Hi all , thought I would get around to post at last .... Had the Panda for few months now having part exd our 500s for one . So far the Panda has bin superb think the twin air is brill got good mix of power and economy if you take it easy he he . This was originally bought as a second car as I normally drive a Peugeot RCZ for work etc but in the end I feel as I only have a short drive to work and is such a good all rounder I have bin using this most of the time ! So good for speed bumps that's about the heighest it's bin so far he he Obviously can't compare to the RCZ but build quality to the 500 is pretty good I think... Personally I would prefer a bit more support in the seats as compared to the 500 and I would say probably the dash finnish and surrounding area's are bit more substantial but on the whole not far off ..... But overall think the Panda really is superb for what it is ... Thing is now I am tempted to change for the Cross as already booked to see my dealer September when they are due their demo .....

So, the big unanswered question is...
Penguin or no penguin?
Penguin or no penguin?
Ha Ha o sorry forgot about the poor old penguins ..... Well dare I say they were taken away and the dealer assures me they were given a good home ...... Also I had the door mirrors painted white to match the rest of the car .... But think it's suits the car better now for me personally . ....

I'm with you on that one - I'd be tempted to do the same. The black & white theme is more ... er ... panda-like

I just couldn't live with my penguins either and had them fed to a leopard seal, but I like the orange mirror covers and the rest of the orange trim, makes the car stand out without looking to crass or like a mini Nissan Kumquat which all seem to be white with black roofs.
I've even found some orange dust caps for the tyre valves!
Not all penguins get binned, all the other Antartica's I've seen on the road had them, one on the A2 Kent and one parked up on the sea front at Aberystwyth looking funky in the sunshine.

Ah, now you've made me all misty-eyed for my Alma Mater!
But sunshine in Aber? There's a novelty!
