Can someone direct me to or post a picture of the ska azure blue panda? The colours on the Fiat site are terrible in their accuracy. I've came into a bit of money so i'm probably going to get a Panda Dynamic (Skydome of course ) and my shortlist of colours is this and the 'easy listening green' cheers

forget the blue, the green looks really stunning on the panda, honest, Ive seen a few and they look amazing. I guess your talking about the pale metallic blue, its OK but a bit samey, lots of cars are a similar colour and it kinda looks a bit feminine...

There are a few 'Ska Azure' on the used car search of the FIAT website, but this is a better picture::

side by side with red........

yeah the green looks much better, the blue is too dull in those pics, nothing like the ones on the fiat site!

you know it makes sense, mine was the yellow and when I first saw the green I was so dissapointed that I didnt buy it in that colour... its truly amazing and so gorgeous. Dont have a blue interior though, saw one in Portsmouth and it was foul with the green!

you can only have the yellow i think, is that nice? so looking forward to using the skydome :yum: You reckon i should get air con with it, is climate control worth the extra 200 over aircon?

Shouldn't buy a car without at least air con nowadays especially if you ever want to sell it. Air con nowadays is inexpensive to run, no less reliable than any other part of the car and useful in winter as well as summer as it stops fogging and that general damp feeling.

Personally, I think climate is worth every penny but I've had it on other cars so know what I'd be missing, set the temperature, press auto and never touch it again against continued juggling of the controls and lurching from too hot to too cold, slight exaggeration but you get the idea.

Re the colours, that blue is one of those love it or hate it metallics that looks like it's faded in the wash, all down to what you like. If your local dealer hasn't got one they should at least have the painted panels so you can get the idea.

I had an eleganza, the climate was fantastic, it also looks better as the controls are just lovely! The skydome is brilliant and to be honest Id rather have that over aircon or climate as it lifts the interior. The yellow interior looks fab and really goes well with the whole car. I always found the climate to slightly reduce the Pandas performance, enough to make me turn it off and open the skydome, also fuel economy did suffer, never on the computer but definately around 2mpg or 3 less.

Opening the roof or windows will affect it far more.

is there much difference between the eleganza and the dynamic? Doesn't seem like there is much extra for the money on the eleganza or am i missing something?
I read somewhere the eleganza looks better too, is that just because of the alloys or are there other cosmetic differences? :chin:

originally was all the bits that you had to pay extra for on various dynamic models that were thrown in, alloys, fogs, climate control, heated wing electric mirrors, height adjust seat etc etc, i think though the gap has now closed a little.

any good pics of the grey panda about?

you seen the new orange... wow!

what orange?

nice

Don't mean to be rude but have you actually been to a dealers as you seem to have a lot of queries that would be answered in a couple of minutes by them. Even if they don't have a car in exactly the colour you want they have paint samples, even the brochure has the full colour range including the orange.

I wanted a Dynamic with Dualogic, but because the Dualogic included some other obligatory options I would have ended up paying almost the price of an Eleganza. The Eleganza has most of those options needed for the Dualogic, so I asked the dealer if he would give me a better discount if I were to get the Eleganza, which he agreed to.

And I do agree it looks better. A bit less plastic on the inside, especially the nicer head rests.

anyone know if this is salsa or rumba red?
