Yeah I just had a read of the article. Another glowing report.

A red 2008 and a white 2010 one park near me in Edinburgh and there is definately something about them.

I was looking at buying a 2nd hand electro clash grey one in 2008, I got a swift instead. Looking back if the Fiat dealer hadn't been an idiot I may well have had one, however their preferred test drive route was entirely 30 zones, 20 zones and speed bumps. Which left me with the impression of "it's a panda...with no springs" and I ended up going elsewhere.

I'm glad I own one then Don't have any intention of selling up soon!

Yep... keeping mine thanks very much.

I'm waiting for them to bottom out so I can transplant the 100hp engine into a proper Panda.

Is it not a lot simpler to borrow it from a 2b punto sporting with them being a bit more common and older? You would lose 5bhp off the starting figure I suppose but the same engine in principal.

Indeed, or the Stilo.

I used this article to convince my wife to keep her one - I've said I would gladly use it as my daily driver and she can use my very boring company Passat! Already started buying things for her, new mats, stereo, bumper protector. Also got her booked in for a cambelt and service next week.

Prices have already bottomed out for the non-written off ones, that was about two years ago when they hit 2k, very much on the rise now

Really? That seems surprising for such a young car.

A young but not overly popular car.......
