hi folks, we bought a new panda cross in December 2019,our last 4x4 panda was a 65 plate, there have been quite a few modifications to the new model, some of my observations as follows, the drivers seat does not go back as far as it used to in the 65 plate, the heater, vents, climate controls are now push button rocker style switches, (keep prodding until desired setting), the four wheel drive selector knob near the hand brake is too bright, in fact all the illuminated switches are too bright and reflect on the passenger side window at night, the in car stereo system supplied (dab radio), cannot be replaced with a desired cd radio system due to the car`s computer being routed through the stereo, and a flat bottom steering wheel has also been supplied, the gear lever shape has been altered and the leather covering and longer gear knob is quite uncomfortable for drivers with larger hands, the car has got one usb port, ( paper insert states two in the owners manual), this usb is supposed to accept music from a usb pen, so far i have not been able to find a compatible pen that works with the cars system, has anybody got any comments on their own findings with the new panda modifications, only two real faults found so far in a thousand miles cf motoring, crawling in heavy traffic a very strong smell of burning clutch, and on a couple of occasions, car stalled for no reason, both checked out at dealership, computer diagnostics no fault found
