My Panda 100HP

[jesus]

Forgot these pics existed, never seen them before! Thanks Bonxy

My old Panda from the journey to FCS '11. Took it on track there - it handled like no other. <3

I miss it! :dapprove:

Ace little car, i did lol as you brapped it past us all quite often on that trip.

 

[PP200t]

Awesome!! I had one for a while and loved it. Great fun in the twisteez!!

 

[Christopher]

Awesome little cars. I saw one in red the other week... it looked superb. Really chunky.

 

[shell-vt]

good little cars these

 

[Tunst]

Actully love these little things...

 

[Mr Burns]

I've been offered a tempting deal on one of these!

 

[Kane.]

Love the number plate.

You won't regret it, they are seriously fun little cars. Not fast fast, but nippy and quick enough! Really did love mine. It was in the grey colour, which was exclusive to the 100hp, but isn't now.

 

[Mr Burns]

What's the gearbox like? My biggest concern is the Fiat build quality.

 

[jesus]

Mine was fine but then again I bought it with only 17k miles. 6-speed is a godsend though.

 

[Mr Burns]

The one I'm looking at is the same colour with 20k+ miles, what did your original red end dude?

 

[jesus]

It was on 23k when I sold it.

PF07 SZG.

 

[welshname]

That car was ace. Never got a passenger ride in it. You had a proper skin head as well then...Chav.

 

[Mr Burns]

...Same mileage, different plate lol.

 

[welshname]

You'd know if it was Jamie's. It had the Abarth badges.

 

[PP200t]

Mine had Amarth scorpions on it!! Lol

 

[Mr Burns]

Does seem like a good idea, I never felt the Ignis wasn't quick enough and I could still keep up with Clios and Civics on track.

 

[Hixle]

My brothers is on 45k and the gearbox is fine imo.

Love these cars. Only negative is the light clutch and steering, but you soon get used to it.

I still would if I could be bothered cutting it ever!

Steering is nice, especially with sport mode on. Makes it a bit heavier for the win.

I think these look aweful, looks like an older shape punto thats been squashed and then stretched to make it look super tall.

 

[jesus]

Can't see how it looks like an older shape Punto but they are designed to be quite spacious inside.

You have to drive one to appreciate them. It handles better than my Trophy.

 

[Mr Burns]

You can't win really... Manufacturers are making cars that all look very similar, and getting mocked for it in the process. When something quirky and different does come along it's accused of being ugly. At the end of the day it's a Fiat Panda, it's meant to look practical and purposeful.

 

[Darren S]

I have a soft-spot for these.

Maybe they do resemble the Mk.1 Punto slightly and that's why I like them. I had mine for over 6 years.

D.

 

[Chris205]

Think we're getting one instead of the dci, it will be in white and has around 30k on iirc.

Do these cars have any known issues?

Yeah, I bet its great fun, looks just aren't to my taste that's all.

 

[Katy Clio x]

My brother has one of these, they look funny but I love them.

 

[Mr Burns]

Just been to see one... A little bit disappointed tbh, it felt cheaper and nastier than I'd predicted. I was more impressed with the Swift Sport I tried.

Not that I know of, but there's a fountain of knowledge on www.fiatforum.com

Depending on how you drive it/what type of journeys you do, they are not brilliant on fuel. On a long run mine was, but I did a lot of short journeys (at speed ) and was getting 35mpg. Got driven hard at weekends though so could have been that!

I liked the interior personally but a lot of people have said it feels cheap.

 

[JD]

Is that Jam's car I spy?

Swift Sports are awesome mate. We nearly bought one instead of the 133.

 

[Mr Burns]

I fancy a red Swift Sport with maybe a couple of mods... That would then mean I had two red Suzukis lol

 

[Scott™]

Lol very nice. Especially the colour

 

[jesus]

No idea who he is or what car you mean.

 

[Will.]

Looks soo cool. Did it really handle better than the T does?

 

[jesus]

I'd say so yep! Never once had an 'oops' moment in it. It handled perfectly.

Do it! I'm loving the swift, for what it is you can't go wrong!

 

[welshname]

Wasn't fast enough for one.

 

[jesus]

ZS' couldn't keep up on straights or country roads

 

[welshname]

100% could.

My friend was very upset last night when he hooned it past me on our private runway in his 6n2 GTi that's been mapped, decatted etc etc. He got the head start, I closed, got on his bumper as I pull across for the overtake he let off to save embarrassment.

All he does is go on about how slow the ZS's are (which they are in comparison to most bhp wise) but clearly it's faster than his 6n2 (and his 6n2 isn't down on power).
