Hi all.
I was poised to buy a Panda Dynamic today while the scrappage is still on. But when I visited the showroom, I was massively disappointed..
My neighbour has a Panda in black, it's an 09 model and the front grille looks much sexier than the venetian blind effect of this year's 'facelift'. I've noticed that the old style grills can still be purchased for a score or so but the dealer couldn't tell me if I could simply swap them over.
A bigger disappointment was the console inside the car. My 15 year old Rover 214Si has nice spongy plastic with walnut trim. And a standard din hole for the CD. The console on the Panda is HORRIBLE rigid battleship grey plastic and the CD player, being all built-in, is not swappable. Bum! I'm also not sure whether the subwoofer option also includes the door-handle tweeters being installed as they're not loaded as standard.
And is there a £90- steering wheel controls option? I've seen it elsewhere but the dealer told me I'd have to get the full Bluetooth package.
Regarding folding seats.. Do they fold flat as standard? -If I wanted to load a washing machine would I require the slidey back seats?
I'll probably still get one as they are so cheap with scrappage and my Rover may be a luxurious ride and quite pokey but is probably ready for landfill or whatever.
Any help in clearing-up the above would be appreciated.
Thanks
