Fiat Panda 100HP (06-10) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
Last Updated: 12 December 2008
The Panda 100HP is the 'performance' model in the range, although with a 1.4-litre engine producing a modest 100bhp (as the name suggests) it's not particularly quick. However this Panda is all about driver enjoyment and fun, so although it may not rocket along in a straight line, it is immensely enjoyable to take down a country lane, while it can happily hold its own on the motorway. It looks the part too with a bespoke body kit, alloy wheels and rear spoiler on the tailgate. It's also great value, new or used, while fuel and insurance costs are low, making it a great choice for younger drivers who want something reasonably sporty.

Buying used

The Panda 100HP is the top of the range model, but not the most expensive - the Panda Cross costs more. However you shouldn't have any problems tracking one down. It's not the sort of car that will get abused, but avoid any with modifications or that have been thrashed.

Selling

Small nippy Fiats have always been well liked by used buyers, as too has the Panda, and the extra appeal of the 100HP will ensure that it is easy to sell, especially to younger buyers.
