Fiat Panda 45 CL 3d (1986/C) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I bought it nearly new 15 years ago and it was money well spent.
Costs
Cheap parts and uses no petrol. Costliest thing has been rust.
-
On the road
Driving
You have to really drive it, but I like that. Light, so scary in high winds.
Performance
Clearly no serious threat to a Ferrari, but it really pulls away. Turns on a sixpence, parks in a matchbox!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Generally good, apart from cold starting. Hitting it and swearing helps.
Image
If your self-esteem depends on your car, get therapy! Drive it to Italy and feel loved. Inverted chic rating high.
Comfort
Fine for around town. Touring can be done if you're small and pack light.

Security and Service
Security
Broken into easily countless times (why?) but I live in a high risk area.
