Just been to the fiat dealer today and ordered the Panda 100hp that they had in the showroom. Am picking it up on 3/3/07 just after the 07 reg comes out.
Am trading in my 1.3M-Jet Panda for it.
 
I'm very close to putting in an order for one, pending a test drive.

Did you manage to beat the dealer down a bit? Also.. Did you get the free insurance for a year deal?

What options did you add (not that there is many...) I was going to add the side and window airbags, and not bother with the cd changer and subwoofer.

Does the boot look big enough to fit in a suitcase without folding down the rear seats?

Hehe so many questions!
 
Deals seem to be down to your dealer and your face. Some have managed no discount, some a bit, some a lot :) .

Bear in mind that most internet deals don't save you the money they say they do because they add their own charges on afterwards, £250 for delivery is a common one, or the price is only available with extorsionate finance.There are good ones out there but always read the Ts and Cs.

You'd get a medium suitcase in no trouble, I would've said.

Good stuff - guess you might be interested in a Panda 100HP national meet this summer?;)
 
Are you joining those of us in the grey brigade or is yours 'of colour'?

:D Grey is the new silver. Goes with the colour my hair is gradually turning to. Personally I would like to see some more white ones........in fact, at the moment I'd just like to see another 100HP on my local roads.:rolleyes: Come on Glasgow punters - get yourselves done to your local dealer.
 
How dare you, silver is chosen by those who have no imagine, grey is chosen by those who do have imagination but like understated classiness :)
 
I am a member of the white club!
Possibly the only one so far?
But I did see a white one for sale on the Auto Trader site.
 
Does that tell you something? :)

Has anyone seen another 100HP, of any colour, and not your local demonstrator, on the road yet?

Hey I'm with you on this one mate.;)

This is my second grey car - I like 'em. It's just that I've had 3 silver cars in a row and found that grey seemed to give smaller cars a bit of gravitas.

And despite unusually positive reviews from all the mags. They seem as rare as newborn panda cubs anywhere else but chinese zoos.

Guess we should keep it a secret amongst ourselves for a little while longer.

Let's get a bunch of them on the M6 sometime in the summer as a show of strength.:p
 
Mine is gonna be New Orleans Blue. It sits in the dealers showroom.
Cant wait to get it. Every day i pass it and see it sat there now when i pass it i think ur mine u little beast. Only 18 days to go. :D :D :D

Yes I've seen another Grey one knocking around Bath.

Waved at each other - just like the days of Yellow Chinky's :)
 
Mine's in now and have to admit I paid him a visit today and gave him a quick stroke.

The demonstrator at my local dealer is grey but I have seen a blue one flashing round the main road on our estate. Which is annoying as I wanted to be the first to get one round our way. My daughter says she has seen red one as well but she isn't the most reliable witness to be fair.
 
Here in Holland i've never seen one drive on the road so far.
Only at the Fiat-dealer.The demonstrator i drove was black.This dealer also had a red one that was allready sold by another customer.
The dealer were i bought my 100HP has a blue one in his showroom.It's a very nice colour.

And i've seen 2 grey ones at 2 different dealers.
 
Doing a bit of research just now for my website and I read that FIAT have targeted 550 UK sales of 100HPs this year, a meagre 6% of the total Panda sales (so that means something like 9,200 new Pandas will take to UK roads this year :D). So with (I think) 84 counties in the UK, that should be six-and-a-bit 100HPs per county by year's end. No wonder they are a bit thin on the ground at the moment. Mind you, 550; sure we can do better than that... ;)
