1982 Fiat Panda 45C 0.9 petrol
Faults:
Wheels rusted out, floorpan rusted out, doors rusted out, electrics a joke, headlight switch burnt out, windscreen wiper action caused all the warning lights to flicker, brake master cylinder failed, exhaust rusted out... And I only kept the car for 2,000 miles!
General Comments:
The car was an absolute disaster. I never want to set foot in one again. Something went wrong every time I drove it, but the engine must have balls of steel because tried to rev it into an early grave and it just laughed. Ridiculously low gearing (nearly 5000 rpm at 70 mph) made for a ear-damaging journey, but on A-roads it was surprisingly adept at overtaking. Bucket of crap as a car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
