Fiat Panda

I have a 2008 58 reg Fiat Panda 100hp 1.4 liter engine, i have had a number of different cars in the four years i have been driving but this has to be one of the best for quite a low price. The pandas are small and quite boxy giving them a retro eighties feel, however their is nothing old feeling inside with a grey curvy dashboard and large dials it look really cool the seats are black and grey and very comfortable although might feel a bit restrictive for a larger person, one downside is they are only a four seater, with plenty of leg room in the front but not that great in the back okay for kids but not 6ft tall men. as well as the retro exterior ...  Read the complete review

I didn't think the day would come when I would gleefully write about the death of my Punto. But alas, two months ago while passing a Fiat garage with a large 0% finance sign gleaming in the sun, the idea of a new car sprung into my mind. 0%, can I possibly go wrong I mussed? So in I popped with all intentions to upgrade my x reg Punto for a brand new sparkly Punto. At least that was until I spotted the reincarnated Panda sat beside what then appeared to be a rather clumsy big brother Punto! A small amount of sales chat and a couple of forms later, I became the proud owner of a bright blue Panda. I know what you are all thinking, wasn't the Panda ...  Read the complete review

Well, we have been and gone and taken the plunge- we've bought a second car! The reason for this is that, in spite of the fact that she is very pregnant, my wife decided to learn to drive! The problem that exists for us is that we live in a remote village in the wilds of Lincolnshire and it would appear to me that if you want to catch a bus you have to apply 3 months in advance- anyway, I digress.... We needed a car that would provide basic and reasonably economical transport for my good lady and the nipper, and also for the one due imminently (Nolly pauses to hear a groan- no it's not the onset of labour, it's his waistband!). The boot would have to ...  Read the complete review

I was lent a Fiat Panda 1000cl for a few months after the Nissan Micra packed up. I was planning on using this car only for a few months while I was looking for a new car. In the 4,500 miles I covered in the time I had the Panda I had a very strong opinion on the car. What is a Panda? The Fiat Panda is a city/town car, which was made to rival the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Austin Metro. The Panda was in production from 1982 up to 1995 (M reg). The Cinquecento came to take the cars place, the cinquecento started production in 1993. The Cinquecento was taken over by the Seicento. Exterior. The earlier Fiat Pandas rust very badly ...  Read the complete review

I am going to start this review by saying right up front that we are not Fiat Panda owners. However, I am fortunate enough during the course of the average year to get my hands on between 12 and 30 different cars to try, all types and sizes, from Fiat Panda's to V12 VW Pheaton's. I was born with a steering wheel in my hands and you could say, perhaps, that I am something of an amateur test driver! This review is based on our experiences at the Company Car in Action event at Millbrook Testing Ground in Bedfordshire last summer. The beauty of this event is that you have the opportunity to drive a huge range of cars, all on the same day, back to back on the two ...  Read the complete review
