hasnt everything been galvanised since the Mk1 Punto/Cinquecento era
Now that the new Panda has been around a year or two, has anyone noticed where they are starting to rust?
Where do I put the Waxoyl on a new one?
Auto Express pulled apart a 60, 000 mile Active recently. Don't think I have a hope in hell of finding that issue but it was fairly recent.
It was before the 1,000 issue I think. Good to see I'm not the only reader (subscriber).

In the case of my wife's 2005 1.2 Panda Team virtually every body panel bar the bonnet and roof is going rusty. I will try to post some photos of the damage but it is very worrying. I had an old Panda 20 years without any problems so I don't think quality control on the new Panda's is what it should be.

yup fiats have been given the galvanise treatment since '94 so you should not see rust for about twenty years if the car lasts that long !
galvanisation doesn't mean it will be rust free, just that the rusting process is slowed to a snails pace and probably then only surface rust.
