2006 Fiat Panda Dynamic review from UK and Ireland
"Better than I thought"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Well this is not actually my own car it was a courtesy car while my car is being repaired. Well I will admit when I saw I was getting this car as a courtesy car I was loke oh my goodness a Fiat Panda you are kidding right.
Actually I am 20 years old, but I am very impressed with this little car. the first thing I noticed was how nippy the little 1.2 engine is and it is always willing and is quite nippy as well. perfromance feels quicker than Fiats quoted 14 seconds. It likes the revs aswell, but it dies off at around 5,000 RPM and and after that you just get a lot of noise. Economy is quite good better than my other car average of around 45 MPG on the motorway and even when pushed it'll still give over 40 mpg.
Also what shocked me was how tall 5th gear is for such a small engined car it is doing 70 mph at 3,000 RPM and 90 mph is done at 4,000 RPM. so the engine never feels strained at higher speed.
The Sound system is rubbish, but it is good enough for a £6,500 car and you do get quite a good amount of car I must admit.
This car is a lot better than I thought when I got it as my courtesy on Monday morning. I am actually going to miss it in a way.
