LOVE IT! it’s dirt cheap in every single way you can imagine. Repairs, fuel, tax, insurance etc. you won’t find anything to compeat for the quality and reliability it offers.
Stay away from the newer panda 3 models (summer 2012 and newer) the engine is only a two cylinder and has a lot of issues because it is a completely new engine design. Get the older models preferably the newest you can get (up to summer 2012) the newest of them have aircondition and a slightly more efficient engine. The engine in the panda 2 is the tried and tested 69Hp Fire Engine used by many many small cars and is so reliable they can run for many hundreds of thousands of km. As an example mine is from the last batch from 2012 has run 165k km and doesn’t use a single drop of oil. I change oil and it runs for over a year and the level is exactly the same when i change it again.
what i love about it the most is that it is so cheap i don’t really care about it much so if it gets a tittle scratch or gets filled with dog-hair i really don’t care much. Just buff it out and clean it a bit and it’s good as “new”
is it the most comfortable car? well no, but it’s not that bad. Tried much worse in other cars similar priced. Is it the pretties car? No, but it has lots of space for it’s size. Does it have lots of smart features? no but i don’t want that anyway. Just give me air condition and i’m happy.
Damn i love it.
I was thinking buying a fiat panda, how is it ?
