Just bought a 11 reg white Panda 100hp with Pandamonium and glass roof. It replaced my 3 year old 500 1.4 Sport, so it's been an interesting comparison.
1. The Panda rides much better - kinda surprised me a little. The cornering is much better, not that the 500 was bad.
2. Turning circle.........now nothing's going to beat our Seicento, but it surprised me that, although still grim, the turning circle is still noticably better than the 500 1.4, which is atrocious (presumably they did that to accommodate Abarth tyres).
3. Small doors. Nice.
4. It's noticably perkier than the 500 - not used Sport mode yet as it's very feisty. And passing cars in a white Panda seems to shock people - the yellow 500 irritated them.
Finally though, the car was advertised (as many still are) with phone bluetooth and heated door mirrors. It has neither. Shame though.
