I was thinking about this on the long drive home.
There are lots of cars I like the look of but rejected at the point I purchased the Panda, as they just didn't meet all my needs. So next time, if work/home locations remain the same, I've got the same issues.
I live right in the city so need easy parking. Also do a lot of commuting on A roads 50-60mph, long drives so need something economical and comfy but also good to drive. Also want something cute/different or sporty. So Panda was the nearest fit.
Only things I can think of for next time are 500 (same reasons as Panda), 100HP for a bit of extra speed - interested to see what the new Uno looks like. Also would consider new Ford Ka if its not hideous.
If I decide to move away from smaller city type cars, I'd like a 1 series BMW or Alfa 147 (which will probably break). Other than that, nothing floats my boat.
Trouble is, I am ADORING the Panda so much at the moment, I would sort of like to keep that as well. Better get saving!!!!
