Hi All,
Changed my Stilo 3 door JTD Dynamic today for a Panda 1.2 Dynamic, crossover black, nice slidey back seats.
1st impressions
When I arrived at the garage I was taken aback yet again by the size!!!
It's sooooooo small from the outside.
Anyhoo, drove back from Blackpool to Sunderland (Chorley FIAT, really good by the way)
It's a 1.2?
What is it really?
Totally taken aback by the smoothness, the total willingness to do 75mph all day, the lack, oh God, the heavenly lack of roadnoise!
I had no idea how noisy the Stilo was in this respect, and I loved the car, virtually fault free for 3 years of ownership.
I was dreading the body roll, it's way overstated, really nice to drive.
and finally, I agonised over petrol or Multijet, as by nature I'm mean.
My last 2 cars have been diesel, I'm so glad I went for the petrol.
It's surprising how you drive around turbo lag, weird not to have to.
Cracking car, even if I have picked up a nice stone chip already
Great forum by the way:slayer:
