Fiat Panda Bianca 3d (87) (1987/D) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Mine cost £250 (university transport) and the only thing that broke in 12 months was £11 worth of clutch cable. Completley disposable, and easily the best value car I have ever owned.
Costs
Cheap, cheap, cheap.

On the road
Driving
Stick some Uno Turbo wheels on and you have a mini Ferrari. Loves to be driven hard and can be made to go suprisingly quick if required.
Performance
Very sprightly. Only 45bhp, but only 700kgs so shows a clean pair of heels to most heavy modern safety orientated superminis.

Living with it
Reliability
F.I.R.E engines tend to be ok up to about 100k, after that they are not too good.

Full length sunroof with Uno wheels on a summer's day, what do you expect for the money!
Comfort
Crashy and loud but seats are ok. Basically, fine around town, steer clear of motorways!

Security and Service
Security
Bianca model has vinyl roof and you don't need a key to get in! However who on earth wants to steel a Panda!?
Service
Fiat dealers are shocking in a word.
