2000 Lancia Lybra LX 2.0 20V from Netherlands

Summary:

Nicely designed, elegant and sporty Italian sedan

Faults:

No problems with the car yet.

General Comments:

Nicely designed Italian car with a very high comfort standard. It is however not the most economic car around, so think carefully about that before buying. But the overall driving experience is in my opinion really good. It has good feel, and the engine gives you loads of power and torque if you want/need it.

1999 Lancia Lybra Sport Wagon LX 1.9 Jtd from Poland

Summary:

Comfortable, underrated Italian car

Faults:

I bought this car few days ago so I will be updating this thread. This car was bought used in Germany and was regularly serviced in Fiat-Lancia.

General Comments:

1.9 JTD engine has quite reasonable performance with acceptable fuel consumption, below 2300 rpm is just a normal diesel, but above this is really nice to drive it.

This version I have is the LX and includes Lancia I.C.S radio with navigation system, Bose sound system with 7 speakers, CD Player for 6 CD, s, GSM phone, Alcantara seats in beige color (quite easy to get dirty), steering wheel with satellite controls for Radio and CD, special alloy wheels, air conditioning with two separate zones and electronic control, full electrical mirrors, four airbags, four - one touch - electrical windows, check-panel showing eventual problems in the lights and the level of liquids and a superb and smooth night illumination inside the cabin. It's also fitted with ABS and EDB, four disc brakes, pyrotechnical seat belts, three point central seatbelt, protective pads inside the doors, immobilizer, remote key for the doors and boot etc.

For the price is definitely a good business.

Update:

This car suffered some repairs such as a new air-mass meter, two front struts (failed in MOT), and replacement of the digital panel for the air conditioner.

The digital panel was replaced by myself and bought in an Internet auction - price 20 Euro.

After the replacement of the air-mass meter the engine regain live and is quite good for only 105 bhp.

Lybras are OK, but suffer from enervating details that spoil the rest.

2001 Lancia Lybra SW LX 2.4jtd from Netherlands

Summary:

Great, lots of style and very Italian

Faults:

The only thing really happened was the air/fuel ratio computer. The engine started to drop dead if you wanted to accelerate. My garage repaired and the car drives like a new boosted one, super!

General Comments:

The car has a lot of style and is comfortable. I have the blue alcantara lx model.

Car has everything you want, navigation, GSM, climate control.

Family likes it very much.

It is a very fast car, the engine is very powerful and has lots of torque.

2001 Lancia Lybra 1.6 petrol from Jordan

Summary:

This car is reliable, solid, and comfortable

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

Solid build and feel.

Superb styling and looks.

Good driver comfort and well being.

Performance of my 1.6 Petrol Engine is poor on hill climbs. Torque and power seem to kick in at above 4000 rpm.

So performance is excellent if you feel like revving. Otherwise, if you feel like cruising on winding roads you should expect to shift down a lot.

Thank you for your review. Could you make an update? I am about to purchase the same model from the same year and don't know what to expect. What is the fuel economy after two years of driving? Thanks a lot.

Hi. Do you know the differences between Lybra Intensa and "normal" Lybra? Is it just stronger engine, 16" wheels or there were some improvements in the car, like new materials in the cockpit, suspension, and so on?

Thanks in advance, Igor from Croatia.
