Greetings all, just a thank you for being accepted onto this awesome site.
I live in Cape Town,South Africa,and sadly,the brand,although great,does not enjoy a great support base out here......However,having recently bought a 2008 Panda 1.1 Active,I have to say that the value for money is exceptional.During everyday stop/start driving,with the a/c running, I have yet to get less than 450 km from 30 litres of fuel!!!! This little car is an ideal runaround !!!

Sadly...spares and parts are very expensive...outer cv ,from FIAT....equivalent of £156......

Welkom!

Man that is harsh! The reason I have always bought Fiats is because parts are so much cheaper then most other brands, crazy it is the other way round for you!

Thanks Abarthian...yup,harsh indeed,but yet the reliability of the FIRE motor is unbelievable.
