After just over a week and 300 miles of Panda ownership I'd like to share my experience
Mine is a 2010 59reg 1.1 eco active.
I LOVE it! To drive it is very like my old cinqucento I had a couple of years ago. I think nicer than my now dead 52 plate punto elx.
Plus points first..I love the simplicity of it. The visibility is better than my punto. The high driving position is excellent. The ride quality is better. The mpg is excellent. It's so nippy from 0-50mph. The position of the gear leaver is superb..the side mirrors are perfect..the driving position is excellent..the interior is perfect..(for my taste) IE basic
Now the negative..
Not as many storage places as the mk2 punto. Seat isn't adjustable for height..(on my model.)..no internal boot release..no rev counter..non locking fuel cap..now I'm just getting picky
Overall I'm very happy with my new Panda. Fiats are addictive. But I wanted one and didn't really like the newer punto. So been looking for a Panda for ages. When this one came up I had to buy it..just felt like right I'm loving it so far.
I'd love to hear other people's thoughts etc on the Panda. Give your + - points
