This car drives better than new and better than many “new” cars. The driving dynamics are spectacular. The engine is eager and loves to be revved. Yet, it is not temperamental or difficult to drive in daily traffic. The steering, brakes, and handling are precise and confidence inspiring.

On August 15th of 2003, the car was awarded "Best Lancia" at the prestigious Concorso Italiano.
