Bought my First Panda in 2006 brand new ran it for 7 years with very few issue, Bought a Suzuki Alto to replace, realised the error of my ways and went back to Panda this time a 15 plate
Ran this for 3.5 years and 32 000 miles on clock. Couple of wee minor issues but biggest pain was trying to do a hill start on a steep hill. Almost impossible to do and stalled it numerous times. Apart from that no issues
Looked to buy another Panda but thought prices were a bit steep and not a huge amount about. Plenty of Fiat 500 but did not fancy that
After much research decided on an 18 plate Vauxhall Viva, with 5000 miles on clock which I got for £6299. car is 9 months old
Initial thoughts are positive, certainly quicker from standing start than Panda, it is lighter, better equiped than Panda, and I only bought the base model. Remote central locking, heated mirrors(why), cruise control, bluetooth, split 60/40 rear seats with headrests
Fuel consumption is slightly better and insurance was slightly cheaper.
Oh and hill starts are not an issue.
Did like my wee Panda an one day may go back
Thanks for all the help and advice given by you guys over the years, hopefully there will be a friendly Vauxhall forum like this one:worship::worship::worship:
