Faults:

The Exhaust started blowing at around 73000miles and had that replaced.

Driver seat is worn, just general wear really, no cigarette burns or anything.

One clip on Air Filter box snapped due to my ignorance, forcing the clip shut when I hadn't put it on properly! Unlike other pandas, this one has no rust! Excellent condition!

General Comments:

For a 750cc, I must say I'm surprised at it's performance. Top speed of 87mph, foot to the floor. Easiest car ever to park in the smallest of spaces. The interior decor is absolutely disgusting, but it's a sweet car, does the job nicely at 50mpg+

Faults:

The Gearbox started to make a lot of noise. The choke had to be left on a lot of times. The engine would stop working very often. The seats where totally worn out. The car was also rusty.

General Comments:

The gearbox was not smooth. The car did not do well on bumps because it's so short. It also doesn't feel very safe. This is the last car I would want do have an accident in.

The only plus on this car is it's low price. However, you can get much better cars for just a little bit more money. I paid 300 euro and got 0 back. Panda's are very cheap, but not worth even that. I'd rather have a 10 year old Toyota than a brand new Panda.

In retrospect, the almost 30 years old Beetle which I had prior to this car was even better and much more reliable.

Faults:

The electronic ignition had to be replaced two times. A very expensive thing!!

Car body shows a bit rust... for example doors, bonnet.

General Comments:

The Panda is perfect for one or two person (s).

For it's size the Panda is very spacious inside and as long as you don't have to sit behind it is not that bad to sit.

The double sun-roof is incredible and you should not buy a Panda without.

Performance is enormous for only 45HP. Top speed is about 160km/h! Acceleration in the first two gears is also very good.

Perfect city-car.

Fuel consumption is perfect... it is NEVER more than 7l/100km. Absolutely NEVER! Most of the time it is about 6l/100km.

Faults:

Main jet dropped out of the carb. Still ran quite well, though the MPG plummeted.

CV gaiter split.

Door bottoms rusted.

Brake master cylinder went.

General Comments:

The faults listed above are not complaints - they're just what you expect from a cheap, aging Italian car.

For a car so good off-road, the Panda is brilliant on the tarmac. While a bit noisy on motorways, it buzzes about happily in town traffic and pulls away far faster than you'd think.

Parts are cheap, servicing is simple and you get more individuality than with a Fiesta or Nova.

Land Rover drivers can't work out why there's a shopping trolley following them.

Faults:

A bit of rust at the rear seat belt mounts.

Tailgate tends to close automatically (usually on my head!) in cold weather.

General Comments:

This has got be the cheapest car I have ever owned & run. It does 50mpg regularly.

Gear box is a bit flaky but excellent at nipping away.

For a small car there is a lot of space in the front.
