than anyone expects.
Interior is well equipped and comfortable even compared to much more modern cars.
Expensive on insurance (group 17) and heavy on fuel depending on how you drive it. Also eats front tyres, brake pad and discs if used hard... but worth every penny.
Very underrated car and excellent value/performance for your money, but not worth much to sell unfortunately!
