General 2nd panda search over

[Pugglt Auld Jock]

175/65x14 is the largest size that will go in the well. I biught a wheel ET35 recently for £20. Jack kit is slightly harder to come by.

Thanks, useful info. Are we talking Panda or Ignis though?

Ah brain was off Im - of course - talking Panda. I think the spare wheel is an Ignis factory option though (expensive one) so Im sure a wheel could fit there in an Ignis. I was very clsoe to buying an Ignis last time. I got back in my TA however, after a test drive. and thought I cluldnt put up with the lack of power so Noop was born.

I'm slightly less keen on the Ignis now I know they're being discontinued and finding out that both injectors introduce fuel into the cylinder directly. I'd been hoping one was a "valve cleaning" measure - but this is going to be a common story I suppose as manufacturers try to comply with the rules regarding volumes of EVs sold and the penalties for selling too many IC engined vehicles. I probably ought to go and have a good crawl round one though as there are many aspects to it which appeal.

Those pictures have "re-enthused" me! thanks for posting them. What tyre size is the Ignis on? looks marginally more skinny than the Panda? Another thing which would interest me is how likely the Ignis wheels are to suffer kerb damage? Mrs J has marmalized the poor Panda's wheel trims. Do the metal spokes and rims of the wheels on the Ignis stick out beyond the tyre sidewall?

I think that blue suits the car very well. Is it a metallic? I've been watching you tube reviews which are generally very complimentary but some mention that the suspension is quite harsh compared to the Panda (a few of the reviews have contrasted the car with the Panda) in particular they've mentioned that being in the rear seats over rough road surfaces is not very comfortable because the suspension is quite hard. How have you found it?

I really quite envy you, nice looking car.

175x65x15 the wheel trims are quite flush, I try to avoid alloys as trims are much easier to replace if the missus mullers them.
It's shiny but not sure if metallic, did about 40 miles round some of norfolks A, B and C roads today and it was nice and smooth on all, better than the panda.
Not had any rear seat passengers to comment on the comfort in the rear, but front is good and rarely have rear seat passengers except for short journeys.
I would have liked one in the lighter blue like the panda but this one was so unmarked and excellent history, drove lovely etc it was hard to pass.
Maybe you need a test drive it was my first and it swayed me into buying this one.
Got P31 POP (POPs my nickname) on the panda and can't decide on the ignis stuck betweentwo
P31 POP
P31 OOP
P31 BOP
The poops only 1 letter out but bop is slightly nicer. I'm torn over which to get. Our Abarth was KAK on the letters, think I'm going to get the black and white insulation tape out tomorrow and try them on the panda.
I'm swaying slightly on the poop side at the minute!!!!!
