last week i was brousing the wh smith magazine library.and came accross their car survey,the panda did pretty well.it actually came 41st i think out of 100,which does not sound very good but in the sub catergories it came i think 11th best for reliability.the other cats such as roadholding,ride quality it came much lower down which i would expect from a small car like this as it is never goung to match bigger cars on handling,road noise,ride quality etc.it came out by far the best fiat in the survey.
