Good Points

Exceptionally well screwed together, quiet, comfortable, roomy and 50+mpg. All for under £6,000 new. It is one of those cars that has turned into a family pet. Panda drivers wave to each other in a we are happy with what we have and are not paying over the odds for a VW in some desperate attempt for image. Or pay 50% more for a Ford or Vauxhall with less image! Or pay extra for one of the French cars that is bound to break down.
The room inside is really good. Four adults inside isn't a squeeze and there is more room for passenger and luggage than say a Peugeot 206. But don't expect to take four adults and camping gear for a week. With the back seats down, the space in the back is a great cube shaped area, I have got sofa chairs in the back.


Bad Points

Performance isn't all that, but once up to speed it will keep up with the traffic no problems, including motorways.

Fiat have a terrible reputation for reliability and build quality. I would never recommend anyone buying a Fiat, except the Panda!
Have a test drive, go with all those awful preconceptions about dire Fiats, go with hate in your eyes and think you are going to dislike every moment inside the car. After the test drive, be honest, I will like it!
