I had some time to waste yesterday, so had a snoop round the local Fiat dealer. They had a little 4x4 on their forecourt which took my interest as this was the first time I have ever seen one

Managed to blag a test drive, which really confused the salesguy as he saw me get out of my Coupe turbo. Probably didn't expect me to make a bee line for the panda!
I was really surprised with the little car. I can't remember the last time I drove a small engined car and actually enjoyed the experience. No, don't think there ever was a last time!

I was probably only tootling around at about 30-40mph, but it was just such a delightful car to drive. Everything was easy to reach and the seats were comfy and easy to sort out a good driving position. Even the ride was good - something I've never complimented a Fiat for in the past.

Liked it so much that I asked them to order me one Even bigger shock is that Fiat have no stock in the country until next Jan/Feb

Overall, an amazing capable little car. Fiat have a winner on their hands

that wait is pretty normal for a new fiat now, what colour did you go for?

It was a toss up between the sparkling blue metallic and sprint blue. Which ever they get first.

Fiat seem to change their colour names every week, so sorry if I'm out of date with my colour chart

Decided I'd get bored waiting til Jan for a new one to arrive, so I've just bought an ex demo one in cocktail blue

When do you pick it up?

Congrats! Are you part-exing the Coupe?

No the Coupe is staying. I'd never let her go, I'd be in tears

I've given up use of a company car after switching job roles, so the Panda will become my new workhorse on the daily commute

Picking up next week sometime. Can't wait.

get some pics up when u get it! xxx

Congrats
I bought mine as an ex-demo because I couldn't wait the 4-5 months.
Had it 5 months. Done 9,000 miles. Love it to bits
