Panda 2012+ Panda Lounge 2016

[varesecrazy]

It's here!



Unfortunately has a cracked windscreen (manufacturing fault), makes a weird vibration noise when I change gear above 3000 revs, and the brake pedal (when released) makes a tinny noise (a bit like a brief pedal operated cymbal on a toy drumkit!) - but hey that's Fiat!

looks nice.!!

TBH , BUILD issues do tend to be the downfall,
once the few daft issues are resolved for free , then they are sound cars,

my TA has only needed ;
a door catch aligning - mechanically
and a dodgy bit of bumper paint - cosmetically,

the "diamond-cut" alloys were replaced under Warranty due to minor marks-( common)

I've got a little graze on the A pillar trim from dash install - but I only notice it periodically.

now 3 years old ,and covered 24K faultless miles.

and that's ITALIAN built. my Polish panda has been just as good over 11 years.

Great Panda, I also have a 2012 Lounge 1,2 with a Skydome, love it. Its rare here in Austria for a Panda to have a Skydome. I just had the alternator and batterie replace and 500Euros later its purring, which brings me to a question, did your lounge come with an under body, black plastic splash protectors and how are they fastened?

I have a 2016 Panda, the base model Pop. But even that has the hill-start assist and I've noticed a slight noise when releasing the brake pedal. I had presumed it was the hill-start mechanism, whish is mechanical (ish) and only last about 2 seconds.

Hill holder is silent. Its an ABS unit function. Its more likely just the pedal bush would like a little lubrication.
