All new Panda enthusiasts should know what Jeremy Clarkson wrote and my ego is bursting with pride after reading his comments. I knew Panda was quick and fun, but to hear it from someone who looks down on Gallardo, says BMW 1 is crap etc. is very ego-boosting. This one is about 1.2 or basically it could be also about 1.1 cause they are basically same, I drove both and the performance felt the same.
Here goes what Jeremy wrote in his book Don't Stop Me Now about Panda, among other things:
"However I don't want you to be put off by the lack of performance, because, being Italian, it never feels underpowered or lethargic. In fact, I have to say it feels like the fastest car I've ever driven.
... I couldn't believe how much fun the Fiat was. Panda? Grizzly more like.
... there's a huge amount of feedback from the road. It doesn't whisper or mumble; it shouts at you through a megaphone. I've driven sports car that are less communicative.
... put simply, I loved it. When it was here, I drove nothing else. The Mercedes SL, the Volvo XC90, all the other test cars , all the other test cars they all just sat on the drive as I bombed hither and thither in my new best friend. "
