Fiat Panda 100HP (2006 - 2010) 1.4 16v 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I know a good car when i see one?

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Its very well recieved all round.. i love the design but i thought some might say it was boxy or something similar. but practically everyone i know really likes it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

This car is genius and an absolute steal for the money.. a couple of car discount places have them at this price and for £8600 nothing can touch it..I tried 6 cars in total and this won me over instantly. Though i tend not to buy the same car twice. I'm sure in three years or so there will be something else which has somehow surpassed this.. hopefully the new fiat 500 will go one better!

What are you likely to buy next?

I've had quite a few cars from great to terrible but this car is possibly the best i have had.. so far. I'd like to say another small fiat.. hoping they have now sorted their overall car build quality and the panda isn't just a one off.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£8,600

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got an excellent deal. roughly £1800 less than retail price from fiatsupasavers.. very very happy with that!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was great, always helpful, the sale went very smoothly and the car was spotless.

What's it like to drive?

Just brilliant.. can give you some serious grins! very well poised and holds like glue when cornering. The sport button makes a genuine difference too.. gives sharper throttle response and makes steering a little heavier and better in my opinion as the steering is a little too light normally. Its also a great everyday driving car, suprisingly smooth with little wind noise and even less engine noise.

What's it like to park?

A doddle to park. electric mirrors help to keep an eye on the kerb too.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I've only had the car a few weeks so maybe i'll post another review down the line! Though its very early days everything seems very solid.

What's most practical about your car?

For such a small car its very accommodating with great headroom for all and its probably better than expected for legroom too.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The climate control is just brilliant. works so fast and its pretty quiet too can get pretty chilly if need be!.. certainly not something i expected standard on a car this price!
