Fiat Panda

Hi.
Put a deposit on a 2014 Fiat Panda 1.2 Lounge today. All being well will have it at the end of the month.
Drives lovely only done 19,000 miles and is plenty big enough for us both.
Pictures soon.

Nice choice bud be easier getting in & out of than the 75.
Pretty new so shouldn't give any issues & still under warranty?

Got the renaming fiat warranty plus an extra year from Parks. Funny to drive a car with no rattles and bangs.

Brilliant. Really pleased you're sorted Trevor. I've never driven one of the new Pandas but I've only ever heard good things. Chap along the road has one and absolutely loves it.

Thanks Stewart.
Before I realised I could get some pension money I had been looking at the previous model. Some of them had corrosion on the rear beam and this put me off. I'd then started to look at the Dacia but was put off with a couple I looked at. Then after speaking to my friend in the trade he suggested the later Panda, they seem to get good reviews, good reliability, good spares availability and cheap even from Fiat. The build quality is also far better than I would have imagined.

Congratulations Trev, I really hope the Panda brings you many years of trouble free motoring.

What colour did you go for in the end?

Here you are. This is the actual car.

Looks nice Trev, very funky.

They are great little cars Trevor and yours looks lovely.
Here's to many years trouble free and happy 'Pandaring'

I looked at a Panda 100HP a few years back, great car and very nippy, unfortunately is wasn't big enough for what we wanted but, I'd still have one tomorrow.

Thats smart, interior is very cool. Paintwork looks like seafrost as well so your still in a 75
