I am considering buying a new Panda as a second car. It would be either a 1.2 a/c or a 1.3 multijet with a/c. It would only do about 5000 to 7000 miles each year. I tend to keep my cars for a long time (at least 5 years). Has anyone owned a new model Panda for a good length of time and can give me an idea of bodywork condition etc after a few years. The one thing that holds me back is my last experience with a Fiat. I bought a new Strada in 1982 and it only lasted 5 years and 40,000 miles before it rotted just about everywhere and had to be scrapped...it was literally a death trap (floor fell out etc). I need some feedback, either good or bad, as I would not wish to make a mistake again. My wife has a VW polo that is now 7 years old (first of the new shape) and replacements over this time have been 2 tyres and NOTHING else. Would a Panda last as well as this?
Thanks...Chris
