Panda 2012+ Chichi, the Angry Panda

Introduction

Took delivery this afternoon. She's a Twinair Cross in Tuscany Green with winter & comfort packs, reversing sensors and rear privacy glass.

Had sill kick plates, matts, boot liner & the Panda B pillar badges fitted by the dealer.

She replaces my beloved 500 Twinair Plus which is going to a good friend (the best pound for pound car I've ever owned - I'll really miss it)

Early impressions are very solid & grown up. Nice controls, great driving position and a good drive. Quieter than I was expecting too, especially given the reviews & the semi-serious rubber.

Bring on the snow!

Here are some pics:-

I'll keep you posted :)

Cheers,
You've been very quiet on the 595 front - any updates?



Not really. 2100 miles since 4th September, loving it.

It’s got humongous grin factor yet works on a daily basis. Any fears ref ride & comfort have been dispelled. Ok, it’s firm but the latest Koni / Eibach setup is well damped & controlled.

The only recurring issue I’ve had (along with other owners) is the 7” Nav screen randomly going black.

There’s a software fix for that apparently, something to do with the temperature sensor. I’ll leave it until service.

She’s a cover girl now, too.
