I've had the Panda over two weeks now, and so far it's been good. However, nothing's perfect, and if I were on the Panda design team, here's what I would have wished for...
Washer fluid bottle - Not only does this have a very small filler tube, but it's also awkward to get to. You wouldn't want to pour water out of a 10 litre bucket into there. (The Multijet has the washer filler in a different location to petrol models)
Boot handle. Why is there a stupid little strap to close the boot with? It's rubbish! Surely it would have been cheaper to mould a handle into the boot lining?
Interior lights. I love the way then when you remove the ignition key, the light comes on. Except it comes on for about 5 seconds. My Primera's light was on for much longer than this, and I preferred it.
Towing eye covers. Every Panda I've seen has had the towing eye covers protruding, and generally looking like a rubbish fit.
Fuel filler. Remove the fuel cap and put the nozzle in. Except it only goes in a few inches. If you're not careful, you end up with fuel overflowing.
Trip computer. The trip MPG and range seem to vary quite a lot, rather than gradually changing their values.
Those are what I've found so far. Has anyone else got any other niggles?
