Fiat Panda (2004 - 2011) 1.2 Dynamic 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm not sure its a fashion statement! but I like the looks alot - not as cutesy as the Aygo etc. I think it is a break from the norm.

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

Most of them still think of the 70's Fiats and I think that is very sad. It seems that nothing Fiat can do will bring them round.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, the whole car feels very solid and the build quality is excellent. It has bags of character and the pricing is spot on.

What are you likely to buy next?

For our runaround we'll certainly have Fiat on our list but I hope to keep this one for quite a while.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£5,998

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes - Pre-registered deal meant I saved a bundle.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Required a cheap, reliable runaround that would be cheaper to run than a motorbike.

What was the dealer like?

Perfect - friendly, accomodating, nice to deal with. Made the whole car buying experience a pleasure.

What's it like to drive?

A brilliant drive, typically Italian! Steering is fast and accurate, handling is assured and the whole setup makes you want to drive it fast - very enjoyable.

What's it like to park?

Lots of visibility, the electric power steering is light as is all the controls.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

It's small size makes it very nibble in town and the 4 doors makes it easy for us to the kids into for short trips.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The gearstick is mounted on the dash and this makes for fast, slick gearchanges. I really like the fuel computer - makes you watch how you drive to maximise fuel economy.
