Posts: 395 Thanks: 57 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 2013 Panda 4X4 TwinAir Be interested to hear what you thing it's like on summer tires. Nothing to do with this post but I've done over 1000 miles now (a contrast to a few months before getting the panda when I was doing that in nearly a week) and at 950 miles the engine did seem to come alive. Just pulling and revving from under 2000rpm and delivering the power more constantly. I don't think this is me wanting to feel a difference, I was actually thinking oh, the engine seems very good to day, looked at the mileage and it was on 950miles (give or take 5 miles). I do hope it still gets better as you seem to report deeyup.

![]() | Re: 2013 Panda 4X4 TwinAir The alloys are the same pattern as the standard wheels, but they are darker coloured and have polished spokes and rims. I'll take a comparison pic tomorrow. The twin airs do get better with a few miles on. I think it's an awesome motor.

![]() | Re: 2013 Panda 4X4 TwinAir Great news John. Bet you can't wait! I agree with both of you philboo and homeward. Not my cup of tea either. Looks well over wheeled! I was just curious to see how they looked before I throw them on eBay.

![]() | Re: 2013 Panda 4X4 TwinAir ![]() As for the tyres, I'm finding the car wanders slightly less on the motorway, and I think that the ride is a little more comfortable. Economy is better by around 5% according to daily trip mpg's. I've slipped of late doing proper Fuelly records as I've been filling my car from containers on the drive with petrol bought with the tesco 10p off a litre vouchers. Not been in any extreme braking incidents so can't comment on that.

Posts: 395 Thanks: 57 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: 2013 Panda 4X4 TwinAir The differences in the wheels are the standard wheels are gloss finish grey all over, and the accessory wheels are a satin darker grey with a diamond turned spokes and rim ![]() As for the tyres, I'm finding the car wanders slightly less on the motorway, and I think that the ride is a little more comfortable.

I think when we had hot weather last week the handling on my usual country roads was drifting slightly more than usual.
