Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Although my Panda was the base model, I had fitted Reverse Park Sensors & remote central locking. I had to order the part for the drivers door from Fiat as my model was the only one that didn't have an actuator. Fiat Head Office was wonderful, unlike their dealers who are clueless. I had to buy a locking petrol cap from Fiat as the model didn't come with one as standard. You had to buy it from the Fiat Accessories Brochure. The rear parcel shelf is a one where it will lift up & stay up till you drop back down. There is no fittings so that it lifts up when you open the boot. All in all, I love the car, it is very cheap to run, insure, tax (£30 a year) & I have no plans to change it.

How reliable do you find the car?

It's been good, so far I like it and it has brilliant fuel economy.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I had a 1st generation Panda which I loved, every time it rained I could hear it rust. This one has surprised me, its comfortable, its nippy, the city button makes the steering a breeze when you need to park. On the motorway it holds its own with plenty of power & you should see the stunned look of some Audi drivers when I pass them.
