Week in Sicily. Panda heaven and more mk1s than you can shake a stick at. Especially in the remote mountainous villages. My rental ride was an Ypsilon 1.2. (Panda based) Cracking drive nice seats. And I'm not dead from the nut job driving standards, which is a bonus.
 
Been back to Kefalonia again this year and the ratio of 2012+ Pandas has gone from one in three cars to one in two!
They are either red or white.

Of course most are rentals, there are even some 2003+ still on hire.

After three days of saying to the misses, "there's you" and "there's me" we both got fed up! (though I think the misses got fed up after 20 mintues)

Even though the Panda ratio is so high, I've yet to hire one, even after repeatedly selecting my rental based on the group depicted with a picture of a Panda!
I keep getting Hyundai's or Datsun Micras :cry:

Yes - there are any number of Mk1 and 2 Pandas here in Umbria - a very high proportion of them 4x4s. Our neighbour has a Mk2 as a modern-day mule for helping with forestry and other agricultural work and a late Mk3 Cross for best.

I go to Menorca each year where I always get a Panda. I deal direct with a small hire company and ask specifically for a Panda but have yet to get the latest model. The panda is ideal for negotiating some of the narrow lanes on the island.
