As to your second question: I often use my 4x4 on motorways

Normal 2WD Panda is more than adequate on the motorway

I drive just under 90 miles a day at 75/80 mph and runs and performs really well

I regularly do a 230 mile trip from Peterborough to Swansea - and another 230 miles back. I can do a single journey without stopping and without feeling particularly uncomfortable - which goes to show what a competent little car the Panda really is.

Er, what's wrong with the headlights? They seem pretty powerful to me. Living in the countryside, nearly all of my driving needs good lighting and I seem to have that. Adding the wee floody foggy lights when in the the gloomy backroads helps enormously. The weedy DRLs, on the other hand, could do with an upgrade, but that seems to cost around £30 pounds per side. I'm puzzled why they would be priced per side, as who would only upgrade one side?

Putting led bulbs into the drl's makes a big difference....not expensive either....

I'm surprised how Fiat have bucked the trend of fitting super bright white leds to their drl's. When you have cars like the DS3 with a blinding fairy light set up it almost makes the panda's useless. They just look like sidelights really. If drl's are for being more visible, then surely the brighter the better?

Penny pinching.....

I actually like the drl on the Panda. I think it looks nice and simple and not fussy like those fairy lights on the DS3 etc.

Agree. But they are a bit weedy with the std bulbs....

Must admit based on the forum I've already got some LED DLR replacements sorted and some upgraded bulbs before my new car's even arrived!
