Fiat Panda (2004 - 2011) 1.1 Active ECO 5d (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure, but I don't really care!

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

They generally like it. They are surprised by how solid it is.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. I was wary of Fiats due to their reliability history, but I have been won over!

What are you likely to buy next?

Perhaps the new Panda?

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£6,200

When did you buy the car?

November 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, it was on special offer. Good finance rate and low monthly payments.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was cheap!

What was the dealer like?

Good. Efficient. No problems at all!

What's it like to drive?

Good fun around town and on narrow country roads. It handles nicely, in fact, it reminds me a bit of the old mini! Fairly gutless on the motorway but cruises at 70mph well once it gets there. I didn't buy it for performance, though!

What's it like to park?

Easy!

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, it has been very reliable. The electric windows stick a bit in the cold weather, that's all!

What's most practical about your car?

There is space for four and it is quite spacious in the back with the seats down. Takes the grocery shopping non problem.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Not many gadgets! The "City" steering is great for parking.
