I absolutely bloody love these!

How do you find it?

 

[Lawro]

I keep saying I am going to get one of these as a daily.. Maybe next year!

 

[-Rob]

I absolutely bloody love these!

How do you find it?

Honestly? It's a riot, keep the momentum up on the B roads and you quickly find yourself smiling. I'll miss it when it goes.

 

[Russ_16v]

Very shiny!

 

[jesus]

These are one of my favourite cars ever. I really miss mine! I think you have to have been in one or owned one to fully appreciate them.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Do you walk around with your Y fronts infont of your trousers?



Heroic? f**k that, f**king super hero.

 

[-Rob]

Very shiny!

Thanks Russ

They are the most underated luke-warm hatch, it's always hard to say.. well actually I have a top of the range er, Fiat Panda.

Love or hate, it's a Marmite car but thanks Danny!

 

[jesus]

Haha yeah I used to hate telling people what it was. Mine had Abarth badges on it as well.

It's the same with a Clio Trophy though.

'What car do you drive?'

'Well it's a Clio, but...' :dapprove:

LOL!

A mate was trying to big me up to a girl on a night out once.

"He's got 2 cars!!! A Clio and an MX-5"


'Well you made that sound s**t! thanks mate!'

I think it was your car that actually made me look at them in the first place :approve:

Surely the Trophy gets noticed more than the Panda did?

With that question in mind, I suppose it does pay off to own a BMW/Audi/Porsche etc.

Looks great and they are one of the nations best kept secrets. I love mine as well and actually enjoy taking it out just to see people's faces when you zip away from traffic lights. I too have Abarth badges on to confuse people and disguise the fact its a Panda

 

[jezcharger]

Been looking at these but concerned about the boot size, how does it compare to a mk 2 clio for example?

 

[riz]

The boot is tiny, we couldn't fit a pram in there!!!

 

[DanielJames]

Love it. Like most Pistonheads members and Evo readers in this thread, I've got a soft spot for these!

It's a nippy car around town that's for sure, I considered the Abarth badges but I have the newer style Red Fiat ones, so went against that idea.. yours is great Pete, I still regret not getting a white one!

Boot size, id say it's shallower, but it's most certainly 'taller' to stack things in the boot, it's a strange misconception - it's actually a really good sized boot!

The boot is tiny, we couldn't fit a pram in there!!!

I'm not sure what kind of Pram you've attempted to wedge in there, but my Silvercross fits in perfectly fine.. better than the other halfs 62 plate Corsa for that fact.

I've fitted a weeks load of shopping for 3 people in there with ease, fits two of the Panda alloys in there to for reference and they're the same size as the Clios.

That's good to know been looking at Corsas too

 

[Ian_182]

I still cant get used to the look of them at all,far too OAP for me.

Meant to be a hoot to drive though.

 

[daveski]

Saw someone take a road bike out of one of these once so the boot can't be that small!

 

[-Rob]

It's a simple case of knowing what these are about to really appreciate them, just like Jesus said previously.

Welcome to have a look around if you're over this way

That was my first impression of the Panda, after a test drive it soon changed my opinion. Not the best looking car, due to proportions and height - but it's so under rated and quite subtle in black!

 

[Paul.M]

Lovely looking car buddy

My friend has one of these and Im a fan of them, he loves it too there seems to be something very addictive about how they drive.

 

[Daniel]

Bloody brilliant cars. Love it!

 

[harey]

nice one.

this is mine

just got a Magneti Marelli exhaust to put on it

just awesome cars. great for embarrassing much more powerful cars

 

[Alan]

Such a soft spot for these, loved reading the fast fleet reviews in EVO on it too..

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Such a massive soft spot for these

Is that the one I linked you to? They sound great fitted!

I had a blast with an S3 in mine once. Obviously he took off, but we came to a corner and I kept my foot planted. He wouldn't believe it was a 1.4 non-turbo!

 

[Gally]

Such an awesome little bus!

I can just imagine how that exhaust sounds!

 

[jesus]

I can just imagine how that exhaust sounds!

Standard with just a straight-through centre like the one above. Perfect IMO!

They even used a picture of my car for the latest buying guide

Ahh, really, I thought I recognised it, that's maybe a bit if a selling point mate.

How does it compare to the Abarth, Luke?

I've put it in a couple of Adverts, the one on here and eBay have it noted
