I drove my sisters last night loads of headroom but not much room for the elbows, mind you I am 6' 3" and weigh quite a bit. I was surprised how nippy it was tho. Seats not very wide might fit a 7

Very weak if easy to change head gasket, ECU's have a nasty habit of dropping out 2 cylinders, only cure is a new ECU.

I never thought much of FIAT until we brought our Doblo a year ago. Now we are getting two more

Oh Dear,

Thing about FIATs is the number horror stories don't change over the years, they just get more expensive fix.

I thought it was FIAT = Fix It Again Tomorrow?

Dunno about the car you have, sure you can google for surveys.

This is one of the first times I've had to disagree with you I think, in the case of the Panda at least. Fiat have made some appalling contraptions in the past but make some cracking superminis now.

The new Panda has had great reviews and reliability so far is pretty good. Check out last years JD Power survey; better than the majority of the French superminis, better than the Fiesta, better than the Corsa etc.
