Hi all,

just registered because I now own a 2006 Panda Dynamic.
I bought the car because, for the money, it cannot be beaten in my opinion!

I was expecting a noisy, uncomfortable experience on the motorway but am pleasantly surprised that such a tiny car is quite bearable at high speeds

Fuel economy is so far, excellent

It's my 2nd Fiat, I had a Brava JTD years ago and I have also had two Alfa 156's so am used to Italian 'character'

Many thanks David

I wonder if I'll beat varesecrazy in welcoming you!

The Mk3 Panda (especially in 1.2 form) is amazingly composed on motorway journeys. Mrs h visits her family in London (about 80 miles away) at least once a month; and never finds the drive tiring or uncomfortable. They are amazing little cars... -- although I would add that the Mk4 (in TA form) is even better; and the Mk1 and Mk2 were even more fun...!

Hi homeward, thanks for the warm welcome
I would love a Mk1 one day, I weld for a living so a grotty one would be no problem. The closest I've ever got to an early car was when one nearly ran me over when I last visited Italy! The sheer numbers of Mk1/2 Pandas out there (usually in that pastel-green colour) is amazing, particularly in the rural areas
