Into fiat panda ownership. I feel like I know the car now so would anyone be interested in a little oppo review?

Drove one once, loved it. So yes. Does it ever bore?

Not really, I'm still enjoying my time with it. I haven't driven many cheap runarounds that have this kind of personality, while also being grown up and comfortable on longer motorway trips.

Of course! How else will I ever learn about the beast that is the Panda?

I'm still mad that we don't get a true Panda in the states...

Well you get the chassis in the form of the 500. The main difference is that you can fit actual humans in the back of the panda...

Exactly... And the Panda is just plain cooler than the 500 (aside from the Abarth)

A Panda Abarth needs to happen, I'd buy one.

And have a spec ice racing series.

Yes ice racing pandas is a thing that happened, kimi raikonnen and alonso raced in it.

Well, actually it nearly exists :

Fiat Panda 100Hp

100hp from a NA 1.4 liter engine, 15 inches alloy wheel (adding +30mm on front and rear axle) with 195/45/15 tires, -20mm spring and bigger anti-roll bar... and a 6speed manual !

Yeah I had a look round a panda 100 before I bought mine. Couldnt afford the insurance and fuel costs unfortunately. Nice little cars though.

You should tell this to an American, how you couldn't afford the fuel costs of a 100 hp vehicle. I bet you'll get a very blank stare.

Yeah most likely haha. What's a very economical car to them is out of range for me. Its mainly because I'm a student though to be fair.

yes :D

think it's cool that there is a 4x4 option, small 4wd options are desperately needed in the US
