We have a Panda Pop 2013 model and it's a little pocket of fun. It's not high level plastics and it's basic inside. But it is cheap and frugal motoring. They are a giggle round corners.

Petrol 1.2 dualogic.Gets us from A to B with not a lot of fuss, except for dodgy neutral switch when wet. Needs sorting. Overall surprisingly capable for what appears as a box on wheels. No fuss on...

Mrs Pondo had an 08 multijet from new until earlier this year, great little car. Fantastic visibility, lots of room for the size of car (boxy!), went well enough - softly sprung so it DOES go round...

Some good stuff to ponder thanks. Test driving a 1.2 tomorrow, may see if they have a 0.9 to try as well. If we like the drive the next thing we will do is try the dog in the back. BC discount sounds...

We've just got rid of a fiat 500 for the reasons outlined by Mike. Build quality was crap (I guess the Panda would be the same) ride and handling took me right back to the '70's and the 1.4ltr petrol...
