Click to expand... similar there way better and better than the 1.2 panda also loads more grunt from low down like 1000 rpm and sound better they have 70hp now after all i think last of the pandas were 60 mk2s are 60 again grande engines were 65 as they had stronger ignition and different compresion but basically for the new 1.2 fiat fitted the 1.4 8v head onto the 1.2 unit with higher compression stronger ignition and the timing variator as said you really need to go try one to believe it they put a huge smile on my face first one i tried were as every mk2 i drive after driving my mk1 is just so much less gutsy it's unbelievable Last edited: Jun 15, 2008
